Thank You Cindy!
Hi Brenda! Lovely stitching! I truly look forward to your videos! Take care! ❤
Thank You!!
We are going to call you the afgan queen of the flosstube world:) They are very beautiful .can t wait to see your progress on them.
Thank You!! LOL!!
All of your WIP's are amazing. You sure are ambitious!!! I want to thank you for your video about the lap stand you use. I developed arthritis in my left thumb and hadn't been able to stitch since the end of Dec. I ordered the lap stand and received it the first week of March. I am now able to stitch with just using my right hand. It is a little slower, but I am loving it. Thanks again!! Keep up your beautiful stitching.
Thank You Alice! And I'm so glad the lapstand is working out well for you!!!
Your Greg Olsen stitch is absolutely beautiful! Love your flosstube!
Thank You Diana! I love working on that one :)
All of your stitching is so beautiful! My favorite for now is Kingdom of Books!
I love that one too :)
Your work is amazing and beautiful.
Thank You Connie!
I love the kingdom of book piece. Really lovely.
Thank You Sheila! I love that one too :)
Hey Brenda...I have fallen in love with the Tiny town series too...going to stitch a few of them! Love your hair...looks sexy on you.😊. Your WIPS like is Sooo interesting to see the progress and look for my favorites!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2023!!
Thank You Karen!!!!! Miss you!
Finally trying to do Flosstube catchup. Love all your projects Brenda, especially the Carol Manning one, the colors are beautiful. Will miss you at St. George. 🤗😊
Thank You Jenny!!!
Beautiful stitching as always. I love seeing your afghans. And then I have to stop myself from ordering afghan patterns. Maybe someday, they're so tempting. I'm impatiently waiting for the beach tiny town pattern.
LOL!! Me too!!!!! They are so tempting! And I am watching for that beach tiny town to be released as well :)
Love your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!
Thank You Karin!

Wonderful projects Brenda and super pretty stitching. I don't have a favorite because I liked them all but all your houses and books are astounding!!!
Oh please do tell Catherine; Boss Daughter, that I'm sending her lots of applause on the Fairy Tales all framed. Perfectly done and so worth the effort!!!! Thanks so much for putting the picture in so I could see along with all your fans. What a wonderful Floss Tube post and I got to be part of it. So counting my blessings in the snow today. I wonder if my little crocus will ever show their flowers this year. We've needed an end to the drought though so much gratitude to God for sending it to us. Happy stitching on your soon to come Spring break.
Thank You Lilia! I love that picture of Catherine :) And I totally agree about the crocus. I am so grateful for the snow, but so ready for some warmer weather, lol.
Great visit!
Thanks ☀️
Thank You Kim!!
Thank you for your video. You really did stitch on alot of different WIPS! That's good for us, because we love to see them! The bags are beautiful! That quilted blue one looks like your project from Historich Stickmuster! Hmmm! 🤔 Take care and happy stitching!
Thank You Christine! You are right! I need to go home and put that project in that bag!!
I’m interested in the sulkey pack. I live in West Texas. You are one of my favorite floss tubers & I love the k-9 tributes.
Hi Darcy! I think you meant to comment on one of Stacey's videos, she is the 9-1-1 Stitcher :)
I’m a Brian fan too! Happy spring to you-today is the 30th and it’s snowing here again!🥶
Oh dear, snowing there as well? What a crazy year :)
Oh Brenda I enjoy each of your videos, all of your stitching is splendid. I'm amazed at how much you get stitched, and all of your electric charts. The one bag you bought looks so much like the Color of water. Take care stay warm and enjoy your stitching.
Thank You Linda!!
The Jim Shore afghan is just fantastic! Love seeing the progress on all your lovely wips. Happy stitching! ~Angela

Fabulous update Brenda :)

Thanks for sharing! When I saw your tiny village with snow I was happy that we finally moved south where we don’t shovel anymore..or fall!! All your WIPS are looking great!
Thank You Kathie! I am so glad you are out of the snow!!!! :)
Such beautiful projects, and lovely stitching! Always look forward to your videos! Thank you
Thank You Nancy!
Always look forward to your videos❤ I love what you did with the sea colors in the By the Bay piece. It looks great. I got a small start on Spring Montage, the full coverage version and I'm loving it already. Thanks for sharing your progress and what you used to get that color on the fabric. I wrote it down to try out sometime. Happy Stitching and enjoy your break!
Thank You!!! So glad you are enjoying Spring Montage :)
Super video. Always love seeing your beautiful finishes and WIPs also. The new starts are going to be fun watching you stitch them. Great haul. Thanks for sharing.
Thank You Jo Marie!!
I really like all your projects, they are very similar to my style but some of your big projects blow me away. It was fun to hear about the Dutch canal homes. (Need to find that video). Hugs and blessings on your upcoming week.
Thank You Diane! I keep meaning to go back in my "watch history" and figure out what the name of the documentary was! :)
Ok! the TH-cam video I watched was "The Canal Houses of Amsterdam" and the channel name is DocoMonde. th-cam.com/video/NqzOntsJeX8/w-d-xo.html
I come here to see your progress on the russian-dutch bookshelf. It is so pretty but I know I would not have the patience to stitch that. :) I love it.
Thank You! I love that one too :)
Goodness! You have been busy! I just love the progress you've made on your projects. Thank you for taking the time to mention all the details of fabric, flosses, and your changes. Your Easter pieces at the end are beautiful.
Thank You Judy!
Fabulous WIPs! Maybe I will meet you at Stitch Con weekend B.
Thank You Leslie! Yes! I hope we get to meet :)
Beautiful work on your Sunday stitch.
Thank You Linda! It is such a pretty pattern.
All your projects are beautiful. Lost no More and Kingdom of Books are magnificent!
Thank You Barbara! I enjoy working on those two :)
Well.. the afghans are calling my name..I wanted to do one of the patterns you are working on my I ended up just getting a nursery Afghan and some little animals to stitch on it..for the grandchild I someday may have… you totally enabled me on it though..I can’t crochet or knit or quilt so this will be the only way I can create a blanket of some kind..lol
Hi Angela! Ohhhh, what a perfect gift for a someday grandchild. You are smart to start on it now :) And it will be gorgeous!!!
Brenda thanks for sharing! I enjoy seeing all your projects! Enjoy your school break! Looking forward to seeing what you get done then!
Thank You Barbara!
Such lovely stitching. I love the Kingdom of Books
Thank You Gene!
So fun to see your progress on your projects.
Thank You Char!
You are making beautiful progress, as always, on your projects. I love seeing them come alive!
Thank You Kathy!
Love your videos!
Thank You Vickie!
You are the first flosstuber that I found after typing "cross stitch" for the first time on youtube. I stayed because I loved your work and the way you explain things. Thank you so much for sharing! Today you totally enabled me to pick up the Secret Sewing Room SAL has a gift for myself because I'm starting a new professional course :)
Hello Lucia! I'm so glad you found the wonderful community of Flosstube :) And best wishes on your new course! I think the Little Dove SAL is the perfect way to treat yourself :)
@@Handworkmaniac Treating myself with cross stitch has been so fun! Thank you for your wishes.
Love your progress on Lost No More - it’s turning out beautifully!!
Thank You Ashley! It is such a lovely design :)
All the projects are looking great! That Jim shore Afghan is going to be a family heirloom I'm absolutely sure! Kat x
Thank You Kat! I love it, but it will take forever!!
Thank you for the update, Brenda. You worked on heaps of items! The afghans look like fun. Your stitching is beautiful, as always. 🏡
Thank You Margaret! If definitely felt like heaps, lol.

Thank You Morgan! I love that one :)
Your videos are wonderful. Like your Afghans I started and am doing the Halloween one from Stoney Creek it is so fun to stitch.🦋🧵
Thank You Susan! I have that chart in my stash as well, I love it!!! But I better not start it yet, lol!
Beautiful
Thank You Jacqueline!
I love your updates, Brenda. We have the same taste on stitching projects, and I always want to start everything you're working on. Today is no exception. I've looking for the Little Dove Designs mystery SAL, and I'm not finding it on their Etsy at all.
Thank You Teresa! So sorry to enable, lol! I think Little Dove Designs had an April 1st deadline to sign up for the Sewing Room SAL. But after the SAL is over in the Fall, she said she would release the whole design for purchase :)
Good morning Brenda it was fun eating breakfast with you this morning. I met you at Stitch-Con last year. I’m happy to hear you are attending again this year. I will see you there. I was wondering where do you purchase the large pieces of fabric you stitch on.
Hi Bonnie!!! So nice to talk to you again! And glad we will see each other again this year :) I usually buy my big pieces of fabric from 123stitch.com. But I did buy the large pieces of afghan fabric from the Stoney Creek website.
#allthetinytowns 🤣🤣🤣 And those bags are gorgeous!
LOL!!! Miss you already!
Thank you for sharing your talent.
You are very welcome Linda :)
You definitely fly with the Christmas afghan unless you are frogging and then it's considerably slower than stitching. I love love love your new afghan. It was hard to tell on camera. How much of that was bead? I had to sit on my hands when you showed Primavera in the City. Must. Not. Buy. Can you work on 46ct without magnification? I've never seen small counts like that in person. I bought Kingdom of Books because of you. I haven't started it, but it's on the list.
Hi Julie!!! You should definitely avoid that frogging stuff, lol!! There are no beads in the first square of the afghan, but there will be in the next square! I wear my 3.5 reading glasses for all of my stitching, even on 28 ct. But I can see the 46 ct just as well as I can see the 28 ct with them. When I work on 56ct, I have a pair of stronger reading glasses that I use. And if it is night I have to have my floor lamp right over my shoulder shining right on it. Yay Kingdom of Books!!!!! And you know it will only be a matter of time until one of those city of rabbit seasons ends up at your house . . . .
Great progress! 🦋🦋🌻
Thank You Daniela!
Your new patchwork bag reminds me of your Colors of Water piece. Lost No More is so lovely. I have a couple of the Janet Severs Jaylyn kits, too. I haven't started them yet because I am a very slow stitcher and already have about 13 projects, many of which are very large or full coverage. Lol.
Thank You Lynn!!! So happy you found the Janet Stever kits! The best thing about kits is that they will wait patiently for you until you have time to start them :)
I love your flosstubes!! You explain things so well, why you make the changes you do. Very informative! Would you mind sending me the DMC conversion to Sunnyside Sampler by The Drawn Thread? I bought the chart and fabric, not knowing DMC conversion was not listed. Hope to see you in a couple weeks. Are you getting lamblasted with snow like the Bougie Sisters in Wyoming? We are pretty temperate here in southern Missouri.
Thank You Joyce! Yes, I would be happy to share! Email me at adnerbyakj@gmail.com and I will send it to you :) Yes, we have had a LOT of snow, clear into the first week in April. Now it has warmed up a little and we are just getting rain, lol. But it is still getting down into the 20s this week at night. A slow cold Spring for sure :)
You continue to inspire me with all your beautiful cross stitch projects. Do you use pattern keeper? Thank you so much for all your floss tubes. Wishing you and your family a very Happy Easter.
Thank You Sandra! I do use Pattern Keeper, but only on my large full-coverage pieces :)
❤
Thank You!
Thank you once again for a great video. You have such interesting projects and give good information. I really appreciate the work you put into your presentations.
Thank You Brigitte! I am glad it was helpful :)
All your stitching is so beautiful! I was wondering if you could explain something. I notice that most stitchers on youtube stitch on high count fabric (for example: the crochette a gogo on 46 count doing one strand of floss over two fabric threads). Wouldn't it be easier to stitch on 23 count using two strands of thread over one square? I use 14 or 18 count aida and two strands of floss over one square for everything. I tried 22 count once and found it to hard to see where I was going. Just wondering about this. Thank you for your wonderful channel and your demeanor is so soothing and calming.
Thank You Linda! I know a lot of stitchers would rather stitch with one strand of floss instead of 2 strands. And they choose 46 ct because they like the coverage of 1 strand on 46 ct. A 23ct aida would be the same size stitches but I think they only make 22 ct, and 2 strands would be way too thick on 22 ct, you would have to use 1 strand. But some stitchers prefer the look of linen over Aida on the finished product.
❤❤
Thank You Jamie!
I lived in Holland for a couple of years. Your pattern is very accurate. It’s been really fun to watch it grow!
Thank You LouAnn!!! It looks so beautiful there!
🦋🦋🦋
Thank You!!!!
Brenda Brenda ! I have spent my afternoon looking through a number of your videos hoping to find you talking about a French pattern Gigi R. This design incorporates your initial B. I have been able to get the same design with the letter C. I remember you were going to use DMC Paris thread however ,I cannot remember the material you were going to work design on. Would you please help. X
Hi Cathy! I show that one in video #109, but I am not sure if I mentioned the fabric I was doing it on, lol! It is on 46ct Antique White Linen, 1 strand of floss over 2 linen threads :)
Greetings Brenda from bonnie Scotland. Thankyou so much for getting back in touch , Will now look to find 109. Enjoy watching your videos in the afternoon with my stitching or cup of tea in my hand. Look forward to seeing you soon x
Those afghans are amazing. Could you show or tell me how you finish the back - is it backed somehow or how do you make it presentable 😊
Hi Kathryn! No, there is no backing on them, you just have to try and keep your back as neat as possible :) For the edges, you leave a generous unstitched border and then you pull the long threads out to make a fringe.
so I went to his youtube and it appears to be for apple devices only....that explains why I couldn't find it!!
Ohhh, so sorry!
Loved seeing all of your progress on your beautiful projects! Could you send me your English conversion for the houses on the Kingdom of Books project? Thank you.
Thank You Ruth! Yes, I would be happy to share the English titles. Just email me at adnerbyakj@gmail.com and I will send it to you :)
Really enjoyed your videos. Would love to see the back of the afghan. Would love to do one but unsure how to do back and how to finish. I know the loop start but how do you tie off
Hi Mary lou! I will try and remember to show the back next time. To end off, I just flip over to the back and run my thread under 3-4 stitches that are nearby and then cut the thread. I try and keep the back tidy, but it is still going to look like the back of a project :)
I tried to find that app, I don't see it anywhere, I looked several times.
Your projects are amazing. Can I ask please… The linen that you use seems to have nice even threads. I am just starting to stitch on linen and it is a little intimidating. What is your go to? Ty
Thank You LeAnn! I love evenweave fabric like Lugana and Jobelan. They are very similar to linen, but are a man-made fabric with perfectly even threads. They are a great way to get started on linen-type stitching. My favorite actual linens are BeStitchMe, Lakeside Linens, Picture This Plus, and the plain Zweigart colors. But real linen is always going to have "slubs" in it and places where the threads are thicker or thinner. Part of the charm of it :) I just stitch like normal and I don't care that where the threads are thicker the x's are bigger, and where the threads are thinner, the x's are smaller. It all looks amazing in the end :)
@@Handworkmaniac Thank you!
🐢🐿🐌🦈
Thank You Amy!
I am stitching Kingdom of Books too. Will you please share the name of the documentary about the Netherlands? I would love to watch it!
Hi Chris!!! I will go back in my watch history and see if I can figure out what it was called :)
Did you watch it on TH-cam or Netflix?
@@emngracie It was on TH-cam. I promise to look in my watch history as soon as I get home from work today!!! LOL, memory of a goldfish some days :)
Ok! It was "The Canal Houses of Amsterdam" and the channel name is DocoMonde th-cam.com/video/NqzOntsJeX8/w-d-xo.html
Hi are you going to be at Crazy Woman retreat in September?
Hi Linda! Unfortunately, no. I can't be gone from work in September and in October, I don't have enough personal days :)
Maybe next year
Well, apparently now I am going, lol! Are you still going?
