Had to buy the fresian chart. I was raised in the church of the Nazarene and was involved in many food pantry’s. It’s a rewarding experience but also hard work so I know this purchase is a good thing! Thanks for the opportunity!
Kudos for your dedication and commitment to this craft, ladies. Amazing haul! Laura, I was born in Seattle but moved to Bainbridge Island when I was five years old. Beautiful place to live! And happy stitching to you. 🩷🧵🪡
I am both elated and saddened i have now watched each and every episode. I am sad because i have to wait for the next episode. But you have brought me such happiness. Love the two of you.
You both give me so much joy, watching in bed recovering from a sickle cell crisis perfect medicine with my stitching in hand and you two for company😘.Thanks ladies xxxx
Laura and Brenda: It was great to meet you both this past weekend in Rochester. I really enjoyed all the chatter and laughs with Laura and I have to say that I did watch your last floss tube and I did NOT Twitch! You are charming and I will be sure to check out more of your floss tubes. I wanted to respond privately but I could not figure out how. I love that you both enjoy the same craft as I do and that you enjoy the same styles too. I just love sharing my joy of stitching and crafts with others. Have a great week and I hope our paths cross again.
Great episode. So fun spending time with you ladies and hearing about your adventures. Brenda, you have me wanting flower threads so badly. They are definitely on the wish list. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks for another great video, ladies! It was so lovely meeting you at JacobPalooza, Laura. Cannot wait to have you join the tiny stitching fun with Kaylee and I ;)
Proud Canadian here, thank you Laura for wearing your Canada pull over sweatshirt. Loved that you had a good time at Stitch North - glad all the Canadian girls showed you a great time. Congrats on the Laura's pattern from Jacob.
Hi Brenda and Laura, Another Great Show❣️❣️❣️ You both keep me Smiling and Giggling. I hope you both have a wonderful three weeks. Signed, a Huge Fan, 🥰❤️🥰 Chris
Thank you so much for your words abour cross stitch! I guess I missed all the drama going on around it in the past few weeks, but for me stitching is a safe place where I can just enjoy the process.... I loved the Friesian sampler.
You both are so fun to watch and love your sharing and enabaling. Laura as soon as I was Jacob show your sampler on the Evertote flosstube he did with Caroline I schoomed over and bought it. Also I’m sure I will getting more of his other charts you showed as well. Glad you had such a great time in 🇨🇦 and hope you come back again so I can meet you in person. I am planning on going to the first weekend of Stitch North in April. You may have even driven through my hometown on your way to London as I am only 2 hours away.
Brenda & Laura, Three weeks and I was having withdrawals! So good to see you again and hear about all your stitching, travels, & purchases since our last time together. With the weather changing (and the world changing), I am finding so much comfort in my stitching and having so much gratitude for my peaceful home and watching Floss Tube. I am so thankful for a quiet time of reflection and a time of prayers for all those in turmoil across our world. Thank you for sharing your time & talent, your humility & laughter, and your sweet friendship with all of us who "speak the same language" of Cross Stitch. xoxo
Thank you so much Barbara! I found myself stitching in silence last week...no TV on, no music...and it was very restful. Thankful we have our stitching!!!!
Thank you Brenda for providing a voice of reason, and then for both of you providing a ‘safe haven’ for an hour and a half so I could just love my stitching and your happy stories. I’ve got enough drama away from my stitching room🙄🤪. Your Flosstubes are so appreciated.
I love you girls for many reasons but mostly because you’re so”real”. You just go with the flow on your flosstube. Enjoyable to watch you. I always learn something. Thank you and God bless you.
Brenda, your reel on IG was so beautiful and inspirational and made me so happy just looking at it...good for you for blocking out the noise. I will never understand people. I was lol when you guys were talking about being old enough to be your friend's mother. It's funny how our head has trouble catching up with our age! Joy is truly such an amazing finisher and your pieces are beautiful Brenda as are your framed pieces!! The Jacob Paloooza sounds like it was amazing, Laura! Thanks as always for sharing the joy!!! Happy stitching!
I haven't heard about what is going on in the stitching world but I have heard about the knitting. Ah well. We all know that we can never please everyone. I knit, crochet and cross stitch because of the absolute joy it brings me and nothing anyone says or does can take that away from me. I am, I reckon, a bit like you say about being in a bubble when we go to retreats. Or as some may say I have my head in the sand. Ya know what? As long as I can continue to be healthy by avoiding the negativity of the world that's all that matters. And you ladies are a big part of what brings the joy and the goodness and the positivity into my life. So Thank You both. Oh my gosh, I'm cracking up here while you're talking about how old you are. 🤣🤣🤣
Brenda, You are a beautiful stitcher. I know when people tell me that, I think to myself "i can count and I make x's" but I have seen some less than optimal stitching in my days. Those Scattered Seeds pieces are glorious! They are just so beautiful. I think I only have the Remember Me chart. And Laura, I did see that piece on the Evertote video with Jacob and I "gulped" when I saw it. It is so beautiful. The colors Jacob picked are so soft and beautiful. I just re-organized my fabric yesterday since I remodeled my sewing room and I realized how much fabric I am "stashing". I am 70 and I said to myself "what the heck am I saving this fabric for? I gotta start using it!!!" I can't believe< Laura, that you are going to be in Philadelphia. That is where I live (actually about 45 minutes outside the city. Our city will never be the same. I wish I knew about this retreat so I could have signed up....maybe next year. You will be here during a crazy weekend if the Phillies win this play-off series and go to the World Series!!! GO PHILS!
I thank God for my parents who raised me in a home with no prejudice and to understand all people. I don't understand why some people are nasty or feel they have to denigrate people to make themselves good. Laura, I saw Jacob on Evertote's Flosstube, and I felt so proud, even though we have never met. I can understand your being emotional. The cross stitching community is the best. God bless both you and Brenda.
Brenda mentioned Sheri, Colorado Cross Stitcher's newsletter about comfort stitching. You two are my "comfort flosstube"😊. We don't know each other, but I feel like I'm meeting up with old friends for a stitching get together each time I watch you. I don't really stitch samplers, or stitch on 40 count (or linen for that matter!), I don't buy any fancy stitching "extras", and I go to one retreat each year. But in spite of the differences between my stitching life and yours, I truly feel the love of needlework and the sheer enthusiasm for it that you both have and it resonates so much with me. I look forward to watching your flosstubes and settling in with some stitching to hear and see all the great stitching news you've got to share. And of course...the laughs! 😂. Thank you both for all that you share with us and for making me feel right at home with you😊. Enjoy all of your upcoming retreats! Safe travels!
I purchased the Clover dome gadget a couple of years ago for a Modern Folk Embroidery year sal. It is best thing since sliced bread for a monochromatic piece. 10 needles all loaded with floss ready to go. I love that thing. In fact, I might just get another for one of those samplers with the never ending grass (think Plantation Sampler). Great video, I have no idea what the fuss was about, thank goodness.
I will be purchasing a pdf version of the pattern. I donated two Saturdays a month to help out at the food bank. I keep track of all the demographics and we feed between 800 to a 1000 people a month. The majority of the people are single moms with 3-5 children and maybe an elderly parent or grandchildren they are caring for. The next group are the elderly that don’t have a large income to cover rising costs of food. I leave my home and drive 40 minutes to the food bank and don’t get back home until 4 or later. I can’t stress enough if you don’t have money to donate, please donate your time. These people work low paying jobs and have a lot mouths to feed or they are old and just need your help. Thank you for letting me add my concerns and I really enjoy your show ❤❤
I love you both so much because you give us voice and permission to love our passion(cross stitching) as an individual. I agree. I will do me no matter what anyone else does. Always love your banter as friends. Your stitching is beautiful.
That was a great flosstube. Your sweet sentiments about the kindness of stitchers and the friendships that come along with stitching actually made me tear up!
Hi Ladies! Thank you so so much for 90 lovely minutes with you two. I just found your channel, immediately subscribed and will go on to binge watch now. You really inspired me - not only in my stitching but also for my own flosstube. Thank you a ton and best wishes from Austria!
thank you Brenda and Laura for the wonderful flosstube. thank you for new inspirations. Maybe together we will enchant the world to gain more hours for our cross-stitching. Thank you for your kind words about me and my xxx work. I'm glad that together we can all inspire each other so beautifully. Hugs Joflorence8
That Jane Parsons is just gorgeous, Brenda! I love stitching in 40 count, but then you see something like that on 32 count and it’s big and fabulous!! I may need to ponder some 32 count options… Laura - loved seeing your hail from the retreat. You had fun! And thank you both for your very sweet shoutout today. You two are the best. ❤❤ - Sheri
You are so fun to watch! Loved alll you showed. I have the thread dome and use kit for a project only red thread so I have needles ready to go. Love it! You will like if the project with the black thread. Thank you for sharing great video.
Always remember..... You should always keep a part of you a child to enjoy life!!! Yes!!!! Always a treat to watch you two!! Enjoy your day stitching away!! Stitching is good for your soul!!! Take care!! See you next time!! Safe travels to PA retreat !!!! Good luck on finding the Betsy Ross shirt!! Looking forward to seeing it!! Barbara S. 😊❤❤❤❤
Meeting Jacob must have been so wonderful! He is so talented. I learned about Pinny and Tunny from you and have purchased multiple bags from her which I love! I so enjoy the Flosstubes you ladies do.
So much fun to watch your flosstube. My new favorite saying is, "Shut it down!" Thank you Laura! 😂 Thank you for the encouragement to stitch what you love. ❤
Because of you two lovely ladies, and your affection of samplers and The Attic, my sister and I will be attending The Attic's "Autumn Abundance". This will be our very first event and we are, needless to say, beyond excited. Are there any do's or dont's while navigating The Attic? You both are our inspiration and we really appreciate the time you put forth in explaining the samplers and events you choose. Happy stitching 💚
Shopping like we are immortal! I need to stitch that for my wall! That is how I buy quilting fabric! Love you girls! Keep it going forward and drown out the noise! 💕🧵💕🪡💕
Philadelphia is absolutely wonderful! I'm from near Pittsburgh, have had the good fortune to travel extensively but had never been to Philly. You're going to love it.
LOVE 💗 ❤ ALL THE STORIES ,ALL THE FUN AND ALLLLLLLL THE STITCHING 🧵 …… I LAUGHED SO MUCH 😂😂😂AND ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AND ALLLLLLL THE STACH …. PLEASE ALWAYS BE YOU AND USE THE GOOD CHINA AND SILVERWARE 🍴…. 🎉❤🙏⭕️⭕️🎉💝
OMg!!! I just smile when I watch y’all. The way you interact with each other is just so joyful. Thanks again for all you do for the stitching community ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your stitching with us. I love it so much too! I have one of those gadgets for multiple needles that Laura showed. I use it for appliqué, but what a great idea to use for cross stitch, especially confetti stitching (which I don’t enjoy so much 😉) Any hoo…another great floss tube, and Jacob is the sweetest to give you that sampler and chart it for you! Brenda, your framed pieces are amazing! Happy stitching 🧵
You two made me laugh out loud twice today, making my husband suspect my headache might not have been as bad as I led him to believe!! It is the reality of baby boomers that we frequently find ourselves realizing we are old enough to be parents and ack!! grandparents of coworkers and others with whom we find ourselves having much in common. Wow!! As a Buckeye, I must admit to finding few things better than Script Ohio so Laura, if Brenda does decide to break up the band of your acknowledgement of that truth, you and I can team up and be the Two Serial Starters!! Always look forward to Sunday afternoons with you two, regardless of team colors. Be well and enjoy your trip to Hobby House.
Oh, say! What a great flosstube! You both are such a joy and I appreciate all that you share. Laura - it was so lovely to meet you in person at Jacob-Palooza. What an amazing experience we all had! It would be wonderful to have a stitchy rendezvous with you and Jody on one of your future trips to the Seattle area. I hope I get to meet you someday, too, Brenda! ❤ Hugs from the PNW, Anne-Marie S.
Thank you so much Anne Marie!!!!! We loved the gifts you made for us! I would love to meet up with you too next time I am out there!!!! Will talk to Jody about that! Will be there over Thanksgiving.
I love the story about the Jacob and Laura sampler! I hope it raises lots of money for those in need. I will be going to my first cross stitch retreat (Stitch North) next year and hope it's as fun as Jacobpalooza!
Laura love your sampler. So I got it ordered while I watched the video. Colors are so pretty, I ordered the floss and linen as well. Thank you both for sharing all your beautiful stitching. Enjoy your time away.
Just starting the video, but you two really do bring us all so much joy, and enrich our community and our shared love of needlework. I am exceptionally thankful for you both, and I hope you know how much joy you give us
Not sure what you mean by controversy in the stitching world. I must truly be out of the loop. My thought, however, is what could possibly be controversial about stitching? There is such a variety of beautiful patterns and threads from which to choose, truly something for everyone. What's the deal? Anyway, want you both to know how much I enjoy watching you, hearing your banter, seeing your stitching, hearing about your retreat adventures, and on and on. You are both a light in my stitchy life.
So happy to see you both and all your stitching goodness!! Thank you so much for the lovely shout out!! It means so much to me and I had such a good time stitching like you! I finished the floral motif into a teacup pincushion today too! Thank you again!!
Its always fun to watch you two, I am just getting back to stitching my husband and I moved from California to Oklahoma to be by my family in Jan but my husband passed away at the end of March, but I kept watching you all which was really nice. I love your stitching wish I stitched as well as you all do. I live just a few miles from the Silver Needle so its my favorite place to go I have lots of patterns to work on.
Always such a pleasure to see your videos!! I love your encouraging and positive attitude. I stitch what I love every day and I love that I can love whatever I want! ❤
Couldn't agree with you more Brenda! I just want to enjoy my stitching when I stitch. Too much beauty & relaxation to do it any other way. Thank you for keeping it just about the stitching!
You two always make my day! Another great floss tube with lots of stitchy goodness! Love that the sampler sales will help,out the food bank. Can’t wait til the next video! 🩷🩷
I so needed your cheerful positivity today! So glad you had such a great time at Jacob-Palooza, Laura. I hope to be able to go someday! Brenda, I loved the frames on the two sisters' samplers, it touched my heart that their work will live on together in your home. ❤
Hi Brenda - Hi Laura Love all of your WIPS - Your Stash Goodies - Your Haul - Your Bags - And Anything else I have missed. You are so right - Our Stitching is suppose to be very relaxing - enjoyable - and to see a Picture come alive as you are stitching on your project. I enjoyed watching this Video - I love Karen Combs Videos - she is such a joy to watch. Brenda - I am so glad that Michigan won their game - Hooray for Michigan. Oh Laura - please forgive me 😂 You two fantastic ladies always makes my day whenever I watch your Videos. Your Videos are such a joy to watch. Laura - I am so glad that you got to go to Canada and go to Jacob’s Retreat. I have been to Canada and that was before we had to have Passports to get into Canada. I loved it there. Sometimes I wish I was living there close to Toronto cause their Library is fantastic. I get on their Library Website to see what new books they have and then I write them down. Thank you both for making my Day and for the Laughs. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🙏🧵🪡🧵❤️
Another wonderful FlossTube, so packed with information and stitchy goodness I need to watch it again and take more notes! Thank you so much!! So glad you liked the project bags! 😘
You two are always such a joy to watch. I love seeing your projects - samplers never really catch my eye in a shop, but it's seeing people stitch them on Flosstube that'll get me intrigued. And I love seeing people stitch all sorts of patters, even those I don't tend to stitch myself. That's the fun of Flosstube! On college football - *cries in West Virginia Mountaineers*
You two are a couple of "Spring Chickens"!! I felt a little old when you talked about the gal who will be turning 35. My oldest daughter will be 63...God love her!! I turned 82 this past June, and am grateful for every day that God sees fit to give me!! As they say...age is only a number, but who's counting?!! Enjoy all of those retreats!
Omg your Jane P breathtaking. The BB so pretty. Always enjoy you 2. Thanks as always for inspiring and enabling 😁I try not to listen to the outside noise lol it’s those dang SALs that get me lol
Love all your WIPs and love the friendship you both have❤ I am an Aida stitcher and it brings me so much joy. I have tried lugana and brought lots of anxiety. I have tried 20ct linen and loved it. But the larger linen counts brings much anxiety. Their are no cross stitch police just like there is none in quilting. Everyone’s work is their interpretation of that craft they are working on. Each piece is unique and beautiful. I have had some criticism and just ignored them. Hugs!!!
You both bring such joy and fun into my day! You both stitch such lovely things! Thank you Laura for sharing your trip to Canada with us! It sounded like an amazing time! I loved seeing your finishes and smalls in your shaker basket! Everything is such beautiful eye candy! Thank you both, and have a great few weeks!
I don't know what the negativity is about, I'm clueless. But in everything there is always someone or something going on trying to ruin your joy. Unfortunately that is the nature of this life. But you two are great and I love your videos and havevrewatched them ALL! And I always have Book of Days envy of you guys as I missed the boat this last year. But I pre-ordered 2024! I hope some day I can meet you both at a retreat. ❤❤❤

Oh Brenda I love your shaker container with all those beautiful stitch goodies. So so pretty!!!
Wonderful video!
Lots of projects to search for and start. Thank you
Script Ohio!! Breaks up the Team! Y’all are a hoot!
Had to buy the fresian chart. I was raised in the church of the Nazarene and was involved in many food pantry’s. It’s a rewarding experience but also hard work so I know this purchase is a good thing! Thanks for the opportunity!
I kind of miss the coockoo clock! Thanks for all you showed and expressed.
Kudos for your dedication and commitment to this craft, ladies. Amazing haul! Laura, I was born in Seattle but moved to Bainbridge Island when I was five years old. Beautiful place to live! And happy stitching to you. 🩷🧵🪡
I am both elated and saddened i have now watched each and every episode. I am sad because i have to wait for the next episode. But you have brought me such happiness. Love the two of you.
You both give me so much joy, watching in bed recovering from a sickle cell crisis perfect medicine with my stitching in hand and you two for company😘.Thanks ladies xxxx

Proud Canadian here, thank you Laura for wearing your Canada pull over sweatshirt. Loved that you had a good time at Stitch North - glad all the Canadian girls showed you a great time. Congrats on the Laura's pattern from Jacob.

How can cross stitch be anything but a journey of beauty unfolding in one’s hand!
Thank you Brenda for providing a voice of reason, and then for both of you providing a ‘safe haven’ for an hour and a half so I could just love my stitching and your happy stories. I’ve got enough drama away from my stitching room🙄🤪. Your Flosstubes are so appreciated.
Thank you Susana!!! We love no drama stitching!
Brenda your finish with the flower thread is gorgeous. Love the basket of finishes. Thank you Laura for showing all the stitchy goodness. ❤
I love you girls for many reasons but mostly because you’re so”real”. You just go with the flow on your flosstube. Enjoyable to watch you. I always learn something. Thank you and God bless you.
Thanks for sharing EVERYTHING! So much inspiration! I’m going to have to watch again and take notes!
Lovely show ladies....all those goodies....WOW....so much to see and drool over. LOVE your hoodie Laura.....hope you brought one for Brenda...lol.
Jacob Palooza sounds like fun.
Love all of your finishes, projects, & haul.
Marilyn
So fun! How y’all remember everybody’s name is remarkable! Good job!
Brenda, your reel on IG was so beautiful and inspirational and made me so happy just looking at it...good for you for blocking out the noise. I will never understand people.

Thank you so much Jan!!!!!!!

Thank you for another wonderful visit. Brenda, your finishes are so beautiful. Take care, and happy stitching, Arleen

Hi Brenda and Laura, you have just moved up the ladder of one of my favorites Brenda. Keeping your head above the noise. ❤
Thank you Rose!
Meeting Jacob must have been so wonderful! He is so talented. I learned about Pinny and Tunny from you and have purchased multiple bags from her which I love! I so enjoy the Flosstubes you ladies do.
Enjoy you ladies so much. Stitching and channels like yours are JOY! 😊
Thank you so much Becky!1
So much fun to watch your flosstube. My new favorite saying is, "Shut it down!" Thank you Laura! 😂
Thank you for the encouragement to stitch what you love. ❤
Thank you!!!!!! Now....go shut it down for the day!!!
I truly love watching you two. You make me laugh. And have a lot of eye candy. Thank you for sharing ❣️
Because of you two lovely ladies, and your affection of samplers and The Attic, my sister and I will be attending The Attic's "Autumn Abundance". This will be our very first event and we are, needless to say, beyond excited. Are there any do's or dont's while navigating The Attic? You both are our inspiration and we really appreciate the time you put forth in explaining the samplers and events you choose. Happy stitching 💚
Shopping like we are immortal! I need to stitch that for my wall! That is how I buy quilting fabric! Love you girls! Keep it going forward and drown out the noise! 💕🧵💕🪡💕
Philadelphia is absolutely wonderful! I'm from near Pittsburgh, have had the good fortune to travel extensively but had never been to Philly. You're going to love it.
LOVE 💗 ❤ ALL THE STORIES ,ALL THE FUN AND ALLLLLLLL THE STITCHING 🧵 …… I LAUGHED SO MUCH 😂😂😂AND ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AND ALLLLLLL THE STACH …. PLEASE ALWAYS BE YOU AND USE THE GOOD CHINA AND SILVERWARE 🍴…. 🎉❤🙏⭕️⭕️🎉💝
OMg!!! I just smile when I watch y’all. The way you interact with each other is just so joyful. Thanks again for all you do for the stitching community ❤❤❤
Thank you so very much Cathy!
I don't cross stitch but I quilt. I love watching those who do, but I feel since I don't spend money on your passion I can spend more on mine!
We hear you Carla!!!!! Get all the quilting fabric and supplies!
Thank you for sharing your stitching with us. I love it so much too! I have one of those gadgets for multiple needles that Laura showed. I use it for appliqué, but what a great idea to use for cross stitch, especially confetti stitching (which I don’t enjoy so much 😉) Any hoo…another great floss tube, and Jacob is the sweetest to give you that sampler and chart it for you! Brenda, your framed pieces are amazing! Happy stitching 🧵
You two made me laugh out loud twice today, making my husband suspect my headache might not have been as bad as I led him to believe!! It is the reality of baby boomers that we frequently find ourselves realizing we are old enough to be parents and ack!! grandparents of coworkers and others with whom we find ourselves having much in common. Wow!! As a Buckeye, I must admit to finding few things better than Script Ohio so Laura, if Brenda does decide to break up the band of your acknowledgement of that truth, you and I can team up and be the Two Serial Starters!! Always look forward to Sunday afternoons with you two, regardless of team colors. Be well and enjoy your trip to Hobby House.
Thank you so much Lori! It is very strange to be the oldest in a crowd these days......But we are lucky we grew up when we did!
Oh, say! What a great flosstube! You both are such a joy and I appreciate all that you share. Laura - it was so lovely to meet you in person at Jacob-Palooza. What an amazing experience we all had! It would be wonderful to have a stitchy rendezvous with you and Jody on one of your future trips to the Seattle area. I hope I get to meet you someday, too, Brenda! ❤ Hugs from the PNW, Anne-Marie S.
Thank you so much Anne Marie!!!!! We loved the gifts you made for us! I would love to meet up with you too next time I am out there!!!! Will talk to Jody about that! Will be there over Thanksgiving.
Enjoy, thank you!😊
Another great video! Thanks for sharing your joy. Safe travels. 😊
I love the story about the Jacob and Laura sampler! I hope it raises lots of money for those in need. I will be going to my first cross stitch retreat (Stitch North) next year and hope it's as fun as Jacobpalooza!
Thank you Kathy!!! Stitch North is going to be just as fun!!!!!! I know people who go and they love it!!!
Great episode. I loved all of it. Thank you for sharing with us.
Laura love your sampler. So I got it ordered while I watched the video. Colors are so pretty, I ordered the floss and linen as well. Thank you both for sharing all your beautiful stitching. Enjoy your time away.
Just starting the video, but you two really do bring us all so much joy, and enrich our community and our shared love of needlework. I am exceptionally thankful for you both, and I hope you know how much joy you give us
Katie, I totally agree!
Not sure what you mean by controversy in the stitching world. I must truly be out of the loop. My thought, however, is what could possibly be controversial about stitching? There is such a variety of beautiful patterns and threads from which to choose, truly something for everyone. What's the deal? Anyway, want you both to know how much I enjoy watching you, hearing your banter, seeing your stitching, hearing about your retreat adventures, and on and on. You are both a light in my stitchy life.
So happy to see you both and all your stitching goodness!! Thank you so much for the lovely shout out!! It means so much to me and I had such a good time stitching like you! I finished the floral motif into a teacup pincushion today too! Thank you again!!
LOVE that quote Brenda! Thank you for sharing
I wrote that quote down. Thanks
Its always fun to watch you two, I am just getting back to stitching my husband and I moved from California to Oklahoma to be by my family in Jan but my husband passed away at the end of March, but I kept watching you all which was really nice. I love your stitching wish I stitched as well as you all do. I live just a few miles from the Silver Needle so its my favorite place to go I have lots of patterns to work on.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss.
Thankful I have not seen the hate. There is enough in the world, I don't want it in my safe space.
Thank you ladies for sharing your joy.
Always such a pleasure to see your videos!! I love your encouraging and positive attitude. I stitch what I love every day and I love that I can love whatever I want! ❤
Thank you Emily!!!!!!! Happy Stitching!
You two are definitely a safe haven plus fantastic enablers of all cross stitch. Enjoy your time and stitch what you love.
Thank you Mary!!!
Couldn't agree with you more Brenda! I just want to enjoy my stitching when I stitch. Too much beauty & relaxation to do it any other way. Thank you for keeping it just about the stitching!
This was sooooo silly and fun! Thank you both for bringing the JOY!❤😂😊
Thank you Kris!!!!
You two always make my day! Another great floss tube with lots of stitchy goodness! Love that the sampler sales will help,out the food bank. Can’t wait til the next video! 🩷🩷
I so needed your cheerful positivity today! So glad you had such a great time at Jacob-Palooza, Laura. I hope to be able to go someday! Brenda, I loved the frames on the two sisters' samplers, it touched my heart that their work will live on together in your home. ❤
I can't believe I have a chart before you! Lol!!! I am actually stitching out of it while watching you!!
Hail, Hail to Michigan! 💙💛
Thank you for another fantastic video. GO BLUE!
Hi Brenda - Hi Laura
Love all of your WIPS - Your Stash Goodies - Your Haul - Your Bags - And Anything else I have missed.
You are so right - Our Stitching is suppose to be very relaxing - enjoyable - and to see a Picture come alive as you are stitching on your project.
I enjoyed watching this Video -
I love Karen Combs Videos - she is such a joy to watch.
Brenda - I am so glad that Michigan won their game - Hooray for Michigan. Oh Laura - please forgive me 😂
You two fantastic ladies always makes my day whenever I watch your Videos. Your Videos are such a joy to watch.
Laura - I am so glad that you got to go to Canada and go to Jacob’s Retreat. I have been to Canada and that was before we had to have Passports to get into Canada. I loved it there. Sometimes I wish I was living there close to Toronto cause their Library is fantastic. I get on their Library Website to see what new books they have and then I write them down.
Thank you both for making my Day and for the Laughs.
Take Care & Happy Stitching
❤️🤗🙏🧵🪡🧵❤️
Another wonderful FlossTube, so packed with information and stitchy goodness I need to watch it again and take more notes! Thank you so much!!
So glad you liked the project bags! 😘
Thank you Karen for the beautiful project bags and for being your wonderful self!!! Hugs!
LAURA!!!! that sampler is phenomenal ❤❤❤ ordered it all!!!
You two are always such a joy to watch. I love seeing your projects - samplers never really catch my eye in a shop, but it's seeing people stitch them on Flosstube that'll get me intrigued. And I love seeing people stitch all sorts of patters, even those I don't tend to stitch myself. That's the fun of Flosstube! On college football - *cries in West Virginia Mountaineers*
You two are a couple of "Spring Chickens"!! I felt a little old when you talked about the gal who will be turning 35. My oldest daughter will be 63...God love her!! I turned 82 this past June, and am grateful for every day that God sees fit to give me!! As they say...age is only a number, but who's counting?!! Enjoy all of those retreats!
Omg your Jane P breathtaking. The BB so pretty. Always enjoy you 2. Thanks as always for inspiring and enabling 😁I try not to listen to the outside noise lol it’s those dang SALs that get me lol
Love all your WIPs and love the friendship you both have❤ I am an Aida stitcher and it brings me so much joy. I have tried lugana and brought lots of anxiety. I have tried 20ct linen and loved it. But the larger linen counts brings much anxiety. Their are no cross stitch police just like there is none in quilting. Everyone’s work is their interpretation of that craft they are working on. Each piece is unique and beautiful. I have had some criticism and just ignored them. Hugs!!!
Thank you both for some needed ‘safe haven’ time. Enjoy your next 3 weeks- you’ll be missed.
Thank you so much!!!
You both bring such joy and fun into my day! You both stitch such lovely things! Thank you Laura for sharing your trip to Canada with us! It sounded like an amazing time! I loved seeing your finishes and smalls in your shaker basket! Everything is such beautiful eye candy! Thank you both, and have a great few weeks!
I don't know what the negativity is about, I'm clueless. But in everything there is always someone or something going on trying to ruin your joy. Unfortunately that is the nature of this life. But you two are great and I love your videos and havevrewatched them ALL! And I always have Book of Days envy of you guys as I missed the boat this last year. But I pre-ordered 2024! I hope some day I can meet you both at a retreat. ❤❤❤
me either and I follow a lot of groups.
Just found your channel love it….
Jane Parson - the grass looks likes rolling hills to me. So calming to look at.
Loved seeing you today! Happy stitching!!❤
Brenda, your sampler is gorgeous! I can’t wait to see it framed!
