So fun! 😂😂 I learned a lot: I will now call strawberry pincushions #stitchergrenades. And I too have an obsession with #weirdoadamandeves. I also learned about the following #serialstarterlaws that I think someone should chart in a sampler!! -everyone needs a hank of silk -buy all the blackbird books -stash gives you choices -you can’t go wrong with red -you need more than one project bag -find your stitching tribe -stalkers can become your friend 💜💜 #loveitbuyitstitchit Can’t wait for the next one ladies!!
Laura!! This is such a great comment!!! Thank you for taking the time to sum up all of our rules/laws!!!! We sure appreciate your attention to our lessons!!! Hope you have a great weekend!
Because of the two of you , l have come back to cross stitching ! Thank You , Thank You l am so happy to be back to something l love so much . The two of you are absolutely amazing ! Keep p the great work of bring more of us back to stitching . Thank You for sharing your wonderful needlework with all of us .
Going back and watching your previous flosstubes. Love them! The two of you and your relationship with each other is so genuine. How lucky am I that I found your flosstubes and always look forward to spending time with you ❤️
Yesterday I needed some positivity and I thought to myself, what can I watch to find some happiness? I watched your first Flosstube. Wow! Y'all have been way cool from the beginning. I only started stitching in Oct 2021 so watching old Flosstubes can be new to me. Thanks for being fun and bringing me some laughter, even it's from a few years ago. 😃
It was Sunday and I really needed to spend a little time listening to you both so I went all the way back to the one that started it all. Thank you! Now after a little stitching time I can handle the rest of the day - which includes driving to town in the blowing snow to pick up my daughter from work. Brrr. Hope you are both enjoying some stitchy time today, take care.
I know this is three years old, but I’m waaaay behind on the whole FlossTube thing. Since I finally figured out what it’s all about and fell down the rabbit hole this week, I now have a million videos to watch. You two are so charming and funny. I’m totally #heppedup on you. Since one of The Laws is to start things, and today is the first day of March Madness, it seems appropriate to make it my own kind of MM. Especially since I don’t care for basketball much. (F1 fan all the way! 😄) I think I will start one project a day until MM is over (or until I declare my own personal MM is over.) Thanks for the entertaining enablement! Off to watch the rest!
I have watched every one of your videos; when I first discovered your channel you had about 10 or so videos, and I immediately went back to the beginning to see everything you had done. Tonight TH-cam suggested that I might want to watch this one again, and I said, "Yes, yes I would like to do that!" So fun - you folks have not changed at all. I had forgotten some of the laws, but now realize that I should be on the lookout for a hank of silk. Thanks for all of the videos, the inspiration and fun over the past few years!
I am crying I am so overjoyed! I have long hoped both of you would decide to do Flosstube videos but the 2 of you together is more than I could have dreamed of!!! Love you both! Please, please do videos. Do them often. AND make them loooooong. I'll never get enough!!! That was E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G!!!!
I just watched this one for the first time and learned today is your fifth Flosstube anniversary! Happy Anniversary! Thank you for making us laugh and sharing your joy! Much love! 🎉💕
OMG to go back to the beginning! Love it, Buy it, Stitch it!! Some points made that can always be reviewed. 1) buy it and have in stash because someday you will want it! 2) lots of project bags required. 3) go to retreats retreats retreats, or find someone to stitch with! ❤❤❤
Hi Brenda and Laura. I just came across your First Flosstube tonight! I have been watching you since March 2021 and enjoy my Sunday morning coffee watching you laugh and banter and that is still the same today as it was from day one ! Thanks for sharing ! 😁 Cheers Marilyn 👋 👩🏻🦰🇨🇦
I don’t even know where to begin! I begged Carol The Saltbox Stitcher to get you to do FlossTube Brenda and here you are! Prayer answered!!! I fan girl your Instagram Brenda and your stitching just leaves me speechless! We have never met but in my head I was like I bet she is the sweetest person. AND YOU ARE! OMG! You are exactly what I imagined! What a joy and a blessing you are to this community. Now Laura until this video I didn’t know of you but oh girl! You got moxie! I love you! You two are the perfect combination of sweet and sassy! That’s right Laura Brenda is the sweet one🤣🤣🤣🤣 You two are AWESOME! Please keep these videos coming! I love your message! So upbeat and positive!
What a wonderful video filled with all the good things - Accomplished Stitchers, very accomplished and top rung friends in the industry and within the hobby, the best finisher in the country that has unique and wonderful ideas, mountains of stash, collections by the dozen, rules to follow that makes the hobby fun and exciting and beautiful tastes. So very lucky how far and wide you have traveled to all the best venues, as well. My goodness, what is there not to like? Congratulations on a very successful stitching life and what an entertaining duo! WELCOME!
THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH VONNA!!! Your words of encouragement mean so much to us! We're having fun sharing our obsessions/passion with like-minded people.
Good morning girls. Going back to enjoy your videos all over again. 💪🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💋💋💋. You two are the talk around town. Your flosstube is phenomenal! 💕 💕 💕. I just had a thought as Brenda showed her progress of Mary Good. I sure wish I could see Mary Good in heaven at this very moment as she watches us mortals go Gaga over her sampler. I don’t imagine she thought much of her work besides the fact that she had done her best. I’d bet a million that she thought two or three generations beyond the grave that she would be long forgotten. I’m sure most of us regular people don’t think that suddenly 150+ years after we made something that it will resurface and start the mortals saying our name again with such reverence. Hard to believe. Keep the videos coming. Much love and hugs from 🇨🇦
Oh my stars!!! I’ve watched y’all for about 8 months now and today ran across your interview with Becca!! That was wonderful so I decided to binge watch y’all from the beginning since I can’t sleep! I love all the “rules”. Happy stitching! On to #2! Love and blessings, Vanessa
When I saw you posted a video (I’ve thought to myself so many times, I wish Brenda and friends would make videos) best day ever!! But then to be mentioned, I’m so humbled! I love you girls! I can’t tell you how many charts I’ve bought because of you Brenda! You’re such an inspiration! Like Laura, I’ve never been drawn to Adam and Eve samplers and I never thought I could stitch on 40 count. Now I’m obsessed! I love Adam and Eve and all samplers and I just started my first 40 count project! And I can actually do it! Yay! Love your video, energy, and that wall of floss! Keep those awesome videos coming! ❤️
Thanks so much for your kind words Kristie!!!!!!!! I can't wait until Christmas comes closer so I can show that beautiful Christmas bag you made. We love your bags so much!!! I swoon whenever I see pictures of them on IG and it is hard not to buy each and every one of them!!! So glad you and I are both trying A&E samplers and 40 count. I remember when I thought I would never do either of those things!!!!! Hope you have a good weekend!
Welcome to Flosstube!!! I'm not on Instagram much, but on those rare occasions that I am, I always think "I really with this Brenda Sampler Stitcher would do a flosstube!" Yay! Every once in awhile, a channel comes along that takes the Flosstube community by storm, and I am predicting yours will be one of them!!!
Thank you so much for your kind comments!!!!! We really appreciate them!!!! I (Laura) have been watching your videos since you were in Guam. Really love your stitching, framing and your daughters' work. One time I remember watching little one talk about her newfound love of stitching and it made me cry. It was so so sweet! Hugs!
Just discovered you two wonderful ladies this morning on Instagram! Thank you for all the wonderful tips. It's a cool damp day in southern Alabama so I will be binge watching your videos as I cross stitch today. Look forward to many more episodes from you both! Happy stitching!
I just found you lovely ladies and now I am binge watching all your flosstubes , you are so enjoyable to listen to (and I don't even cross stitch, but i might now try ) I keep sheep , spin and weave but I think I need a sampler or two in my life
I watched your #4 flosstube now I'm serial watching you. If I were to grow up I want to be you guys! Because of you I broke my rule of NOT buying more patterns, I was trying to stitch what I had in my stash. Hah I'm over that!
I recently subscribed to your channel and after watching the 2 most recent videos decided to go back to the beginning and watch them all. I just finished the school term yesterday and will have more time to stitch and watch Flosstube over my summer break. Thank you for sharing your love of stitching and inspiring others. 🙋🏽♀️
I have heard so much about you from other floss tube hosts I had to tune in today. Of course I had to start with the first episode. It was like stitching with old friends. I live in a rural small town with no needlework shop nearby. I don't know anyone who cross stitches. Discovering you was like forming a stitching group. Thank you!
Well, that is so very nice of you Mitzi!!! Do tell, if you are not a stitcher yet, how did you find us? Are you thinking of starting to stitch? Hope so! It is the best! Hugs to you!!!
Oh ladies! I am hyperventilating! I must watch it again! Thank you for sharing your passion with us. Look at the threads on that wall! LOOK AT IT! Bless you both! Xx
I subscribed before I even watched the video!.....follow you on Instagram!....love your work.....just a wonderful first video.....I look forward to many more..... Congratulations ladies!....
Welcome, friends!!! ♥️💜 So very excited to see you both with your own channel!!! Brenda, your room on live video... swoon!!! Both of your Sampler charts are gorgeous!!! Absolutely love the previous finishes. Laura, you are SO RIGHT about the Blackbird books. I think everyone needs a hank!!! 😄 (Work is a four-letter word.) What a fun first video... I’m already anticipating the next “visit” with you!!! 💖 Donna Rae
Thank you so much for your lovely comments Donna Rae!!!!!! You know we both adore you!!! We are plotting our next video....should be soon(ish). Hope all is okay with you as I type this that darn hurricane may be in your next of the woods. Hugs!
Two of my absolute favorite Instagramers, now on Flosstube ... life is sweet! You two are naturals and it's like we were all sitting around the table chatting. See you next time!
😂😂😂You need stash!! I’ve been stitching samplers and other accoutrements since 1987! One cannot be a stitcher without stash! Can I be friends with both of you?! Lately I’ve been knitting, but listening to you vlog reminds me of attending EGA meetings, sharing, needing and wanting! Wonderful memories!
Nancy!!! I bet you have amazing stash of sampler charts since you have been working on them since 1987!!!! I think you should knit and stitch!!!! Let us know what happens!!!
Love love your videos. So fun also and your laws. We didn’t know how much we needed those laws. I binge watch over and over never gets old. Thank you for you time work and effort to bring these videos to the world of flosstube
A BFF and I just started stitching together at set days!!! So we are committed to day and time aand to each other, and our stitching! As my friend said, "I think I found our kindred spirits!" Looking forward tofollowing you both! Sorry I bleed Green!!!! ND and MSU!
You guys are sew fun! I’m from Tasmania, Australia and just back into cross stitch after years of quilting. I love your banter and your samplers are stunning! And that thread wall Holy OMG!! 🤭🤣😂
You two are naturals!!!! Fabulous first video!!!! So much great information, gorgeous stitching and wonderful haul!!!! I am positive your channel will be in the top 10 of floss tube videos. I am following the law and I didn't even know it. I have Sampling and Memories on my floss rings too!!!! I love your motto and I look forward to your next video and I hope it will be soon. Happy stitching, Lynn
Thanks for leaving such a lovely comment Lynn!!! I am glad you are following the laws! Very important! See you Saturday at IN. Glad we can finally meet in Illinois!!!
What a sweet comment Tess!!!!! We plan on an update real soon. In the meantime, I want you to sleep!!!! That is my second favorite thing after stitching. We want you well rested!!!
Hi Ladies! Welcome to Flosstube! What a wonderful first video! I am an instant subscriber! You taught me that I need a Samplings of Memories fob on my thread ring. I didn't know that was a thing. LOL! Again, welcome ladies. I look forward to video #2.
Brenda, I have enjoyed following you on Instagram for a while, so it is great to see you start making videos. Laura, it is great to meet you. I love seeing everything that you shared. Thanks for such a great video!
Pam and Steph!!!!!!! Thanks so much!!!! You gals keep me company every week and I appreciate it so much!!!! So glad to know that we can get you hepped up!!!! Sending you lots of love!!! Laura
AWESOME FIRST VIDEO! I went back to the beginning to watch you. Floss envy here. I hope to meet you someday. Love all your rules. I wrote a few things down Hank being one of them, husband asked “who’s Hank”. 😂 😂 😂
Woo Hoo!! Two of my favorites in one place. Buy it, love it, stitch it ... with you two enablers, I will be buying a lot!! Can't wait for a closer look at your stitchy spot Brenda. I'm having thread envy here! Hope to see you in Amana in October.
Lori!!! Thanks for leaving such a lovely comment!!! I wish we were going to Iowa in October.....stupid jobs!!!!! I know you will have fun!!! Can't wait to see what the project is!
Golden hair stitcher Susan We are so so so glad to hear from you!!!!! When we were at summer school there were several of us who missed you on IG and we all hoped you were doing well!!!! Maybe you could come back to IG. I know you would be welcomed back with open arms!!!!!!!! Sending you all love!!!! Laura
So cute!!! Enjoyed your first video!!! Could you please move the camera 📷 closer and lower so your stitching 🧵 can be seen close up? Your stitching is so beautiful 😍 I’d love to see it close up!!! Really happy 😊 to have found you. You are inspiring and happy!!!
Well colour me happy! I could barely contain myself when I saw this was available. I had to watch it twice because I was following your motto of love it, buy it, stitch it. Thank you so much for doing this and I can’t wait until the next one. xxjenny
Jenny!!!!! Can you believe that Brenda and I did this!!?? We just jumped in feet first and it was really rather fun. Thanks for taking time to leave a comment. Hope all is well up there in Nova Scotia. Let's start the countdown clock for April and Dyeing to Stitch retreat!!! love you!
You two are a JOY! It's no wonder the ENTIRETY of Flosstube is freaking out! I loved watching you two. I need to write down your rules and LIVE BY THEM.
So so happy to see you both doing FlossTube !!!! You are both such an inspiration to so many stitchers and loved by all!! Laura I love your Esther Charlton and those DMC! 😍 Looking forward to more videos by you two!!
Even though I have watched you from the beginning....you are so binge worthy on a grey day! Love all the stitchery and new Instagram connections I have made! My favorite flosstube yet! Laura when you pop that Tab soda....I can almost taste it...😖 (was my mother’s favorite).
That is so kind of you to say Lynn!!!! Thank you!!! Glad you have made some new and wonderful connections!!!!! and Tab rules!!! Your Mom knew what she was doing!! Hugs!!!
Greetings from Belgium! 😊 Just found your last episode on flosstube wich I sincerely enjoyed and going back to the start of your journey 🙂 Thank you for keeping me company during my stitching time 😍
So now my jaws hurt from all the smiling I did watching you two! You both did great, and I felt like I was sitting with you getting all hepped up! Your passion is infectious...love it! Forget work and do another stat!
Great first video. Love “the rules”. I met you at the Dyeing to Stitch retreat. I did laugh out loud many times during your video. Look forward to many more. Great finishes. Can’t wait for your next video.
As if you two have not already enabled me enough.....you go and up and do a FlossTube! I've written every single thing down and now I've extended my stash another 15 years. You two are so lovely to watch. Now that Pat is retiring she needs to do one, too! One of these days I want to hang out with your little group of friends. YAY! Excited to hear more recordings. (Oh and I am swooning at all those threads in the background) xoxoxo
Back when I was stitching, I was watching knitting podcasts. Now I'm knitting and watching floss tube podcasts. Figures. lol! I love following you all on instagram, and am happy you have started a podcast!
Thanks Margaret!!!! I hope that someday you feel like stitching again...although your knitting is so beautiful that I wouldn't think it a bad thing if you just kept knitting only. Thanks for leaving a comment!
madaketmom thanks so much!!! Yes,Brenda’s wall of thread is 30 years in the making and absolutely drool worthy!!!!!!! I wonder what you looked up? This was the tip of the iceberg!!!
Brenda and the Serial Starter pretty much every sampler, I have been trying to resist Mary Good 🙄 and that gorgeous French General fabric. Cannot wait for your next episode! I am flamefingers on Instagram
Girls I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoyed your first floss tube! It was so inspiring and the love for stitching was all the way through this! I write down what I must do and must buy! Gotta say I’ve used hanks for years and my only regret is not buying more when they were $11! No lie! Anyway you put a big smile on my face and made me proud to be a member of this universal sampler society, Keep making videos and I hope to see you both soon,❤️
Angel!!!! Thanks for your very kind words!!! I want some $11 hanks!!! Although paying $25 isn't really bad when you consider how much you get right? You always inspire us with your beautiful samplers!!! Maybe you and Donna Wynn should do a video???
I follow you both on Instgram, so I was happy to see that you started a floss tube channel. I really enjoyed watching your first one. You are both so upbeat! I am not a reproduction sampler stitcher and I rarely stitch on a count higher than 32, but I enjoy watching Carol on Saltbox Stitcher so I know I will enjoy you both. I live just a few miles from The Attic Needlework and almost signed up for Summer School this year, but family commitments took priority. Perhaps someday I will meet you at a retreat. Thanks ladies!
Thanks so much for your kind words Nan!!!! We are going back to the attic in November for the BBD retreat! Maybe we will see you there? I know I (Laura) follow you on IG so that is good. 32 count is super fabulous and always will be!!!
So fun! 😂😂 I learned a lot: I will now call strawberry pincushions #stitchergrenades. And I too have an obsession with #weirdoadamandeves. I also learned about the following #serialstarterlaws that I think someone should chart in a sampler!!
-everyone needs a hank of silk
-buy all the blackbird books
-stash gives you choices
-you can’t go wrong with red
-you need more than one project bag
-find your stitching tribe
-stalkers can become your friend
💜💜
#loveitbuyitstitchit
Can’t wait for the next one ladies!!
Laura!! This is such a great comment!!! Thank you for taking the time to sum up all of our rules/laws!!!! We sure appreciate your attention to our lessons!!! Hope you have a great weekend!
Brenda and the Serial Starter Oh you ladies are a hoot! I really did take notes as I giggled my way through your first flosstube.
Serial starter laws would be a fun chart
Hey, I decided to rewatch your videos today from a year ago. I’m really glad I did! There’s so much good information in here!😍
Flash forward 4 years... you guys are so much fun! Had to go back and watch your first flosstube. Loved it, love you! Stitch on ladies! GO BLUE!
Because of the two of you , l have come back to cross stitching ! Thank You , Thank You l am so happy to be back to something l love so much . The two of you are absolutely amazing ! Keep p the great work of bring more of us back to stitching . Thank You for sharing your wonderful needlework with all of us .
Going back and watching your previous flosstubes. Love them! The two of you and your relationship with each other is so genuine. How lucky am I that I found your flosstubes and always look forward to spending time with you ❤️
Yesterday I needed some positivity and I thought to myself, what can I watch to find some happiness? I watched your first Flosstube. Wow! Y'all have been way cool from the beginning. I only started stitching in Oct 2021 so watching old Flosstubes can be new to me. Thanks for being fun and bringing me some laughter, even it's from a few years ago. 😃
It was Sunday and I really needed to spend a little time listening to you both so I went all the way back to the one that started it all. Thank you! Now after a little stitching time I can handle the rest of the day - which includes driving to town in the blowing snow to pick up my daughter from work. Brrr. Hope you are both enjoying some stitchy time today, take care.
I know this is three years old, but I’m waaaay behind on the whole FlossTube thing. Since I finally figured out what it’s all about and fell down the rabbit hole this week, I now have a million videos to watch. You two are so charming and funny. I’m totally #heppedup on you. Since one of The Laws is to start things, and today is the first day of March Madness, it seems appropriate to make it my own kind of MM. Especially since I don’t care for basketball much. (F1 fan all the way! 😄) I think I will start one project a day until MM is over (or until I declare my own personal MM is over.) Thanks for the entertaining enablement! Off to watch the rest!
I have watched every one of your videos; when I first discovered your channel you had about 10 or so videos, and I immediately went back to the beginning to see everything you had done. Tonight TH-cam suggested that I might want to watch this one again, and I said, "Yes, yes I would like to do that!" So fun - you folks have not changed at all. I had forgotten some of the laws, but now realize that I should be on the lookout for a hank of silk. Thanks for all of the videos, the inspiration and fun over the past few years!
I am crying I am so overjoyed! I have long hoped both of you would decide to do Flosstube videos but the 2 of you together is more than I could have dreamed of!!! Love you both! Please, please do videos. Do them often. AND make them loooooong. I'll never get enough!!! That was E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G!!!!
Thank you so much for that rave review Michelle!!!!!! You can't know how much it means to us! We hope to do another video ASAP!!!!!!!
I just watched this one for the first time and learned today is your fifth Flosstube anniversary! Happy Anniversary! Thank you for making us laugh and sharing your joy! Much love! 🎉💕
OMG to go back to the beginning! Love it, Buy it, Stitch it!! Some points made that can always be reviewed. 1) buy it and have in stash because someday you will want it! 2) lots of project bags required. 3) go to retreats retreats retreats, or find someone to stitch with! ❤❤❤
Hi Brenda and Laura. I just came across your First Flosstube tonight! I have been watching you since March 2021 and enjoy my Sunday morning coffee watching you laugh and banter and that is still the same today as it was from day one ! Thanks for sharing ! 😁 Cheers Marilyn 👋 👩🏻🦰🇨🇦
So glad you were recommended to me! God bless you! ❣️❣️❣️❣️😇😇😇😇
You are WONDERFUL 😍!!
Great 1st video, love it all!!
❤️Deb&Liz
Thank you so much Deb and Liz!!!!! We both love watching your videos so thank you for leaving such a nice comment!!
I don’t even know where to begin! I begged Carol The Saltbox Stitcher to get you to do FlossTube Brenda and here you are! Prayer answered!!! I fan girl your Instagram Brenda and your stitching just leaves me speechless! We have never met but in my head I was like I bet she is the sweetest person. AND YOU ARE! OMG! You are exactly what I imagined! What a joy and a blessing you are to this community. Now Laura until this video I didn’t know of you but oh girl! You got moxie! I love you! You two are the perfect combination of sweet and sassy! That’s right Laura Brenda is the sweet one🤣🤣🤣🤣
You two are AWESOME! Please keep these videos coming! I love your message! So upbeat and positive!
You guys are naturals. 😊🌸

Love love LOVE it!!!❤️💕⭐️❤️💕⭐️
Thanks Heather!

Thanks Becky!! You made a leap of faith that is for sure! It turns out that making the video was lots of fun! Another one soon....
A wonderful first video! So glad I found you ladies. 👏🏻💕👍🏻
Welcome, friends!!! ♥️💜 So very excited to see you both with your own channel!!! Brenda, your room on live video... swoon!!! Both of your Sampler charts are gorgeous!!! Absolutely love the previous finishes. Laura, you are SO RIGHT about the Blackbird books. I think everyone needs a hank!!! 😄 (Work is a four-letter word.) What a fun first video...

Really enjoyed your video and already looking forward to the next one!
Thanks so much Misty!!!!!! We hope to do another one relatively soon. It was way more fun that I thought it would be!
Oh my goodness Laura! That antique frame!!! wOw! BRENDA! Your antique framed up is AWESOME!
Thanks so much Vickie!!!!! Those antique frames and vintage samplers are just the best right??
Two of my absolute favorite Instagramers, now on Flosstube ... life is sweet! You two are naturals and it's like we were all sitting around the table chatting. See you next time!
Thank you so so much for such a lovely comment!!!!! I wish we were all sitting around a table chatting!!!
😂😂😂You need stash!! I’ve been stitching samplers and other accoutrements since 1987! One cannot be a stitcher without stash! Can I be friends with both of you?! Lately I’ve been knitting, but listening to you vlog reminds me of attending EGA meetings, sharing, needing and wanting! Wonderful memories!
Nancy!!! I bet you have amazing stash of sampler charts since you have been working on them since 1987!!!! I think you should knit and stitch!!!! Let us know what happens!!!
Love you guys great first video 😊
Thank you so much for leaving such a nice comment!
You two are a hoot!! Loved your video! Hurray back soon...

Hi Ladies! Welcome to Flosstube! What a wonderful first video! I am an instant subscriber! You taught me that I need a Samplings of Memories fob on my thread ring. I didn't know that was a thing. LOL! Again, welcome ladies. I look forward to video #2.

OMGosh what a great floss tube this was….and Brenda your t-shirt was wonderful I was born and raised in San Francisco…wonderful city to grow up in…..
Love it, enjoy it, watch it! My motto for your floss tube. Wonderful, my luck to find you two.
Not feeling well and decided to start watching your videos from the first one. Ladies I love you from day one.
Well colour me happy! I could barely contain myself when I saw this was available. I had to watch it twice because I was following your motto of love it, buy it, stitch it. Thank you so much for doing this and I can’t wait until the next one. xxjenny
Jenny!!!!! Can you believe that Brenda and I did this!!?? We just jumped in feet first and it was really rather fun. Thanks for taking time to leave a comment. Hope all is well up there in Nova Scotia. Let's start the countdown clock for April and Dyeing to Stitch retreat!!! love you!
Wonderful first video!! I was laughing right along with you (and drooling over that wall of floss!)
Thanks so much Helen! Glad you were laughing (and drooling)!!!

Even though I have watched you from the beginning....you are so binge worthy on a grey day! Love all the stitchery and new Instagram connections I have made! My favorite flosstube yet! Laura when you pop that Tab soda....I can almost taste it...😖 (was my mother’s favorite).
That is so kind of you to say Lynn!!!! Thank you!!! Glad you have made some new and wonderful connections!!!!! and Tab rules!!! Your Mom knew what she was doing!! Hugs!!!
I just heard about you two! Awesome video. Love all the things! Can't wait to see more.

Greetings from Belgium! 😊 Just found your last episode on flosstube wich I sincerely enjoyed and going back to the start of your journey 🙂 Thank you for keeping me company during my stitching time 😍
You were great!!! Can’t wait for the next video!
Thanks so much Linda!! We really appreciate your kind words.
You two are a great pair!! I'm new to Flosstube and I'm wondering how can I catch up!?
I'll be back ❣️🧵
So glad to see you in TH-cam. Loved the first video. I know you will inspire me.
Thanks so much Edna!!!

So now my jaws hurt from all the smiling I did watching you two! You both did great, and I felt like I was sitting with you getting all hepped up! Your passion is infectious...love it! Forget work and do another stat!
Tanya!!! Thanks for your lovely comment...we will have to do one at your house next summer!!!!! It will be a 3 hour video!!! Love you!
Great first video. Love “the rules”. I met you at the Dyeing to Stitch retreat. I did laugh out loud many times during your video. Look forward to many more. Great finishes. Can’t wait for your next video.
Thanks for such a sweet comment Wendy!!! Did we meet this year or in a past year? I bet if I saw your face I would know you right away!
You guys are naturals! What a great first video! Can't wait for the next installment!
Thanks so much Cindy! We hope to do another video in the near future!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 can't wait!
Excellent first video ladies! I've been binge watching out of order, lol.
As if you two have not already enabled me enough.....you go and up and do a FlossTube! I've written every single thing down and now I've extended my stash another 15 years. You two are so lovely to watch. Now that Pat is retiring she needs to do one, too! One of these days I want to hang out with your little group of friends. YAY! Excited to hear more recordings. (Oh and I am swooning at all those threads in the background) xoxoxo
Thanks so much for your comment! I hope that you can come up here and stitch with our little group sometime!!!
Back when I was stitching, I was watching knitting podcasts. Now I'm knitting and watching floss tube podcasts. Figures. lol! I love following you all on instagram, and am happy you have started a podcast!
Thanks Margaret!!!! I hope that someday you feel like stitching again...although your knitting is so beautiful that I wouldn't think it a bad thing if you just kept knitting only. Thanks for leaving a comment!
Love you two! Had to keep pausing to look up stuff online 😭 that wall of floss, AMAZING
madaketmom thanks so much!!! Yes,Brenda’s wall of thread is 30 years in the making and absolutely drool worthy!!!!!!! I wonder what you looked up? This was the tip of the iceberg!!!
Brenda and the Serial Starter pretty much every sampler, I have been trying to resist Mary Good 🙄 and that gorgeous French General fabric. Cannot wait for your next episode! I am flamefingers on Instagram
@@madaketmom Okay! I just started following you!!! Woohooo!
Girls I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoyed your first floss tube! It was so inspiring and the love for stitching was all the way through this! I write down what I must do and must buy! Gotta say I’ve used hanks for years and my only regret is not buying more when they were $11! No lie!
Anyway you put a big smile on my face and made me proud to be a member of this universal sampler society, Keep making videos and I hope to see you both soon,❤️
Angel!!!! Thanks for your very kind words!!! I want some $11 hanks!!! Although paying $25 isn't really bad when you consider how much you get right? You always inspire us with your beautiful samplers!!! Maybe you and Donna Wynn should do a video???
I follow you both on Instgram, so I was happy to see that you started a floss tube channel. I really enjoyed watching your first one. You are both so upbeat! I am not a reproduction sampler stitcher and I rarely stitch on a count higher than 32, but I enjoy watching Carol on Saltbox Stitcher so I know I will enjoy you both. I live just a few miles from The Attic Needlework and almost signed up for Summer School this year, but family commitments took priority. Perhaps someday I will meet you at a retreat. Thanks ladies!
Thanks so much for your kind words Nan!!!! We are going back to the attic in November for the BBD retreat! Maybe we will see you there? I know I (Laura) follow you on IG so that is good. 32 count is super fabulous and always will be!!!
Love, love. love your first video! What beautiful stitching you do and I’m thrilled that you’re sharing with us! Blessings. Marlene
Thank you so much Marlene!!!!! We sure appreciate your kind and loving comment!!!!
Great first flosstube! Thank you for sharing your wonderful work!!
Thank you so much for leaving a comment! We sure appreciate your kind words!
