BEST video EVER!!!! It was like you two switched bodies....seeing Laura calm, collected, and cool with Brenda having conniptions about Prairie Schooler was such a HOOT! I LOVE spending time with you and wish I could jump into your luggage before you head to Hobby House..LOL. Tara's last video almost sent me over the cliff....and I don't even stitch Halloween; but I love anything Autumn and many of her projects were right up my alley. I am also hovering over the schoom button for becoming a T.Kogut Patreon member, which means my life expectancy is going to have to have a couple hundred years added to give me time to stitch everything I love! Brenda, I think it may have been Annie Turner, The Proper Stitcher who premiered the Cross Stitch Planner and I have it on my Santa Wish List. Praying for safe travels and boatloads of fun and laughter, and maybe a little stitching and LOTS of shopping next week. Can't wait to hear about your adventures when you get back. Thank you so much for sharing you time with us and I know if we lived next door, we could have a blast... One more thing, Thank you for letting us know about the No.12 Stitch Co kit for Breast Cancer Awareness. I will be ordering that today as a tribute to my mother, her oldest sister, my 3 year survival anniversary and my younger sister who all have traveled that path. It sometimes feels like a lonely path, but there is a huge sisterhood of participants and supporting each other is the most caring, courageous thing we can do for each other. xoxoxo
It is so great to get to see a flosstube!! Finally got power a couple days ago and some spotty cell service. Especially you guys!! Finally, a little bit of normalcy for me. I’m just outside Asheville, NC and our city is devastated, many towns ruined and people lost everything. Thanks to everyone showing support during this difficult time ❤️
@@maryfrenzke5075 Yes!! If there is a silver lining in this catastrophic event, it’s seeing people come together and unite! It will literally want to make your heart explode seeing so many acts of kindness. Thank you for the prayers! He calmed the storm to a whisper, and stilled the waves. Psalm 107:29
Guys….i thank you so much for the hour of joy and laughter ! I just came back from NC and so saddened at the devastation…then to come home and find out we have a hurricane coming right through our area…I needed a break and needed some joy…and got a hour of it with you! Thanks so much!😘
Hi my two favorite northern Illinois ladies. Loved all the stitching and stuff today. Your stitching is absolute exquisite. Laura I love your haircut - looks great. Don't worry Brenda my Badgers are in the same boat as your Wolverines.
Thank you for the prompt and personalized reply. I just love watching your flosstubes ( I’m even going back and watching all of your previous ones!). Keep up the good work.
Totally loved this floss tube. I so wish I was “going downstairs” with you too. I am not going to Hobby House this year but I signed up for both 2025 retreats. Have fun!
Dear ladies! I always thoroughly enjoy your videos! We just got home (Colorado) from a long trailer trip to Williamsburg, VA, and I was able to stop in at Notforgotten Farms!!! 😊😊😊 Lori so nicely opened up her shop for me and it was fantastic 😍😍😍 I loved it and I loved Lori! And her husband was wonderful too. He even went a rescued my husband from our truck full of dogs so that he could visit too! I agree....you really need to go there! And it is very close to Appomattox Court House which is also a great stop, if you need another reason to go there!!! It is one of my favorite memories of our trip! I also was able to stop in at Quilters Station and since I also am a quilter, enjoy punch needle , wool applique and of course cross stitch, I was immediately in love there as well.....thank you Carol Saltbox for that one! Love your videos!
Smiling soooo hard the whole way thru this video!😊. I'm so excited for you both going to Hobby House❤. I appreciate you both much...thanks for all the enjoyable stitching fun.❤
Always so relaxing to sit and watch the two of you and stitch!!! Don’t you just love it when you need to go find a chart or two and need to do it like now?? LOL!!! Enjoy your retreat.
You two excite me to stitch! Not that I need any reason to be hyped up on stitching, it's just so thrilling to visit you two lovers of needle and thread. Y"all are a blessing. I love you both and you excite and add to the cross stitch world. You bring so much to my joy when your latest show comes on. Shelia from NC
Excellent floss tube !!! Laura all your finished pieces are beautiful!!! Great stash of Halloween and Christmas charts. Brenda. Mary Finley is gorgeous!!! Love the color of the linen!!!
Outstanding video. Have a wonderful time at Hobby House. Will be anxiously waiting for the next video to see all the things from retreat. Safe travels and God Bless.
Hello, my friends, I am a bit behind. You have already had your amazing retreat at Hobby House. I loved all of the finishes. Just a lovely afternoon with you both. Much love. ❤❤
Great projects & haul. Nice finishes Laura. I too love Fall, we are having some beautiful weather here in WI also. Have a fun & safe trip to Hobby House! Marilyn
Happy to see you ladies this morning! Enjoy your retreat at Hobby House. I live in NW PA but unable to travel that far. I have ordered from them on line and their products are exquisite. In the Spring my husband bought me a Winterberry Case in Lavender. It sits where I stitch and makes me so happy. Definitely feel the joy of looking at other people's projects and look forward to stitching everyday. Love the feel of linen in my hands and admiring the colors of threads. Thank you for taking the time to share.
Such a great video as usual! I always enjoy Brenda’s reactions to Laura’s shenanigans but today was especially fun. I just displayed my Halloween/Autumn pieces. My all time favorite project is Witchy Washy, a witch’s laundry on a clothesline, including her colorful bloomers. It is by Raise the Roof Designs, I stitched it many years ago. ❤
Ladies!! I love watching you both so much. Seeing all of your fab projects and finishes, it's such a joy! And Laura that 56 Count!! Amazing. Have fun at Hobbyhouse and I look forward to hearing all about it on your return!
Oh I giggled and laughed and oohed and awwwed all the way through. I just love your enthusiasm and honest addiction to this wonderful craft. Thanks for keeping us all “hepped up”!! 😊
Great video! You are going to love the new place! I was there in September and absolutely loved it. So many beautiful charts, samplers, linen and so many other items. You have to check out the Hobby House Dye Works linen especially the 56 count. Hopefully Kathy will dye up some more. Enjoy your time there!
So much fun - stitching a Prairie Schooler while Laura was showing all her adorable finishes! I think I have that little ABC Santa mini chart - I must dig it out! Have a wonderful time at Hobby House - I was there this summer - and they have a whole room - a big room - of linen!
You two make my day. I laugh then I get antsy to go shop before y’all are done . Love North Wind Prairie. Well what didn’t I love. I’m sure we could hang out. Just adore you guys and your sharing.❤❤❤
You guys are absolutely the best thing going. I rarely find myself drawn toward Halloween stitching, but all that you showed (Laura!) makes me think about that. I will be at HHN myself for the first time in a couple of weeks (not for TGBSW, sadly) and realize I should be making lists!! Thanks as always for so much fun!
Ladies you both are going to have a H&H! I was lucky enough to be at Hobby House last week. The ladies were stocking up on Linen like you wouldn’t believe. They kept opening packages and opening packages. It was Heaven. And yes they have flower thread, and any other thread you can think of. I was at their old store last year and nearly lost my mind, WAIT till you see the new store. Have fun, enjoy yourselves and renew friendships. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts and see your haul. Love you both, Cheryl.
You know how much we all,love you! And can’t wait to hear all about your fun retreat! Thanks so much for having such a good idea about using flower thread ford the stockings! Love it! 🥰
Thank you Judy for your kind friendship!!!! Yes, that idea Brenda had was genius and you can bet we will doing one of your projects like that!!! So excited!!!
Have a wonderful and safe trip! I can't wait to hear all about your retreat and see all of the things that you bring home. Laura, your finishes are just awesome. I look forward to seeing your bowl of ladies come together. Have fun and happy stitching!
What can I say? I love you two. I love your enthusiasm and joy and helped-up-ness. Wish I could also go to Hobby House for the retreat. Thanks for all your joy!
You are both such a delight!!! Your enthusiasm is so contagious!!! You both had such beautiful finishes! I love Halloween/fall stitching as much as Christmas stitching so this was just glorious (and yes, I did watch Tara and drool)! Thanks as always and have an amazing time at your retreat! Happy stitching!
Brenda - you are not the only one that is dying to go to your downstairs! Laura - you are on fire Girl! Both of you are such enablers - thank you for that. Always so much fun to watch you.🥰
Hi Brenda and Laura, very nice finishes ladies, enjoy your retreat at hobby house needleworks. That was sweet of JBW designs to send you those ornament charts. They should look very pretty with all of your decorations. Have a great week. TTFN
It’s always a high point in the day when I see a new flosstube from you two. Thanks so much. It was extra exciting this time with all those cute charts and beautiful finishes and your excitement. Have a wonderful retreat. Looking forward to hearing all about it.
So much fun to watch you both. I am such a fan and love all you have encouraged me to stitch. Enjoy your Hobby House retreat. I’ll be going to Stitch West in Salt Lake City in just a few more days. Your tubes are the best.
Ah yes......"Comfort Stitching". my new favorite terminology for what we do! I would have gone 'round the bend looooong ago if it weren't for my comfort stitching! But, I must say this: watching you two, and really showing us just how MUCH you two love your stitching really is what's comforting! ~ thanks for the laughs in this video, as well as the kind mentions and support...love you two bunches!
I love Prairie Schooler! I have stitched at least 100 ornaments. I did that one Laura showed. I gave it to my son. Primrose cross stitch reminds me of Prairie Schooler. Good video! I will miss you in November.
Wow! You’ve got me all hepped up now! The charts, fabric, threads are mind blowing. So much stitchy fun! Enjoy Hobby House Retreat and I can’t wait to hear all about it.
So fun to catch up with you two! Loved the finishes! Have fun at your retreat. Oh! I did go watch Tara as instructed. Omg her parade of finishes was awesome!! All of you provide inspiration to us. So glad you’re part of the stitching community.
Oh my gosh, I just had a hearty heart attack and a hernia when I heard you'll be back in December. I thought you said summer in your last video and it really tugged at my heart. Like, what am I going to do if I don't see you guys at least once a month. Month. You keep me so hyped up about stitching. I am the same age as Laura's mother, and I don't go to stitch ins like I used to. I loved them and most of the people I met are my age now and they are hopefully still stitching. I loved your video this week and all of your Halloween and Christmas goodies. Thank you! Thank you for the time you spend giving us Joy and the desire to keep on stitching. Have a safe trip and have fun.
You two must plan a trip to Lori's!! She use to have an Open House in the Fall that had antique dealers in the yard and her shop open!! You will really enjoy going in the Fall!. I would always look forward to going!! Such a treat and especially in the Fall!! You'll get to see all her farm animals!! Billy the peacock is so beautiful ,especially when he shows his feathers!! It's in the country!! Be sure to plan a visit!! You will come home inspired!!!! Enjoy your trip to Hobby House!! Look forward to see and hear all about it!!!! Safe travels!!!! Barbara S. 😊❤❤❤
I’ve been watching with my tv but wanted to come back by phone and comment about the Vera Bradley bag. When Laura held that up a flash of memories hit me. I carried a red one, like Laura’s, until it was thread bare on all the edges. I still have it. I love that bag. I may have to get it out for memories sake. Always enjoy your videos and inspiration! Happy Stitching!!
A lovely visit while resting from my treatment. Laura loved those Santa’s (I stitched one and needs finished once found) plus you other finishes. Love your sampler Brenda. Hopefully some stitching time coming up for me,maybe Christmas. Blessings and happy stitching.
Love watching. I live in Rochester - can't be there for this weeks retreat at HH but I got in to the April retreat and so excited to be going!!!!! It's going to be chilly here this coming weekend bring sweaters! Take care!!!!!
So nice to see you today! And I am all hepped up about your being back in DECEMBER not next summer. Hubby and I just returned from a trip to New England that led us by Hobby House so i got to spend a couple of hours there. It was very nice, lots of fabric and so on. Bought several charts, Flower Thread, and some linen. Staff was most helpful. If you are driving there, the building is easy to miss as they don't have a sign up yet. It's tucked back behind another building. I finished "Harvest on Dalhia Ridge" at a retreat this summer. That is a lot of grass.....but still a fun stitch for a retreat. Have fun on at your retreat.
Thank you Debra! And we know right where the new shop is...having scoped it out on our last trip to town......Can't wait to get in there! Sounds like you had a wonderful visit there. I bet your Harvest piece is gorgeous!
Love, love, love this video!!! Love you both!!! Can't wait until October 20h for your next video!!!!! Thank YOU for taking the time to make and share this with us!!!!
I have watched Tara’s flosstube so didn’t have to pause, BUT, I had to pause to pull out my Prairie Schooler file!! Thanks for throwing all my stitching plans out the window!! Have a great time at Hobby House!
Ladies, Ladies, Ladies, what a delightful video! I’m always so inspired after watching you! Laura-Fabulous finishes, how exciting to see them return all prettied up. Have a wonderful adventure at Hobby House, I look forward to hearing all about it! Take care! 🌻
So much fun seeing your love of stitching, as always. I was at the Husky/Michigan game last night and couldn't stop thinking of you Brenda. While I'm happy that our Huskies won, I knew it would be a sad moment on flosstube. Have a great time at Hobby House. Can't wait to hear all about it!
Oh, Laura - love the 56 ct project you finished! And your FFOs are fantastic! Enjoyed this immensely - especially Brenda itching to get downstairs! I leave on Wednesday too and look forward to seeing you both! Yes, we are fortunate!❤
We will miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But you can stay home and plan some more stuff that gets us all hepped up!!! By the way, you got my Mom all hepped up too!!!!
Oh, my gosh! What a great video! You two are just wonderful!! Laura, your finishes made me salivate! I paused and dug out my Prairie Schooler and took a snapshot of your flat-fold. Perfection! Have a wonderful retreat! Happy stitching!!❤
I was so excited to start my Halloween/Fall stitching. Now that I am, all I want to do is start my Christmas stitching. Hope you have fun at the retreat. Can't wait to hear about it.
So true!!! I got so kerfuffled that I have been pinging back and forth between Halloween and Christmas the last two days and have not gotten diddly done!
So many wonderful patterns! Laura, your finishes are heartwarming! I stitched that Prairie Schooler Autumn house countless years ago on Aida, before I knew about linen and I have it hanging up all year long. I tell you, I think we are all sisters from other mothers! I'll bet Brenda will have her Autumn house finished before your next video! You gals are so enjoyable! Kudos to Laura and water! Have a wonderful trip to Hobby House and always happy stitching💚
I knew you would like that water drinking!!!!!!!!!!!! (it was only because I forgot to bring my Diet Coke, but still!!!!) Yes, we definitely have the same tastes and isn't that wonderful!!!! Hugs!!
Oh my gosh... I'm dying from laughter! This episode was full throttle hepped-up! 😂. Brenda, I hope you made it to the cellar in one piece! I hope for everyone's sake you were able to find the PS pattern you were looking for and that it wasnt as elusive to find as your linen was! Laura, I was as excited as Brenda was seeing all of your finishes and fall/Christmas patterns! I hope you both have a wonderful time at Hobby House! What a great place to be at this time of year for such a special event! And I'm so glad you'll be back in December (my ears heard "summer" too, and I had a minor h&h). Safe travels!
Love love love you ladies. My stitchy friend and I drove from Mississauga Ontario Canada 2 weeks ago just to visit Hobby House and it was the most beautiful shop!!! I’m hoping to see you both next year at Hobby House. ENJOY 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for clarifying til December! Was going to have serious withdrawals if it was summer!! Enjoy every minute at Hobby House, hope to get there one day.. YAY Bears won!
I absolutely loved this video. Miss Laura, you sent my credit card on fire with all the Prairie Schooler. Your friendship is awesome. Save travels to Hobby House girls. Can’t wait to see what trouble you get into. 😉
Have fun at your retreat! I'm going to my first retreat next May in Rockford with Bee Youtiful Sip and Stitch, and can't wait. My Cross Stitch planner is due here on the 9th, and after seeing what yours looks like, I'm excited. I enjoyed all the finishes you got back, too.
BEST video EVER!!!! It was like you two switched bodies....seeing Laura calm, collected, and cool with Brenda having conniptions about Prairie Schooler was such a HOOT! I LOVE spending time with you and wish I could jump into your luggage before you head to Hobby House..LOL. Tara's last video almost sent me over the cliff....and I don't even stitch Halloween; but I love anything Autumn and many of her projects were right up my alley. I am also hovering over the schoom button for becoming a T.Kogut Patreon member, which means my life expectancy is going to have to have a couple hundred years added to give me time to stitch everything I love! Brenda, I think it may have been Annie Turner, The Proper Stitcher who premiered the Cross Stitch Planner and I have it on my Santa Wish List. Praying for safe travels and boatloads of fun and laughter, and maybe a little stitching and LOTS of shopping next week. Can't wait to hear about your adventures when you get back. Thank you so much for sharing you time with us and I know if we lived next door, we could have a blast... One more thing, Thank you for letting us know about the No.12 Stitch Co kit for Breast Cancer Awareness. I will be ordering that today as a tribute to my mother, her oldest sister, my 3 year survival anniversary and my younger sister who all have traveled that path. It sometimes feels like a lonely path, but there is a huge sisterhood of participants and supporting each other is the most caring, courageous thing we can do for each other. xoxoxo
Thank you for such a lovely and multilayered comment Barbara!!!! It was a joy to read and I pinned it!
It is so great to get to see a flosstube!! Finally got power a couple days ago and some spotty cell service. Especially you guys!! Finally, a little bit of normalcy for me. I’m just outside Asheville, NC and our city is devastated, many towns ruined and people lost everything. Thanks to everyone showing support during this difficult time ❤️
I think everyone is praying for you! It is so heartwarming to se people coming to help.
@@maryfrenzke5075 Yes!! If there is a silver lining in this catastrophic event, it’s seeing people come together and unite! It will literally want to make your heart explode seeing so many acts of kindness. Thank you for the prayers!

What an awesome video! Have a great time at the retreat!
I’m from Greensboro and thoughts and prayers are coming your way! We love you!
Guys….i thank you so much for the hour of joy and laughter ! I just came back from NC and so saddened at the devastation…then to come home and find out we have a hurricane coming right through our area…I needed a break and needed some joy…and got a hour of it with you! Thanks so much!😘
We are sending you a big hug Terri!!!! I hope that you will be safe during this hurricane. If you need anything, please let us know!!!
Hi my two favorite northern Illinois ladies. Loved all the stitching and stuff today. Your stitching is absolute exquisite. Laura I love your haircut - looks great. Don't worry Brenda my Badgers are in the same boat as your Wolverines.

Yes! Love that feeling when a chart calls to you and you know you have it! Even better when you know where it is located!!!

Ladies you both are going to have a H&H! I was lucky enough to be at Hobby House last week. The ladies were stocking up on Linen like you wouldn’t believe.

Thank you so much Kathy!!!
So much fun to watch you both. I am such a fan and love all you have encouraged me to stitch. Enjoy your Hobby House retreat. I’ll be going to Stitch West in Salt Lake City in just a few more days. Your tubes are the best.
Thank you so much!!! I wish we could go to Stitch West too!!!! It looks like such a great time every year!!!! Have a wonderful retreat!!!
I live in Buffalo, NY and have been to the old and new Hobby House. It’s beautiful! Have fun at the retreat! Love your videos and stitching!
Thank you so much Lisa!!!!!
Hi Brenda! 🙋♀️Chrissy and I showed the planner on our last Flosstube and I made a post about it! Isn’t it just the best! Glad you got a copy too.
It is!!!! Thank you Linda!!!
All of your finishes are absolutely stunning. Thank you so much for sharing another great video and for all that you do.
Thank you so much for watching Lorraine!!
Wish I could go to all the places you mentioned! I will live and travel through you, LOL!
I wish you could too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hugs!
Ah yes......"Comfort Stitching". my new favorite terminology for what we do! I would have gone 'round the bend looooong ago if it weren't for my comfort stitching! But, I must say this: watching you two, and really showing us just how MUCH you two love your stitching really is what's comforting! ~ thanks for the laughs in this video, as well as the kind mentions and support...love you two bunches!
Thank you Lori!!!! We are sending lots of love to you and your sweet Mom!
Brenda - Tara & Laura stitch Halloween, so you don't have to 🎃🦇🤣
Love your beautiful samplers.
Thank you Ann!!!
I love Prairie Schooler! I have stitched at least 100 ornaments. I did that one Laura showed. I gave it to my son. Primrose cross stitch reminds me of Prairie Schooler. Good video! I will miss you in November.
Thank you Darleen!!! I bet your PS stitching is awesome!
Wow! You’ve got me all hepped up now! The charts, fabric, threads are mind blowing. So much stitchy fun! Enjoy Hobby House Retreat and I can’t wait to hear all about it.
Yay!! Glad you are excited!!! Thank you Pamela!
Thanks for all the inspiration!❤ It’s always so fun to start my morning with you!
Thank you Linda!
So fun to catch up with you two! Loved the finishes! Have fun at your retreat. Oh! I did go watch Tara as instructed. Omg her parade of finishes was awesome!! All of you provide inspiration to us. So glad you’re part of the stitching community.
Thank you so much!!!!
Oh my gosh, I just had a hearty heart attack and a hernia when I heard you'll be back in December. I thought you said summer in your last video and it really tugged at my heart. Like, what am I going to do if I don't see you guys at least once a month. Month. You keep me so hyped up about stitching. I am the same age as Laura's mother, and I don't go to stitch ins like I used to. I loved them and most of the people I met are my age now and they are hopefully still stitching. I loved your video this week and all of your Halloween and Christmas goodies. Thank you! Thank you for the time you spend giving us Joy and the desire to keep on stitching. Have a safe trip and have fun.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments Sharon!!!! They are always a delight to read. Sending you a big hug!
Again i love your floss tube. Loved it and so much fun !
Thank you Sandy!!!

You two must plan a trip to Lori's!! She use to have an Open House in the Fall that had antique dealers in the yard and her shop open!! You will really enjoy going in the Fall!. I would always look forward to going!! Such a treat and especially in the Fall!! You'll get to see all her farm animals!! Billy the peacock is so beautiful ,especially when he shows his feathers!! It's in the country!! Be sure to plan a visit!! You will come home inspired!!!! Enjoy your trip to Hobby House!! Look forward to see and hear all about it!!!! Safe travels!!!! Barbara S. 😊❤❤❤
Oh we are going!!!!!!!! It sounds so amazing!!! Thank you Barbara!
I’ve been watching with my tv but wanted to come back by phone and comment about the Vera Bradley bag. When Laura held that up a flash of memories hit me. I carried a red one, like Laura’s, until it was thread bare on all the edges. I still have it. I love that bag. I may have to get it out for memories sake.
Always enjoy your videos and inspiration! Happy Stitching!!
Thank you so much!!!! Some of our bags have so many memories! Hope you are currently housing a project in your old red Vera bag!
A lovely visit while resting from my treatment. Laura loved those Santa’s (I stitched one and needs finished once found) plus you other finishes. Love your sampler Brenda. Hopefully some stitching time coming up for me,maybe Christmas. Blessings and happy stitching.
We hope that you are on the mend Clare!!! And hope that you can stitch ASAP!!!
Oh what joy!! And the finishes!! You are going to have the time of your lives at HobbyHouse - how fab :)
Thank you Sian!!!!!!!!! We are very excited!!!!! Hope all is well with you!
Love watching. I live in Rochester - can't be there for this weeks retreat at HH but I got in to the April retreat and so excited to be going!!!!! It's going to be chilly here this coming weekend bring sweaters! Take care!!!!!
We are so happy that it will be cold! Sweater weather!!!!!!! See you in April!!!!!!!!!!
So nice to see you today! And I am all hepped up about your being back in DECEMBER not next summer. Hubby and I just returned from a trip to New England that led us by Hobby House so i got to spend a couple of hours there. It was very nice, lots of fabric and so on. Bought several charts, Flower Thread, and some linen. Staff was most helpful. If you are driving there, the building is easy to miss as they don't have a sign up yet. It's tucked back behind another building. I finished "Harvest on Dalhia Ridge" at a retreat this summer. That is a lot of grass.....but still a fun stitch for a retreat. Have fun on at your retreat.
Thank you Debra! And we know right where the new shop is...having scoped it out on our last trip to town......Can't wait to get in there! Sounds like you had a wonderful visit there. I bet your Harvest piece is gorgeous!
Love, love, love this video!!! Love you both!!! Can't wait until October 20h for your next video!!!!! Thank YOU for taking the time to make and share this with us!!!!
Thank you so much for watching Laurie!!!
I have watched Tara’s flosstube so didn’t have to pause, BUT, I had to pause to pull out my Prairie Schooler file!! Thanks for throwing all my stitching plans out the window!! Have a great time at Hobby House!
Oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pulling out the PS File!!!!! What fun, fun, fun!!!!!!!!!
Ladies, Ladies, Ladies, what a delightful video! I’m always so inspired after watching you! Laura-Fabulous finishes, how exciting to see them return all prettied up. Have a wonderful adventure at Hobby House, I look forward to hearing all about it! Take care! 🌻
Thank you so much Sandra!!!
So much fun seeing your love of stitching, as always. I was at the Husky/Michigan game last night and couldn't stop thinking of you Brenda. While I'm happy that our Huskies won, I knew it would be a sad moment on flosstube. Have a great time at Hobby House. Can't wait to hear all about it!
Thank you Bethany!!!!!
Wonderful flosstube, thank you for sharing. I truly enjoyed your stitching . Happy stitching and safe journey.❤
Thank you very much Linda!!!
As always, thank you for the most fun, inspiring and lovely hour. Love you guys!
Thank you so much for watching!
Your videos always make me happy! ❤️
Well that is just the nicest compliment!! Thank you so much!
Oh, Laura - love the 56 ct project you finished! And your FFOs are fantastic! Enjoyed this immensely - especially Brenda itching to get downstairs! I leave on Wednesday too and look forward to seeing you both! Yes, we are fortunate!❤
We are going to have so much fun Georgia!!!!! See you soon!

We will miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But you can stay home and plan some more stuff that gets us all hepped up!!! By the way, you got my Mom all hepped up too!!!!
Wish you the best of Hobby House! Safe travels. I can’t wait to hear all about it.
Thank you Mary Ellen!!!
Oh, my gosh! What a great video! You two are just wonderful!! Laura, your finishes made me salivate! I paused and dug out my Prairie Schooler and took a snapshot of your flat-fold. Perfection! Have a wonderful retreat! Happy stitching!!❤
Thank you so much Joyce!!!!
A fist full of Fall - Laura you crack me up every week!
Thank you so much Joanne!!!
WOW LAURA!! You knocked it out of the park! I too have the BG Christmas at Winterberry Cabin. I was just looking at it the other day.
We need to start that one soon Betsy!!!
I was so excited to start my Halloween/Fall stitching. Now that I am, all I want to do is start my Christmas stitching. Hope you have fun at the retreat. Can't wait to hear about it.
So true!!! I got so kerfuffled that I have been pinging back and forth between Halloween and Christmas the last two days and have not gotten diddly done!
So many wonderful patterns! Laura, your finishes are heartwarming! I stitched that Prairie Schooler Autumn house countless years ago on Aida, before I knew about linen and I have it hanging up all year long. I tell you, I think we are all sisters from other mothers! I'll bet Brenda will have her Autumn house finished before your next video! You gals are so enjoyable! Kudos to Laura and water! Have a wonderful trip to Hobby House and always happy stitching💚
I knew you would like that water drinking!!!!!!!!!!!! (it was only because I forgot to bring my Diet Coke, but still!!!!) Yes, we definitely have the same tastes and isn't that wonderful!!!! Hugs!!
I always love that little song , love all your things Laura you been busy!
Thank you Anita!
Oh my gosh... I'm dying from laughter! This episode was full throttle hepped-up! 😂. Brenda, I hope you made it to the cellar in one piece! I hope for everyone's sake you were able to find the PS pattern you were looking for and that it wasnt as elusive to find as your linen was! Laura, I was as excited as Brenda was seeing all of your finishes and fall/Christmas patterns! I hope you both have a wonderful time at Hobby House! What a great place to be at this time of year for such a special event! And I'm so glad you'll be back in December (my ears heard "summer" too, and I had a minor h&h). Safe travels!
Thank you so much Maureen!!!!!! Yes, Brenda found her PS chart very easily. And we had a super time at HHN....will tell you all about it on Sunday!
You two make me laugh so much! Great video, girls ! ❤
Thank you so much Shelly!

Have fun at your retreat! I'm going to my first retreat next May in Rockford with Bee Youtiful Sip and Stitch, and can't wait. My Cross Stitch planner is due here on the 9th, and after seeing what yours looks like, I'm excited. I enjoyed all the finishes you got back, too.
Thank you Kathy!!!!!
