Sweet FlossTube...I have this “problem” that I love everything you two showed...praying for everyone in FlossTube land...best wishes and happy stitching you two❤️
Thanku so much for another great flosstube..I really appreciate you sharing your stitching..it makes me feel less isolated...I look forward to your next flosstube!🌹
Thank you so much!!! We are so thankful for this community and our fellow stitchers. What we would we do without stitching.......it is such a balm these days!
What a sweet video. You 2 make my heart happy! Love all your stitching and planning and the fun you have with each other. Such a lift to my weary mind! Now, I have to find my prison / desert island pieces. Thank you so much form making my day brighter. ❤️❤️❤️ Be safe and be well!
Stitch what makes you comfortable and brings you joy is the best saying. You have me thinking about what I would take to a desert island. Really enjoy your updates, you both are so inspiring. I'm not a millionaire but will do my best to make small orders. Loved seeing your older pieces Brenda, they are so precious and have good memories.
We voluntarily locked ourselves down at beginning of March. Thank goodness for stash! Funnily, I kitted up My Heart Can Rest right before listening to your video and I was glad to hear Laura loves Winter Brew because that is what I kitted up. PTP Heartland (called for) is not to be found anywhere. Stitching is what gets me up in the morning in these troubled times and a video from you two is a virtual lifeline. Thank you so much!! You are the best!
Thanks so much Jill!!!!! Part of me wishes I could be on lock down at home and just stitch all day, but I will just keep thinking that going to work will pay for future stash and retreats! I would pick Winter Brew over Heartland for sure!!! I bet yours looks so beautiful!!! I am sticking with Heartland only because that is what we were given at retreat with that project. Take good care of yourself and happy stitching!!!
Oh dear. I did cross stitch maybe 20 years ago. I was going through some boxes and found some things I did. Then I realized, 🥁.......I’m a serial starter! But wise yet, three or four starts are very small and I have no clue what they are. I’ll be frogging those! My sister introduced me to floss tube so I’m hooked again and I love you two. Cannot wait to see you each week.
Thanks Donna.....if we did not have our stitching I think we would be in worse shape. I know I would. It certainly keeps me going these days. Stay well and stitch on!!! Hugs!
Love all the pretty stitching - thanks for sharing! My virtual stitching group is going to show-and-tell our desert island charts tonight on zoom. I thought it was an excellent idea. Ya'll bring me a lot of joy - blessings to you both. xoxo
You two are such a tonic. I could watch you all day. I'm loving the Desert Island Stitches idea. Can't wait to see more. Brenda, I finished my All Joys for Thine. Yay! Much love from the UK.
I was so excited to see you on flosstube...thanks for sharing your finishes...and entertaining us with your banter...you two are amazing! Stay safe and see you next time!
So good to see you two today. Besides church which we can’t go to these days, I associate Sundays with watching you talk about beautiful stitching and inspiring me to stretch my skill set. So, today I’m going to work on Dear Daughter by Blackbird. I did three of the borders months ago and haven’t been back yo it since. Now would be a good time since my daughter’s birthday is in July. I have to tell you that my husband was nearby looking at his phone and when Brenda said that she could switch endive and camomile he looked up and wanted to know what in the world she was cooking! I assured him that no cooking was involved.🙂
Good to see you today. I've been quilting for a couple of years so I have quite a stash of fabric. I decided to do a quilt and it was REALLY nice to be able to go to my stash to join a QAL. I've picked up cross stitch again after a couple of years so I have floss, but not much fabric. Trying to buy a little every few days in March to celebrate my birthday month. Have a great week.
Thanks Lindi! Glad you are stitching again!!! Stitching and quilting are such wonderful pursuits!!! Hope you had a happy birthday month despite everything going on!!!
Thank you for brightening a very long day. I can’t even put into words how much you ladies make me smile. Laura your “filthy animals”comment is a classic! Be safe and happy stitching
Yay bonus video! Thanks for putting in extra time to give us this pick-me-up. My rationale for continuing to spend on cross stitch is that I'm not using as much gas, we aren't eating out and I'm not wearing out my work clothes. Brenda, fun to see your hardanger work! I wasn't brave enough to try it but always admired those designs.
Thank you, Brenda and Laura. I hope you realize how we look forward to seeing you both! ( a lot!) Very sorry your families are being impacted financially. Love you two, your friendship and your videos.
Brought a smile to my face once again! Thanks for making my day! Brenda, loved seeing all of your lovely smalls! Keep them coming. Have a blessed day ladies!
Thanks so much Terri!!! I bet you were interested in Brenda's smalls!!! You do such beautiful finishing work so it was fun for you to see some of Brenda's history in finishing. Sending you a big hug!
What? NO TAB? So nice of you to come first this week. Really needed your cheery faces weekly! Great stitching and colors! You know, I just cleaned thru 900 patterns and realized how very much my tastes have changed. Whittled it down to a couple of hundred, but probably still too many! Happy and safe week to you both!!
Thank goodness all the hoarders left you mini Nilla wafers. I haven’t been in a stitchy mood. Lots of nervous energy so have been cleaning like a mad woman! Stay safe!! Love you ladies!! ❤️
I wish I would get an urge to clean the whole house and organize.....nope, I just have the urge to stitch and watch TV. Maybe we could do a role reversal??? For like two days? Anyway, I hope that you get your stitching mood back ASAP. Hugs to you Kenda!
You gals are just the best!! As a nurse, every time you say "STAT" it just cracks me up! Thanks for sharing all your beautiful things and yourselves with all of us!!
Exactly what I said to myself. ..stat. ..get on it...also a nurse.....watched your video on the night shift...hospital up here has emptied out and waiting for the pandemic patients.
@@annettelanglois7760 Wow....I can't believe you were watching under those circumstances....what I mean is I can't believe our FT was something that perhaps helped take your mind off things for a few minutes. Sending you lots of love!!! I also call going to the bathroom...needing to void. I used to work in a hospital for many years and I miss that work environment very much! Take good care of yourself!
Oh, so happy to see you posted a video! Your back and forth banter is just so fun! Comfort stitching for sure since we now have to social distance through April! 😬 Be well you two, you certainly brighten my day! XOXO
Thanks Terri!!!! I hope that when this is over you and Robin can come over for a visit! Thank goodness we can all stay in touch via the internet. For that, we are lucky. Sending you a big hug!
It was wonderful to see you two again. I love the idea of desert island pieces. It is impressive you could narrow it down to 3 projects. Thanks for keeping me company while I stitch.
Thank you so much for such an inspiring video. My husband's walked in when you were saying good bye and love you and he said "what a loving group" and my response was "yes, we're BFFs forever! " Though we never met, you make us feel like friends and I appreciate that and the time that you put into your videos. Stay well, be safe! Happy stitching! Lori at Once Upon a Stitch
Thanks so much Lori!!!! Hopefully we shall meet one day and we will be fast friends I am sure of it!!! Sending you a big hug!! and a friendly hello to your husband!
Hooray! An extra Brenda and Laura episode! So happy!! Please be careful on your commutes, ladies. I appreciate that you still have to work, but you are treasures and treasures should be carefully guarded. "No, I mean *see* it, like, purchase it!" Oh Brenda, I know just what you mean! "Nobody told me you were this talented" sporfle I'm so glad you didn't start with samplers. All the older and different pieces show your history and development. Plus they make stitching rooms much more cozy "When we do it again *in real life*..." Thank you, ladies. *hugs*
Thank goodness for the two of you. Always enjoy seeing your charts, your finished items and your plans ahead. It is amazing how a pandemic can change our lives so quickly and our thinking and what we enjoy at this time. It is tough, but I hope we get through it all soon. Laura, the tip on using Niagara magic sizing was my suggestion, I think, that you saw on Facebook. Make sure you get magic sizing and not starch as the sizing is lighter and gives the linen just enough firmness. So happy to have a visit with you both today. I want you to know I am doing my share to help the shops during this time, and I will never live long enough to stitch it all. Take care, be safe and wishing you stay healthy, Hugs, Norma in Boise, ID
Thanks so much Norma!!!! I hope I got the magic sizing....I will have to check. Thank you for supporting those shops!!! We all have more than enough to stitch, but we need choices!!! Take very good care of yourself!!! Hugs!
Another fun video, ladies! So glad you are making it work during this crazy time! Thanks Laura for picking up and showing Miss Dickinson :) and I have my Mary Barres chart right next to me ready to order threads too! After seeing Carol's start I was just simply stunned by the beauty of it. Don't know when I can stitch all these beauties and my new ones too but it will be fun to try. It is so important to support the shops right now, especially those without online shops... after I saw your IG for Dyeing to Stitch I rang them right up! and a few other shops too. I am not a millionaire for sure but can order a bit here and there and show my support. We all have to come together during these times. Stay home and stay safe and keep stitching! Thanks for the smiles :)
Thank you for watching and commenting Krista!!!! I love all of your market releases!!!!! Yes, we sure have lots of beautiful samplers to work on....no shortage of those. Thanks for calling DTS! One of our main shops!!! I hope to be able to place a few orders myself in the not too distant future. Sending you a big hug!!! Hope you are listening to the Stones right now!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU, both for bringing a bright light into our lives at such a time . Enjoy watching all your videos and then I think I need all of that you show
Just finished your video this morning. I had to laugh when ya’ll talked about cutting back on obtaining stash because I got the TALK yesterday! The Hubby just does not know how much I have been resisting these last couple of weeks! Thanks for all you are doing by keeping all our spirits high with your positivity and awesome stitching!
Thanks so much Robin!!!! Oh, how I hate that talk....but we have to be realistic in these tough times. Thank goodness for stash!!!!!! If I would have known this was coming I would have kitted up every chart I bought! Hugs!
Hi Ladies! Now more than ever, you two are bringing joy to many stitchers all over the world! THANK YOU 🌷 Now I need to go through my stash and pick out deserted island/prison projects. 😜🏝️
What a wonderful surprise to see another video, it was much needed. Had to close my small business this week and my stress is off the charts. Taking my mind off things was a blessing. Thank you!!! ❤️
Oh Karen, I am so sorry to hear that. I hope and pray that you can get back to normal as soon as possible. We need to take our minds off of the dire situation some of the time and so I am glad we were able to do that for a few minutes. Sending you a big hug!!!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Look forward to every video you make. After watching the 2 of you I’m either looking for patterns,fabric and thread or ordering.
Thank you two for brightening my day. You both are encouraging and are providing a whole lot of temptation. Please know you are appreciated for your efforts.
Fun video you two. Had to watch In increments hub wanted to watch a movie , eating , I swear everytimeI sit to watch flosstube life interrupts.🌷🌷🌷 Be safe.
Thanks Mary Jo! Yes, I know...I could watch floss tube all day, but I have to share TV with my husband. It is pretty funny, because he knows who Nicola, Gary, Vonna and Nicole are now!!!
Thought I was going to die laughing when Laura said “filthy animals” after Brenda said wash your hands!!! Fun as always and drooling by the time the video is over! ❤️
Calling all the Millionaire Stitchers to step up their buying and boost the needlework economy🤣😂 I could get use to the Brenda and Laura show every week😍 Thanks ladies for hopping on today! You look like seasoned pros this week with the videos! I’ve tried to be a monogamous stitcher like Brenda this week, but alas I’ve been a dual monogamous stitcher, close enough though right? I’ve been working on WTNT Saltbox Quilt Sampler, and Liz Matthews Quilt Tree. I’m starting AH to EE this week by Kathy Barrick because I love all thing Quaker and quilts!!!! Hope you guys have a great week, and here’s hoping we see you next week❤️
What a nice surprise to see you both again! Thanks for the smiles :). And now you’ve made me want to go through my stash and pick my desert island pieces :). I’m so thankful for my needlework to keep my mind distracted from everything going on these days. And Floss Tube is a blessing :)
Thank you for the giggles today. It’s been hard to focus on stitching lately. I’m lucky to be able to stay home but too much worry on my mind. So....”what I’ve been into” is kitting and organizing my market haul into my stash. I too placed an additional order to my LNS. Our mini retreat was canceled for April but managed to still shop online. My LNS is the Stitchery Nook in Osage Iowa. It’s two hours away but it’s a sweet little town with a great store. Love you both. Love your videos!
Taking a two hour drive to Osage sounds so good right now!! Of course, it would be longer than two hours for me and they are probably not open....but just the thought of it makes me so happy!! Glad you are spending time kitting and organizing. Just try to stay in the stitching world in your head as much as possible. That is what we are doing! Sending hugs! Thanks Sue!
So happy you two are still doing videos! Wow, just wow on your previous finishes! So amazing and inspiring...and love your charts and starts you showed. Stay safe and happy stitching.
I just realized why it is that I just love watching you two. It's like being a "fly on the wall" when two very close friends get together to craft. I almost feel voyeuristic (in a good way!) watching you two show your projects and discuss your finishes and laugh together. There's just an amazing dynamic between you two and it's just so enjoyable to watch. Thank you so much for sharing your friendship with us... and everything else too!
That is high praise indeed!!!! I have found that I always listen in on stitching conversations between people at retreats or at shops. I just love to hear what everyone has to say. Thank you so much for your kind words Amy!!!
Brenda - I love all your ‚long ago stitched‘ Treasures and I too remember the times, when Just Nan and Emie Bishop where „the It“ ❣️ It’s funny, how things like fashions return - I’ve seen many Russian Ladies now stitching Just Nan. But still looking at all the back-when-stitched: they are still holding their everlasting Beauty and your work is just magnificent! ❣️
Too short...loved seeing you ladies anyway!! Always good stuff...Brenda those previous finishes; WOW!! SO many treasures!! Love that section...3 patterns to take to prison\island stitching!! I would definitely take a BAD (a big one) , LDS, and a Rosewood Manor!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2020!!
Floss Tube and stitching are true blessings right now. Thank you for being a bright spot for us! Oh, Laura, I spray my WDW with Best Press and iron it before stitching to help stiffen it up a bit.
Thanks so much! I am hearing that Best Press is the way to go! I will have to check that out (when the world returns to normal). Hope you are well and Happy Stitching!
Now I am going to be thinking about my list for desert island/prison stitching!! You both had great choices. I have to say that Dutch Beauty is one of the samplers I would like to stitch in the next ten years. I am working on And They Sinned by Examplars of the Heart as the first of the older classic samplers I would like to stitch. Thanks as always. Stay safe and well and happy stitching!
I love you gals. Thanks for video. “Prison Island picks”. Kind of like Alcatraz 😳. I would definitely want the biggest sampler ever! Be safe and stay healthy.
Hi sweet ladies, I'm delighted you did a floss tube today!!!! YAY!! Loved every minute of the video. Thanks for sharing with us. Love you both!!!! Happy stitching!
This is so full of fun despite these covid times a year later. A real tonic ❤️ the final “wash your hands you filthy animals” absolutely got me in stitches. It a family phrase of ours. Lol 😂 love you both so much 🌈🌈🌈
Once again, thank you for bringing joy and laughter. And now I am going to figure out what fabric and floss I need for some stash patterns and place an order with some shops! 👍💖
You two ladies are fantastic. You make my day and always keep me smiling. This morning I was looking at Snow Globe. Now I want to go get it out and start it. It is all kitted up. Stay safe and see you next week.
You ladies are always a delight! I hope when this is all done ✅ I can meet you when you do your retreat in Shipshewana! Please ladies stay safe! I love all your projects. I took off from flying the month (flight attendant) of April and might do the same for May. My next project is All of Joys of Thine...and I also started Kringles! 😘
Thank you Denise!!! I hope we are all in Shipshewana in October!!!!! Glad you are taking some time off from flying and your next project is a great one!!! Happy Stitching!
Love you ladies...thank you for the laughs & all of the stash sharing. Love the desert island/prison lists. Laura, I got vanilla wafers yesterday too! 😁 paula in Midland, Tx
Thanks for sharing again today and for all the laughs. I enjoyed seeing Brenda's treasures from long ago. Laura cracks me up with her Nilla wafers...can't imagine those with Tab though. Love you both and look forward to next weekend.
Good to see you guys on an off week! My two cents on AotH....don't change the colors. I am done with mine, didn't change a single color. I know the January block seems a little dull, but believe me, one you start getting the other blocks in, you will love it! Laura, I have had Dutch Beauty kitted for years. Have never started. I have Maritime White for it. Stay well girls!
I was so excited to see the notification that you two made a video! Those colors you kitted for your Sewing Club book, Brenda, made my heart skip! Love it! I also loved the Just Nan scissor case and your other projects 😍! Laura, I laughed when you called out those “rich stitchers” to support the needlework stores. I am certain you would be doing so, if you could!
Just such a bright spot in a bark time. Love you both and thank you for the laughs and for the looks at the lovely pieces. The prison/ desert island idea is genius!😍
Another fun video!! I will be glad when you can be back together again but this certainly works in the interim. You might check Pumpkin Hollow Stitches, she is doing AOTH and she changed her January and it looks really pretty. It wasn't drastic changes but just enough color to make it look really pretty. As always, I loved seeing all of your projects and your "prison" pieces were such fun too. I would definitely be so bored if we didn't have this FT community to follow while we stitch. Thank you so much; hugs and love to you both. Happy stitching.................
Thanks Pam!!! I saw Olivia's changes and need to really study them. You are right, they were beautiful. If we did not have this FT community I would have gone insane by now!!! Thank goodness we have each other!!! Hugs!
Thank you for your video today! I really needed it today. We have been in our homes for two weeks and things are still so uncertain. Your video and the sun shining today makes me happy!
I cannot tell you how excited I was when I got a notification yesterday morning that you put up a video. At that same moment Carol texted me to tell me. Holy moly, we had to race to get ready to watch together. I think my three prison, desert island pieces would be Ann Dale, Consider the Lillies and Jane Tindall. I had better be stranded a long time. ;)
So happy you both are still appearing in my living room! One of the biggest disappointments for me with the Dying to Stitch retreat being cancelled was not meeting you! 😞Thanks for making the effort to continue with these videos. Really brighten my day!❤️
That is one of our biggest disappointments....not meeting you Valerie. But I know that one day we will meet and have a grand old time!!!! It is such a big bummer that we are not going to DTS! Rats!
And again you two ladies have topped the charts of my flosstube watching. You ladies have now totally shoved me into the blackbird world. That’s it I am ordering that sew along book.. and the ohh la la! Thanks for sharing your world of beautiful stitching. Hugs ~Victoria
I am so excited that you are ordering those two books!!!! They are so wonderful. You could probably stitch for two years straight out of them! Enjoy!!! and stay well!
I hope you and your families are doing well. Thank you for the bonus video today! As always I really enjoy videos, especially the three you’d take with you on a desert island or to prison! 😁
With love from Louisiana ❤️ Thank you guys for this!! I really needed it today!! Y'all make me smile and laugh 😊 May God keep your families and mine in His grace!! Love to you both!! Hugs💕
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 Yes! Thank you! So far all my family is well. Prayers for all to shelter in place with plenty of love, gratitude and stitching!! Hugs back!! :-)

Thank you Joanie!! I hope you and your family are doing well. I wonder what desert island pieces you picked!!! Sending you hugs!
Stitch what makes you comfortable and brings you joy is the best saying. You have me thinking about what I would take to a desert island. Really enjoy your updates, you both are so inspiring. I'm not a millionaire but will do my best to make small orders. Loved seeing your older pieces Brenda, they are so precious and have good memories.
Thanks so much Wendy!!!! Yes, that saying of Brenda's is so smart and wonderful!!!! Thanks for making some purchases!!! Hugs!

Well you know we could come up with 50 probably......you know how that goes!!!! Stay safe!
Thank you so much for such an inspiring video. My husband's walked in when you were saying good bye and love you and he said "what a loving group" and my response was "yes, we're BFFs forever! " Though we never met, you make us feel like friends and I appreciate that and the time that you put into your videos. Stay well, be safe! Happy stitching! Lori at Once Upon a Stitch
Thanks so much Lori!!!! Hopefully we shall meet one day and we will be fast friends I am sure of it!!! Sending you a big hug!! and a friendly hello to your husband!
Hooray! An extra Brenda and Laura episode! So happy!!
Please be careful on your commutes, ladies. I appreciate that you still have to work, but you are treasures and treasures should be carefully guarded.
"No, I mean *see* it, like, purchase it!" Oh Brenda, I know just what you mean!
"Nobody told me you were this talented" sporfle
I'm so glad you didn't start with samplers. All the older and different pieces show your history and development. Plus they make stitching rooms much more cozy
"When we do it again *in real life*..."
Thank you, ladies. *hugs*
Thanks so much Birdie!!! Love that you recap the funny comments....and don't worry we are in our own cars and do not stop anywhere. Please stay safe!
Thank goodness for the two of you. Always enjoy seeing your charts, your finished items and your plans ahead. It is amazing how a pandemic can change our lives so quickly and our thinking and what we enjoy at this time. It is tough, but I hope we get through it all soon. Laura, the tip on using Niagara magic sizing was my suggestion, I think, that you saw on Facebook. Make sure you get magic sizing and not starch as the sizing is lighter and gives the linen just enough firmness. So happy to have a visit with you both today. I want you to know I am doing my share to help the shops during this time, and I will never live long enough to stitch it all. Take care, be safe and wishing you stay healthy, Hugs, Norma in Boise, ID
Thanks so much Norma!!!! I hope I got the magic sizing....I will have to check. Thank you for supporting those shops!!! We all have more than enough to stitch, but we need choices!!! Take very good care of yourself!!! Hugs!
Another fun video, ladies! So glad you are making it work during this crazy time! Thanks Laura for picking up and showing Miss Dickinson :) and I have my Mary Barres chart right next to me ready to order threads too! After seeing Carol's start I was just simply stunned by the beauty of it. Don't know when I can stitch all these beauties and my new ones too but it will be fun to try. It is so important to support the shops right now, especially those without online shops... after I saw your IG for Dyeing to Stitch I rang them right up! and a few other shops too. I am not a millionaire for sure but can order a bit here and there and show my support. We all have to come together during these times. Stay home and stay safe and keep stitching! Thanks for the smiles :)
Thank you for watching and commenting Krista!!!! I love all of your market releases!!!!! Yes, we sure have lots of beautiful samplers to work on....no shortage of those. Thanks for calling DTS! One of our main shops!!! I hope to be able to place a few orders myself in the not too distant future. Sending you a big hug!!! Hope you are listening to the Stones right now!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU, both for bringing a bright light into our lives at such a time . Enjoy watching all your videos and then I think I need all of that you show
Thanks so much Joyce!!! I bet you have a lot of good stuff already....but you are right...we always need more!
Just finished your video this morning. I had to laugh when ya’ll talked about cutting back on obtaining stash because I got the TALK yesterday! The Hubby just does not know how much I have been resisting these last couple of weeks! Thanks for all you are doing by keeping all our spirits high with your positivity and awesome stitching!
Thanks so much Robin!!!! Oh, how I hate that talk....but we have to be realistic in these tough times. Thank goodness for stash!!!!!! If I would have known this was coming I would have kitted up every chart I bought! Hugs!
Hi Ladies! Now more than ever, you two are bringing joy to many stitchers all over the world! THANK YOU 🌷
Now I need to go through my stash and pick out deserted island/prison projects. 😜🏝️
That is so nice of you to say!!!! I would love to know what your island/prison pieces are!!! Do you have a FT?
What a nice surprise! Thanks for sharing. You guys are the best! Makes this isolation better to deal with!
Thank you for your kind words Suzanne!!!
Love watching you ladies, it cheers me no end ! Stay safe and well and keep stitching Karen R 💕
Thank you so much Karen! That is so sweet of you to say!
What a wonderful surprise to see another video, it was much needed. Had to close my small business this week and my stress is off the charts. Taking my mind off things was a blessing. Thank you!!! ❤️
Oh Karen, I am so sorry to hear that. I hope and pray that you can get back to normal as soon as possible. We need to take our minds off of the dire situation some of the time and so I am glad we were able to do that for a few minutes. Sending you a big hug!!!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Look forward to every video you make. After watching the 2 of you I’m either looking for patterns,fabric and thread or ordering.
Thank you for watching and commenting Ginger!!! Hugs!!!
Thank you two for brightening my day. You both are encouraging and are providing a whole lot of temptation. Please know you are appreciated for your efforts.
Thank you so much for letting us know! We sure appreciate it!!!
Fun video you two. Had to watch In increments hub wanted to watch a movie , eating , I swear everytimeI sit to watch flosstube life interrupts.🌷🌷🌷 Be safe.
Thanks Mary Jo! Yes, I know...I could watch floss tube all day, but I have to share TV with my husband. It is pretty funny, because he knows who Nicola, Gary, Vonna and Nicole are now!!!
Thank you so much for the laughs! I love y'alls videos!!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
I am going to have to meet you two somewhere. You just brighten my day. thank you so much!
That would be so wonderful Donna!!!!! I hope that happens.....soon!!!! Hugs!
Thought I was going to die laughing when Laura said “filthy animals” after Brenda said wash your hands!!! Fun as always and drooling by the time the video is over! ❤️
Thanks so much Michelle! I have been seeing that wash your hands ya' filthy animals a lot of places and it just popped into my head!
Brenda and the Serial Starter Laura did you know that that statement originally came from the movie ‘Home Alone?’ 😬
Calling all the Millionaire Stitchers to step up their buying and boost the needlework economy🤣😂 I could get use to the Brenda and Laura show every week😍 Thanks ladies for hopping on today! You look like seasoned pros this week with the videos! I’ve tried to be a monogamous stitcher like Brenda this week, but alas I’ve been a dual monogamous stitcher, close enough though right? I’ve been working on WTNT Saltbox Quilt Sampler, and Liz Matthews Quilt Tree. I’m starting AH to EE this week by Kathy Barrick because I love all thing Quaker and quilts!!!! Hope you guys have a great week, and here’s hoping we see you next week❤️
Thanks Liz!!! You have some amazing projects going!!!! I would stitch all of those!!! Hugs!
Love you gals !!! You are a joy to watch and such a blessing, bringing smiles and laughter to others. Thank you dear ladies. :)
Thank you for your kind words Cheryl! Hugs!
What a nice surprise to see you both again! Thanks for the smiles :). And now you’ve made me want to go through my stash and pick my desert island pieces :). I’m so thankful for my needlework to keep my mind distracted from everything going on these days. And Floss Tube is a blessing :)
Isn't floss tube amazing? It is such a help right now that is for sure!!! I hope you find some great desert island pieces in your stash! Thanks Linda!
Thank you ladies! Made a very lazy Sunday worthwhile.
Thanks Carol!
Thank you for the giggles today. It’s been hard to focus on stitching lately. I’m lucky to be able to stay home but too much worry on my mind. So....”what I’ve been into” is kitting and organizing my market haul into my stash. I too placed an additional order to my LNS. Our mini retreat was canceled for April but managed to still shop online. My LNS is the Stitchery Nook in Osage Iowa. It’s two hours away but it’s a sweet little town with a great store. Love you both. Love your videos!
Taking a two hour drive to Osage sounds so good right now!! Of course, it would be longer than two hours for me and they are probably not open....but just the thought of it makes me so happy!! Glad you are spending time kitting and organizing. Just try to stay in the stitching world in your head as much as possible. That is what we are doing! Sending hugs! Thanks Sue!
Hi Laura and Brenda. How lovely to hear from you. XxX
Thank you Bridget!!
So happy you two are still doing videos! Wow, just wow on your previous finishes! So amazing and inspiring...and love your charts and starts you showed. Stay safe and happy stitching.
Thank you Diane!!!! Your kind words warm our hearts!!! Hugs! Take care of yourself!
You ladies make the day brighter, thanks for sharing your lovely stitched projects.
Thank you so much Laraine!!!
I just realized why it is that I just love watching you two. It's like being a "fly on the wall" when two very close friends get together to craft. I almost feel voyeuristic (in a good way!) watching you two show your projects and discuss your finishes and laugh together. There's just an amazing dynamic between you two and it's just so enjoyable to watch. Thank you so much for sharing your friendship with us... and everything else too!
That is high praise indeed!!!! I have found that I always listen in on stitching conversations between people at retreats or at shops. I just love to hear what everyone has to say. Thank you so much for your kind words Amy!!!
Brenda - I love all your ‚long ago stitched‘ Treasures and I too remember the times, when Just Nan and Emie Bishop where „the It“ ❣️ It’s funny, how things like fashions return - I’ve seen many Russian Ladies now stitching Just Nan. But still looking at all the back-when-stitched: they are still holding their everlasting Beauty and your work is just magnificent! ❣️
Too short...loved seeing you ladies anyway!! Always good stuff...Brenda those previous finishes; WOW!! SO many treasures!! Love that section...3 patterns to take to prison\island stitching!! I would definitely take a BAD (a big one) , LDS, and a Rosewood Manor!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2020!!
Thanks Karen!!!!!!! Hope you are having some happy stitching time!!!
Thank you two for being you, stay safe and well, Sundays are better with you in them❤️
Thanks so much for your kind words! You be safe and well too!
Great visit with you guys. Thank you for some comic relief and have a good week.
Thank you so much Sharon!!!
Hello Brenda and Laura - I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers through this time. Comfort stitching at it's best!
Thanks so much Tammy!!! Sending love right back to you!!!!
Floss Tube and stitching are true blessings right now. Thank you for being a bright spot for us! Oh, Laura, I spray my WDW with Best Press and iron it before stitching to help stiffen it up a bit.
Thanks so much! I am hearing that Best Press is the way to go! I will have to check that out (when the world returns to normal). Hope you are well and Happy Stitching!
Now I am going to be thinking about my list for desert island/prison stitching!! You both had great choices. I have to say that Dutch Beauty is one of the samplers I would like to stitch in the next ten years. I am working on And They Sinned by Examplars of the Heart as the first of the older classic samplers I would like to stitch. Thanks as always. Stay safe and well and happy stitching!
Thanks so much Wanda!!!! You are working on a big beautiful sampler right now!!! Stay safe!
I love you gals. Thanks for video. “Prison Island picks”. Kind of like Alcatraz 😳. I would definitely want the biggest sampler ever! Be safe and stay healthy.
Thanks so much!!!! Yes, we would need huge samplers! Luckily there are lots of them!!! Hugs!
You two ladies are the best.You bring a smile to my face in these challenging times.Please stay safe and wash,wash,wash those hands!!
We are washing and stitching!!!! washing and stitching! washing and stitching!!! Thanks so much for your kind comments!!
Yay.....so glad I saw this pop up! Love spending a bit of time with you 2! Have a great week! ❤️
Thank you so much!!!!! Hugs!
Hi, i am fairly new to your channel, love watching you. Thank you for bringing some laughter into our lives. Stay well.
Thank you so much for the kind words Virginia!!! We sure appreciate it! You stay well too!
Thank you so much for doing another video. I just love spending time stitching with you!
Thank you for your kind words Trudy!!!!
Hi sweet ladies, I'm delighted you did a floss tube today!!!! YAY!! Loved every minute of the video. Thanks for sharing with us. Love you both!!!! Happy stitching!
Thanks so much Sheila!!!! Take good care of yourself!
This is so full of fun despite these covid times a year later. A real tonic ❤️ the final “wash your hands you filthy animals” absolutely got me in stitches. It a family phrase of ours. Lol 😂 love you both so much 🌈🌈🌈
Thanks for sharing your wonderful projects with us! Stay well and keep stitching. 😁💕👍🏻
Thanks so much Patricia!!!!! Hope you are getting some good stitching time!
Love that box Brenda! My dad's middle name was Noel and that would be a fabulous tribute/memory box.
That would be a beautiful memory box!!!!! Hope you have the chart!
Once again, thank you for bringing joy and laughter. And now I am going to figure out what fabric and floss I need for some stash patterns and place an order with some shops! 👍💖
Thanks Bonnie!!!!!! You are helping to keep a shop running!!!! I wonder what you are going to kit up??? I know it will be some fun stuff! Hugs!
You two ladies are fantastic. You make my day and always keep me smiling. This morning I was looking at Snow Globe. Now I want to go get it out and start it. It is all kitted up. Stay safe and see you next week.
Did you start it yet Deb??? Hope so and hope that you are having lots of fun stitching it!!! Hugs!
You ladies are always a delight! I hope when this is all done ✅ I can meet you when you do your retreat in Shipshewana! Please ladies stay safe! I love all your projects. I took off from flying the month (flight attendant) of April and might do the same for May. My next project is All of Joys of Thine...and I also started Kringles! 😘
Thank you Denise!!! I hope we are all in Shipshewana in October!!!!! Glad you are taking some time off from flying and your next project is a great one!!! Happy Stitching!
Again I want to say how wonderfully kind you are to each other. This is so special.🥰
Thank you so much Mary....that is such a special thing to notice and say. Hugs!!!
Love you ladies...thank you for the laughs & all of the stash sharing. Love the desert island/prison lists. Laura, I got vanilla wafers yesterday too! 😁 paula in Midland, Tx
Really??? That is so cool that you got some Nilla Wafers too!!!! We can stitch and eat nilla wafers each in our place. Hugs to you Paula!
Thanks for sharing again today and for all the laughs. I enjoyed seeing Brenda's treasures from long ago. Laura cracks me up with her Nilla wafers...can't imagine those with Tab though. Love you both and look forward to next weekend.
Strangely, Nilla wafers and Tab go together.... until next time...take good care of yourself and Happy Stitching Jeanna!
Good to see you guys on an off week! My two cents on AotH....don't change the colors. I am done with mine, didn't change a single color. I know the January block seems a little dull, but believe me, one you start getting the other blocks in, you will love it! Laura, I have had Dutch Beauty kitted for years. Have never started. I have Maritime White for it. Stay well girls!
I was so excited to see the notification that you two made a video! Those colors you kitted for your Sewing Club book, Brenda, made my heart skip! Love it! I also loved the Just Nan scissor case and your other projects 😍! Laura, I laughed when you called out those “rich stitchers” to support the needlework stores. I am certain you would be doing so, if you could!
Thanks Julia!!!! Yes, if I won the lottery I would be placing orders all over the country! Thank you for your kind words!
Love watching your floss tube down here in New Zealand lovely work it brightens the day as we are in total lockdown take care.😀
Thanks so much Billie!!! You stay safe down there!!!!!!! Hugs!
Just such a bright spot in a bark time. Love you both and thank you for the laughs and for the looks at the lovely pieces. The prison/ desert island idea is genius!😍
Thanks so much Laurie!!! Hope you can find some worthy desert island choices in your stash!
Another fun video!! I will be glad when you can be back together again but this certainly works in the interim. You might check Pumpkin Hollow Stitches, she is doing AOTH and she changed her January and it looks really pretty. It wasn't drastic changes but just enough color to make it look really pretty. As always, I loved seeing all of your projects and your "prison" pieces were such fun too. I would definitely be so bored if we didn't have this FT community to follow while we stitch. Thank you so much; hugs and love to you both. Happy stitching.................
Thanks Pam!!! I saw Olivia's changes and need to really study them. You are right, they were beautiful. If we did not have this FT community I would have gone insane by now!!! Thank goodness we have each other!!! Hugs!
Thank you for your video today! I really needed it today. We have been in our homes for two weeks and things are still so uncertain. Your video and the sun shining today makes me happy!
Thank you Linda!!! These times are really hard so we need little bits of normalcy and a lot of stitching to carry us through. Hugs to you!!
Ladies you knocked it out if the park again. Even when you are not in the same room, you are a duo to be dealt with. Happy stitching ladies
That is just the sweetest compliment! Thank you so much Linda!!
Thank you ladies for this video its always a pleasure to watch you!! Sending you much love from isolation in West Sussex, England - Kelly x
Thanks so much Kelly! I hope you are doing okay and that you have a lot of stash to stitch from. Hugs!!!
I cannot tell you how excited I was when I got a notification yesterday morning that you put up a video. At that same moment Carol texted me to tell me. Holy moly, we had to race to get ready to watch together. I think my three prison, desert island pieces would be Ann Dale, Consider the Lillies and Jane Tindall. I had better be stranded a long time. ;)
I would definitely take those three samplers with me!!!!!
You decided we need you! Thank you for bringing us P-O-Mind :)
Loving your BAPs and hoping you all stay safe and healthy.
Thanks so much Angela!!! Hope all is well with you too!!!!!!!!
I love you two and the friendship you share. You are a highlight of my Sunday.
Thank you for such kind words Laurie!
Tks for sharing. Take care, stay safe, Happy Stitching❗️🥰Miriam
Thanks Miriam!!!!! You stay safe too!!!
Together, Apart you guys are #1. Keep on Keeping on!
Thanks so much Yvonne!!!! Hugs!
So happy you both are still appearing in my living room! One of the biggest disappointments for me with the Dying to Stitch retreat being cancelled was not meeting you! 😞Thanks for making the effort to continue with these videos. Really brighten my day!❤️
That is one of our biggest disappointments....not meeting you Valerie. But I know that one day we will meet and have a grand old time!!!! It is such a big bummer that we are not going to DTS! Rats!
And again you two ladies have topped the charts of my flosstube watching. You ladies have now totally shoved me into the blackbird world. That’s it I am ordering that sew along book.. and the ohh la la! Thanks for sharing your world of beautiful stitching. Hugs ~Victoria
I am so excited that you are ordering those two books!!!! They are so wonderful. You could probably stitch for two years straight out of them! Enjoy!!! and stay well!
I hope you and your families are doing well. Thank you for the bonus video today! As always I really enjoy videos, especially the three you’d take with you on a desert island or to prison! 😁
Thank you so much Grace!! Hope you are well too!!!
With love from Louisiana ❤️ Thank you guys for this!! I really needed it today!! Y'all make me smile and laugh 😊 May God keep your families and mine in His grace!! Love to you both!! Hugs💕
Much love and thanks.
