I'm still on video #90, so I haven't seen this one yet. I just wanted to jump in and say that I had never done a reproduction sampler. I never really had any interest in stitching them. Until I started watching your flosstube. You have inspired me to do a reproduction sampler. I started (barely though) Fiona Rutherford from The Wishing Thorn. Thank you for the inspiration.
This makes us so excited! Thrilled!!!!! So happy that you want to stitch a sampler. Fiona Rutherford is a perfect sampler too!!!!! Pinning this comment so that we can always remember this moment. Thank you!
Your comment about loving being home warmed my heart because to me there is nothing better! Since retiring and my hubby passing away, I’ve become a real homebody and love it!
That was the quickest two hours I've spent in a long time. I laughed, smiled until my jaws hurt & had tears in my eyes a few times. Absolutely loved watching you, hearing about your travels, seeing your stitching, enjoying your friendship that you share with us all so willingly. I live being part of this community. Take care, best wishes from 🇮🇪
If Mike doesn’t think you’re funny, he’s crazy! The endorphins flowed as I laughed and smiled through your podcast! You are both such treasures 🥰 Thank you for the gift of joy you give us!
Thank you Bernice!!!! Mike just wants us to be more "jokey" sometimes, but I tell him that people like us just the way we are. But don't be concerned, he is a very good egg who fully supports our floss tube.
Just finished watching, and wanted to say thank you for the mention. Thank you so much for reaching out to me there in the room as well. The Sampler Symposium was my first-ever retreat, and I was much overtaken by everything and everyone. I am genuinely touched that I was accepted and loved in that room during the Show & Share. Very healing and very grateful for you and Laura.
Thank you for your kindness regarding my presentation on Irish Samplers and for mentioning the Sampler school workshop at Hobbyhouse! You two are the best love you both!❤☘️
That Michigan game just about knocked my socks off!! I kept saying to my husband-- just imagine how Brenda is cheering and feeling so happy! Glad to see both of you back, I have missed your smiling faces.
Hi ladies. So nice to see you again. What an amazing collection from The Attic…I feel I missed out on so much…but it’s been added to the list!😂. Yet another great video. Thank you
Loved this Floss Tube! Such great info on tons of charts, and loved all your new haul. Im on a “no buy any stitching charts” in January and can’t wait til it’s over. Sounds like the retreat was perfect! Can’t wait to see your next floss tube. ❤❤
Souch a great 2 hours! Had to watch you in installments, but loved it. Happy birthday to both of you. Laura, you go girl! You are making so much progress. Brenda, glad you had an awesome trip. Looking forward to seeing more in 2 weeks. I too am a homebody.
Glad you are back on the tube. You both were missed!! It sounds like you had an amazing trip to Europe, however, home IS the best place to be. Just a side note, I have to shout out our KC Chiefs!! I live in Chiefs Nation and I am so proud of them. I am looking forward to seeing what you get done these next 2 weeks. I haven't posted anything on Instagram for over a year and I think it is about time to show you my progress on the unfavorite sampler I am doing LOL. Kudos to Laura and you wonderful stitching. You are really dedicated. Love you both. Sharon in Kansas
Thank you for your kind words Brenda and Laura ❤❤ I’m thrilled you found WIP inspiration from my 10 starts/10 middles /10 finishes idea 💡 !! I enjoyed your video and company today as usual ❤❤❤ Until next time, happy stitching !!
What wonderful new treasures and gifts. You brighten so many lives in the Cross-Stitch community. You motivate us to try new things and you help out lots of LNS’ because we see new things that we ‘NEED’! 😉😉😉 Can’t wait to see you in two weeks.
So much fun! Glad to see you back again. I’m a home bird too Brenda. No matter how good some place is, I just want to go home ☺️ Happy 2024 to you both.
You are great, you are funny, you are entertaining 😄, and you inspire me to spend money 😮😅 and to keep stitching. Now I have to travel to look for the Liberty 😂
I've missed you girls! What a great show you had today. Loved all of your stitching, patterns, threads - all of it! Thanks for the video see you in two weeks. ps happy belated birthday to both of you!
You ladies had me in stitches today (no pun intended). I’m a homebody and even though I love to see new places, there is definitely no place like home. Welcome back!
There is no place like home with all our creature comforts and stitching! Thank you for sharing all those amazing samplers, can I buy some extra time! Happy stitching💚
So good to see you, again! I haven’t managed to watch the whole thing yet, but Brenda, I gotta say I can totally relate to staying home. I want to travel the world, but at the same time I don’t like to travel and love staying home. LOL! Quite the conundrum.
It's so good to see you. I'm happy that you'll be back in 2 weeks. You were missed. What a wonderful trip Brenda. Laura, I loved your finishes and all of your Christmas patterns. Happy stitching!
It was so lovely to see you and hear about all your lovely adventures! I took in an hour yesterday, and saved the rest for today. So glad I did! Made a promise to myself in mid-November that I would not buy anything else for a year. Sigh. Maybe I can get something for my birthday? Laura - so happy for your progress!! Wonderfully encouraging. Looking forward to seeing you in two weeks!
I know you hear it often, and it's well deserved, that you two provide a wonderful show for us. I'm not your target audience, per se, but I absolutely enjoy each and every episode, and always look forward to hearing and seeing what you've been up to, what you've been stitching on, and your latest stitching adventures.
Another wonderful video ladies. Keep up the amazing stitching. Bob and I want to thank you so much for the shoutout. Our Etsy shop has been so very, very busy this week….ALL thanks to you Laura. We LOVE you!!
Thank you for watching Celeste!!! By the way I am now obsessed with Pineberry Lane Sarah Barker!!!! I know I have her somewhere in my stash but have to go home and find her. You showed her on your most recent FT and she is so lovely!!!!
Glad you are back! Brenda, it was so good to meet you at The Attic. I'm the one from Michigan. Hopefully some day I will meet Laura, too. It was an honor to meet you and to go to The Attic. Two things marked off of my Stitchy Bucket List. :)
I enjoyed so much all your news of trips, getting stitching projects finished, shopping hauls and those cute girl bobbin holders with Brenda and the Serial starter on them! Super cute but our Laura will be needing to change her name to Serial Finisher ha ha! Yeah for Michigan’s win and Brenda you’re such a great fan all through the season. Oh and the Rose Band Sampler pattern from The Attic is gorgeous as well as so many more new patterns you shared. I’m trying very hard to not add to my large collection of patterns but I’m sorely tempted today to buy all the pretty things😀. Enjoy your stitching time until February’s next floss tube.
So glad you ladies are back. Laura!! WOW! I’m drinking a Diet Coke in your honor of all your finishes. Now I’m going to organize my WIPS the same way. Samantha is a good Flosstube person to watch. Hope both of you have a fabulous New Year, full of awesome stitching. From-The Tab shirt woman who met you Hobby House Needlearts. ❤❤
I couldn't wait until tonight to watch, so I'm watching at work with the door closed. Sometimes you just gotta break the rules with Brenda and Laura!!!!
It was so good to have both of you back! Brenda, what exciting travels you had! Don't know how you managed to get all those goodies back home with you! Laura, you had some beautiful finishes! Can't wait to see all the things you didn't get to show today. Hope it warms up for you both soon!
So nice to see you back! That was a very quick two hours, filled with lots of joy, laughter and stitchy goodness. Thanks for the fun time, and happy stitching, Arleen
Another great floss tube! And Brenda I really want to thank you for your special comments regarding Jean and how she creates such a unique and very special place at the Attic where samplers and friendships rule. You speak for all of us!!!
Beautiful gifts beautiful sampler patterns! Laura, yoiur finishes are BEAUTIFUL!!!! I am going to Paris in the fall, fingers crossed I have some free time to do some crafty shopping.
Oh ladies. So good to have you back and what a fabulous show. Just look at all the fabulous comments. Don’t ever leave us you’re the best tonic we stitchers could ever have. Happy birthdays and love to you both. Xx❤
Glad your back from your trip and love all your goodies and maybe one day I could go to a retreat and and be surrounded by by all you wonderful stitchers and see and learn so much more. I’ve been stitching about a year and haven’t done many samplers as veteran stitchers have done. I’ve finished 2 samplers and have 2 to 3 ships and a few haven’t started. Trying to buildup on my stashes and all the things that I want and would love to get. But anyways I love watching you ladies and look forward to seeing all your things. And I too follow Liz the Wandering Stitcher and love her and hope to see you Brenda on her Instagram show see ya later !!!🙂🙂🙂
Shoot, 2 hrs is nothing. I could listen to you two all day! You’re everything that’s good in the world - kindness, humor, humility, creativity. I could go on! Keep sending out your positive energy. I’ll be right here. Waiting for a 4 hr video 😉❤.
First time here for me…love it! You guys have such a great friendship and fun together. Amazed at how much stitching is going on. But then, I’m a newbie, with 1 project down and one about to start 😊
Well, I had to giggle when you said 'hubby doesn't find y'all funny' - silly man!! I did enjoy the travels today and all of your absolutely beautiful shares. Home body I am, but my sons push this mom to get out so at 80 years of age I substitue teach 6th-12th grades and love it!!! Thank you for sharing all your talents.
Wow!!! That is great Judith!!! That will keep your mind young! And the great part of going out for the day is....coming back home!!!! It really makes you appreciate it!
Thank you my friends for the mention🥰 You guys were channeling your inner Liz in this one! I love all the banter! Mike would love this one because you guys brought the laughs for sure!!!! So many things added to my must buy list! Loved every minute visiting with you both😘
The only thing better than watching this delightfully long video was meeting you in person Brenda! You were definitely a pinch me moment at the Symposium! Jean is amazing and my first retreat did not disappoint in any way. I got no stitching done but now I realize why that happens. The community and the love in the room is the reason we attend. Laura... someday I hope to meet you too!! I love all of your Christmas Ornaments and want to add one a month too! Happy stitching and stay warm and cozy~ Love you ladies!🌹🌹🌹
So happy to hear that you had a fabulous first retreat Katherine!!! We just knew you would!!!!!!!! Hope we are all 3 at a retreat together in the near future!
It was so lovely to meet you at my first ever Sampler Symposium Brenda. I love watching you and Laura. The symposium was very special as you said. From knowing no one when I walked in the door I am now part of a Whats app group of stitchy friends I met at the symposium (including the lovely Steph and Dawn) and I think we will be friends for life. Cross stitch rules!x
Loved your recap of Sampler Symposium Brenda. I agree that seeing the next generation empracing this craft is so heart-warming. Laura, great finishes and plans. I'm giving myself stitching assignments too but seem to overestimate what I can get done.
Connections: Totally happy just being at home! Michigan's Success! Being with like minded stitchers who love to talk about stitching. Not other people. The joy of potential in new patterns new fabric and new stuff! Welcome home Brenda! Happy organized stitching Laura!
Delighted to visit with you now you're back . Your friendship and faithful cheering on of other stitchers, designers and makers is precious gift that's so wonderful. 2 hours of smiling and laughing as I stitched along, thank you ladies. Blessings to you both from Northern Ireland xx
I adore being home. I just spent the weekend away with the whole family. 37 of us. Very nice to see everyone but I was soooo happy to be back home. Laura, I have been wanting to stitch that little giraffe since 2022. When you pulled yours out I immediately ceased stitching my Fruits of Plenty, I grabbed a 20 ct Sparkle Gray/Silver by Wichelt and began the giraffe. He's so darn cute. Thanks for the inspiration. And speaking of inspiration, Brenda, I think I need to dust tomorrow. 🤣
Lots of goodness to see today. I enjoyed seeing you again. Laura, I'm impressed with your finishes, and Brenda, I'm so glad you enjoyed your trips. Stay warm and keep stitching!
Welcome back! So pleased to hear you had a great trip. Your treasures from both London and Paris will bring you so much joy. Thank you for sharing. Your stitching as always inspires me to keep stitching. Laura, I really am impressed with all your finishes.
So glad you're back! Those 4 weeks seemed like an eternity! When I first found you on TH-cam, I went back and watched all your previous videos. You two are my favorite stitchers to watch! I have been hesitant to comment before, because Brenda - I am a very proud alumni of The Ohio State University and bleed Scarlet and Gray. BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER - I just enjoy you guys so much!! Congrats on the Natty!
Oh, talking about Marshall Fields reminded me of a trip I made to Chicago with college friends. Marshall Fields was incredible and recently my mother gave me a tote bag I had brought her with a design of the iconic tiles. #buyallthetotebags Thanks for the memories; it was fun to be in my 29s again, even if it was only in my mind.
What a wonderful memory!!!!!! I have seen Marshall Field's gift boxes at antique shops. I remember I used to keep my Seventeen magazines in one of the Christmas gift boxes. The good old days!
Girls. I couldn't stop smiling during this cross stitch/comedy/enabling video. You two are darling. AND THANK YOU for the inspiration on how to sort the projects!
What a blast this video is! I laughed, I oo’d and awww’d, and it took me hours to watch the whole video….but I enjoyed every minute of it. You two light up flosstube and I just want to thank you for the joy you bring into my life. Blessings to you both. ❤❤
You are both so sweet in your expressions of love and appreciation for the stitching community. Brenda’s comment about her “samplers lasting longer because the kids won’t give them to Good Will” made me laugh! Thanks for inviting us all into your world.
Firstly, Welcome back from Europe Brenda! So glad you had a great time and so happy you got to go to some necessary stitching places. I would have camped out at Sajou for sure! And thank you for showing us all the goodies!! I know the video was the longest but it was also very gratifying to know that we were getting our much needed dosage of you and Laura. It's just not the same without you two on Flosstube. And Laura!! 4 Finishes??? Dear lord, your needles were smoking for sure and I loved every one of your finishes. Of course, between you and Brenda my wish list got even longer than it already it is. Not sure whether to be happy or dismayed about that! LOL And your starts too! Honestly, I feel like a turtle trying to keep up with you two and others that I see on Flosstube. Sigh... Love you both and so looking forward to next time! Hugs and Love, Jennifer
I forgot to ask: does the strawberry waxer leave a color residue being that it is in color rather than a natural beeswax color? @@brendaandtheserialstarter2410
This was a TREMENDOUS video! So much wonderfulness! I had to break up the watching because of stuff I had to do(watch the Chiefs) and had a funeral of a friend & neighbor to attend today with treacherous travel on icy roads. A GREAT way to spend the rest of the day while stitching. Thank you! Looking forward to the next chapter in 2 weeks.
You guys are hilarious. What a great video!! I absolutely loved everything single thing you showed and talked about (as I always do). I love the idea of categorizing your WIPs, Laura, I can't wait to see what you decide!
OH MY Goodness Gals.....How I have missed you! I would have watched for another 2 hours!! Brenda, I know you had a fabulous vacation, but I was thrilled to see how happy you are to be HOME. I'm right there with you..there is NO place like Home (& in my stitching chair). There are so many who don't understand but then when we meet those who do, it is a beautiful gift! Laura, your new found plan for organizing/stitching/finishing is a joy to see and I hope you keep doing what you love. There is a thrill of the start, joy in the journey of stitching & such a sense of accomplishment in the Finish! Your video was chocked full of goodness, laughter, and my personal favorite...budget busting shopping! I loved every minute of it and can't wait to see you again in 2 weeks. Stay warm & stitch on!! xoxo
So glad to see you both this afternoon! I sat down today to attempt to put in the final over one stitches on the Scarlett House Home is where my Samplers are - I had my size 10 beading needle all ready to go -- and then Brenda said she was going to skip the over one stitches - Thank you Brenda! I made some modifications and now the little sampler is done! And Laura! Who are you? So many finishes! Wow - they are all wonderful! Thank you Brenda for describing the wonderful atmosphere at the Attic - I hope to get there some day. I look forward to seeing you in two weeks - a month was too long. Stay wam - I thought 21 degrees in Northern Virginia was bad!
I also love to be at home & stitch. What a great collection of goodies & haul. Laura, your finishes are very pretty. Samplers & Primitives has an Etsy shop, her designs with roses in them are just gorgeous. Congrats to Michigan! Marilyn
It's so wonderful to see both of you!!! I am so happy for your family trip, Brenda! It sounds amazing! Laura, your finishes are beautiful!!! I love your Christmas stitching and your Christmas colours! I was not in the Christmas ornament stitching mode this year (although I finished over 20 that my sister stitched). The Attic sounds like such an incredible place - one day! Thanks as always ladies and happy stitching!
LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF THESE TWO HOURS! This episode was SO CHOCK FULL OF GOODNESS, I’ll be watching again, this time with pen and paper because…OMG the new haul! Keep warm, and I’ll see you ladies in two weeks! 😊💖
I'm still on video #90, so I haven't seen this one yet. I just wanted to jump in and say that I had never done a reproduction sampler. I never really had any interest in stitching them. Until I started watching your flosstube. You have inspired me to do a reproduction sampler. I started (barely though) Fiona Rutherford from The Wishing Thorn. Thank you for the inspiration.
This makes us so excited! Thrilled!!!!! So happy that you want to stitch a sampler. Fiona Rutherford is a perfect sampler too!!!!! Pinning this comment so that we can always remember this moment. Thank you!
Your comment about loving being home warmed my heart because to me there is nothing better! Since retiring and my hubby passing away, I’ve become a real homebody and love it!
Sending you a big warm hug and our sympathy on the passing of your husband. It is good to know that you are enjoying your home and being a homebody.
That was the quickest two hours I've spent in a long time. I laughed, smiled until my jaws hurt & had tears in my eyes a few times. Absolutely loved watching you, hearing about your travels, seeing your stitching, enjoying your friendship that you share with us all so willingly. I live being part of this community.

Thank you so much Anne Marie!!!!!!! That is so so kind of you! Hugs!
If Mike doesn’t think you’re funny, he’s crazy! The endorphins flowed as I laughed and smiled through your podcast! You are both such treasures 🥰 Thank you for the gift of joy you give us!
Thank you Bernice!!!! Mike just wants us to be more "jokey" sometimes, but I tell him that people like us just the way we are. But don't be concerned, he is a very good egg who fully supports our floss tube.

Thank you Pam!!! I wonder what will be in your cart in February! Have fun!
So happy you are back! I was going into withdrawal. I look forward to your broadcasts every two weeks. You lift my spirits and inspire my stitching.
Thank you very kindly Barbara!
Great to see you two again! Brenda - I am a homebody too, BUT I loved London when I visited! Great video again!!!
Thank you Beth!
Souch a great 2 hours! Had to watch you in installments, but loved it. Happy birthday to both of you. Laura, you go girl! You are making so much progress. Brenda, glad you had an awesome trip. Looking forward to seeing more in 2 weeks. I too am a homebody.
Homebodies unite! Thank you Margaret!
Glad you are back on the tube. You both were missed!! It sounds like you had an amazing trip to Europe, however, home IS the best place to be. Just a side note, I have to shout out our KC Chiefs!! I live in Chiefs Nation and I am so proud of them. I am looking forward to seeing what you get done these next 2 weeks. I haven't posted anything on Instagram for over a year and I think it is about time to show you my progress on the unfavorite sampler I am doing LOL. Kudos to Laura and you wonderful stitching. You are really dedicated. Love you both. Sharon in Kansas
Yes, Sharon, you must post on IG! and tag us so we know!!!! Hope your Chiefs do well at their next game!
You ladies are so funny to hear and see. :-) you make my day. Love to stich again after many years doing another crafting.
So glad you are back to stitching!!!! Thank you for your kind comments!

Well worth waiting for, thank you ladies for a wonderful afternoon ! 💕🪡🧵
Thank you for watching Helga!
You ladies had me in stitches today (no pun intended). I’m a homebody and even though I love to see new places, there is definitely no place like home. Welcome back!
We agree with you 100%!!!!
There is no place like home with all our creature comforts and stitching! Thank you for sharing all those amazing samplers, can I buy some extra time! Happy stitching💚
Thank you!!! Yes, that is what we need to buy...more time!
So good to see you, again! I haven’t managed to watch the whole thing yet, but Brenda, I gotta say I can totally relate to staying home. I want to travel the world, but at the same time I don’t like to travel and love staying home. LOL! Quite the conundrum.
We have that same conundrum!!!!
It's so good to see you. I'm happy that you'll be back in 2 weeks. You were missed. What a wonderful trip Brenda. Laura, I loved your finishes and all of your Christmas patterns. Happy stitching!
Thank you so much Lori!!!!
It was so lovely to see you and hear about all your lovely adventures! I took in an hour yesterday, and saved the rest for today. So glad I did! Made a promise to myself in mid-November that I would not buy anything else for a year. Sigh. Maybe I can get something for my birthday? Laura - so happy for your progress!! Wonderfully encouraging. Looking forward to seeing you in two weeks!
You will be so proud of yourself if you stick to your plan Marcia!! I think you should make an exception for your birthday though!!!
Welcome home I am glad you had fun. Thank you so much for sharing all the stitching goodness ❤❤
Thank you Michele!
Fabulous finishes ladies! Glad you had a fantastic trip! Nice to see back!
Thank you Leslie!
I was so happy to see you ladies! I really missed seeing you. I totally understand being happy to be at home. I am the same way.

Thank you for the little signs you make to give us the names of different floss tubes to watch. It is so helpful.
Thank you Suzann!

Laura, your Two Red Houses sampler is lovely! So enjoy watching you two.
Thank you!!!
Glad you are back! Brenda, it was so good to meet you at The Attic. I'm the one from Michigan. Hopefully some day I will meet Laura, too. It was an honor to meet you and to go to The Attic. Two things marked off of my Stitchy Bucket List. :)
Thank you Dalene! I hope to meet you someday too, but am so happy you met Brenda at the Attic (the most magical place on Earth!)
I enjoyed so much all your news of trips, getting stitching projects finished, shopping hauls and those cute girl bobbin holders with Brenda and the Serial starter on them!

Thank you Lynn!!!!! #tabstitchersunite!
I get to visit the Attic for the first time next week!! SO excited and love to you ladies from CO!
Oh how EXCITING!!!!!!!! You are going to have so much fun!!!!!
I couldn't wait until tonight to watch, so I'm watching at work with the door closed. Sometimes you just gotta break the rules with Brenda and Laura!!!!
Yes! Break those rules for cross stitch content! Thank you Laurie!
It was so good to have both of you back! Brenda, what exciting travels you had! Don't know how you managed to get all those goodies back home with you! Laura, you had some beautiful finishes! Can't wait to see all the things you didn't get to show today. Hope it warms up for you both soon!
Thank you Maureen!!!
So nice to see you back! That was a very quick two hours, filled with lots of joy, laughter and stitchy goodness. Thanks for the fun time, and happy stitching, Arleen
Thank you so much Arleen!
I’m here for the next 3 hour episode 🤣 glad y’all had great holidays and I enjoyed catching up with you both. 😊
Thank you!!!
Another great floss tube! And Brenda I really want to thank you for your special comments regarding Jean and how she creates such a unique and very special place at the Attic where samplers and friendships rule. You speak for all of us!!!
Yes, Brenda described Jean and the Attic perfectly!!! Thank you Carrie!
Beautiful gifts beautiful sampler patterns! Laura, yoiur finishes are BEAUTIFUL!!!! I am going to Paris in the fall, fingers crossed I have some free time to do some crafty shopping.
We sure hope you get to Sajou or one of the stores in Paris Linda!!! Have a wonderful trip!
Oh ladies. So good to have you back and what a fabulous show. Just look at all the fabulous comments. Don’t ever leave us you’re the best tonic we stitchers could ever have. Happy birthdays and love to you both. Xx❤
Thank you so very much Kath. Your comments are the ones that keep us going!
Thank you so much for visiting and sharing ❤ you guys make me laugh so much 😂
Thank you for watching!
Glad your back from your trip and love all your goodies and maybe one day I could go to a retreat and and be surrounded by by all you wonderful stitchers and see and learn so much more. I’ve been stitching about a year and haven’t done many samplers as veteran stitchers have done. I’ve finished 2 samplers and have 2 to 3 ships and a few haven’t started. Trying to buildup on my stashes and all the things that I want and would love to get. But anyways I love watching you ladies and look forward to seeing all your things. And I too follow Liz the Wandering Stitcher and love her and hope to see you Brenda on her Instagram show see ya later !!!🙂🙂🙂
Thank you so much! You will for sure see Brenda on Liz's IG Live at some point! Loved hearing about your stitching!
Shoot, 2 hrs is nothing. I could listen to you two all day! You’re everything that’s good in the world - kindness, humor, humility, creativity. I could go on! Keep sending out your positive energy. I’ll be right here. Waiting for a 4 hr video 😉❤.
Thank you so much!!!!! Okay, next goal is a 4 hour video!!!!
Beautiful sampler finishes Laura!
Thank you very much!
First time here for me…love it! You guys have such a great friendship and fun together. Amazed at how much stitching is going on. But then, I’m a newbie, with 1 project down and one about to start 😊
Welcome to the stitching community Rose!!!!!!! How exciting!!!!!!!
Well, I had to giggle when you said 'hubby doesn't find y'all funny' - silly man!! I did enjoy the travels today and all of your absolutely beautiful shares. Home body I am, but my sons push this mom to get out so at 80 years of age I substitue teach 6th-12th grades and love it!!! Thank you for sharing all your talents.
Wow!!! That is great Judith!!! That will keep your mind young! And the great part of going out for the day is....coming back home!!!! It really makes you appreciate it!
Thank you my friends for the mention🥰 You guys were channeling your inner Liz in this one! I love all the banter! Mike would love this one because you guys brought the laughs for sure!!!! So many things added to my must buy list! Loved every minute visiting with you both😘
Thank you dear buddy!!!!!
The only thing better than watching this delightfully long video was meeting you in person Brenda! You were definitely a pinch me moment at the Symposium! Jean is amazing and my first retreat did not disappoint in any way. I got no stitching done but now I realize why that happens. The community and the love in the room is the reason we attend. Laura... someday I hope to meet you too!! I love all of your Christmas Ornaments and want to add one a month too! Happy stitching and stay warm and cozy~ Love you ladies!🌹🌹🌹
So happy to hear that you had a fabulous first retreat Katherine!!! We just knew you would!!!!!!!! Hope we are all 3 at a retreat together in the near future!
Fingers crossed ❤🥰
I just love watching you two. Thank you so much for making videos and for all the inspiration and fun.
Thank you for watching Lorraine!
Blackbird and baby Yoda… a combination made in heaven! 😂. Love you gals!
Thank you Karen!
It was so lovely to meet you at my first ever Sampler Symposium Brenda. I love watching you and Laura. The symposium was very special as you said. From knowing no one when I walked in the door I am now part of a Whats app group of stitchy friends I met at the symposium (including the lovely Steph and Dawn) and I think we will be friends for life. Cross stitch rules!x
That is so very wonderful!!!!! So happy for you that you are now hooked up with a bunch of stitching friends!!!!!! Fabulous!
Loved your recap of Sampler Symposium Brenda. I agree that seeing the next generation empracing this craft is so heart-warming. Laura, great finishes and plans. I'm giving myself stitching assignments too but seem to overestimate what I can get done.
Thank you Roberta!!!!! I wish we could stitch more hours in the day!
Connections: Totally happy just being at home! Michigan's Success! Being with like minded stitchers who love to talk about stitching. Not other people. The joy of potential in new patterns new fabric and new stuff! Welcome home Brenda! Happy organized stitching Laura!
Thank you for that great summary Rebecca!
Missed your smiling faces and laughter. There are no words for all the amazing things you showed. Way to go Laura for your finishes.❤
Thank you Nancy!!
You two are amazing, have a wonderful two weeks ♥️♥️
Thank you Christine!
Thank you for sharing the laughs and all your beautiful projects love watching you!😊
Thank you so much Esther!
Delighted to visit with you now you're back . Your friendship and faithful cheering on of other stitchers, designers and makers is precious gift that's so wonderful. 2 hours of smiling and laughing as I stitched along, thank you ladies. Blessings to you both from Northern Ireland xx
Thank you so much Aimee!!!!!! So kind of you!
I adore being home. I just spent the weekend away with the whole family. 37 of us. Very nice to see everyone but I was soooo happy to be back home. Laura, I have been wanting to stitch that little giraffe since 2022. When you pulled yours out I immediately ceased stitching my Fruits of Plenty, I grabbed a 20 ct Sparkle Gray/Silver by Wichelt and began the giraffe. He's so darn cute. Thanks for the inspiration. And speaking of inspiration, Brenda, I think I need to dust tomorrow. 🤣
Thank you Alison! So glad you were inspired to stitch that cute giraffe! How did the dusting go???????????????
Er, um dusting? What dusting? 😂😂😂 But on the bright side, I completed my little giraffe.
Lots of goodness to see today. I enjoyed seeing you again. Laura, I'm impressed with your finishes, and Brenda, I'm so glad you enjoyed your trips. Stay warm and keep stitching!
Thank you Kathy!!!
I love that Elizabeth sampler, you are one lucky girl
I know!!! I really am! Thanks Aura!
Welcome back! So pleased to hear you had a great trip. Your treasures from both London and Paris will bring you so much joy. Thank you for sharing. Your stitching as always inspires me to keep stitching. Laura, I really am impressed with all your finishes.
Thank you so much Carol!!!!
So glad you're back! Those 4 weeks seemed like an eternity! When I first found you on TH-cam, I went back and watched all your previous videos. You two are my favorite stitchers to watch! I have been hesitant to comment before, because Brenda - I am a very proud alumni of The Ohio State University and bleed Scarlet and Gray. BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER - I just enjoy you guys so much!! Congrats on the Natty!
I went back too!! I finished over christmas and then they were gone for a month, bad timing on my part!!!😂
Thank you Leslie!!!!! I know you and Brenda can put aside your college rivalries for stitching!
@@scoobers3493 Thanks for watching all of that!!!!!
Hello ladies. This was so fun!! Everything was amazing. So glad you are both back! Take care
Thank you Julie!
So glad your back. we missed you and your cheery dispositions. Laura, your going to have to change your name to the Serial Finishers. Good job.
Thank you Debbie!!
Oh, talking about Marshall Fields reminded me of a trip I made to Chicago with college friends. Marshall Fields was incredible and recently my mother gave me a tote bag I had brought her with a design of the iconic tiles. #buyallthetotebags Thanks for the memories; it was fun to be in my 29s again, even if it was only in my mind.
What a wonderful memory!!!!!! I have seen Marshall Field's gift boxes at antique shops. I remember I used to keep my Seventeen magazines in one of the Christmas gift boxes. The good old days!
Girls. I couldn't stop smiling during this cross stitch/comedy/enabling video. You two are darling. AND THANK YOU for the inspiration on how to sort the projects!
Thank you for watching Tammy!!!!!
What a blast this video is! I laughed, I oo’d and awww’d, and it took me hours to watch the whole video….but I enjoyed every minute of it. You two light up flosstube and I just want to thank you for the joy you bring into my life. Blessings to you both. ❤❤
Thank you so very much for your kind comments! They mean the world to us!
You are both so sweet in your expressions of love and appreciation for the stitching community. Brenda’s comment about her “samplers lasting longer because the kids won’t give them to Good Will” made me laugh! Thanks for inviting us all into your world.
Thank you for joining us Leslie!
So good to see you ladies again. You have been missed!!
Thank you Kay!
Firstly, Welcome back from Europe Brenda! So glad you had a great time and so happy you got to go to some necessary stitching places. I would have camped out at Sajou for sure! And thank you for showing us all the goodies!! I know the video was the longest but it was also very gratifying to know that we were getting our much needed dosage of you and Laura. It's just not the same without you two on Flosstube. And Laura!! 4 Finishes??? Dear lord, your needles were smoking for sure and I loved every one of your finishes. Of course, between you and Brenda my wish list got even longer than it already it is. Not sure whether to be happy or dismayed about that! LOL And your starts too! Honestly, I feel like a turtle trying to keep up with you two and others that I see on Flosstube. Sigh... Love you both and so looking forward to next time!
Hugs and Love,
Jennifer
Thank you so much for all your wonderful enthusiasm Jennifer!!!! As long as we are happy with what we area stitching...all is well!
I forgot to ask: does the strawberry waxer leave a color residue being that it is in color rather than a natural beeswax color? @@brendaandtheserialstarter2410
This was a TREMENDOUS video! So much wonderfulness! I had to break up the watching because of stuff I had to do(watch the Chiefs) and had a funeral of a friend & neighbor to attend today with treacherous travel on icy roads. A GREAT way to spend the rest of the day while stitching. Thank you! Looking forward to the next chapter in 2 weeks.
Thank you Lois!
Welcome back! I have missed shopping vicariously through you two. LOL. Also, thanks for telling us about Nicola's (HATS) videos. She is so charming.
Thank you Debbie!
You guys are hilarious. What a great video!! I absolutely loved everything single thing you showed and talked about (as I always do). I love the idea of categorizing your WIPs, Laura, I can't wait to see what you decide!
Thank you Emily! I am really hepped up about it!
OH MY Goodness Gals.....How I have missed you! I would have watched for another 2 hours!! Brenda, I know you had a fabulous vacation, but I was thrilled to see how happy you are to be HOME. I'm right there with you..there is NO place like Home (& in my stitching chair). There are so many who don't understand but then when we meet those who do, it is a beautiful gift! Laura, your new found plan for organizing/stitching/finishing is a joy to see and I hope you keep doing what you love. There is a thrill of the start, joy in the journey of stitching & such a sense of accomplishment in the Finish! Your video was chocked full of goodness, laughter, and my personal favorite...budget busting shopping! I loved every minute of it and can't wait to see you again in 2 weeks. Stay warm & stitch on!! xoxo
Thank you so much Barbara! Your sweet comment give us such joy. Hugs1
We took the kids to London and Paris this Summer and it was a trip of a lifetime! Such a joy that you were able to do that.
Yay!!!!! Trips are so fabulous!
You ladies are hilarious and so fun to watch. Your energy is contagious. Glad you’re back ❤
Thank you very kindly Karen!
So glad to see you both this afternoon! I sat down today to attempt to put in the final over one stitches on the Scarlett House Home is where my Samplers are - I had my size 10 beading needle all ready to go -- and then Brenda said she was going to skip the over one stitches - Thank you Brenda! I made some modifications and now the little sampler is done!
And Laura! Who are you? So many finishes! Wow - they are all wonderful!
Thank you Brenda for describing the wonderful atmosphere at the Attic - I hope to get there some day.
I look forward to seeing you in two weeks - a month was too long.
Stay wam - I thought 21 degrees in Northern Virginia was bad!
Thank you for your fabulous comments Trudy! Glad Brenda was able to save you from the over one!
This is the best episode ever. thank you. I liked all the company names to shop at, the trip summary, haul, stitching and all the rest.
Thank you Anne!!!! We had fun too!
Wow, that's a lot of eye candy! You are blessed with stitchy friends 🪡🧵✂💌
We sure are! Thank you Susan!
Love you ladies! You are so sweet and I love learning all about things with you! So much info, ideas and fun! xxx
Thank you Elizabeth!
I also love to be at home & stitch.
What a great collection of goodies & haul.
Laura, your finishes are very pretty.
Samplers & Primitives has an Etsy shop, her designs with roses in them are just gorgeous.
Congrats to Michigan!
Marilyn
Thank you Marilyn!!
It's so wonderful to see both of you!!! I am so happy for your family trip, Brenda! It sounds amazing! Laura, your finishes are beautiful!!! I love your Christmas stitching and your Christmas colours! I was not in the Christmas ornament stitching mode this year (although I finished over 20 that my sister stitched). The Attic sounds like such an incredible place - one day! Thanks as always ladies and happy stitching!
Hope you can get to the Attic in the near future Wanda! Thank you for your kind comments!
LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF THESE TWO HOURS! This episode was SO CHOCK FULL OF GOODNESS, I’ll be watching again, this time with pen and paper because…OMG the new haul! Keep warm, and I’ll see you ladies in two weeks! 😊💖
