I love Brenda’s face when Laura pulled out a ‘clump’ of DMC! Not in compliance, Laura! 😂 Laura, I feel exactly the same way about 1 strand on 36ct. It is my happy place. Yet when Shepherds Bush charts tell me to use 1 strand on 28ct fabric, I LOVE how that looks, too! Elizabeth Cockerill looks BEAUTIFUL on that fabric. ❤️ Thank you so much for stitching her. 😊 Brenda, your ‘ink’ story made me chuckle. When Tom and I got married, I printed out the Order of Service at work (I was a primary school teacher at the time). I totally forgot that I’d set the printer running, until the headteacher hand delivered them to my classroom - all 80 of them!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am always so anxious for each of your flosstubes to appear. While it’s two weeks between, it feels like 2 months. I do so appreciate your time and efforts in putting out your videos. I am in awe of all your beautiful work, yet you manage to crack me up and share a laugh. We live rurally so I very much enjoy your company and consider you two my stitching buddies. Love to you both, stay safe and stay well. Until next time, stitch on!🧵❤️
Thanks Linda!!!!!! I know what it is like to wait for floss tubes to drop!!! I am constantly stalking Nicole for that reason!!!! So glad you are enjoying the floss tubes. We have a lot of fun making them. Hugs!!!!
Always a treat watching your FT. Color consults , stitching orders ,a cuckoo and Haul- Love!! Brenda your BBD piece is gorgeous and it is stunning framed. Laura great WIPs and can't wait to see your PS stitching. Have a wonderful stitchy week !!!
Hi Brenda and Laura! You ladies are just too much! “We’re good at start-a-longs”🤣🤣🤣 your stash enhancement is to die for! You both have easy-going bosses if they don’t mind you printing out such a big chart (and in color)! I recently retired from the state tax department (Brenda - I chuckled that your last two pages came out between the pages of a tax return). We only had one little color printer in our large office - the rest were black and white. The color printer was right in front of the secretary’s desk - no way could you get away with printing so many color pages unless she was out of the office that day!
Thanks for all the FOMO today...your levels of excitement were 10++...beautiful charts and congrats on your finish Brenda...I had to wait for the ending of your HATS printing saga until this morning...wow...I can just imagine his surprise of the last two sheets in that tax return...can you imagine the IRS’s surprise if they had discovered them in the tax return, lol...knitting...sounds like my husband, even though I have tried to educate him...you know I have to watch this again to take notes...retirement has a lot of perks...stay safe, best wishes and happy stitching Brenda and Laura❤️
I agree totally with you guys about stitching what everyone else is doing. When I was younger I would get in the group and do whatever buddy else was doing, but as I matured and got old I decided I didn’t have to do that, and I have so many patterns that I want to do. There are several samplers that I have seen that I am falling in love with and will DEFINITELY Have to put them on my list. I love all your haul and that The sampler you had framed Brenda is to die for. The frame is just magical. I’m working away on my little L in Harrison this week so I can at least post a picture that I have got more finished on her. I even found myself kind of liking her as I made more stitches on her, so there’s hope before I send her off to my niece for a housewarming gift, that I may truly truly love her. Keep safe, keep stitching, and keep on making us laugh and love stitching. ❤️
I just have to start with thank you to both of you! You have no idea the absolute joy your friendship and passion for stitching brings. Brenda, I am still drooling over your absolutely stunningly fabulous Oh Joyous Day!!! Laura, your BBD 1861 is just gorgeous!!! I think you've put me in the mood for some Halloween stitching and I may have to copy you and do a little PS just for the almost instant gratification! Have a fabulous two weeks, stay safe and happy stitching!!!
Brenda, you made me laugh about your boss. I used to print in my office ( now working from home since Covid) and my boss always refers to my stitching as crochet. He will ask me”how’s the crochet thing going “ or if I am taking time off he’ll ask “ going on a crochet getaway again?” So some time ago I brought in a couple of finished items to hang on my wall. When he came into my office we had an “educational” conversation regarding the fiber arts. Lol. But he still calls it crochet. He’s a hoot. I too wish I could retire and stitch all day. Laura, can’t wait to see your progress on your marching orders. Love all of your stitching. Be well and happy !
I have stash envy, especially your silk floss purchases. Only in my dreams could I purchase the terrific charts and kit them up as you do, but I get to watch your progress and hear your comments as you work, and you are both good teachers. You know so much about your projects. Thank you for the work you each do to so generously share. I especially like bits of history you can impart about the stitchers of the originals. Thanks so much.
Thanks so much Cheryl!!!! I really think you can find joy in just kitting up one sampler with silks and sticking to it.....mind you, I have never done it, but I wish I would.....
Love, love, love All the beautiful things. I am the worst person for time management since I retired. Thanks again for sharing your stitching with us. Happy week and happy stitching!
Thanks so much Scott!!!! Oh man....a Gaudi grand tour!!!!!!! Seriously, when this is all over Mike Duet and I are coming to Barcelona!! (as long as we can find cat sitters!). And I hope you keep making videos! Love them so far!!!
You two keep me so happy and enabled! I have never missed an episode since your premier show! Precious and sooo real. Thank you so much for your time to share with us. You have made a commitment and have never wavered, even through this crazy time in all of or lives. It was the one true constant that I could count on to keep me sane! Bless you both.
I can hardly wait for the two weeks to pass to watch you ladies. Your joy and enthusiasm for cross stitch is what gives me the motivation to work on my small projects so thank you for that. I’ve learnt so much about samplers and designers from you both that one day I’ll tackle one myself...but it’ll have to be a small one to start.
Thanks so much Kathy!!!!! There are many darling small samplers to start with. Pineberry Lane, in particular, has some great small red marking samplers. Keep us posted!
I just picked cross stitching back up after 20 years, the only unfinished piece I had was an Anne Cloth afghan which for years I only hung at Christmas so only the finished side would show--this year it will be completely finished. I used to work in a LNS in the 80's 90's until I went to work full-time many years ago, now retired and spend most of my time quilting. I just started watching you a couple weeks ago and really enjoying your videos. I didn't realize you were from the Chicago area until you mentioned the Inspired Needle in your video, I live in Central Illinois but my son lives near Chicago, actually just bought a home in Lemont, yes yes I made my first trip to Inspired Needle last week and bought a 28 ct! Lugana just to see if I could still see it and it's been so fun. We are going back to our son's this week and so hoping to get into the Inspired Needle again while we are there..how convenient is that! Now when I visit, I will be hoping to see you there sometime too!
That is so exciting that you are back to stitching Patty!!!!!!!!! And love the story about your son living in the same town as Inspired Needle!!! I am sure we shall run into each other some day!!! It is my home away from home! Happy Stitching!
Yeah, it’s Brenda and Laura Sunday. Brenda, the framed sampler is gorgeous! Laura, there is more stitching in that Prairie Schooler cat than you think. I stitched it earlier this year and thought it would never end. Have a productive two weeks!
Thanks Vicki!!! Yes, I started the cat yesterday and had to take a nap! There is a lot! Hope to finish it this week though...but who knows what else will pop into the line up!!!!
Brenda and Laura...you two are wonderful!!! I absolutely love you both and look forward to each of your videos!! When I need a fix I go back and watch older videos!! Loved the look on Brenda’s face when Laura held up the witch on the whale!!😂😂😂
Thank you for your flosstube. I appreciate both of you. I’m retired and I don’t get done what you get done. You stitch fast. I think I stop and watch too much. I love watching what your delight as you show your haul.
Hi ladies... last week I've started to catch up with the video you've made. And it's such a joy to see the both of you together again making flosstube... Just love the dynamic between the both of you. What a friendship you two have. I totally get the feeling of Brenda not opening up everything. It is just to much. I do the same. Unboxing in steps. Enjoy just the look of the package. And like you I keep it for a while... Like a little child in a toystore. Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving us a time out from the situation the world is in right now. They are moments of piece en pure joy. Just love the snit snat between the both of you. Lukely I can watch a few more...
Great to watch you two while stitching. Trying to distract myself from yes another fire. It is going in the opposite direction but with the winds we never know. Ashes everywhere and orange skies . I’m too old for these shenanigans!! 4th fire in 3 years. Lots of homes lost😢 And shelters are dealing with the pandemic restrictions-2021 where are you!!??
Oh Patti....I cannot even imagine the amount of stress that causes. We are sending you lots of love and good wishes! Hope that stitching can bring some measure of calm. Hugs!
Laura, Laura, Laura, thank you for making me a mini celebrity 😆 in my local stitching community! I do hope to attend a retreat with you folks ASAP. And unfortunately I did not visit any other stores. I wanted to take it slow with my non-stitching friend. Thank you both for being so fun and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for the time you put in the videos. Tina Grace
Y’all are my favorite flosstube. I look forward to each and every new video. Still going back and watching all your older ones as well. Y’all are so entertaining and your taste in patterns is so perfectly inline with mine. I love y’all mentioning how we “MAKE” time to do what we love. It’s not that we are slackers that have messy houses cause we do nothing else. I get so tired of hearing people say “I don’t have time for stuff like that” when you share your projects with them. Y’all keep up the fantastic work.
It is just amazing how you can be so entertaining every time. My sister and I are both stitching now and we realized we are just like the two of you. I'm like Laura and need marching orders, and my sister is like Brenda with all kinds of advise. Love it. I laughed so hard with the timing of the clock. You are both inspiring. Thanks!!!
I am watching for the third time- I totally love you ladies and your stitch parade! You gave me more inspiration than I have stitching time. Stitching preserves sanity.
The Brenda/Laura floss tubes are guilty pleasure. I now watch you two on the “big tv” with a cup of chai tea and no guys allowed! I saw some beautiful WIP’s in this episode. Love you 2.
Teaching elementary school virtually now has drastically reduced my stitching time. However, I always find time to watch you two. You continue to inspire me and most of all make me laugh!!
What a fun video! Laura, hope the "marching orders" are going well! Can't wait to see your progress. Brenda, your BBD framed piece is gorgeous! Have a great week of printing and stitching all the things!
Ok ladies. You are definitely my all time favorite TH-cam to watch while I walk my dog, Rufus. We are in a rural neighborhood, so chances of getting hit by a car while glancing at my screen are minimal. Cause I glance often due to many WIPs and new stash (that I probably need). My neighbors definitely think I am a wee bit crazy cause I laugh out loud frequently during your video. Thank you for putting a lift in my step.....you are awesome and your passion for cross stitch inspires me!
I always so enjoy the hour I spend with you both. I love it. I enjoy seeing your starts and finishes and what you have gotten in the mail but most of all the friendship between you guys. Always uplifting. Thank you.
Ladies, I know the boxes you have received lately have made you pretty happy!!! However, I want you to know you two made me happy!!! Your video was the best...I was smiling all the way through!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time, sharing the information and showing your beautiful work!!! You ladies are a blessing to me!!! Take care and be well!!! :)
Oh, you guys! Not in compliance.....hahahahaha.....ooba dooba......I look forward to your videos so much. If I get mixed up with which Sunday your video comes out, I just remember they come out on the Sundays that the recycling goes down. Brenda, your framed piece is spectacular! Have a good couple of week’s ladies! Blessings and take care.
You are both absolutely delightful, and I love watching you two! Thank you for sharing and showing us all your amazing projects :) Brenda, your latest framed Blackbird is gorgeous!
Yes please show all the fabrics all the time. It is so helpful for me especially since I don’t have a lns anywhere near me so I never get to see the fabric in person. Just have to buy off line. You guys just make my week.
I have to stop watching your videos at bedtime! Laura got me all "hepped" up about Halloween stitching and it's after 2am! Brenda my husband also refers to my stitching as knitting or sometimes macrame! I almost all caught up watching all your videos so I'm glad you both mention other channels to check out, thank you!
Always look forward to your videos, ladies.....again, motivational AND enabling!!! Your friendship is so rich, and it's obvious...such a refreshing escape during such turmoil..truly, stitching has been a blessing for all of us. Can't wait to see what you will have in store for us next time..oh, and the marching orders!!
Thanks for the visit with me today, I so look forward to seeing you both. Brenda there’s the ‘ Noel ‘ that I’m stitching too and loved your framed ‘ Oh Joyous Day ‘. That’s another one that’s in my stitching rotation. Happy stitching to both of you.
I'm lucky I'm the office manager/boss. So I do print all my stuff at work. 😀. You two are so much fun. I have enjoyed this evening so much with you gals. Love the Marching orders, Brenda hold her to it. 😂. You two have such amazing finishes and of course starts. 😀 See you in two weeks. Stay Safe, Stay Happy Stitching.
Hello Brenda and Laura. Mary Clayton is beautiful. My sister and I are stitching her. Just as an FYI, there is a very small amount of one over one in the windows above the door. But anyone can do this small amount. I was so enabled with everything both of you showed today. I love the fact that you print out your pdfs at work. Good work life balance! Happy stitching.
Thank you Donna!!!! I did not realize there was over one on Mary Clayton thanks for the heads up and the pep talk!!! Happy Stitching to you and your sister!
You girls are so funny. I look forward to each of your videos and all of your stitching. Beautiful framed pieces too. I have to use some restraint, though and not order everything you are stitching. I love all of the fabrics you showed-so pretty! Happy Stitching and check on the ink! Pam Miller
You both always seem to sooo love your stash! Don’t we all! The laughs and giggles and stories keep us so inspired! The wealth of knowledge and info you share is amazing! I’m stitching every day a little as I go but Brenda you are flat amazing! I’ve called Ellen the speed demon but you run a close second!!!! Thx again for your time and efforts, I always walk away with a list!,❤️
Calling the Attic tomorrow...I need Eliza Hills!! Ladies I was STITCHING and listening and looking and rewinding (?) and then you were saying GOODBYE....GO LOOK not yet!! Thank you sooo much for taking the time to show (enable) us your stash each week and progress WIPS!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2020!!
Thanks so much Karen!!! My husband is still after me to make our videos shorter! I told him there are two of us so basically we are each making a 30 minute video! Happy stitching to you too!!!
As always, love your flosstubes...Brenda your new framed piece is stunning! Thank you both for sharing you wips and hauls...Laura, you are so entertaining...I think we all want to stitch what Brenda stitches! Can't wait to see what progress and starts you both have next time... I think the cuckoo clock is on a timer!!
You guys are just a hoot! I get such a kick out of Laura looking at Brenda’s wips and hauls. “Im getting that”!! Lol You bring a lot of laughs along with great stitch stuff.
Hooray! It's time for the most anticipated time of my fortnight--the Brenda and Laura show! When Laura said "Jiminy Christmas, I shouldn't be allowed to start things by myself" I just had an image of Brenda in a nanny's uniform coming into Laura's room and supervising all the starts. Bwahaha. And the cuckoo clock continues its impeccable timing. Thank you again for giving so much joy!
Thank you Linda!!! I thought of you this morning when I turned off my night light for the day time hours!!!!! I need Brenda to be on call in a nanny uniform for me at all times!!!!! That would be great!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 Laura, you are so sweet! I hope one day I can meet you in real life and we can enthuse about all kinds of fun rabbit holes of knowledge 😁 Have a beautiful day despite it being a Monday!
Loved the video you two are so delightful!! Brenda..Beautiful finish & framed piece..gorgeous I agree love Total Framing by far the best!, stash was full of treasures... have a Aunt who lives in Naperville beautiful area! Have a fabulous week, can’t wait to see how Laura does with her marching orders....
Got my Monday chores done and sitting down to enjoy your video. I didn’t get to finish it yesterday. So why not start from the beginning again! Your videos are so anticipated. Thanks for taking the time.
Hi Brenda and Laura, watching from Melbourne Australia, we have been in a strict lockdown for months now. I so look forward to seeing your videos, thank goodness for stitchers like you, so much fun! Love Fiona💕💕💕💕
Thank you so much Fiona!!!!!!! I am amazed that someone in Melbourne is seeing us....we are so far apart in miles, but close in heart as fellow stitchers!!!! Hugs!!!
Brenda and the Serial Starter I’ve been watching all of your videos over the last few days. So much fun, what gorgeous WIPs and finishes you both have!💕💕💕
Laura, you do need to go to Barcelona!!! We went last summer and spent a blissful 17 days exploring all that the city has to offer and we didn't see it all! And Gaudi, the Sagrada Familia left my husband and me speechless, just writing about it I have goose bumps. The Lord's prayer door is amazing!!!! You got to go a trip worth while.... Great visiting with you ladies again. I know you don't do SAL but there will be one with Ellen starting Oct 10 for the coverlet!!!!
I am going to Barcelona for sure (just don't know when!!)....your trip sounds like it was perfect! I am going to attempt to start the coverlet on 10/10!!! It is so beautiful! Thanks Maryse!
What a great day! Brenda and Laura have a new video. Wonderful discussion and enabling by the stitching gurus. Much appreciated as always. Icing on the cake-the Pats won their game. 🎉
Just love watching you, love the rules which we all need to follow , marching orders and Brenda’s expressions while Laura is diving in and out project bags . Most of all love that rustling sound as you open charts , thanks again you always make my day all the way to Australia
Thanks so much Jillian!!! It is so amazing to think of someone in Australia watching our antics!!! We are far apart in miles, but so close with our love of stitching!
My gosh you made me laugh - classic comment. Laura - "you're good for the year.". Brenda - 'Yeah right".....so so funny. Thanks for another thoroughly enjoyable flosstube ladies. You're both treasures.
Brenda I love you and Laura so much! The things you and Laura show and tell are so wonderful it makes me so happy, we don’t have as many of the shops you have there as here or I just can’t find them! I have just recently found Sewitall here to supply fabric! Postage is very expensive to Australia!
Thanks so much for your kind words Christine!!!! Do you know about the shop in Sydney? Crewel Gobelin????? It is a really great shop and I bet the shipping would be more affordable since it is in "in country." Hope that helps! There is also a shop called Linen and Threads in Australia that I have heard about.
Thank you for showing the DMCs for Anna Sophia. I loved it when Nicola showed it yesterday, but I wasn't sure. Now I think I'm going to have to have it.
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos! I look forward to each one. When I’ve had enough of the news, I often go back and watch an old one, just to cheer me up!😀
Hi guys. Fun watching you two. In such a depressing time, you add interesting and fun information. Also, great enablers. I was recently at a cross stitch shop in Canton, OHIO on Whipple Avenue. It is “Little Creek Needleworks” , and shop owner is Patty Boone. Fantastic shop, easy to find, as it is not far from the Football Hall of Fame. A must stop for our shopping adventures. So, a drop off for husbands at the Hall of Fame and onto shopping heaven.
Ha! I’m an owner of our Accounting Practice so along with the concept that “Rank has privilege” I get to print my charts out whenever I please. It’s even better when the Admin team offer to bind it for me. 😜
Whenever you two make a video it’s like you have come to my house for morning coffee and to tell me all about your stitching. Such a great way to start my day. I am still waiting for those very scissors you showed Brenda to show up from the Attic. Laura! What on earth?!?! I could not believe my 👀😲 all that Floss hanging loose with no thread drops, no floss ring and no thread keep?!?! I can’t believe Brenda even let you in the house!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know!!!! But when I start a ton of new projects I don't have time to refine my process! I will try to get it together. It is not pleasant to see a fistful of DMC!! Thanks for your fun comment!!! Hugs!
I had so much fun with you both. Sunday was my 70th birthday. Couldn't have picked a nicer way to spend the hour. Brenda, I can't stitch a project when everyone else is stitching it. It makes me nervous. I'll wait til they are all done. Laura, I'm gonna start some Halloween this week also. I need to do just one. Have a couple of good weeks.
Thank you for another dose of inspiration! I do love being "retired" and having my time free to stitch and quilt, but I don't get nearly as much done as you'd think. It seems like there's always something pulling me away from what I really want to do. That's how life goes I guess. I'm just the same....seeing a bunch of people stitch on something I want to stich, and I'm out. It's just overload. Probably why I'm terrible at sals...I like to do my own thing. LOL Have a fantastic week!
You make my Sunday nights so much better! Love watching you ladies! This working from home all the time is cutting in on my notebook and pen collection too! 😎
Hi ladies 😊 so much fun watching you today! Brenda your fabulous finish of OH JOYOUS DAY is just stunning!! I’ve resisted buying and starting that one but I think it may be Christmas for me soon too😉 thank you both for making us all smile❤️❤️
I really enjoyed your show today. Worked on my mother’s house to get it ready for my brother to have hospice come in. It’s going to take a lot of my free time the next month or so. You made me smile. Just what I needed. Thank you
Thanks again for some great entertainment and inspiration!! As usual, I can’t stitch for wanting to see all the beautiful charts you show and Christmas in September! Happy Stitching !!
Currently stitching The Bluebird Sampler with the over dyed cottons - loving it! Got it all kitted up at Sassy Jack's and sent to me last year. Love me a Quaker sampler!
I tried to watch the floss tubers that was from Independence, Mo I could not find it I tried a lot of ways to spell 3 trails. I live in a suburb next to Independence I thought it would be nice to see some one in my area. I love watching your floss tube you have so many pretty pieces and it brightens my day.
I am sorry about that Katherine....please send me an email to duetabode@comcast.net and I will find a link for you so that you can see those floss tubes.
A fresh cup of coffee and watching you ladies made my morning great! I wrote down my own marching orders-I’m hoping Santa brings me a box from the Attic too! Stitch on!
Hi Brenda and Laura-Thank you, thank you! I won an Ann Dale chart (bottom portion) because of you two but especially Laura! My winning comment was you should always have a Red sampler going because Laura said so!! Thank you again Stacey Nineoneone Stitcher♥️
🤗 Brenda I’m like you (even though I’m retired) I have to get my yard/house work done before I can enjoy the stitching. And keep the jobs done up every day so there’s not a pile of work to do at once. Laura listen to Brenda she won’t steer you wrong (but I think you know that)! Always enjoy the visit ladies and that cuckoo clock cracks me up!! You both take care. ❤️❤️
Hello Ladies 🙋🏻♀️, LOVE your videos!!! Since you mentioned new floss tubers I have a suggestion of a lady I just recently came across. Her name is Lynn and her channel is Lancashire Stitcher. She seems so sweet and has some lovely projects, she has 2 videos up so far. Best Wishes and cannot wait to see your progress Brenda on your new project and Laura I hope you keep to your marching orders 😉
I love Brenda’s face when Laura pulled out a ‘clump’ of DMC! Not in compliance, Laura! 😂 Laura, I feel exactly the same way about 1 strand on 36ct. It is my happy place. Yet when Shepherds Bush charts tell me to use 1 strand on 28ct fabric, I LOVE how that looks, too! Elizabeth Cockerill looks BEAUTIFUL on that fabric. ❤️ Thank you so much for stitching her. 😊 Brenda, your ‘ink’ story made me chuckle. When Tom and I got married, I printed out the Order of Service at work (I was a primary school teacher at the time). I totally forgot that I’d set the printer running, until the headteacher hand delivered them to my classroom - all 80 of them!
I love how Elizabeth is coming along!! She is such a beautiful sampler!!!!! Glad to hear you like the one strand on 36 too. Hugs!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am always so anxious for each of your flosstubes to appear. While it’s two weeks between, it feels like 2 months. I do so appreciate your time and efforts in putting out your videos. I am in awe of all your beautiful work, yet you manage to crack me up and share a laugh. We live rurally so I very much enjoy your company and consider you two my stitching buddies. Love to you both, stay safe and stay well. Until next time, stitch on!🧵❤️
Thanks Linda!!!!!! I know what it is like to wait for floss tubes to drop!!! I am constantly stalking Nicole for that reason!!!! So glad you are enjoying the floss tubes. We have a lot of fun making them. Hugs!!!!
Always a treat watching your FT. Color consults , stitching orders ,a cuckoo and Haul- Love!! Brenda your BBD piece is gorgeous and it is stunning framed. Laura great WIPs and can't wait to see your PS stitching. Have a wonderful stitchy week !!!
Thanks so much Linda!!!
Hi Brenda and Laura! You ladies are just too much! “We’re good at start-a-longs”🤣🤣🤣 your stash enhancement is to die for! You both have easy-going bosses if they don’t mind you printing out such a big chart (and in color)! I recently retired from the state tax department (Brenda - I chuckled that your last two pages came out between the pages of a tax return). We only had one little color printer in our large office - the rest were black and white. The color printer was right in front of the secretary’s desk - no way could you get away with printing so many color pages unless she was out of the office that day!
We are naughty!!!!!! Thanks for watching and commenting Jackie!!
Thanks for all the FOMO today...your levels of excitement were 10++...beautiful charts and congrats on your finish Brenda...I had to wait for the ending of your HATS printing saga until this morning...wow...I can just imagine his surprise of the last two sheets in that tax return...can you imagine the IRS’s surprise if they had discovered them in the tax return, lol...knitting...sounds like my husband, even though I have tried to educate him...you know I have to watch this again to take notes...retirement has a lot of perks...stay safe, best wishes and happy stitching Brenda and Laura❤️
Thanks so much Loretta!!!!!!
I agree totally with you guys about stitching what everyone else is doing. When I was younger I would get in the group and do whatever buddy else was doing, but as I matured and got old I decided I didn’t have to do that, and I have so many patterns that I want to do. There are several samplers that I have seen that I am falling in love with and will DEFINITELY Have to put them on my list. I love all your haul and that The sampler you had framed Brenda is to die for. The frame is just magical. I’m working away on my little L in Harrison this week so I can at least post a picture that I have got more finished on her. I even found myself kind of liking her as I made more stitches on her, so there’s hope before I send her off to my niece for a housewarming gift, that I may truly truly love her. Keep safe, keep stitching, and keep on making us laugh and love stitching. ❤️
Thanks Sharon!!!! I love the sampler you are working on now. It is truly unique. I predict that it will be very difficult to part with her at the end!
I just have to start with thank you to both of you! You have no idea the absolute joy your friendship and passion for stitching brings. Brenda, I am still drooling over your absolutely stunningly fabulous Oh Joyous Day!!! Laura, your BBD 1861 is just gorgeous!!! I think you've put me in the mood for some Halloween stitching and I may have to copy you and do a little PS just for the almost instant gratification! Have a fabulous two weeks, stay safe and happy stitching!!!
Thanks so much Wanda!!!!! I finished one little PS Halloween stitch over this time and it was fun!!! Hope you are having a good stitching time!
Brenda, you made me laugh about your boss. I used to print in my office ( now working from home since Covid) and my boss always refers to my stitching as crochet. He will ask me”how’s the crochet thing going “ or if I am taking time off he’ll ask “ going on a crochet getaway again?” So some time ago I brought in a couple of finished items to hang on my wall. When he came into my office we had an “educational” conversation regarding the fiber arts. Lol. But he still calls it crochet. He’s a hoot. I too wish I could retire and stitch all day. Laura, can’t wait to see your progress on your marching orders. Love all of your stitching. Be well and happy !
Love that story!!!!!!!!
I have stash envy, especially your silk floss purchases. Only in my dreams could I purchase the terrific charts and kit them up as you do, but I get to watch your progress and hear your comments as you work, and you are both good teachers. You know so much about your projects. Thank you for the work you each do to so generously share. I especially like bits of history you can impart about the stitchers of the originals. Thanks so much.
Thanks so much Cheryl!!!! I really think you can find joy in just kitting up one sampler with silks and sticking to it.....mind you, I have never done it, but I wish I would.....
Love, love, love All the beautiful things. I am the worst person for time management since I retired. Thanks again for sharing your stitching with us. Happy week and happy stitching!
Thanks Shelia!!!!! As long as you are spending your time doing things you love...no time is wasted!
You two ladies never cease to amaze me! And LAURA, stop buying silks, start buying plane tickets and I will give you the grand Gaudi tour! ✈️😃😘
Thanks so much Scott!!!! Oh man....a Gaudi grand tour!!!!!!! Seriously, when this is all over Mike Duet and I are coming to Barcelona!! (as long as we can find cat sitters!). And I hope you keep making videos! Love them so far!!!
You two keep me so happy and enabled! I have never missed an episode since your premier show! Precious and sooo real. Thank you so much for your time to share with us. You have made a commitment and have never wavered, even through this crazy time in all of or lives. It was the one true constant that I could count on to keep me sane! Bless you both.
Oh my goodness, that is so nice of you to say Trish. Thank you so very much. Hugs to you!!!!
I can hardly wait for the two weeks to pass to watch you ladies. Your joy and enthusiasm for cross stitch is what gives me the motivation to work on my small projects so thank you for that. I’ve learnt so much about samplers and designers from you both that one day I’ll tackle one myself...but it’ll have to be a small one to start.
Thanks so much Kathy!!!!! There are many darling small samplers to start with. Pineberry Lane, in particular, has some great small red marking samplers. Keep us posted!
I just picked cross stitching back up after 20 years, the only unfinished piece I had was an Anne Cloth afghan which for years I only hung at Christmas so only the finished side would show--this year it will be completely finished. I used to work in a LNS in the 80's 90's until I went to work full-time many years ago, now retired and spend most of my time quilting. I just started watching you a couple weeks ago and really enjoying your videos. I didn't realize you were from the Chicago area until you mentioned the Inspired Needle in your video, I live in Central Illinois but my son lives near Chicago, actually just bought a home in Lemont, yes yes I made my first trip to Inspired Needle last week and bought a 28 ct! Lugana just to see if I could still see it and it's been so fun. We are going back to our son's this week and so hoping to get into the Inspired Needle again while we are there..how convenient is that! Now when I visit, I will be hoping to see you there sometime too!
That is so exciting that you are back to stitching Patty!!!!!!!!! And love the story about your son living in the same town as Inspired Needle!!! I am sure we shall run into each other some day!!! It is my home away from home! Happy Stitching!
Yeah, it’s Brenda and Laura Sunday. Brenda, the framed sampler is gorgeous! Laura, there is more stitching in that Prairie Schooler cat than you think. I stitched it earlier this year and thought it would never end. Have a productive two weeks!
Thanks Vicki!!! Yes, I started the cat yesterday and had to take a nap! There is a lot! Hope to finish it this week though...but who knows what else will pop into the line up!!!!
Brenda and Laura...you two are wonderful!!! I absolutely love you both and look forward to each of your videos!!
When I need a fix I go back and watch older videos!! Loved the look on Brenda’s face when Laura held up the witch on the whale!!😂😂😂
Thanks Chris!!! When I held that up I just knew Brenda was not a fan!!!
Thank you for your flosstube. I appreciate both of you. I’m retired and I don’t get done what you get done. You stitch fast. I think I stop and watch too much. I love watching what your delight as you show your haul.
Thanks so much Carol!!! As long as you are stitching and enjoying it doesn't matter how much you get done!!! Isn't it just the best??
Hi ladies... last week I've started to catch up with the video you've made. And it's such a joy to see the both of you together again making flosstube... Just love the dynamic between the both of you. What a friendship you two have. I totally get the feeling of Brenda not opening up everything. It is just to much. I do the same. Unboxing in steps. Enjoy just the look of the package. And like you I keep it for a while... Like a little child in a toystore. Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving us a time out from the situation the world is in right now. They are moments of piece en pure joy. Just love the snit snat between the both of you. Lukely I can watch a few more...
Great to watch you two while stitching. Trying to distract myself from yes another fire. It is going in the opposite direction but with the winds we never know. Ashes everywhere and orange skies . I’m too old for these shenanigans!! 4th fire in 3 years. Lots of homes lost😢 And shelters are dealing with the pandemic restrictions-2021 where are you!!??
Oh Patti....I cannot even imagine the amount of stress that causes. We are sending you lots of love and good wishes! Hope that stitching can bring some measure of calm. Hugs!
Laura, Laura, Laura, thank you for making me a mini celebrity 😆 in my local stitching community! I do hope to attend a retreat with you folks ASAP. And unfortunately I did not visit any other stores. I wanted to take it slow with my non-stitching friend. Thank you both for being so fun and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for the time you put in the videos. Tina Grace
Thanks Tina!!!!!!! I hope we can be at a retreat ASAP in 2021!!!!!!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 I'm hoping to stitch with you soon! Thank you for your kindness!
Y’all are my favorite flosstube. I look forward to each and every new video. Still going back and watching all your older ones as well. Y’all are so entertaining and your taste in patterns is so perfectly inline with mine.
I love y’all mentioning how we “MAKE” time to do what we love. It’s not that we are slackers that have messy houses cause we do nothing else. I get so tired of hearing people say “I don’t have time for stuff like that” when you share your projects with them.
Y’all keep up the fantastic work.
Thanks Jan!!!!! Agree with you on all points!
It is just amazing how you can be so entertaining every time. My sister and I are both stitching now and we realized we are just like the two of you. I'm like Laura and need marching orders, and my sister is like Brenda with all kinds of advise. Love it. I laughed so hard with the timing of the clock. You are both inspiring. Thanks!!!
Thanks so very much Alice!!!!! Sounds like we would all have fun stitching together!
I am watching for the third time- I totally love you ladies and your stitch parade! You gave me more inspiration than I have stitching time. Stitching preserves sanity.
Thank you so much RoseAnn!!!!! That is so sweet of you to say. And you are 100% correct.....stitching saves our sanity!
The Brenda/Laura floss tubes are guilty pleasure. I now watch you two on the “big tv” with a cup of chai tea and no guys allowed! I saw some beautiful WIP’s in this episode. Love you 2.
Thanks so much Laurie!!! I love watching floss tube on the TV with no one around but me and my stitching!!!!! Hugs!
Teaching elementary school virtually now has drastically reduced my stitching time. However, I always find time to watch you two. You continue to inspire me and most of all make me laugh!!
Oh no!!! Just when you need the calm of stitching....I hope that you can find some time. Thanks Denise!
I don’t even think you know what it is.
You told me.
Calm down girl.
😂😂😂😂😂
I love all the projects and friendship!! Thanks for the videos!!
That was funny!!!! Thanks Lisa!
What a fun video! Laura, hope the "marching orders" are going well! Can't wait to see your progress. Brenda, your BBD framed piece is gorgeous! Have a great week of printing and stitching all the things!
Thanks Merritt!!!!!!!!! Hope you have a great stitching week too!
Brenda, in my office they always encourage a good work/life balance so when I print charts I say it's for my work/life balance! 😂
Excellent Sharon!!! We shall use that line for sure!
Ok ladies. You are definitely my all time favorite TH-cam to watch while I walk my dog, Rufus. We are in a rural neighborhood, so chances of getting hit by a car while glancing at my screen are minimal. Cause I glance often due to many WIPs and new stash (that I probably need). My neighbors definitely think I am a wee bit crazy cause I laugh out loud frequently during your video. Thank you for putting a lift in my step.....you are awesome and your passion for cross stitch inspires me!
@@stitchthymepittsburgh2163 Thanks so much!!!!! Glad we are along for the walk with you and Rufus!!!!! Please give him a pat on the head from us!!!
I always so enjoy the hour I spend with you both. I love it. I enjoy seeing your starts and finishes and what you have gotten in the mail but most of all the friendship between you guys. Always uplifting. Thank you.
Thank you so much Marjo!!!!
Ladies, I know the boxes you have received lately have made you pretty happy!!! However, I want you to know you two made me happy!!! Your video was the best...I was smiling all the way through!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time, sharing the information and showing your beautiful work!!! You ladies are a blessing to me!!! Take care and be well!!! :)
I even laugh at the Cuckoo Clock!!! It is priceless!!!
Just love you ladies. I want a "Brenda" for my marching orders too ! Laura, you've got it made.
Thanks Gayle! You are right...I am lucky!!!!
Oh, you guys! Not in compliance.....hahahahaha.....ooba dooba......I look forward to your videos so much. If I get mixed up with which Sunday your video comes out, I just remember they come out on the Sundays that the recycling goes down. Brenda, your framed piece is spectacular! Have a good couple of week’s ladies! Blessings and take care.
Thanks Kristin! I love the way you remember which Sunday we do the floss tube! Hilarious!!! I guess the recycling is going out this weekend!!
You are both absolutely delightful, and I love watching you two! Thank you for sharing and showing us all your amazing projects :) Brenda, your latest framed Blackbird is gorgeous!
Thank you so much!!!!!!!
Yes please show all the fabrics all the time. It is so helpful for me especially since I don’t have a lns anywhere near me so I never get to see the fabric in person. Just have to buy off line. You guys just make my week.
Thanks so much Katy!!!! Okay, we will show linen as much as possible from now on and won't worry about boring anyone!
I have to stop watching your videos at bedtime! Laura got me all "hepped" up about Halloween stitching and it's after 2am! Brenda my husband also refers to my stitching as knitting or sometimes macrame! I almost all caught up watching all your videos so I'm glad you both mention other channels to check out, thank you!
Always look forward to your videos, ladies.....again, motivational AND enabling!!! Your friendship is so rich, and it's obvious...such a refreshing escape during such turmoil..truly, stitching has been a blessing for all of us. Can't wait to see what you will have in store for us next time..oh, and the marching orders!!
Thanks so much Chrie!!!!!!!!! We are inching closer and closer to another Sunday floss tube!!! We have been stitching up a storm!
What a fun video! I don’t like stitching what everyone else is stitching either. I really enjoy spending time with you both.💝
Thank you so much Ruth!!!
Brenda, your frame is beautiful. It works so perfectly with your cross stitch piece. Gorgeous!
Isn't it amazing??? Brenda picked a beautiful frame for that project!
Thanks for the visit with me today, I so look forward to seeing you both. Brenda there’s the ‘ Noel ‘ that I’m stitching too and loved your framed ‘ Oh Joyous Day ‘. That’s another one that’s in my stitching rotation. Happy stitching to both of you.
Thanks so much Clare!!!! Hope you have been stitching up a storm!
I'm lucky I'm the office manager/boss. So I do print all my stuff at work. 😀. You two are so much fun. I have enjoyed this evening so much with you gals. Love the Marching orders, Brenda hold her to it. 😂. You two have such amazing finishes and of course starts. 😀 See you in two weeks. Stay Safe, Stay Happy Stitching.
Thanks so much Linda!!!!!! So far so good....Day one of marching orders is under my belt! Happy stitching to you too!!!!!
Brenda, Your O Joyous day is spectacular! I stitched it as well. The frame you chose is gorgeous!!!
Wonderful video filled with awesome stitchy stuff!!! Thanks for sharing all the goodness.
Thank you so much for watching!!
Hello Brenda and Laura. Mary Clayton is beautiful. My sister and I are stitching her. Just as an FYI, there is a very small amount of one over one in the windows above the door. But anyone can do this small amount. I was so enabled with everything both of you showed today. I love the fact that you print out your pdfs at work. Good work life balance! Happy stitching.
Thank you Donna!!!! I did not realize there was over one on Mary Clayton thanks for the heads up and the pep talk!!! Happy Stitching to you and your sister!
You girls are so funny. I look forward to each of your videos and all of your stitching. Beautiful framed pieces too. I have to use some restraint, though and not order everything you are stitching. I love all of the fabrics you showed-so pretty! Happy Stitching and check on the ink! Pam Miller
Thanks so much Pam!!!!!!
Holey Schmoley, the frame on that Blackbird Designs is perfect. That piece is lovely.
I agree!!! It is amazing and Brenda picked a perfect frame for that beautiful piece!!! Thanks Rebecca!
You both always seem to sooo love your stash! Don’t we all! The laughs and giggles and stories keep us so inspired! The wealth of knowledge and info you share is amazing! I’m stitching every day a little as I go but Brenda you are flat amazing! I’ve called Ellen the speed demon but you run a close second!!!! Thx again for your time and efforts, I always walk away with a list!,❤️
Thanks so much Angel!!!!! We think you are always stitching the most amazing samplers!!!! Hugs!
Lovely spending time with y'all today! I love your fun rapport and all the gorgeous stitching of course!!
Thanks so much Rachael!!!!!!! Hugs!
Calling the Attic tomorrow...I need Eliza Hills!! Ladies I was STITCHING and listening and looking and rewinding (?) and then you were saying GOODBYE....GO LOOK not yet!! Thank you sooo much for taking the time to show (enable) us your stash each week and progress WIPS!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2020!!
Thanks so much Karen!!! My husband is still after me to make our videos shorter! I told him there are two of us so basically we are each making a 30 minute video! Happy stitching to you too!!!
As always, love your flosstubes...Brenda your new framed piece is stunning! Thank you both for sharing you wips and hauls...Laura, you are so entertaining...I think we all want to stitch what Brenda stitches!
Can't wait to see what progress and starts you both have next time...
I think the cuckoo clock is on a timer!!
Thanks Carol! Yes, Brenda's framed piece is out of this world!!!! Just breathtaking! That cuckoo is just too much!
I think you should start a stitch along, with the Blackbird. You guys could make so many people “Drink the Kool-aid 🤪. 💗 you both!
Drink the Kool-aid!! That is hilarious! Our problem is that we never keep up with SALs! We are terrible at it!
I need Brenda to help me choose the right fabric!😁😁 I enjoy your videos.
We would love to help you choose the right fabric too! I wish we could all hang out!! Thanks Pam!
My heart always takes a leap when I see that you two have posted again! Everything is so much fun that you share...
You both have become my extended family. When a new floss tube is available I jump for joy. Well my mind does not my body. Lol
That is so nice of you to say Marlene!! Thank you so much!
@@pamelapalmer1250 Thank you so much Pamela!!!!! Hugs!!!!
You guys are just a hoot! I get such a kick out of Laura looking at Brenda’s wips and hauls. “Im getting that”!! Lol
You bring a lot of laughs along with great stitch stuff.
Thanks so much Phyllis!!!!
Hooray! It's time for the most anticipated time of my fortnight--the Brenda and Laura show!
When Laura said "Jiminy Christmas, I shouldn't be allowed to start things by myself" I just had an image of Brenda in a nanny's uniform coming into Laura's room and supervising all the starts. Bwahaha.
And the cuckoo clock continues its impeccable timing.
Thank you again for giving so much joy!
Thank you Linda!!! I thought of you this morning when I turned off my night light for the day time hours!!!!! I need Brenda to be on call in a nanny uniform for me at all times!!!!! That would be great!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 Laura, you are so sweet! I hope one day I can meet you in real life and we can enthuse about all kinds of fun rabbit holes of knowledge 😁 Have a beautiful day despite it being a Monday!
I LOVE Sunday afternoons with Brenda and Laura! You always inspire me and make me laugh! I hope you both have a great 2 weeks of stitching!! Blessing!
Thanks so much Vicki!!!!!! Hope you have a great stitching two weeks too!
Ink.....lol....now that i am retired...i have to pay...but its fun having lots of stitching time...happy stitching..! Cheers!
Glad you have lots of stitching time Susan!!!!!! Sounds like lots of fun! Hugs!
Loved the video you two are so delightful!! Brenda..Beautiful finish & framed piece..gorgeous I agree love Total Framing by far the best!, stash was full of treasures... have a Aunt who lives in Naperville beautiful area! Have a fabulous week, can’t wait to see how Laura does with her marching orders....
Thanks so much LaNelle!!! So far the marching orders are going well.......we shall what happens in the coming days!
Got my Monday chores done and sitting down to enjoy your video. I didn’t get to finish it yesterday. So why not start from the beginning again! Your videos are so anticipated. Thanks for taking the time.
Thank you so much for your very kind comments!!!!! Hugs!
Another lovely video! My first blackbird samplers arrived- 3 to be exact- all because of watching you both! 😉 so look forward to each of your videos.
That is so exciting Emily!!!!!!!! We just know you will be in love with them!!!! Have fun!!
You sure know how to lift one's spirits! Happy Stitching!! See you next time...
Thanks so much Suzanne!!!
I am new to your channel and OMG you two are such enablers! I 😳😳😳 ordered Anna Sophia 😁 now to gather up supplies! THANK YOU! 🥰🥰🥰
Me too!
Hi Brenda and Laura, watching from Melbourne Australia, we have been in a strict lockdown for months now. I so look forward to seeing your videos, thank goodness for stitchers like you, so much fun! Love Fiona💕💕💕💕
Thank you so much Fiona!!!!!!! I am amazed that someone in Melbourne is seeing us....we are so far apart in miles, but close in heart as fellow stitchers!!!! Hugs!!!
Brenda and the Serial Starter I’ve been watching all of your videos over the last few days. So much fun, what gorgeous WIPs and finishes you both have!💕💕💕
Another great video. Thanks for the enabling! So much fun to watch the two of you banter with each other.
Thank you Cindi!!! We love to enable and banter!
Laura, you do need to go to Barcelona!!! We went last summer and spent a blissful 17 days exploring all that the city has to offer and we didn't see it all! And Gaudi, the Sagrada Familia left my husband and me speechless, just writing about it I have goose bumps. The Lord's prayer door is amazing!!!! You got to go a trip worth while.... Great visiting with you ladies again. I know you don't do SAL but there will be one with Ellen starting Oct 10 for the coverlet!!!!
I am going to Barcelona for sure (just don't know when!!)....your trip sounds like it was perfect! I am going to attempt to start the coverlet on 10/10!!! It is so beautiful! Thanks Maryse!
What a great day! Brenda and Laura have a new video. Wonderful discussion and enabling by the stitching gurus. Much appreciated as always. Icing on the cake-the Pats won their game. 🎉
Thanks so much Bunny!!! Glad your team won!!!! See you on Sunday!
I look forward to each of your videos! So much enjoyable information and entertainment!Beautiful beautiful work.
Thank you kindly Pam!!
Pure joy! Wonderful entertainment! (!) Thank you,
Thanks so very much Judy!!!
Just love watching you, love the rules which we all need to follow , marching orders and Brenda’s expressions while Laura is diving in and out project bags . Most of all love that rustling sound as you open charts , thanks again you always make my day all the way to Australia
Thanks so much Jillian!!! It is so amazing to think of someone in Australia watching our antics!!! We are far apart in miles, but so close with our love of stitching!
My gosh you made me laugh - classic comment. Laura - "you're good for the year.". Brenda - 'Yeah right".....so so funny. Thanks for another thoroughly enjoyable flosstube ladies. You're both treasures.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments!
Brenda I love you and Laura so much! The things you and Laura show and tell are so wonderful it makes me so happy, we don’t have as many of the shops you have there as here or I just can’t find them! I have just recently found Sewitall here to supply fabric! Postage is very expensive to Australia!
Thanks so much for your kind words Christine!!!! Do you know about the shop in Sydney? Crewel Gobelin????? It is a really great shop and I bet the shipping would be more affordable since it is in "in country." Hope that helps! There is also a shop called Linen and Threads in Australia that I have heard about.
Thank you for your tips I will follow up with some research on them ! Looking forward to your next episode!
You two are killing me with all the beautiful projects!!!
Our work here is done then Bonnie!
You two are my favorite. You make me laugh out loud!
Thank you for watching and letting us know Stacy!!!
Thank you for showing the DMCs for Anna Sophia. I loved it when Nicola showed it yesterday, but I wasn't sure. Now I think I'm going to have to have it.
Woohooooo!!!! That is so exciting April!!!!!!! I am hepped up for you!
Okay I have seen the Noel Sampler before and debated about it. I now need this sampler!! ❤❤❤
Thanks for the laughs ladies and LOVE watching you two!!!
Thanks for watching and leaving such a nice comment! Now go get the Noel Sampler!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 it's on the way 😄😄
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos! I look forward to each one. When I’ve had enough of the news, I often go back and watch an old one, just to cheer me up!😀
That is just the nicest thing to say Ann! Thank you so very much!!!!! Hugs!
Serial starter... such an appropriate name. I'm joining you with lots of starts in the works...
Brenda, gorgeous frame! Just perfect!
Yes Candra!!! Serial starts are where it's at!!! Enjoy!
Hi guys. Fun watching you two. In such a depressing time, you add interesting and fun information. Also, great enablers. I was recently at a cross stitch shop in Canton, OHIO on Whipple Avenue. It is “Little Creek Needleworks” , and shop owner is Patty Boone. Fantastic shop, easy to find, as it is not far from the Football Hall of Fame. A must stop for our shopping adventures. So, a drop off for husbands at the Hall of Fame and onto shopping heaven.
Oh man!!! That sounds perfect Bernie!!!!!! Definitely would not turn down a trip to the "football hall of fame!!!" Hah!!
Ha! I’m an owner of our Accounting Practice so along with the concept that “Rank has privilege” I get to print my charts out whenever I please. It’s even better when the Admin team offer to bind it for me. 😜
You have the perfect system going Jacinta!!!!!!!! Yes!
Oh ladies I love love love you 💕💕 Your stitching is fabulous and your camaraderie is second to none. I wish I had gone to school with you guys 😂😂
Thanks so much Marion!!!!! I wish we could all go to stitching school together right now!!!
Whenever you two make a video it’s like you have come to my house for morning coffee and to tell me all about your stitching. Such a great way to start my day.
I am still waiting for those very scissors you showed Brenda to show up from the Attic.
Laura! What on earth?!?! I could not believe my 👀😲 all that Floss hanging loose with no thread drops, no floss ring and no thread keep?!?! I can’t believe Brenda even let you in the house!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know!!!! But when I start a ton of new projects I don't have time to refine my process! I will try to get it together. It is not pleasant to see a fistful of DMC!! Thanks for your fun comment!!! Hugs!
Wonderful Sunday visit, as always. 😊. Brenda, your Joyous Day and that frame are gorgeous!! I’m with you two on the SAL’s.....it makes me anxious. 😝
Thanks Becky!!! Yes, who needs more anxiety!!! Happy Stitching!
I love, love, love you two! I watch every morning before having to go to work and you both cheer me up no end :)
That is just the nicest thing to say. Thank you so so much Lisa!! We sure appreciate your kind comment!
Ok, it really was Christmas - another visit from you two! ❤️❤️❤️
Awwwww.....you are so sweet to say that Valerie!!!! Hugs!!!
I had so much fun with you both. Sunday was my 70th birthday. Couldn't have picked a nicer way to spend the hour. Brenda, I can't stitch a project when everyone else is stitching it. It makes me nervous. I'll wait til they are all done. Laura, I'm gonna start some Halloween this week also. I need to do just one. Have a couple of good weeks.
Thanks so much Patricia!!! and Happy Birthday!!!!!!! It was a milestone birthday for you!!! I hope you stitched on your Halloween piece!
Thank you for another dose of inspiration! I do love being "retired" and having my time free to stitch and quilt, but I don't get nearly as much done as you'd think. It seems like there's always something pulling me away from what I really want to do. That's how life goes I guess. I'm just the same....seeing a bunch of people stitch on something I want to stich, and I'm out. It's just overload. Probably why I'm terrible at sals...I like to do my own thing. LOL Have a fantastic week!
Thanks Frankie!!!!! Your theories sound right on target!!!!
You make my Sunday nights so much better! Love watching you ladies! This working from home all the time is cutting in on my notebook and pen collection too! 😎
Thanks so much Shelly!!! Hope you can get a few notebooks and pens this week!
Thank you for the shop plug ladies! Brenda, love your frame choice and Laura...we’ll be watching for your compliance 😂. Xoxo Christine
Thank you Christine!!!!!!!!!
Hi ladies 😊 so much fun watching you today! Brenda your fabulous finish of OH JOYOUS DAY is just stunning!! I’ve resisted buying and starting that one but I think it may be Christmas for me soon too😉 thank you both for making us all smile❤️❤️
Thanks so much for watching! and yes, it sounds like you need to get Oh Joyous Day stat!
I really enjoyed your show today. Worked on my mother’s house to get it ready for my brother to have hospice come in. It’s going to take a lot of my free time the next month or so. You made me smile. Just what I needed. Thank you
Sending you lots of love Ida. You are going through a difficult time and we are sending hugs to you and your family!!!!!
Thank you
Prayers for your family
Thanks again for some great entertainment and inspiration!! As usual, I can’t stitch for wanting to see all the beautiful charts you show and Christmas in September! Happy Stitching !!
Thank you Judith!!!
Currently stitching The Bluebird Sampler with the over dyed cottons - loving it! Got it all kitted up at Sassy Jack's and sent to me last year. Love me a Quaker sampler!
It is so beautiful!!! I have it all kitted up....why have I not started it yet! Because great things keep coming out every 2 seconds!!!!
You two! I love watching you both. I feel like we are just friends visiting. Laura, don’t forget to stitch the witch you started. Marching orders! ❤️
Thank you Barbara!!!! You are right...I will put a few stitches in on that cute witch before next time!!!!!!
Always a delight to watch your videos. You two make me smile
Thank you so much Debi!!!
I love you girls, just get it all done. Your both fabulous and fantastic xxxx
Thanks Jane!!!! We are trying to get it all done....but those designers keep putting out more "must stitch" projects!!!! Aren't we all so lucky!
I tried to watch the floss tubers that was from Independence, Mo I could not find it I tried a lot of ways to spell 3 trails. I live in a suburb next to Independence I thought it would be nice to see some one in my area. I love watching your floss tube you have so many pretty pieces and it brightens my day.
I am sorry about that Katherine....please send me an email to duetabode@comcast.net and I will find a link for you so that you can see those floss tubes.
A fresh cup of coffee and watching you ladies made my morning great! I wrote down my own marching orders-I’m hoping Santa brings me a box from the Attic too! Stitch on!
Thanks Diane!!!!!!! I hope Santa brings you presents from the Attic too!
you two gave me the giggles......feels so good to smile, thanks
Thank you Laura!!!!!! Stitching brings us all so much happiness!
Hi Brenda and Laura-Thank you, thank you! I won an Ann Dale chart (bottom portion) because of you two but especially Laura! My winning comment was you should always have a Red sampler going because Laura said so!! Thank you again Stacey Nineoneone Stitcher♥️
That is so exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for promoting a law as your winning comment!!!! Yes! Happy Stitching!!
🤗 Brenda I’m like you (even though I’m retired) I have to get my yard/house work done before I can enjoy the stitching. And keep the jobs done up every day so there’s not a pile of work to do at once.
Laura listen to Brenda she won’t steer you wrong (but I think you know that)!
Always enjoy the visit ladies and that cuckoo clock cracks me up!! You both take care. ❤️❤️
Thanks so much Carlene!!!!
Hello Ladies 🙋🏻♀️, LOVE your videos!!! Since you mentioned new floss tubers I have a suggestion of a lady I just recently came across. Her name is Lynn and her channel is Lancashire Stitcher. She seems so sweet and has some lovely projects, she has 2 videos up so far. Best Wishes and cannot wait to see your progress Brenda on your new project and Laura I hope you keep to your marching orders 😉
Thanks Denise!!! Will definitely check out Lynn's floss tube!!! I sort of stuck to my marching orders...we will see what happens come Sunday!
