GO HABS GO!!!! What a surprise your sweatshirt was!!!! My grandmother would of been so happy to see that. She was a lifetime fan of the team and on her 100th birthday she got the visit from 6 players from the team who brought her an autographed picture of the whole team, she was over the moon and was able to name each players that came that day. Upon going back to her room, she had received a picture from the pope, she removed it and put the picture of the Canadians team in its place, what a day that was for her. She lived to the right old age of 103 and never missed a game. Tks for the memory your sweatshirt brought back. And Thank You ladies for being there for all of us during these uneasy times.
It’s all about enjoying your stitching, if you’re not happy with the fabric or stitches then move on! Life’s too short to not be enjoying your work. I’ve loved spending this time with you.💕🤩🇦🇺
Brenda- I love you! You are so freeing!! Forget that whole cross on 40 count one over one! Laura- I love your face when Brenda says the comment about the Brenda Keyes sampler being all cross stitch! You both are the best and if you rent an rv to go to the Attic, you must do a daily vlog because that would be the highlight of my year! Lol
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 Yes! I am most definitely in for that! We would need an extra driver for the trailer to drive everyone's "stash acquisitions"!
Brenda....I was so happy to hear you say you are not putting anything pandemic in your Stitching!! I thought I was the only one to feel that way. I don't ever want to think about it again. Don't need my Stitching to remind me. GMTA💗 KATHY
All my project bags have the round tags,and I agree with Brenda that I love the sound they make! A.though I am more of a magnanimous stitcher like Brenda, I do get jealous of Laura and all her starts. If only I could stitch faster or even be able to stay up later, but alas, the projects I already have going will take years to finish. Sigh. It is so much fun to see what both of you are doing and see your wonderful acquisitions. Thanks for another excellent video!❣️❣️❣️
Oh Laura, your new bags are fabulous!!! It was such fun to see what's on the immediate radar for both of you - there are so many gorgeous things to stitch. I think I am going to start stitching The Farms of Hawk Run Hollow in the new year as I have had it kitted for years to do in memory of my dad. All Joys for Thine is just gorgeous! Brenda, I was laughing when you said you were not commemorating 2020 on any sampler as I couldn't wait to stitch the pandemic info into And They Sinned. Thanks as always ladies. Happy Thanksgiving, stay safe and happy stitching.
A friend shared your channel a few weeks ago and you've been the joy of my days ever since!!! Been binging your episodes and now loving your 2019 Christmas flosstubes. I hope someone comes along to help you monetize your talents....your sayings on project bags, shirts, thread keepers....mmmhmmm...I can see that! My job ended just as covid started so as I figure out what's next I know for sure I want to see it like you do....work to stitch...do there work but get through it thinking of our joy of stitching and the next shopping trip or retreat. Can't wait for those days to come!!
As always, I loved the video! And I have a couple of ideas for you. Laura - instead of an RV, I think you need to charter a bus to The Attic next year. That way you can pick up stitchers along the way (I'm in Colorado if you want to stop) and you can stitch while someone else does the driving. Brenda - Deb at Stitches N' Things in Fenton, MI just mentioned in her newsletter last Sunday that she is hoping to retire, but she can't until she finds someone who will love her store and her customers just as much as she does. Just a thought! (And I would be honored to be a model stitcher for you!)
Waiting patiently, sort of, for Sunday. You ladies bring be such JOY! Your FFO’s, FO’s, WIPS, new starts, on the radar, plans .....😍 This week I discovered Lisa Abbey’s Needleworks and she gave you such a sweet shoutout in her episode 32. I got my Book of Days 2021, and the BIG sticker book 🤪 Oh yes, and all your shares, tips, and haul.
Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you both enjoy your day with family and friends. I bought the Elizabeth Baker design too. My mother's oldest sister was named Elizabeth Baker. My Aunt died two years ago and I'm planning on stitching this sampler in her memory.She was 96!! My mom came from a family of ten. Sadly, I only have three Aunts that are still living. Loved the project bags you showed. Especially the ones with the vintage embroidery!! What a great way to preserve those stitched pieces! 😊❤
I agree about white Floss ! Ugh I hated using it until I heard Stephanie from Just keep Stitchin about " railroading" my white stitches!! WOW what an awesome idea!! My white stitches are so much neater. I do prefer B5200 and 3865 DMC Floss !! Hope it helps someone else !! Love you two crack me up every time !😂😂😂
I have watched a couple of your recent flosstube videos and now I started binging from #1. What I would like to say is thank you. I never had an interest in stitching samplers. I can only stitch on 14ct aida because of my eyesight. I realize that I would be unable to stitch many of the samplers because the sizes of those finished on 14ct would be enough to probably wrap around my house! So I will stitch certain sections that appeal to me. You bring joy to my day, laughter and friendship and I appreciate you both sharing your passion and love of stitching. Happy Thanksgiving!
Well ladies my stitchy bug flew off and I don't know when she is returning ! So I have been crocheting afghans for the cold weather. As usual I enjoy your podcast and really get a kick out of you together. Everything you showed is so fun and I enjoy seeing all the goodies.
I truly love you gals! You never fail to bring joy to my week....well at least the week you do a flosstube! Wonderful projects and plans, always such fun, huh? You both have a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving week! Now to go and check out Jacob's new flosstube, itching to see what he has to share!
I find that white anchor covers better than white DMC. Anchor seems more fuzzy maybe? Whatever the reason I do find it works better. Love you guys! Good job Laura giving Brenda marching orders to work on her red sampler every Friday morning.
Why didn't the cuckoo go off when you pulled the thread card off of the ring? Would have been perfect timing! Happy Thanksgiving to you both, I am so thankful to be able to visit with you every 2 weeks. Now, I am off to go loosen my hitches!
Love watching you ladies because episode after episode you show such gorgeous stitching projects and amazing patterns for enabling! Laura I love your idea for a favorite floss color ring. Brenda I hope you can open your own shop some day! Hope you find the time in your lives to get all ...or most...of your stitching projects done! Thanks for another lovely afternoon of stitching chat!
I'm with you Brenda. I do not want to commemorate the pandemic nor this year. In fact, I don't even like stitching 2020 on my projects. Laura, when you showed Winifred Glarke, I immediately put it on my wish list. Love the red and green. Did you know that Pineberry Lane has a website where you can get downloadable or paper patterns and floss packs for some of her designs? I bought Sarah Platt with the overdyed floss pack directly from her. Thanks, Brenda and Laura, for another inspiring video.
Happy Thanksgiving Brenda and Laura! So had to stop just twice this episode for Auld Lang Syne and Cranberry Christmas. I need to finish my Satsuma Street Menorah: Peace and Light before I can move on to something else though. When I pull the colors for Satsuma Street charts, I am always very hesitant, but then it all comes together and I LOVE it! I guess I’m still a 60’s girl at heart. But I stitch all the prim and samplers too. I’m retired, but still need more stitching time! Oh that Knight project bag!!! Unbelievable. When we used to travel, once upon a time, we’d get those linen kitchen towels (Front doors of Dublin, etc.) as souvenirs and gifts - easy to pack and unbreakable. I’ll have to go look and see if we still have some. What a great idea. I’ve got a Sajou chart in honor of my dad, Harold, of Harold at the Battle of Hastings. How amazing would that Knight project bag be for it?! I’ll have to go searching in the linen cupboard. When Brenda opens her store, I’ll be employee #2. I’ll sweep the floor, dust the shelves, run errands and smile.the.entire.time ‘cause that would be mind blowing! Love you two! Take care, Sally in Northern California 😁😷
Y’all are too funny, and too enabling! I love it. I don’t have a hitch in my thread, but some days there’s a hitch in my hip! I’m stitching Early Christmas Morning. Take note on the band... not all borders are equal!! Well, hers aren’t - mine are! Brenda, coffee grunge a piece of linen for your Christmas start. Stuffed here in NC ♥️🦃🤎
You guys are my favorite stitching pair.So many good ideas!!Have a great Thanksgiving if that’s possible in the times we are in!Anyway moving along keep stitching!!!!🍁
Hi Ladies! Great video as always. Brenda, your framed pieces you just received are so gorgeous! And Laura, those bags from Deborah Harry are fantastic!! I hope you both have a wonderful Thanksgiving and happy stitching over the next two weeks!! 🦃🦃🍁🦉🍂🐿🍁🦔🍂🐿🧡🤎💛
What fun to listen to you both. When Laura pulled that peachy floss off, I just had to laugh.! I like the idea of having a favorite floss ring. Then when you need a couple more things in an order, you can order them instead of some random colors. Plus I would know what color to choose when I change something. Preplanning! Happy thanksgiving.
Love all of your WIPS ❤️. They are very pretty. Love the Fabric and the Floss Colors. I love all of the Patterns that you will be stitching. They are just beautiful. Happy Thanksgiving ❤️🦃❤️ Happy Stitching ❤️XX❤️
Oh Ladies - I am going backwards and watching older flosstubes. (because 2 weeks is too long to wait to watch you all!) Anyway - you made me snort with laughter when you told Laura she could be your first employee "in charge of starts"! Love you guys!
Had to laugh with Laura when Brenda said that the samplers “Had no funny busy in them”! Wishing you both a Happy Thanksgiving! We all have so much to be thankful for.
Ladies, I must say you guys are real enablers! I have spent so much money since watching you. I would attend SS (stop stashing) if there was one in the area So thank goodness I can’t find any local meetings!!! Seriously though, love your videos and sharing so much good stuff.
Your videos have just gotten better and better. I enjoy your discussions and watching your special friendship. You are both so fortunate. How did you meet? I have missed that story. I think the most entertaining videos were when you had to be under quarantine and went through such pains to make your videos. The one where Laura was caught unawares, sans makeup in her robe will always be my favorite. What a trooper! I lost my husband a week ago and watching the two of you has gotten me thru tough days and nights. Thanks to flosstube, I can visit my fellow stitchers when I need to have company. You never fail me, you are always there smiling. Thank you.
Oh my gosh, I LOVE you ladies so much. You are such a joy to watch, my husbands laughs at me laughing with you and I HAVE to thank you for it. My mission in life now is to stitch the Jane Southard "La Maison Rouge" I'm in love love love with it. I hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving , stay healthy and enjoy your stitching :).
You both are so awesome! I watch your podcast with pen and paper at the ready to jot down ideas for my projects for the year 2030, LOL (sorry I’m really slow...).Laura, I work in a law office too and they would go nuts over the RBG bag!! Best I’ve done as far as her image is a coffee mug (a gift!) using an interesting hand gesture - which stays home (!!!) - and a mask with her famous quote on it.
Hi guys!! Almost spit out my Diet Pepsi when you said you were going to rent and RV and drive to The Attic this year if necessary!! ALTHOUGH, I feel the same way. I told Jean in an email that I am homesick for The Attic. Hey, you guys, could just swing thru Kansas and pick me up on the way!! Brenda, if you haven’t tried stitching with the 100/3 thread yet you are in for a real treat-I just love using it. I am more than ready to start traveling to all those stitching destinations and getting together with stitchy friends!! Debbie Wolfe in Kansas
I love your videos but they take a long time for me to watch. When you say, “you need to go to Instagram and check out XXXXXX,” I literally pause the video and go to IG and check that person out. I scroll through their feed, admire their beautiful stitching and inevitably find a pattern or two I want to stitch. So then, I have to grab the notebook where I keep my wish list and add the charts so I remember to remember that I want to stitch them. Then, back I come to you to resume your video. This usually happens a couple of times. 🤪 I look forward to your videos, appreciate your passion for all things stitching and wish you both a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
Yet another great video girls 😍.. stitchy tip just run those tight ‘hitches’ or bobbinated threads through your hair straighteners & they’ll be perfect .. works with all threads 😁
I love and am adopting Laura’s idea of starting a floss ring of favorite floss colors. I have some free patterns that I want to stitch in one color. It will be fun to do them in a favorite. Thank you for the inspiration and laughter today, great episode!
I’m laughing over so many things today, loosening your hitch will forever stick in my mind and partying in my pjs I can relate to! I too love Pineberry Lane.... especially for my smalls. I just did a whopping order to Country Sampler and gave into Mary Argent too. So appreciative of your sweet compliments about sis and I. We have got to do a beach week and stitch like crazy ! Stay safe and eat all the turkey !!!! ❤️
Laura, you crack me up with your "how mature", too funny! Brenda, your Manor at Quaker Hill is beautiful, as is Ann Pegg. Happy Thanksgiving to both of you! Marilyn
Thanks a bunch for your suggestions on white thread! I will check out your recommendations. Thanks to you two I discovered Seraphim Fabrics. Their linen is definitely my go to ..... love their Newcastle 40ct! Have a great and safe holiday!
Ok Brenda, I want to work at your shop too! I’ve always wanted to own a shop or at least work at one! Love the bags Laura. Those ones with the vintage linens are to die for!
Hi Brenda, ,HI Laura! I have a smile on my face to see you pop up! I got my Needlework Press calendar for 2021 last week! Laura you are wearing a Habs hoodie!!! Oh my - I dont know if my Leafs heart can take it! Ha ha Happy Thanksgiving my friends!
So much knowledge my brain is jumbled! ! Saw the Winter Rose Manor and thought I needed that . Then I saw that’s what I just ordered and it’s on its way. Laura…I also work in a law firm 🤪
New drool worthy bags - phrases galore - great stitching and stash . That’s what you call a fun time viewing your FT. What a party !!! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Brenda and Laura and Happy stitching !!!
Ok, seriously, someone needs to into rehab for addiction to project bags. You guys are a "hoot". My first floss tube of your that I have watched. Lots of info.
Happy Thanksgiving Brenda and Laura as well as all the stitchy friends out there. It always makes me smile when I get to watch your floss tube and I always look forward to them. I wish I could be there to share in the joy with your both. And Brenda I'm like you do what makes you happy and if you don't like the fabric move on to what you like. Life is too short and there are too many things we want to do without having to do something that doesn't truly make us happy. Keep on stitching and enjoy every stitch! Love you both!
What a treat to watch you guys on a quiet Sunday evening and get out my stitching! Brenda love love that All Joys for Thine and the frame... just exquisite. And Laura your project bags are making me drool : ) I have been eyeing Mary Lindsay (Chessie and Me) for a while darn it, you talked me into it : ) : ) have a wonderful Thanksgiving you two bright shining lights in the needlework world!!!
Laura, your first Deborah Harry bag you showed has a pattern that I got from my grandmother that is embroidered on a small round table cloth. I keep it on my cedar chest. It must have been a popular pattern back in the day. Thanks for sharing your passion ladies!
Oh my goodness... that GiGi R pattern that you’re planning to start is gorgeous. It would look great on Vintage Bees Wax by R & R. I loved seeing you ladies today. I just drove across your area ( i think) the other day and thought of you. One day we’ll meet.
I am with Brenda I stitch nothing about covid. I say why I am living it. I love R&R winter brew . I stitch alot on it. And cherry cobbler is the best red overdye there is. 😉 I am going to try and stitch 21 in 21 old wips. Happy Thanksgiving
I have COVID and I’m getting better everyday, it’s a little depressing at times, but when Laura said “ we’re among friends “ I smiled for the first time in days. It’s funny to me how I feel like I know you two so well, and you have no clue who I am. Lol. I look forward to your flosstubes every week. Thank you for the time and effort. ❤️
Hi ladies! Happy Thanksgiving! I’m very thankful for you both as you e brought immeasurable joy to my life via your Flosstube. I truly treasure the time I spend watching you two interact and everything about the way you discuss stitching. Thank you very, very much. #loosenyourhitch 🤣❤️
I've been using DMC 3865 in the place of CCW 12 Grain for Priscilla and Chelsea's Cup Patterns. I think the coverage is fantastic! I also use Sulky Black in the place of DMC 310 and think that the coverage is better with that thread as well. I'm not a fan of how DMC 310 fluffs as you use it. Happy Thanksgiving, guys! 🦃
A crossstitch shop would be a wonderful addiction to all of us. And I would love to be a fly on the wall listening to you two hysterical ladies! Thanks fir sharing your love of crossstitch. ❤️
I'm thankful for you ladies. Such a joy to be inspired and enabled by your awesomeness. I hope for peace and happiness as you and your families celebrate the holidays.
I would love to wander around Brenda's house......I can only imagine how beautiful the stitching would be!! I am not putting anything pandemic related in my stitching either. I don't want/need to be reminded. Love you ladies and I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for all the wonderful stichiness you bring us. Even if you constantly enable me. :-)
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!! May you all be blessed in Jesus name!! Thank you for continuing your awesome videos and giving us the pleasure of seeing all the stitching goodies! 😍 Laura: love the Montreal Canadiens sweater!! I knew that cuckoo cuckoo clock was agreeing with your fabric choice- as I was yelling at the tv!! The timing was perfect 👌 lol 😂 Have a great Stitching and Turkey week !! 🦃 love Jen and Fred in the Can-Can. (Canada) lol
This episode is an instant classic that I'll be watching over and over again! So thankful for you two and the companionship you've given me throughout the year.
So Laura, what size UHaul did you get to bring everything to Brenda’s! And, Brenda, Laura will be your best customer in your needlework shop. First on the list of must haves......a high speed, high capacity printer for you two! 😂👍
You should have a shop together. I had my own shop that I designed all the furniture and everything g. I am a custom tailor and being able to make it your own is beyond your wildest dreams. If you can do it go for it.
I just love you guys! I also watched Jacob yesterday, and your right, he is easy to listen to and I love all the history. I was enamored with his design style so I signed up for his 2021 SAL and I am going to do the 2 color option, Dark and Light Blue. Wish me luck!!!
Always look forward to your Sunday floss tubes! This time I was knitting instead of stitching 👍🏻. Brenda, before you mentioned that you wanted a store, I was thinking to myself, Brenda needs to open a store after she retires from her current job! You can have it right in Mt Prospect by the knitting shop! I will also work there...I’m real close ya know 😉. Laura, I LOVE you favorite flosses ring idea! 👏🏻 ❤️ Stacey
Thank you for giving me a smile this gloomy rainy/snowy day. I have come to just watch your video with notebook in hand scribbling notes about projects, threads and fabric. No way can I stitch and keep track since the remote is glued to my hand...STOP, I need to write that down every 5 minutes🥰. You two are a hoot just watching your playful interaction. Brenda the wall paint color behind you is perfect for displaying your pieces. Is it blue or gray?
Thank you so much Jacob!!!!!!! Having your approval for the linen I picked for Joan Sands is great!!!!! Makes me more confident! We are very much looking forward to your next floss tube. The first one was so good!!!!!!!!
Great video! The project bags are super. BTW, the needlepoint is Puss in Boots, not just any ol' ordinary kitten. Okay, now I need to go order things, always necessary after your videos!!
Ohhh I love everything but when you busted out Joyeux Noel I almost cried because I want that one so much! Hope you do that one soon!! And the framed All Joy to Thine is perfect!! Love all the projects!! My tracking says the two pieces I sent to Total Framing made it! I’m so excited!! Thanks for the encouragement!! Happy Thanksgiving!! Blessings!! 🧡🦃
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 :I just ordered a thread set from Traditional stitches! I had ordered the fabric and pattern thinking maybe I had the threads but alas it was not to be. Then I heard they had extra sets of silks!! I probably won't get it in time but soon!! I will watch from the wings!!
I totally agree! Im not adding any Pandemic sh*t to any of my pieces. (There’s just no better word to use). Lol! 🤣 And life is too short to use floss you don’t like and fabric that you don’t like either. Happy Thanksgiving to you both Xxoo ❤️❤️
Happy Thanksgiving to you two! I started my day with Prairie Schooler Songs of the Season and you lovely ladies. I'm always in awe of your finishes and want to start all the things you do. Happy stitching!
Hi Ladies, two pearls on this episode: 1) when I say party I mean stitching, 2) no monkey business 🤣🤣🤣🤣. You cracked me up‼️ I’ve already kitted up Red House Sampler by The Sampler Company. I did my own thread conversion and I’m going to stitch with Au ver a soie silk. It might be my new year new start. 🥰🥰🥰 Love you Ladies. Thanks for sharing all those gorgeousnesses with us. Happy stitching. Xoxo. Miriam
"You're my first employee....in charge of starts"......I'm dying.......LMAO!
I would be so good at the job!!!! Right????
"And when I say party I mean stitching" that's a new instant classic line!
Yes! We need to start using that freely!!!!!
GO HABS GO!!!! What a surprise your sweatshirt was!!!! My grandmother would of been so happy to see that.

Oh man!!! That would be so much fun Diana!! How about a caravan of RVs going to the Attic????
I’m in!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 Yes! I am most definitely in for that! We would need an extra driver for the trailer to drive everyone's "stash acquisitions"!
I say we caravan to The Attic this summer - Covid or no Covid!
“All cross stitch, no monkey business” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 love it
We love charts with no monkey business!!!

I agree with you, Brenda - no pandemic stitching for me, freebie or purchased. This year is one for which I need no reminders!
No reminders...it is forefront in our minds all the time! Ugh!

I bought the Elizabeth Baker design too. My mother's oldest sister was named Elizabeth Baker. My Aunt died two years ago and I'm planning on stitching this sampler in her memory.She was 96!! My mom came from a family of ten. Sadly, I only have three Aunts that are still living.

I know!!! I wish I had a special button to make the cuckoo sound when I think it would it would be funny!!!!!!
So many great ideas for new starts! I need to STOP watching you guys!!! I can't keep up. Have a safe holiday.
We cannot keep up with ourselves either so just jump in and enjoy!!!!!!! Thanks Linda!

Take note on the band... not all borders are equal!! Well, hers aren’t - mine are! Brenda, coffee grunge a piece of linen for your Christmas start. Stuffed here in NC ♥️🦃🤎
You guys are my favorite stitching pair.So many good ideas!!Have a great Thanksgiving if that’s possible in the times we are in!Anyway moving along keep stitching!!!!🍁
“What in the hell are you stitchin’ on that for?”
When this ‘Rona bs is over, I want to stitch with you gals! 🤣😂🤣😂
Yes, we all need to stitch together ASAP after this rona bs!!!!!!
Enabling enabling enabling!!!!...thanks for a great video as always...hope you both have a lovely thanksgiving...happy stitching Cheers!
Hi Ladies! Great video as always. Brenda, your framed pieces you just received are so gorgeous! And Laura, those bags from Deborah Harry are fantastic!! I hope you both have a wonderful Thanksgiving and happy stitching over the next two weeks!! 🦃🦃🍁🦉🍂🐿🍁🦔🍂🐿🧡🤎💛
What fun to listen to you both. When Laura pulled that peachy floss off, I just had to laugh.! I like the idea of having a favorite floss ring. Then when you need a couple more things in an order, you can order them instead of some random colors. Plus I would know what color to choose when I change something. Preplanning! Happy thanksgiving.
Love all of your WIPS ❤️. They are very pretty. Love the Fabric and the Floss Colors.
I love all of the Patterns that you will be stitching. They are just beautiful.
Happy Thanksgiving ❤️🦃❤️
Happy Stitching ❤️XX❤️
Oh Ladies - I am going backwards and watching older flosstubes. (because 2 weeks is too long to wait to watch you all!) Anyway - you made me snort with laughter when you told Laura she could be your first employee "in charge of starts"! Love you guys!
Had to laugh with Laura when Brenda said that the samplers “Had no funny busy in them”! Wishing you both a Happy Thanksgiving! We all have so much to be thankful for.
Thank you Diane!!! We love samplers that have no funny business in them!
Ladies, I must say you guys are real enablers! I have spent so much money since watching you. I would attend SS (stop stashing) if there was one in the area So thank goodness I can’t find any local meetings!!! Seriously though, love your videos and sharing so much good stuff.
I'll be your 2nd employee Brenda, but it might be a long commute. LOL. Love you ladies. Have a great couple of weeks. So thankful for you.
Your videos have just gotten better and better. I enjoy your discussions and watching your special friendship. You are both so fortunate. How did you meet? I have missed that story. I think the most entertaining videos were when you had to be under quarantine and went through such pains to make your videos. The one where Laura was caught unawares, sans makeup in her robe will always be my favorite. What a trooper! I lost my husband a week ago and watching the two of you has gotten me thru tough days and nights. Thanks to flosstube, I can visit my fellow stitchers when I need to have company. You never fail me, you are always there smiling. Thank you.
Oh my gosh, I LOVE you ladies so much. You are such a joy to watch, my husbands laughs at me laughing with you and I HAVE to thank you for it. My mission in life now is to stitch the Jane Southard "La Maison Rouge" I'm in love love love with it. I hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving , stay healthy and enjoy your stitching :).
You both are so awesome! I watch your podcast with pen and paper at the ready to jot down ideas for my projects for the year 2030, LOL (sorry I’m really slow...).Laura, I work in a law office too and they would go nuts over the RBG bag!! Best I’ve done as far as her image is a coffee mug (a gift!) using an interesting hand gesture - which stays home (!!!) - and a mask with her famous quote on it.
Hi guys!! Almost spit out my Diet Pepsi when you said you were going to rent and RV and drive to The Attic this year if necessary!! ALTHOUGH, I feel the same way. I told Jean in an email that I am homesick for The Attic. Hey, you guys, could just swing thru Kansas and pick me up on the way!! Brenda, if you haven’t tried stitching with the 100/3 thread yet you are in for a real treat-I just love using it. I am more than ready to start traveling to all those stitching destinations and getting together with stitchy friends!! Debbie Wolfe in Kansas
I love your videos but they take a long time for me to watch. When you say, “you need to go to Instagram and check out XXXXXX,” I literally pause the video and go to IG and check that person out. I scroll through their feed, admire their beautiful stitching and inevitably find a pattern or two I want to stitch. So then, I have to grab the notebook where I keep my wish list and add the charts so I remember to remember that I want to stitch them. Then, back I come to you to resume your video. This usually happens a couple of times. 🤪 I look forward to your videos, appreciate your passion for all things stitching and wish you both a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
Yet another great video girls 😍.. stitchy tip just run those tight ‘hitches’ or bobbinated threads through your hair straighteners & they’ll be perfect .. works with all threads 😁
I love and am adopting Laura’s idea of starting a floss ring of favorite floss colors. I have some free patterns that I want to stitch in one color. It will be fun to do them in a favorite. Thank you for the inspiration and laughter today, great episode!
Thanks Denise!!! Glad you like the idea! I am sure it is not an original idea, but it was original to me and I was excited!
I’m laughing over so many things today, loosening your hitch will forever stick in my mind and partying in my pjs I can relate to! I too love Pineberry Lane.... especially for my smalls. I just did a whopping order to Country Sampler and gave into Mary Argent too. So appreciative of your sweet compliments about sis and I. We have got to do a beach week and stitch like crazy ! Stay safe and eat all the turkey !!!! ❤️
Laura, you crack me up with your "how mature", too funny!
Brenda, your Manor at Quaker Hill is beautiful, as is Ann Pegg.
Happy Thanksgiving to both of you!
Marilyn
Thank you so much Marilyn!!!
Thanks a bunch for your suggestions on white thread! I will check out your recommendations. Thanks to you two I discovered Seraphim Fabrics. Their linen is definitely my go to ..... love their Newcastle 40ct! Have a great and safe holiday!
Ok Brenda, I want to work at your shop too! I’ve always wanted to own a shop or at least work at one!
Love the bags Laura. Those ones with the vintage linens are to die for!
Pam!!! We can work the same shift together right????? Think of the hee-hawing around we could get up to!!!! Love you!
Hi Brenda, ,HI Laura! I have a smile on my face to see you pop up! I got my Needlework Press calendar for 2021 last week! Laura you are wearing a Habs hoodie!!! Oh my - I dont know if my Leafs heart can take it! Ha ha Happy Thanksgiving my friends!
So much fun. Thankful for your lovely uplifting videos. Have a great week
oh man! Please open a shop. I will travel wherever you are! You two are the BEST!!!
In our dreams!!!!!!
So much knowledge my brain is jumbled! ! Saw the Winter Rose Manor and thought I needed that . Then I saw that’s what I just ordered and it’s on its way. Laura…I also work in a law firm 🤪
I hope you both and your families have a Happy Thanksgiving! Another great floss tube!
I Love watching you two ladies, I finally jumped in and started a RUclips/FlossTube channel, so much fun, Thank You for your inspiration!❤️❤️❤️
New drool worthy bags - phrases galore - great stitching and stash . That’s what you call a fun time viewing your FT. What a party !!! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Brenda and Laura and Happy stitching !!!
Ok, seriously, someone needs to into rehab for addiction to project bags. You guys are a "hoot". My first floss tube of your that I have watched. Lots of info.
Thanks so much Roseanne!!!! Yes, we have a project bag problem for sure!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving Brenda and Laura as well as all the stitchy friends out there. It always makes me smile when I get to watch your floss tube and I always look forward to them. I wish I could be there to share in the joy with your both. And Brenda I'm like you do what makes you happy and if you don't like the fabric move on to what you like. Life is too short and there are too many things we want to do without having to do something that doesn't truly make us happy. Keep on stitching and enjoy every stitch! Love you both!
What a treat to watch you guys on a quiet Sunday evening and get out my stitching! Brenda love love that All Joys for Thine and the frame... just exquisite. And Laura your project bags are making me drool : ) I have been eyeing Mary Lindsay (Chessie and Me) for a while darn it, you talked me into it : ) : ) have a wonderful Thanksgiving you two bright shining lights in the needlework world!!!
Laura, your first Deborah Harry bag you showed has a pattern that I got from my grandmother that is embroidered on a small round table cloth. I keep it on my cedar chest. It must have been a popular pattern back in the day. Thanks for sharing your passion ladies!
Do what makes you happy Brenda! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families!
Oh my goodness... that GiGi R pattern that you’re planning to start is gorgeous. It would look great on Vintage Bees Wax by R & R. I loved seeing you ladies today. I just drove across your area ( i think) the other day and thought of you. One day we’ll meet.
Enjoyed seeing all your projects. Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful. Happy Stitching!
Thank you Merritt!!! Hope yours was wonderful too!!!
I am with Brenda I stitch nothing about covid. I say why I am living it. I love R&R winter brew . I stitch alot on it. And cherry cobbler is the best red overdye there is. 😉 I am going to try and stitch 21 in 21 old wips. Happy Thanksgiving
I have COVID and I’m getting better everyday, it’s a little depressing at times, but when Laura said “ we’re among friends “ I smiled for the first time in days. It’s funny to me how I feel like I know you two so well, and you have no clue who I am. Lol. I look forward to your flosstubes every week. Thank you for the time and effort. ❤️
I hope you have a speedy recovery Noelle. Thanks so much for your kind comment.
Hi ladies! Happy Thanksgiving! I’m very thankful for you both as you e brought immeasurable joy to my life via your Flosstube. I truly treasure the time I spend watching you two interact and everything about the way you discuss stitching. Thank you very, very much. #loosenyourhitch 🤣❤️
Happy Thanksgiving! Always wonderful to spend time with you.
You both are so inspiring. I want to start all the samplers I have kitted up.
I've been using DMC 3865 in the place of CCW 12 Grain for Priscilla and Chelsea's Cup Patterns. I think the coverage is fantastic! I also use Sulky Black in the place of DMC 310 and think that the coverage is better with that thread as well. I'm not a fan of how DMC 310 fluffs as you use it. Happy Thanksgiving, guys! 🦃
A crossstitch shop would be a wonderful addiction to all of us. And I would love to be a fly on the wall listening to you two hysterical ladies! Thanks fir sharing your love of crossstitch. ❤️
I'm thankful for you ladies. Such a joy to be inspired and enabled by your awesomeness. I hope for peace and happiness as you and your families celebrate the holidays.
I would love to wander around Brenda's house......I can only imagine how beautiful the stitching would be!! I am not putting anything pandemic related in my stitching either. I don't want/need to be reminded. Love you ladies and I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for all the wonderful stichiness you bring us. Even if you constantly enable me. :-)
You ladies are so fun and I adore you both!!! I am so thankful for you two. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you Shelia!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!! May you all be blessed in Jesus name!! Thank you for continuing your awesome videos and giving us the pleasure of seeing all the stitching goodies! 😍 Laura: love the Montreal Canadiens sweater!! I knew that cuckoo cuckoo clock was agreeing with your fabric choice- as I was yelling at the tv!! The timing was perfect 👌 lol 😂 Have a great Stitching and Turkey week !! 🦃 love Jen and Fred in the Can-Can. (Canada) lol
This episode is an instant classic that I'll be watching over and over again! So thankful for you two and the companionship you've given me throughout the year.
What a high compliment!!!!!! Thank you so very much Vondalee!!!!!!!!!! Hugs to you!!!!!
So Laura, what size UHaul did you get to bring everything to Brenda’s! And, Brenda, Laura will be your best customer in your needlework shop. First on the list of must haves......a high speed, high capacity printer for you two! 😂👍
You should have a shop together. I had my own shop that I designed all the furniture and everything g. I am a custom tailor and being able to make it your own is beyond your wildest dreams. If you can do it go for it.
I just love you guys! I also watched Jacob yesterday, and your right, he is easy to listen to and I love all the history. I was enamored with his design style so I signed up for his 2021 SAL and I am going to do the 2 color option, Dark and Light Blue. Wish me luck!!!
Always look forward to your Sunday floss tubes! This time I was knitting instead of stitching 👍🏻. Brenda, before you mentioned that you wanted a store, I was thinking to myself, Brenda needs to open a store after she retires from her current job! You can have it right in Mt Prospect by the knitting shop! I will also work there...I’m real close ya know 😉. Laura, I LOVE you favorite flosses ring idea! 👏🏻
❤️ Stacey
Laura - When your floss "flew" off from the floss card, I chuckled -- made me think the HITCH was way too tight!! Love both of you :))).
Thank you for giving me a smile this gloomy rainy/snowy day. I have come to just watch your video with notebook in hand scribbling notes about projects, threads and fabric. No way can I stitch and keep track since the remote is glued to my hand...STOP, I need to write that down every 5 minutes🥰. You two are a hoot just watching your playful interaction. Brenda the wall paint color behind you is perfect for displaying your pieces. Is it blue or gray?
Happy Thanksgiving to you.I love your video's and seeing all you do. Makes me want to go out and buy buy buy everything. See you next time.
Thanks Gaila!
Lovely episode again ladies - and thank you so much for the shoutout! I love the linen you've picked for Joan Sands!!!
Thank you so much Jacob!!!!!!! Having your approval for the linen I picked for Joan Sands is great!!!!! Makes me more confident! We are very much looking forward to your next floss tube. The first one was so good!!!!!!!!
I only understand or know about 60% of what you guys talk about, but you are truly so much fun to watch,
Great video! The project bags are super. BTW, the needlepoint is Puss in Boots, not just any ol' ordinary kitten. Okay, now I need to go order things, always necessary after your videos!!
I have so many of the Sampler Company charts to stitch! I hope you start one so maybe I will..... Happy 🦃 Thanksgiving to both of you!
I am sure it will be started in the new year Faye! Will keep you posted!
Well that was wonderful. And Laura those bags so delicious. Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ohhh I love everything but when you busted out Joyeux Noel I almost cried because I want that one so much! Hope you do that one soon!! And the framed All Joy to Thine is perfect!! Love all the projects!!
My tracking says the two pieces I sent to Total Framing made it! I’m so excited!! Thanks for the encouragement!!
Happy Thanksgiving!! Blessings!! 🧡🦃
I agree with you about Jacob’s flosstube. It was wonderful. He is such a lovely person. I ordered PWE 1858 as soon as I saw it.
I just want to stitch everything of his!!!!!! Gorgeous!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 Well that is also true! I think I will do the 2020 sal this next year. 😃
Thank you Ladies!! You are wonderful as always! I had to go get my threads for Ann Morrison to start Dec 5!
Thank you Sue!!!!!! That will be fun on 12/5!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 :I just ordered a thread set from Traditional stitches! I had ordered the fabric and pattern thinking maybe I had the threads but alas it was not to be. Then I heard they had extra sets of silks!! I probably won't get it in time but soon!! I will watch from the wings!!
I totally agree! Im not adding any Pandemic sh*t to any of my pieces. (There’s just no better word to use). Lol! 🤣 And life is too short to use floss you don’t like and fabric that you don’t like either. Happy Thanksgiving to you both Xxoo ❤️❤️
Happy Thanksgiving to you two! I started my day with Prairie Schooler Songs of the Season and you lovely ladies. I'm always in awe of your finishes and want to start all the things you do. Happy stitching!
We are thankful for you too. You always brighten my Sunday when you are on. Saw so many things I want to do.
Betty Lowdermilk I agree - they can really turn a bad day around.
Always enjoy your Flosstube! Wishing you both a Happy Thanksgiving.
Ladies,I hope you both have a blessed Thanksgiving! Enjoy your stitching ....and your family!
Terri TheOldNeedleShop Thanks Terri! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving! Hugs!
#loosenyourhitches. 😂. Another awesome episode! Happy Thanksgiving!🍁🦃🍽
Such a pleasure to watch you both. Happy Thanksgiving.
Hi Ladies, two pearls on this episode: 1) when I say party I mean stitching, 2) no monkey business
🤣🤣🤣🤣. You cracked me up‼️
I’ve already kitted up Red House Sampler by The Sampler Company. I did my own thread conversion and I’m going to stitch with Au ver a soie silk. It might be my new year new start. 🥰🥰🥰
Love you Ladies. Thanks for sharing all those gorgeousnesses with us. Happy stitching. Xoxo. Miriam
I am thankful for you both, although you are such enablers! Many thanks for your videos and sharing...
Thank you so much Marjorie!!! We are grateful for you watching and leaving such nice comments!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE open a shop! I will be your customer. I would even be your cleaning lady.
I love your videos! You are an enabler!!!
I always look forward to the Sundays you ladies are on. I am thankful for stitching and you two. Happy Thanksgiving!🦃
