Thank you for showing the great items you received from The Attic. Sorry you couldn’t be there in person. I really think this year is making us all appreciate the little things in life so much more! Happy stitching 🧵
My eyes filled with tears when you prepared to show us your retreat boxes. 😢. I have never been on a retreat, so can only imagine the thrill of being with so many wonderful people sharing our love of stitching. I am so grateful to be able to experience this kind of friendship with you and other floss tube posters. I pray you can go next year. 🙏I love ALL the projects you showed! Thank you so much! ❤️
Thank you so very kindly for your sweet words Nancy. It is so very nice of you to share the joy with us. Sending you lots of love and best wishes for a wonderful stitching weekend!
Brenda, I just want to come and live in your sewing room! Your box is stupendous!!! I forgot to say how gorgeous your tree that your husband made for you. I am so thrilled for both of you that you received boxes from Summer School! What a terrific box of goodies!!! What a fabulous sampler parade as well...so many choices and not enough hours in the day! Thanks as always ladies. Stay safe and happy stitching!
Thanks so much Wanda! As a visitor to Brenda's stitching room I can attest to the fact that it is definitely a place one would want to hang out in for hours and hours!!!!!
Hello stitchy gals! Love your enthusiasm for beautiful things! It's a comfort, relief (??) to know that other stitchers can be too exhausted after work to stitch...I'm just getting back into cross stitch the past couple of months (quilted for years) and Flosstube, oh my, if I only would have known!! Thanks for sharing the love 🧵🧵
A visit to the Attic is on my bucket list and making it to summer school would be a dream come true. Thank you so much for sharing your goodies. I think we all cried with you, not just for what you missed, but also the kindness of the Attic to send you Summer School in a box.
Brenda and Laura, thank you so much for going through your box from Summer School. I just received my box today (Monday) and then watched your floss tube, it was almost like being at summer school. You helped explain some of the projects that I would not have realized their significance. Like the pillow fits inside the scroll box. Always enjoy watching you two but this one was extra special. Thanks again!
I got onto your floss tube a short while ago and I must say......you two are some of the very best enablers! Hahahaha 😂 and I LOVE it!!! I was at the attic last November for Blackbird and Merry Cox. That’s the first class I’ve had with Blackbird and omg it was a lot of fun. Those two Barb and Alma, are hilarious. Such a fun time. I’ve known Merry for several years and have taken many classes over the years. I hope to attend a summer school at the attic. I’ve done the January symposium which is amazing and I’ve heard a lot about summer school. So fingers crossed! I really want to say to you both that I look so forward to your videos! It keeps me inspired and you both are wonderful women. Hopefully we can meet at a retreat somewhere, sometime. Keep the videos coming and I know I appreciate the work you put into doing it for all of us to enjoy. 🤗 thank you both so much for sharing your beautiful work. Your passion of needlework really comes through and that’s what I enjoy so much! It keeps us “sane”, especially during these times in our lives. ❤️ Jennifer
Thank you so much for the sweet and kind comment Jennfier. WE were at the Attic last November too!!! We only took Barb and Alma's class but it was amazing. Hopefully we can meet the next retreat!
Would love to meet up at a retreat! I always have a great experience at retreats meeting so many talented people and hanging out doing what we love to do! Keep in touch. Never been to a dyeing to stitch retreat.....would love to do that sometime. I’ll be watching you until then, so enjoy seeing your beautiful pieces! 🤗
Ladies! I've been saving you video for some quiet time of stitching and savoring. Thank you so much for showing all your summer school projects. I enjoyed every minute. 💗💗💗
Thank you for sharing your wonderful goodies! So many things I need to seek out in my stitching room. Thank you for taking the time to make such a great video....again! 🤗
Thanks for sharing your summer school kits. Those were so awesome. That event is definitely on my list to attend. I also love that I always learn new phrases and words from Laura. Thanks for all you do and share.
The locusts are taking over the floss tube!!! And the squeaky braking of the truck that went by!!! But the fresh air is wonderful so.....I just started feeling so sad that I couldn’t attend Summer School....I would have been in Wonderland!!! We’ve got to get through this Covid thing to enjoy life again. Thank you for being so cheerful and uplifting! Take Care❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm speechless. So many beautiful samplers to stitch and all the wonderful goodies. I wish that I could travel, but alas that is not possible. I live vicariously through your stories. Have a better week. Sounds like the past week was a nightmare. I'm retired, and I still have nightmare days and weeks. Go figure. Life never gets easier, does it.
Thanks so much Karen!!! Maybe some of these virtual retreats would work for you? The one that Brenda did through Sassy Jack's sounds like it was fabulous. Sign up for newsletters from different shops and see what they have to offer. You may love it! Hope we all have a good week! Hugs!
Here's to wishing you ladies have a fabulous week with easy work - stitching and life . Wonderful Finishes and Wips!!! Love the stash and Oh the goodies from the attic .Wow.
My darlings Brenda and Laura! I am sick as a dog but you are bringing me joy! Now I have never stitched on Linen before this month and my first piece is Seraphim Dusty Road in 32 count. I have never done anything more than 28 count either but the two of you gave me the courage and I LOVE IT! Now I need 11 more pieces of the fabric to finish the FLowers of the Month from this year's Just Cross Stitch (I wanted to start small with my first linen project). But oh my head - I keep going back to that damn grass comment because the word Setpember is 2 over 1 - over 1 good Lord! BUt I still LOVE IT!
How exciting Tammy!!!!!!!! So glad you are having fun with the linen.....I think both of us could live without doing over one for the rest of your lives....but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. It may get a little easier as you go along......or it may just be a pain in the rear forever.... Glad you got Seraphim linen! It is beautiful! Hugs!
You ladies always bring such a positive and happy hour for all of us it is so appreciated. I wish I could have gone to Summer School this year as well hopefully our paths cross again. Thank goodness for Floss Tube🙂
I am not much of a flosstuber, but I have to say, you two are delightful and I really enjoy watching you and all the information you share. You inspire, you are fun, love your enthusiasm, and most of all, you really enjoy each others company. Love the discussions over linen, patterns and threads. Good work Ladies! Hope to meet at the Attic next year.
OMG... I’m crying again!! You two, I swear. Watching the Summer School things. Seeing Brenda tear up. Tanya’s design. Because Tanya is a Genius. I will be stitching Isabella Jackson next year when it comes out. Thank you for showing it all. It was all amazing!! Xoxo
Afternoon Brenda and Laura.. Fabuluss finishes.. Gorgeous Sampler... Beautiful stitcheries ... Wowww that's some new stash ... I am stitching oan Jane Fiddes while visiting with you... Great video... Happy stitching...
Great visit with you two. Sooo happy you received your package from Jean. Next year you will be there and maybe me too and I will get to meet you before I die😷😉❤️
No dying around here!!!!! Let's just all live and stitch until we are 200 years old!!!! All in good health too! I hope we are all there next year!! Thanks Sharon!
Thank you so much for my shout out Laura and Brenda. I’m blown away that you’ve watched and enjoyed my videos...and even more excited that Laura thinks I’m exotic! I’m currently digging out some kind of fruit encrusted headdress for school tomorrow. I pop some pictures up of my local area next video, it is truly stunning! Loved your video again and hope I can live up to my recommendation! Much love and keep safe ❤️
Thank you for watching us Michelle!!!!!! You don't have to live up to anything...your videos are top notch already!!! I could watch you all day long! Look forward to your next one with pictures of your area. Hugs!!!!!!!!
Wow! Fantastic! Love the finishes, love the WIPs, love what came from Joy (amazing!!), love the Attic goodies. So sorry you ladies had to miss out on that Summer school. It's definitely on my bucket list to attend one of the events at the Attic. Maybe next year??? Fingers crossed we'll be able to travel next year! Thanks for the entertainment. Hope you ladies have a better week this week -- a great one to make up for last week!
Heart Attack and a Hernia!!!!! It was your Podaversary back on the 1st of September😀👏👏👏👏👏👏 Congratulations on Bringing so much joy to the stitching community. I know for me it’s brought me great pleasure especially in the last few months. I live across the pond in Melbourne Australia and have been isolated on my own due to covid since March. Thank you for all you do in taking the time to do these and connecting so many all over the world. You are forever know to me as Aunty Brenda and Aunty Laura and it’s a highlight every time a new episode appears in my feed. Stay safe XxOo
Oh thank you so much for your very kind words!! They just mean the world to us!!! I wish we could all live close to each other so that we could all spend time stitching together...but floss tube is a good substitute for now! Hugs!
OMG, the Attic box was AMAZING!!!!! Loved this video and all the projects. Glad to hear about Sassy Jacks virtual Soirée, sounds like it was a good one. I am almost done with Sarah Spencer, filling in the border, she is a beautiful sampler. Hopefully in the next few days I will get her finished. Happy Stitching
Thank you Renee!!! I hope you are ready to put in the last stitches on Sarah Spencer if you have not finished already! Such a beauty! I am excited to start her!
Another fabulous Flosstube. You definitely have enabled many of us. Glad we have at least a year before the retreat charts are released. I need to stitch faster.
Thank you for another wonderful flosstube! I have to watch again and write notes about all the patterns I need to order! Ladies, you make my day! My prayers for a better work week. We will all get through this unique time with people like you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Fabulous ladies! I have a whole page of notes of designs to look out for. Summer School must be such a wonderful experience - enjoy your new projects. Yummy!! xx
You gals are so fun to watch. Your excitement is contagious! What an incredible box of goodies you received for the cancelled retreat...wow! Fingers crossed you will be able to attend next year. Enjoy your week and stay safe!
Love you guys!! You are my favorite floss tubers by a landslide!!! I am converting my thread from ziplocks to drops so I can be like you. (There should be a comb for the floss on drops. Laura’s mom would approve)
There should be a special comb!!! We should commission Nicole to make one!!!! My Mom would love it, you are right! Thanks Susan!!!!!! p.s. you will love having your threads on drops!! It really is way more fun that way!
Spent an awesome hour stitching along with you wonderful ladies on my Sarah Spencer with the Hoop and Frame fabric and floss kit. Picked up L Genders yesterday at Stitch by Stitch in Cape May too. I totally need it!
That is great Jocelyn!!!!! I (Laura) need to start Sarah Spencer soon...I am in a real start mode lately. Glad you got L. Genders...she is so lovely!!!!! Enjoy!
Miss you when you don’t post. So sorry that you missed your retreat at the attic, but thank you sooo much for sharing your goodies. So many beautiful charts for us to look forward to stitching in the future when they are released next year. Love you both. ❤️❤️❤️
I just love your videos-fabulous and fun! I can only dream of going to the Attic! What fun you must have when you go. Those kits are wonderful too. Thanks for sharing. See yall in two weeks! Happy Stitching! Pam Miller in Alabama
Wonderful visit from you precious ladies! What pretty things you have chosen for Sampler September and my goodness all the beauties from Summer School! A lot to look forward to next season. I can hardly wait for Tanya's sampler. She is fast becoming a favorite of mine. And Brenda, your 'thread winder' is a model of our hated Covid virus. I need to contact Cathy and see if I can buy one for my scrapbooking. Love you all to pieces. Y'all are the highlights in my month.
Thank you so much Darlene! Love reading your comments!!!! So did Cathy confirm that the thread winder is really a model of Covid?? Oh my goodness! Happy Stitching!
Once again you ladies just knocked it out of the park! I so look forward to every other Sunday and was just blown away with your beautiful finishes, fabulous haul and the summer school unveiling brought tears to my eyes! (You were not alone Brenda!). What else can I say? Bravo!!
How many times did I stop your video and go shopping???? Great seeing you both. You make me smile!!! And I cried when you got the Retreat Box-touching❤️
Twice but have ongoing list with them. Ordered the Needlework 2021 calendar so that can’t travel alone !!! Lol! I have a ongoing list!!! Just hope they are ok with the horrific fire!! I foresee a road trip when everything calms down...I wonder when that will be??? See you in two weeks!!♥️
I love you guys and look forward to your videos! Thank you for sharing your beautiful stitching projects! I have been enabled by some of your haul and headed out to make purchases, too! 😀
I am not really a sampler stitcher but your videos a must-see TV for me and I am inspired! I just purchased a Little Gem and I plan to start it as soon as possible. I have a large collection of magazines from the 80s and 90s that were passed on to me and I am finding quite a few samplers I love. I can’t wait for your next video.
Hi Brenda and Laura-you know you’re old when...Stitchers talk about NPI silk thread. I got a glimpse of the label and kinda recognized it. So in my old age I googled NPI silk. Only to be reminded of how old I am. I started cross stitching about and year and a half ago/previously I was a needle pointer -purchasing threads and painted canvases (40 plus years )from...Needlepoint Inc...!!!! Omg!!! It’s like the circle of stitching life!!! Lol!!!😀
Well ladies what a delightful video as always...you made me cry though showing all the beautiful Summer School projects...I was going to be there too until covid struck...Im not normally a cry baby! I am a nurse and we are tough nuts usually but today I felt the loss...Im going to rewatch and make sure I buy all the projects that I should have received in person...might see you both next year? Susan Perth WA.
We will be there next year!!!!!!!! Make a list and then samplers from summer school should be released in about a year. I know nurses are tough...but no one can deal with the sadness of missing a stitching retreat! Especially summer school!!! Thanks Susan!
Love watching you both and that Summer school at the attic would be amazing. The boxes you got were fabulous. Your finishes were amazing too. In fact all your haul was great. Once again, I'm enabled!! I also love Michele - she stitches on super projects. Thank you for doing these videos - I look forward to them so much. Happy stitching.
Y’all keep knocking it put of the park with every episode. Very excited y’all got the retreat goodies because they were all exquisite. ❤️❤️❤️ love you two ❤️❤️❤️
Wow! Absolutely fabulous ! Love what your working on, & what you might work on the choices are endless....Thank you for sharing your treasures from Summer School..glad you were able to receive the projects I know you both will so enjoy stitching them!! I loved Summer School last year my plan was to go again this year but as we all know .......Thank you both for providing such great content see ya in 2 weeks.
Brenda and the Serial Starter I’ve stayed there a couple of times. Very sweet downtown with yrekabakery = best palindrome! My nephew lived on Bainbridge Island for a few years...rather la de dah. He lives in England now though. Holding my breath til your on again.
Brenda.....you enabled me for Wee Santa and the Robin sampler. :-) Laura....love your flower - don't rip it out!!! Love your videos and look forward to seeing what you two have in the works.
Thanks Bonnie!!!!! I will wait until I am done stitching that and see if the flower bugs me too much. But perhaps it will be a cool and quirky look! Glad you were enabled by Brenda!
I was so happy to see your new flosstube and Brenda showing the red box, I LOVE it. Then Laura says "that will cure what ails ya" I laughed out loud, funny and that red box is so so nice.
Great video girls!!! Brenda, that box Joy did is unbelievable! I just love it and the special touches on the inside make my heart sing. That sampler pillow is just scrumptious!!! Not sure how y’all sleep at night after opening up that box from The Attic! The projects in there were just spectacular. You have lots of fun things to look forward to and we look forward to watching your progress and so appreciate you sharing it all with us!!
What a swoon-worthy box of wonderfulness you received from The Attic!!! I just love the pillow and the We Are The Sampler Makers! H & H worthy!! I participated in Friendstitch, a virtual retreat on this past Saturday put on by Cecelia Turner of Heart In Hand and Elizabeth and Marsha from Bent Creek. It was my first ever cross stitch retreat and it was very well done and a lot of fun! I can see how fun it could be in person, tho, getting to meet and visit with all the other stitchers that were involved. At least I got the idea of what goes on at a retreat and it was very fun! Happy stitching the next two weeks! I am anxious to see what the Serial Starter starts!!! 🐝🌼🐿🍂🦔🍁🦉🍂🍁🐌🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
That is wonderful that you had a great time at your virtual retreat Cathy!!!!! It sounds like it was so much fun!!!!! I hope we can all be at a retreat someday! Hugs!
I was one of the fortunate ones who got to attend summer school this year. It was my first time, so I was just bowled over. Thank you so much for sharing the projects! Hope to meet you next year!
Those framed pieces are amazing Brenda! So glad you both got those Summer School boxes since you couldn’t attend this year, thanks for sharing it with us! - Stacey
Hi ladies thank you so much for your wonderful visit my goodness Brenda you make such amazing things and both of you most wow I love you both so much wow Angela in ireland 🇮🇪 🙃
OMG It was sooo good! You both shared so much and I know missing summer school was so hard. Thank you for the heartfelt show and tell. You both always inspire me . Wish I had more time but love being so tempted, Love you both! Stay safe!❤️
I noted a few “must haves” again today. That red box with all the littles is precious. The sampler is moving up the list. Thank you both for sharing the summer school kits, I would have cried, too!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 i have to ask if you have seen Hearts Ease Virginia A Cumberland Inspiration. A friend sent me a link to it. Its breathtaking. I live in Virginia and I can only dream of doing something like it.
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 the pattern is $70.00. I have a friend who know someone doing it. I can't imagine. I had ocular melanoma and I cant see small stuff too good so I do aida cloth. It would be huge.
Yes Ma'am that book is still available! OMG, The Attic Needle out did themselves!! Take a bow Ladies! I see quite a few samplers I need but darn it. I'll have to wait for them next year! Thanks Ladies for coming for another visit, totally enjoyed !!
Another great video by my two favs... it always makes my day when I see a video notification from you two pop up! I know it's bad but I have started quite a few of the samplers you've shown (I have Mary Cook started, Jane Stanwix, and just stitched some more on Merrily We Welcome Spring over the weekend!) I also have Elizabeth Hunter (another Scarlett House) almost done... I am a Scarlett House junkie! When Carol (saltbox stitcher) mentioned she has 25 wips I thought, hmmm, I bet I have at least that many going (me and Laura -serial starter - would be bff's for sure!) But I can't seem to put down my HATS Louisa Coulimore and finish the others I have going ... stitching a monochrome works for me this month. Hopefully this Fall I will have more finishes to put up on my wall. Have a great week you guys!
Thanks Theresa! Loved reading what you have been working on and that you have many WIPS and starts!! Yes, we would be kindred spirits for sure!!! I totally understand the red sampler being calming this month... I need to get back to my big one Mary 354 (not sure of the number). Happy Stitching!
Fabulous stuff - LOVED all the Attic goodies from the box - the repro sampler from Needlemade Designs is DIVINE ❤❤ Also I have Sally Stansfield kitted up and now I have to start it STAT!! Happy stitching for the rest of Sampler September you two xxxxx reecie
Thank you Reecie!!!!!!! As you know we are addicted to your videos and love every thing you stitch!!! Please come to summer school with Robin and Sue next year!!!! and bring Jean!!!!! Hugs!!!
Great show again and love seeing all your goodies!!! Brenda you should have gotten on the Zoom room!! It was really wonderful!! It was sooo good that we started a Facebook page and are going to continue to Zoom on Sunday’s!! Kim did an excellent job with the Soiree!!
That is so cool that you all are going to continue to Zoom.........what fun!!!!! (Laura here) It sounds like Kim really did a great job with the virtual retreat!!!
Thank you for showing the great items you received from The Attic. Sorry you couldn’t be there in person. I really think this year is making us all appreciate the little things in life so much more! Happy stitching 🧵
Thanks so much Diane!!!!!! You are right...we are really appreciating the little things in life!! Hope you have a good stitching week!

You are a very long way away from me here in Oxford, UK. But the joy shines through the miles and I’m grateful. Thank you for the joy! 🧵❤️🧵

You are forever know to me as Aunty Brenda and Aunty Laura and it’s a highlight every time a new episode appears in my feed. Stay safe XxOo
Oh thank you so much for your very kind words!! They just mean the world to us!!! I wish we could all live close to each other so that we could all spend time stitching together...but floss tube is a good substitute for now! Hugs!
What a wonderful box of stitching delight yo both received. Loved the show of these and the previous samplers. Happy stitching ladies.
Thanks so much Clare!!!
Great haul!!! So lucky you received the Summer school goodies!! Get busy and start everything!!!!😍
Thanks buddy!!!! I wish you would have got them too....but I am glad you have alternate plans to make up for it!!! Love you!
OMG, the Attic box was AMAZING!!!!! Loved this video and all the projects. Glad to hear about Sassy Jacks virtual Soirée, sounds like it was a good one. I am almost done with Sarah Spencer, filling in the border, she is a beautiful sampler. Hopefully in the next few days I will get her finished. Happy Stitching
Thank you Renee!!! I hope you are ready to put in the last stitches on Sarah Spencer if you have not finished already! Such a beauty! I am excited to start her!
Another fabulous Flosstube. You definitely have enabled many of us. Glad we have at least a year before the retreat charts are released. I need to stitch faster.
We all need to stitch faster!!!!! Too bad there are so many great charts that are calling to us!!!!
Thank you for another wonderful flosstube! I have to watch again and write notes about all the patterns I need to order! Ladies, you make my day! My prayers for a better work week. We will all get through this unique time with people like you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you Nancy!!!!!
Fabulous ladies! I have a whole page of notes of designs to look out for. Summer School must be such a wonderful experience - enjoy your new projects. Yummy!! xx
Thanks Rosie!!!!!
Absolutely addicted to watching you , love the marching orders part
Thanks so much Jillian!!!
You two are marvelous!!! Just love watching you. Thanks for doing Floss Tube.
Thank you so much Betty!
You gals are so fun to watch. Your excitement is contagious! What an incredible box of goodies you received for the cancelled retreat...wow! Fingers crossed you will be able to attend next year. Enjoy your week and stay safe!
Thanks so much Kay!!!!
i live vicariously through you two. loved your attic kits. would love to go there
Thank you!!! You should go there if you possibly can! It is like Disneyworld for stitchers!
"I got my box and took it up to bed with me"🤣🤣🤣. Amazing how much they give. Thank you for sharing 🌻🌻🌻
Thanks Cindy !! I know that sounded weird taking the box to bed...but I was tired and I had to look in there all at the same time!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 i thought that was funny. I was cracking up. I am sure it felt like Christmas opening the box!!
Thanks for sharing your Summer School stash with us. It must be a great event to attend! Happy stitching!
Thanks for watching Debbie!! Yes, Summer School is a truly great and epic event!!!
Thank you both for making my day so awesome!! You are TOP NOTCH ENABLERS!!
Thank you Marnie!!!!!!! Glad you found some good stuff!
Love you guys!! You are my favorite floss tubers by a landslide!!! I am converting my thread from ziplocks to drops so I can be like you. (There should be a comb for the floss on drops. Laura’s mom would approve)
There should be a special comb!!! We should commission Nicole to make one!!!! My Mom would love it, you are right! Thanks Susan!!!!!! p.s. you will love having your threads on drops!! It really is way more fun that way!
Spent an awesome hour stitching along with you wonderful ladies on my Sarah Spencer with the Hoop and Frame fabric and floss kit. Picked up L Genders yesterday at Stitch by Stitch in Cape May too. I totally need it!
That is great Jocelyn!!!!! I (Laura) need to start Sarah Spencer soon...I am in a real start mode lately. Glad you got L. Genders...she is so lovely!!!!! Enjoy!
Miss you when you don’t post. So sorry that you missed your retreat at the attic, but thank you sooo much for sharing your goodies. So many beautiful charts for us to look forward to stitching in the future when they are released next year. Love you both. ❤️❤️❤️

Wonderful visit from you precious ladies! What pretty things you have chosen for Sampler September and my goodness all the beauties from Summer School! A lot to look forward to next season. I can hardly wait for Tanya's sampler. She is fast becoming a favorite of mine. And Brenda, your 'thread winder' is a model of our hated Covid virus. I need to contact Cathy and see if I can buy one for my scrapbooking. Love you all to pieces. Y'all are the highlights in my month.
Thank you so much Darlene! Love reading your comments!!!! So did Cathy confirm that the thread winder is really a model of Covid?? Oh my goodness! Happy Stitching!
I forgot to call Cathy, need to do that tomorrow.
I always love your videos!! Thank you for sharing your stitching with us!
Thank you so much Vicki!
Once again you ladies just knocked it out of the park! I so look forward to every other Sunday and was just blown away with your beautiful finishes, fabulous haul and the summer school unveiling brought tears to my eyes! (You were not alone Brenda!). What else can I say? Bravo!!
Thank you so much for your very kind words Mary Ann!
How many times did I stop your video and go shopping???? Great seeing you both. You make me smile!!! And I cried when you got the Retreat Box-touching❤️
Thanks Patti!!! How many times did you go shopping???? and what did you buy??? Inquiring minds want to know!
Twice but have ongoing list with them. Ordered the Needlework 2021 calendar so that can’t travel alone !!! Lol! I have a ongoing list!!! Just hope they are ok with the horrific fire!! I foresee a road trip when everything calms down...I wonder when that will be??? See you in two weeks!!♥️
Already have the sticker book! I think that is going to be a gift for peeps on my Holiday Gift giving list!
I love you guys and look forward to your videos! Thank you for sharing your beautiful stitching projects! I have been enabled by some of your haul and headed out to make purchases, too! 😀

I want that Isabella Englis Sampler, so,adorable❤️ I love watching you guys open that box from the Attic, it’s like Christmas.
Thanks Debbie!
I am not really a sampler stitcher but your videos a must-see TV for me and I am inspired! I just purchased a Little Gem and I plan to start it as soon as possible. I have a large collection of magazines from the 80s and 90s that were passed on to me and I am finding quite a few samplers I love. I can’t wait for your next video.
That is so exciting Kim!!!!!!! Which Little Gem did you get? Let us know how it goes!!!! Happy Stitching!
Just love your video.. now I definitely have to begin saving up for a summer school trip ...awesomeness!!!!...happy stitching Cheers!
Start saving!!! It is worth every penny Susan!!!!
Hi Brenda and Laura-you know you’re old when...Stitchers talk about NPI silk thread. I got a glimpse of the label and kinda recognized it. So in my old age I googled NPI silk. Only to be reminded of how old I am. I started cross stitching about and year and a half ago/previously I was a needle pointer -purchasing threads and painted canvases (40 plus years )from...Needlepoint Inc...!!!! Omg!!! It’s like the circle of stitching life!!! Lol!!!😀
The circle of stitching life!!!!!!! Isn't it great!!!! Welcome back to stitching Patti!!! So happy you are here!
Once again you two have blown my socks off! Thank you for showing everyone the goodies from the Attic 🌷
Thank you so much Hanya!!!
A+ entertainment !!! Thanks for sharing
Well ladies what a delightful video as always...you made me cry though showing all the beautiful Summer School projects...I was going to be there too until covid struck...Im not normally a cry baby! I am a nurse and we are tough nuts usually but today I felt the loss...Im going to rewatch and make sure I buy all the projects that I should have received in person...might see you both next year? Susan Perth WA.
We will be there next year!!!!!!!! Make a list and then samplers from summer school should be released in about a year. I know nurses are tough...but no one can deal with the sadness of missing a stitching retreat! Especially summer school!!! Thanks Susan!
You make my Sunday memorable. Love all your projects and haul. Thanks fir sharing with us.
Thank you for watching and commenting!!! Hugs!
Thanks for the great video and all the inspiration! love all the projects!
Thank you Lisa!!!!
Love watching you both and that Summer school at the attic would be amazing. The boxes you got were fabulous. Your finishes were amazing too. In fact all your haul was great. Once again, I'm enabled!! I also love Michele - she stitches on super projects. Thank you for doing these videos - I look forward to them so much. Happy stitching.
Thanks so much Susan!!!

Brenda.....you enabled me for Wee Santa and the Robin sampler. :-) Laura....love your flower - don't rip it out!!! Love your videos and look forward to seeing what you two have in the works.
Thanks Bonnie!!!!! I will wait until I am done stitching that and see if the flower bugs me too much. But perhaps it will be a cool and quirky look! Glad you were enabled by Brenda!
You two are great, just love your tubes!!!
Thanks so much Judi!
I was so happy to see your new flosstube and Brenda showing the red box, I LOVE it. Then Laura says "that will cure what ails ya" I laughed out loud, funny and that red box is so so nice.
Thank you!!! Yes, that red box is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
Ladies, thank you for your videos. You were the bright spot in my craptastic week. ❤️
Thanks so much Linda!!! Let's hope this week is better for us all!!!
Great video girls!!! Brenda, that box Joy did is unbelievable! I just love it and the special touches on the inside make my heart sing. That sampler pillow is just scrumptious!!! Not sure how y’all sleep at night after opening up that box from The Attic! The projects in there were just spectacular. You have lots of fun things to look forward to and we look forward to watching your progress and so appreciate you sharing it all with us!!
Thank you so much Ginger!!!!!!!!!
Sweet bippy🤣 I loved watching the opening of the box, a stitchy Christmas for me to watch!
Thanks Naomi!!!!!! Thank you for sharing in our joy.
What a swoon-worthy box of wonderfulness you received from The Attic!!! I just love the pillow and the We Are The Sampler Makers! H & H worthy!! I participated in Friendstitch, a virtual retreat on this past Saturday put on by Cecelia Turner of Heart In Hand and Elizabeth and Marsha from Bent Creek. It was my first ever cross stitch retreat and it was very well done and a lot of fun! I can see how fun it could be in person, tho, getting to meet and visit with all the other stitchers that were involved. At least I got the idea of what goes on at a retreat and it was very fun! Happy stitching the next two weeks! I am anxious to see what the Serial Starter starts!!! 🐝🌼🐿🍂🦔🍁🦉🍂🍁🐌🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
That is wonderful that you had a great time at your virtual retreat Cathy!!!!! It sounds like it was so much fun!!!!! I hope we can all be at a retreat someday! Hugs!
I was one of the fortunate ones who got to attend summer school this year. It was my first time, so I was just bowled over. Thank you so much for sharing the projects! Hope to meet you next year!
So happy for you Melissa!!!! Everyone should be able to experience summer school!! It is magical!! Yes, next year for sure!!!
Love love the enthusiasm ❤️❤️
Thank you so much Kay!!!
A fabulous video, thank you so much.

Your red box was stunning and all of the summer school goodies were amazing! Just think about how great next year will be!
Thanks Shelly!!!!!
I noted a few “must haves” again today. That red box with all the littles is precious. The sampler is moving up the list. Thank you both for sharing the summer school kits, I would have cried, too!
Thanks Susan!! Someday we will all be at summer school together!!!
So adorable how proud Laura is that Brenda recognized Grandma Rose from her last name. Teehee!
Thanks Linda!!! Yes, it was so sweet!
You two! I look forward to every video. You make me want to go to Summer School! 😍
Barbara, you definitely need to go to summer school and/or any retreat that you can when we can all do so!!!! They are good for the soul!
what wonderful projects. I listen will I work and it's delightful. Robin
Thank you so much Robin!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 i have to ask if you have seen Hearts Ease Virginia A Cumberland Inspiration. A friend sent me a link to it. Its breathtaking. I live in Virginia and I can only dream of doing something like it.
guesswhosknitting yes!!!! It is a masterpiece!!!!!!!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 the pattern is $70.00. I have a friend who know someone doing it. I can't imagine. I had ocular melanoma and I cant see small stuff too good so I do aida cloth. It would be huge.
guesswhosknitting just keep doing what makes you happy!!!
Hi Brenda and Laura, such a pleasure to sit with you and enjoy all your progress and eye candy. Maybe some day we’ll run into each other at a retreat.
I sure hope we do Elizabeth!!! And as soon as possible!
Oh my I need a Joy box full of treasures😊❤️what a wonderful finish.
We all do Debbie!!! We need to clone Joy!!!
Yes Ma'am that book is still available! OMG, The Attic Needle out did themselves!! Take a bow Ladies! I see quite a few samplers I need but darn it. I'll have to wait for them next year! Thanks Ladies for coming for another visit, totally enjoyed !!
Thanks Laura! Glad that book is still available!!! In the meantime, until next year you can stitch some "warm up" samplers from those designers!
Another great video by my two favs... it always makes my day when I see a video notification from you two pop up! I know it's bad but I have started quite a few of the samplers you've shown (I have Mary Cook started, Jane Stanwix, and just stitched some more on Merrily We Welcome Spring over the weekend!) I also have Elizabeth Hunter (another Scarlett House) almost done... I am a Scarlett House junkie! When Carol (saltbox stitcher) mentioned she has 25 wips I thought, hmmm, I bet I have at least that many going (me and Laura -serial starter - would be bff's for sure!) But I can't seem to put down my HATS Louisa Coulimore and finish the others I have going ... stitching a monochrome works for me this month. Hopefully this Fall I will have more finishes to put up on my wall. Have a great week you guys!
Thanks Theresa! Loved reading what you have been working on and that you have many WIPS and starts!! Yes, we would be kindred spirits for sure!!! I totally understand the red sampler being calming this month... I need to get back to my big one Mary 354 (not sure of the number). Happy Stitching!
Fabulous stuff - LOVED all the Attic goodies from the box - the repro sampler from Needlemade Designs is DIVINE ❤❤ Also I have Sally Stansfield kitted up and now I have to start it STAT!! Happy stitching for the rest of Sampler September you two xxxxx reecie
Thank you Reecie!!!!!!! As you know we are addicted to your videos and love every thing you stitch!!! Please come to summer school with Robin and Sue next year!!!! and bring Jean!!!!! Hugs!!!
Oh my gosh YES!!!!! That would be so fabulous for all 4 of you to come:)))) Please!! (Brenda)
Loved today’s video, especially all your haul from Summer School!❤️❤️❤️ Have a great couple of weeks!
