So fun! 😂😂 I learned a lot: I will now call strawberry pincushions #stitchergrenades. And I too have an obsession with #weirdoadamandeves. I also learned about the following #serialstarterlaws that I think someone should chart in a sampler!! -everyone needs a hank of silk -buy all the blackbird books -stash gives you choices -you can’t go wrong with red -you need more than one project bag -find your stitching tribe -stalkers can become your friend 💜💜 #loveitbuyitstitchit Can’t wait for the next one ladies!!
Laura!! This is such a great comment!!! Thank you for taking the time to sum up all of our rules/laws!!!! We sure appreciate your attention to our lessons!!! Hope you have a great weekend!
Because of the two of you , l have come back to cross stitching ! Thank You , Thank You l am so happy to be back to something l love so much . The two of you are absolutely amazing ! Keep p the great work of bring more of us back to stitching . Thank You for sharing your wonderful needlework with all of us .
Going back and watching your previous flosstubes. Love them! The two of you and your relationship with each other is so genuine. How lucky am I that I found your flosstubes and always look forward to spending time with you ❤️
Yesterday I needed some positivity and I thought to myself, what can I watch to find some happiness? I watched your first Flosstube. Wow! Y'all have been way cool from the beginning. I only started stitching in Oct 2021 so watching old Flosstubes can be new to me. Thanks for being fun and bringing me some laughter, even it's from a few years ago. 😃
It was Sunday and I really needed to spend a little time listening to you both so I went all the way back to the one that started it all. Thank you! Now after a little stitching time I can handle the rest of the day - which includes driving to town in the blowing snow to pick up my daughter from work. Brrr. Hope you are both enjoying some stitchy time today, take care.
I have watched every one of your videos; when I first discovered your channel you had about 10 or so videos, and I immediately went back to the beginning to see everything you had done. Tonight RUclips suggested that I might want to watch this one again, and I said, "Yes, yes I would like to do that!" So fun - you folks have not changed at all. I had forgotten some of the laws, but now realize that I should be on the lookout for a hank of silk. Thanks for all of the videos, the inspiration and fun over the past few years!
I know this is three years old, but I’m waaaay behind on the whole FlossTube thing. Since I finally figured out what it’s all about and fell down the rabbit hole this week, I now have a million videos to watch. You two are so charming and funny. I’m totally #heppedup on you. Since one of The Laws is to start things, and today is the first day of March Madness, it seems appropriate to make it my own kind of MM. Especially since I don’t care for basketball much. (F1 fan all the way! 😄) I think I will start one project a day until MM is over (or until I declare my own personal MM is over.) Thanks for the entertaining enablement! Off to watch the rest!
OMG to go back to the beginning! Love it, Buy it, Stitch it!! Some points made that can always be reviewed. 1) buy it and have in stash because someday you will want it! 2) lots of project bags required. 3) go to retreats retreats retreats, or find someone to stitch with! ❤❤❤
I just watched this one for the first time and learned today is your fifth Flosstube anniversary! Happy Anniversary! Thank you for making us laugh and sharing your joy! Much love! 🎉💕
I am crying I am so overjoyed! I have long hoped both of you would decide to do Flosstube videos but the 2 of you together is more than I could have dreamed of!!! Love you both! Please, please do videos. Do them often. AND make them loooooong. I'll never get enough!!! That was E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G!!!!
Hi Brenda and Laura. I just came across your First Flosstube tonight! I have been watching you since March 2021 and enjoy my Sunday morning coffee watching you laugh and banter and that is still the same today as it was from day one ! Thanks for sharing ! 😁 Cheers Marilyn 👋 👩🏻🦰🇨🇦
I don’t even know where to begin! I begged Carol The Saltbox Stitcher to get you to do FlossTube Brenda and here you are! Prayer answered!!! I fan girl your Instagram Brenda and your stitching just leaves me speechless! We have never met but in my head I was like I bet she is the sweetest person. AND YOU ARE! OMG! You are exactly what I imagined! What a joy and a blessing you are to this community. Now Laura until this video I didn’t know of you but oh girl! You got moxie! I love you! You two are the perfect combination of sweet and sassy! That’s right Laura Brenda is the sweet one🤣🤣🤣🤣 You two are AWESOME! Please keep these videos coming! I love your message! So upbeat and positive!
Good morning girls. Going back to enjoy your videos all over again. 💪🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💋💋💋. You two are the talk around town. Your flosstube is phenomenal! 💕 💕 💕. I just had a thought as Brenda showed her progress of Mary Good. I sure wish I could see Mary Good in heaven at this very moment as she watches us mortals go Gaga over her sampler. I don’t imagine she thought much of her work besides the fact that she had done her best. I’d bet a million that she thought two or three generations beyond the grave that she would be long forgotten. I’m sure most of us regular people don’t think that suddenly 150+ years after we made something that it will resurface and start the mortals saying our name again with such reverence. Hard to believe. Keep the videos coming. Much love and hugs from 🇨🇦
Just discovered you two wonderful ladies this morning on Instagram! Thank you for all the wonderful tips. It's a cool damp day in southern Alabama so I will be binge watching your videos as I cross stitch today. Look forward to many more episodes from you both! Happy stitching!
What a wonderful video filled with all the good things - Accomplished Stitchers, very accomplished and top rung friends in the industry and within the hobby, the best finisher in the country that has unique and wonderful ideas, mountains of stash, collections by the dozen, rules to follow that makes the hobby fun and exciting and beautiful tastes. So very lucky how far and wide you have traveled to all the best venues, as well. My goodness, what is there not to like? Congratulations on a very successful stitching life and what an entertaining duo! WELCOME!
THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH VONNA!!! Your words of encouragement mean so much to us! We're having fun sharing our obsessions/passion with like-minded people.
Oh my stars!!! I’ve watched y’all for about 8 months now and today ran across your interview with Becca!! That was wonderful so I decided to binge watch y’all from the beginning since I can’t sleep! I love all the “rules”. Happy stitching! On to #2! Love and blessings, Vanessa
Oh ladies! I am hyperventilating! I must watch it again! Thank you for sharing your passion with us. Look at the threads on that wall! LOOK AT IT! Bless you both! Xx
Welcome to Flosstube!!! I'm not on Instagram much, but on those rare occasions that I am, I always think "I really with this Brenda Sampler Stitcher would do a flosstube!" Yay! Every once in awhile, a channel comes along that takes the Flosstube community by storm, and I am predicting yours will be one of them!!!
Thank you so much for your kind comments!!!!! We really appreciate them!!!! I (Laura) have been watching your videos since you were in Guam. Really love your stitching, framing and your daughters' work. One time I remember watching little one talk about her newfound love of stitching and it made me cry. It was so so sweet! Hugs!
I recently subscribed to your channel and after watching the 2 most recent videos decided to go back to the beginning and watch them all. I just finished the school term yesterday and will have more time to stitch and watch Flosstube over my summer break. Thank you for sharing your love of stitching and inspiring others. 🙋🏽♀️
Welcome, friends!!! ♥️💜 So very excited to see you both with your own channel!!! Brenda, your room on live video... swoon!!! Both of your Sampler charts are gorgeous!!! Absolutely love the previous finishes. Laura, you are SO RIGHT about the Blackbird books. I think everyone needs a hank!!! 😄 (Work is a four-letter word.) What a fun first video... I’m already anticipating the next “visit” with you!!! 💖 Donna Rae
Thank you so much for your lovely comments Donna Rae!!!!!! You know we both adore you!!! We are plotting our next video....should be soon(ish). Hope all is okay with you as I type this that darn hurricane may be in your next of the woods. Hugs!
You two are naturals!!!! Fabulous first video!!!! So much great information, gorgeous stitching and wonderful haul!!!! I am positive your channel will be in the top 10 of floss tube videos. I am following the law and I didn't even know it. I have Sampling and Memories on my floss rings too!!!! I love your motto and I look forward to your next video and I hope it will be soon. Happy stitching, Lynn
Thanks for leaving such a lovely comment Lynn!!! I am glad you are following the laws! Very important! See you Saturday at IN. Glad we can finally meet in Illinois!!!
Two of my absolute favorite Instagramers, now on Flosstube ... life is sweet! You two are naturals and it's like we were all sitting around the table chatting. See you next time!
A BFF and I just started stitching together at set days!!! So we are committed to day and time aand to each other, and our stitching! As my friend said, "I think I found our kindred spirits!" Looking forward tofollowing you both! Sorry I bleed Green!!!! ND and MSU!
I just found you lovely ladies and now I am binge watching all your flosstubes , you are so enjoyable to listen to (and I don't even cross stitch, but i might now try ) I keep sheep , spin and weave but I think I need a sampler or two in my life
When I saw you posted a video (I’ve thought to myself so many times, I wish Brenda and friends would make videos) best day ever!! But then to be mentioned, I’m so humbled! I love you girls! I can’t tell you how many charts I’ve bought because of you Brenda! You’re such an inspiration! Like Laura, I’ve never been drawn to Adam and Eve samplers and I never thought I could stitch on 40 count. Now I’m obsessed! I love Adam and Eve and all samplers and I just started my first 40 count project! And I can actually do it! Yay! Love your video, energy, and that wall of floss! Keep those awesome videos coming! ❤️
Thanks so much for your kind words Kristie!!!!!!!! I can't wait until Christmas comes closer so I can show that beautiful Christmas bag you made. We love your bags so much!!! I swoon whenever I see pictures of them on IG and it is hard not to buy each and every one of them!!! So glad you and I are both trying A&E samplers and 40 count. I remember when I thought I would never do either of those things!!!!! Hope you have a good weekend!
You guys are sew fun! I’m from Tasmania, Australia and just back into cross stitch after years of quilting. I love your banter and your samplers are stunning! And that thread wall Holy OMG!! 🤭🤣😂
😂😂😂You need stash!! I’ve been stitching samplers and other accoutrements since 1987! One cannot be a stitcher without stash! Can I be friends with both of you?! Lately I’ve been knitting, but listening to you vlog reminds me of attending EGA meetings, sharing, needing and wanting! Wonderful memories!
Nancy!!! I bet you have amazing stash of sampler charts since you have been working on them since 1987!!!! I think you should knit and stitch!!!! Let us know what happens!!!
I watched your #4 flosstube now I'm serial watching you. If I were to grow up I want to be you guys! Because of you I broke my rule of NOT buying more patterns, I was trying to stitch what I had in my stash. Hah I'm over that!
Love love your videos. So fun also and your laws. We didn’t know how much we needed those laws. I binge watch over and over never gets old. Thank you for you time work and effort to bring these videos to the world of flosstube
Well colour me happy! I could barely contain myself when I saw this was available. I had to watch it twice because I was following your motto of love it, buy it, stitch it. Thank you so much for doing this and I can’t wait until the next one. xxjenny
Jenny!!!!! Can you believe that Brenda and I did this!!?? We just jumped in feet first and it was really rather fun. Thanks for taking time to leave a comment. Hope all is well up there in Nova Scotia. Let's start the countdown clock for April and Dyeing to Stitch retreat!!! love you!
I have heard so much about you from other floss tube hosts I had to tune in today. Of course I had to start with the first episode. It was like stitching with old friends. I live in a rural small town with no needlework shop nearby. I don't know anyone who cross stitches. Discovering you was like forming a stitching group. Thank you!
I subscribed before I even watched the video!.....follow you on Instagram!....love your work.....just a wonderful first video.....I look forward to many more..... Congratulations ladies!....
Woo Hoo!! Two of my favorites in one place. Buy it, love it, stitch it ... with you two enablers, I will be buying a lot!! Can't wait for a closer look at your stitchy spot Brenda. I'm having thread envy here! Hope to see you in Amana in October.
Lori!!! Thanks for leaving such a lovely comment!!! I wish we were going to Iowa in October.....stupid jobs!!!!! I know you will have fun!!! Can't wait to see what the project is!
What a sweet comment Tess!!!!! We plan on an update real soon. In the meantime, I want you to sleep!!!! That is my second favorite thing after stitching. We want you well rested!!!
AWESOME FIRST VIDEO! I went back to the beginning to watch you. Floss envy here. I hope to meet you someday. Love all your rules. I wrote a few things down Hank being one of them, husband asked “who’s Hank”. 😂 😂 😂
Brenda, I have enjoyed following you on Instagram for a while, so it is great to see you start making videos. Laura, it is great to meet you. I love seeing everything that you shared. Thanks for such a great video!
Golden hair stitcher Susan We are so so so glad to hear from you!!!!! When we were at summer school there were several of us who missed you on IG and we all hoped you were doing well!!!! Maybe you could come back to IG. I know you would be welcomed back with open arms!!!!!!!! Sending you all love!!!! Laura
You two are a JOY! It's no wonder the ENTIRETY of Flosstube is freaking out! I loved watching you two. I need to write down your rules and LIVE BY THEM.
Well, that is so very nice of you Mitzi!!! Do tell, if you are not a stitcher yet, how did you find us? Are you thinking of starting to stitch? Hope so! It is the best! Hugs to you!!!
So so happy to see you both doing FlossTube !!!! You are both such an inspiration to so many stitchers and loved by all!! Laura I love your Esther Charlton and those DMC! 😍 Looking forward to more videos by you two!!
So now my jaws hurt from all the smiling I did watching you two! You both did great, and I felt like I was sitting with you getting all hepped up! Your passion is infectious...love it! Forget work and do another stat!
Great first video. Love “the rules”. I met you at the Dyeing to Stitch retreat. I did laugh out loud many times during your video. Look forward to many more. Great finishes. Can’t wait for your next video.
Greetings from Belgium! 😊 Just found your last episode on flosstube wich I sincerely enjoyed and going back to the start of your journey 🙂 Thank you for keeping me company during my stitching time 😍
This made my day!!! Excellent job! I’m so fascinated with all you both stitch and am going to look forward to more videos! Thank you for taking the time to share with us!
Ginger!! We are both fascinated by what you stitch too!!! You are one of our favorite people on IG!! Perhaps a floss tube is in your future???? Thanks for leaving such a nice comment!!
Hi Ladies! Welcome to Flosstube! What a wonderful first video! I am an instant subscriber! You taught me that I need a Samplings of Memories fob on my thread ring. I didn't know that was a thing. LOL! Again, welcome ladies. I look forward to video #2.
I follow you both on Instgram, so I was happy to see that you started a floss tube channel. I really enjoyed watching your first one. You are both so upbeat! I am not a reproduction sampler stitcher and I rarely stitch on a count higher than 32, but I enjoy watching Carol on Saltbox Stitcher so I know I will enjoy you both. I live just a few miles from The Attic Needlework and almost signed up for Summer School this year, but family commitments took priority. Perhaps someday I will meet you at a retreat. Thanks ladies!
Thanks so much for your kind words Nan!!!! We are going back to the attic in November for the BBD retreat! Maybe we will see you there? I know I (Laura) follow you on IG so that is good. 32 count is super fabulous and always will be!!!
As if you two have not already enabled me enough.....you go and up and do a FlossTube! I've written every single thing down and now I've extended my stash another 15 years. You two are so lovely to watch. Now that Pat is retiring she needs to do one, too! One of these days I want to hang out with your little group of friends. YAY! Excited to hear more recordings. (Oh and I am swooning at all those threads in the background) xoxoxo
Ohhhhh my gosh so happy to see you ladies starting a flosstube channel. Your first one was awesome and i can’t wait for more. Believe me I’ll keep coming back. Your both such an inspiration on your IG accounts and now to be able to watch you, listen and see you share. ......it’s going to be wonderful. Thanks for jumping into the pool. You’ll rock it
Back when I was stitching, I was watching knitting podcasts. Now I'm knitting and watching floss tube podcasts. Figures. lol! I love following you all on instagram, and am happy you have started a podcast!
Thanks Margaret!!!! I hope that someday you feel like stitching again...although your knitting is so beautiful that I wouldn't think it a bad thing if you just kept knitting only. Thanks for leaving a comment!
Great job ladies!! I enjoyed the video so much and thanks to Jen for mentioning you (and me, I was the other one she called out) Her shoutout brought me to you and I’m so happy it did. I absolutely, totally agree, with starting and stitching them all! Life is too short. Start the ones you want and keep on rotating and stitching! Can’t wait for the next video. Stacy (Nineoneonestitcher)
Hi Nancy!!!!! Can you believe we did that??? You just never know what a day will bring....it was kind of spur of the moment. Thanks for leaving a comment. Hope all is well with you!
Thanks so much you guys for all the stitchy encouragement, the enabling : ), and just the love of needlework you share! looking forward to your next video (tomorrow? lol. Can't wait!!!!) PS I just about fell over when I saw Mary Good... I just ordered that TODAY from Sassy's before I saw your video! how cool is that : )
Thanks for leaving such a nice comment Theresa!!!! Can't believe the timing on ordering Mary Good!!! That is so cool! After seeing Brenda's progress in person, I might have to place a phone call! We will be back ASAP!
Congratulations!!! Love you both & gorgeous gorgeous Samplers & projects. What a fantastic surprise to see you both! ps I’m Annette California Stitcher on instagram. Now I’m off to look up a few of the Samplers you shared! Lol!!!
Hi Annette!!!!! Fellow IG buddy!!!! Thanks for leaving a comment and I wonder what samplers you are looking up........let us know if you get any of them....
Girls I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoyed your first floss tube! It was so inspiring and the love for stitching was all the way through this! I write down what I must do and must buy! Gotta say I’ve used hanks for years and my only regret is not buying more when they were $11! No lie! Anyway you put a big smile on my face and made me proud to be a member of this universal sampler society, Keep making videos and I hope to see you both soon,❤️
Angel!!!! Thanks for your very kind words!!! I want some $11 hanks!!! Although paying $25 isn't really bad when you consider how much you get right? You always inspire us with your beautiful samplers!!! Maybe you and Donna Wynn should do a video???
YAY!!!! I can't get enough - go ahead and do an 8 hour video!!! I'll be bingeing over here 🙌. Seriously, ladies - THANK YOU for sharing your lovely work and even lovelier personalities. What a great debut! Can't wait for the next one ❤️❤️❤️.
Thank you for such kind comments!!!! We probably could do an 8 hour video - except I would need a nap in between a few of those hours! I get so over excited about stitching that I wear myself out!!! But your kind comment means that we could go over the 35 minute mark right? Thanks so much for taking time to watch and comment!
I follow a couple of amazing flosstube people and while watching Jen's Stitching Niche she recommended watching your premier flosstube show!! OMG, please keep posting your videos. You girls are so much fun and you have so much to share and you really are naturals! I love your "Rules" haha. Thank you for starting your show!!!
So fun! 😂😂 I learned a lot: I will now call strawberry pincushions #stitchergrenades. And I too have an obsession with #weirdoadamandeves. I also learned about the following #serialstarterlaws that I think someone should chart in a sampler!!
-everyone needs a hank of silk
-buy all the blackbird books
-stash gives you choices
-you can’t go wrong with red
-you need more than one project bag
-find your stitching tribe
-stalkers can become your friend
💜💜
#loveitbuyitstitchit
Can’t wait for the next one ladies!!
Laura!! This is such a great comment!!! Thank you for taking the time to sum up all of our rules/laws!!!! We sure appreciate your attention to our lessons!!! Hope you have a great weekend!
Brenda and the Serial Starter Oh you ladies are a hoot! I really did take notes as I giggled my way through your first flosstube.
Serial starter laws would be a fun chart
Hey, I decided to rewatch your videos today from a year ago. I’m really glad I did! There’s so much good information in here!😍
Flash forward 4 years... you guys are so much fun! Had to go back and watch your first flosstube. Loved it, love you! Stitch on ladies! GO BLUE!

Thanks so much Vickie!!!!! Those antique frames and vintage samplers are just the best right??
What a fabulous first video! Can't wait to see more ... and more of Brenda's stitching room!
Thank you for leaving a comment Marjorie. I will make sure that we show more of Brenda's room. It is like Disneyland for stitchers!
I love anything red too👏😁
I recently subscribed to your channel and after watching the 2 most recent videos decided to go back to the beginning and watch them all.

When I saw you posted a video (I’ve thought to myself so many times, I wish Brenda and friends would make videos) best day ever!! But then to be mentioned, I’m so humbled! I love you girls! I can’t tell you how many charts I’ve bought because of you Brenda! You’re such an inspiration! Like Laura, I’ve never been drawn to Adam and Eve samplers and I never thought I could stitch on 40 count. Now I’m obsessed! I love Adam and Eve and all samplers and I just started my first 40 count project! And I can actually do it! Yay! Love your video, energy, and that wall of floss! Keep those awesome videos coming! ❤️
Thanks so much for your kind words Kristie!!!!!!!! I can't wait until Christmas comes closer so I can show that beautiful Christmas bag you made. We love your bags so much!!! I swoon whenever I see pictures of them on IG and it is hard not to buy each and every one of them!!! So glad you and I are both trying A&E samplers and 40 count. I remember when I thought I would never do either of those things!!!!! Hope you have a good weekend!
You guys are sew fun! I’m from Tasmania, Australia and just back into cross stitch after years of quilting. I love your banter and your samplers are stunning! And that thread wall Holy OMG!! 🤭🤣😂
Ladies OMG! Awesome video ❤️❤️. Can’t wait for more.
Thanks so much Michele!!!
Totally awesome. Thank you Brian. Your finishes are to die for. So beautiful. Love your how laidback and humorous you both are. Thank you
Thanks for your sweet comment!
Love seeing you onscreen Brenda ... well done!!
Thanks for your kind comment!!! This is Laura, but I know Brenda really appreciated your comment!!!
😂😂😂You need stash!! I’ve been stitching samplers and other accoutrements since 1987! One cannot be a stitcher without stash! Can I be friends with both of you?! Lately I’ve been knitting, but listening to you vlog reminds me of attending EGA meetings, sharing, needing and wanting! Wonderful memories!
Nancy!!! I bet you have amazing stash of sampler charts since you have been working on them since 1987!!!! I think you should knit and stitch!!!! Let us know what happens!!!
So nice to meet y'all - loved your video - looking forward to many more!
Thanks so much Kay!!!
I watched your #4 flosstube now I'm serial watching you. If I were to grow up I want to be you guys! Because of you I broke my rule of NOT buying more patterns, I was trying to stitch what I had in my stash. Hah I'm over that!
You guys are naturals. 😊🌸
Thank you so much for such a nice comment!!
Love love your videos. So fun also and your laws. We didn’t know how much we needed those laws. I binge watch over and over never gets old. Thank you for you time work and effort to bring these videos to the world of flosstube
Well colour me happy! I could barely contain myself when I saw this was available. I had to watch it twice because I was following your motto of love it, buy it, stitch it. Thank you so much for doing this and I can’t wait until the next one. xxjenny
Jenny!!!!! Can you believe that Brenda and I did this!!?? We just jumped in feet first and it was really rather fun. Thanks for taking time to leave a comment. Hope all is well up there in Nova Scotia. Let's start the countdown clock for April and Dyeing to Stitch retreat!!! love you!
I have heard so much about you from other floss tube hosts I had to tune in today. Of course I had to start with the first episode. It was like stitching with old friends. I live in a rural small town with no needlework shop nearby. I don't know anyone who cross stitches. Discovering you was like forming a stitching group. Thank you!
Thank you salt box stitcher for sending me over. Loved it
Thank you Helen!!!
I subscribed before I even watched the video!.....follow you on Instagram!....love your work.....just a wonderful first video.....I look forward to many more..... Congratulations ladies!....
Thanks Becky!! You made a leap of faith that is for sure! It turns out that making the video was lots of fun! Another one soon....
Woo Hoo!! Two of my favorites in one place. Buy it, love it, stitch it ... with you two enablers, I will be buying a lot!! Can't wait for a closer look at your stitchy spot Brenda. I'm having thread envy here! Hope to see you in Amana in October.
Lori!!! Thanks for leaving such a lovely comment!!! I wish we were going to Iowa in October.....stupid jobs!!!!! I know you will have fun!!! Can't wait to see what the project is!
I’m not sleeping till your next podcast!!! 🤩
Loved Loved LOVED it!
Waiting with anticipation from 🇦🇺
What a sweet comment Tess!!!!! We plan on an update real soon. In the meantime, I want you to sleep!!!! That is my second favorite thing after stitching. We want you well rested!!!
A wonderful first video! So glad I found you ladies. 👏🏻💕👍🏻
AWESOME FIRST VIDEO! I went back to the beginning to watch you. Floss envy here. I hope to meet you someday. Love all your rules. I wrote a few things down Hank being one of them, husband asked “who’s Hank”. 😂 😂 😂
You two are a hoot!! Loved your video! Hurray back soon...
Thank you for your lovely comment Paula! We so appreciate it!!!
Brenda, I have enjoyed following you on Instagram for a while, so it is great to see you start making videos. Laura, it is great to meet you. I love seeing everything that you shared. Thanks for such a great video!
Thank you so much for your kind comment!!!! I know Brenda was following you and now I am too!!! Nice to meet you!
Brenda and Laura - I just found your videos, and I think you are an absolute delight. Can't wait to watch the rest of your videos!!

Maybe you could come back to IG. I know you would be welcomed back with open arms!!!!!!!! Sending you all love!!!! Laura
Thanks, Laura. Tell everyone I said hello.
Great flosstube ladies. Glad I saw your Instagram post that you started a flosstube channel. Keep it up you two are great.

You two are a JOY! It's no wonder the ENTIRETY of Flosstube is freaking out! I loved watching you two. I need to write down your rules and LIVE BY THEM.
Need another video, STAT! Seeing the two of you on Flosstube brought a huge smile to my face. Great job.
Alphabet Stitcher thank you so much for your kind comment!!! Smiling and stitching go hand in hand!!! Hope all is well with you Cathy!!!!!
Your floss tube has me bringing out my samplers.
I’m not a stitcher, yet, but your channel is my newest obsession!! Love, love, love!!
Well, that is so very nice of you Mitzi!!! Do tell, if you are not a stitcher yet, how did you find us? Are you thinking of starting to stitch? Hope so! It is the best! Hugs to you!!!

I have finally gone back to the beginning and am enjoying you two even more! I was missing this week's video so here I am in 2019!!! HA
Love it, enjoy it, watch it! My motto for your floss tube. Wonderful, my luck to find you two.
So now my jaws hurt from all the smiling I did watching you two! You both did great, and I felt like I was sitting with you getting all hepped up! Your passion is infectious...love it! Forget work and do another stat!
Tanya!!! Thanks for your lovely comment...we will have to do one at your house next summer!!!!! It will be a 3 hour video!!! Love you!
I can’t believe this is your first video! You both did a great job, you’re Flosstube naturals! I’m looking forward to seeing more from you fun ladies!
I just love you both and your videos so I'm binge watching all the videos I haven't seen starting with your first...I'm having a great time!!! TFS
Great first video. Love “the rules”. I met you at the Dyeing to Stitch retreat. I did laugh out loud many times during your video. Look forward to many more. Great finishes. Can’t wait for your next video.
Thanks for such a sweet comment Wendy!!! Did we meet this year or in a past year? I bet if I saw your face I would know you right away!
Greetings from Belgium! 😊 Just found your last episode on flosstube wich I sincerely enjoyed and going back to the start of your journey 🙂 Thank you for keeping me company during my stitching time 😍
OMGosh what a great floss tube this was….and Brenda your t-shirt was wonderful I was born and raised in San Francisco…wonderful city to grow up in…..
Love your videos. Both of you do beautiful work. Enjoy you both, keep up the good work. Thank you.
Really enjoyed your video and already looking forward to the next one!
Thanks so much Misty!!!!!! We hope to do another one relatively soon. It was way more fun that I thought it would be!
Not feeling well and decided to start watching your videos from the first one. Ladies I love you from day one.
This made my day!!! Excellent job! I’m so fascinated with all you both stitch and am going to look forward to more videos! Thank you for taking the time to share with us!
Ginger!! We are both fascinated by what you stitch too!!! You are one of our favorite people on IG!! Perhaps a floss tube is in your future???? Thanks for leaving such a nice comment!!
What a great start on floss tube !! Lovely projects and that antique frame is perfect . Nice set of rules
Linda m
I am SOOOOO excited!!!!!!! xx Michele
Michele!!! Thanks so much for leaving a comment! We love your videos and all of the samplers you stitch!!! Hope you can do a video again soon!!!
So happy to have found you two!!! I look forward to the rest of your videos. Thank you!
Hi Ladies! Welcome to Flosstube! What a wonderful first video! I am an instant subscriber! You taught me that I need a Samplings of Memories fob on my thread ring. I didn't know that was a thing. LOL! Again, welcome ladies. I look forward to video #2.
Thanks so much Laurie!!! We both love your videos!!!!!! Also thanks for the floss drop tutorial...I love making them.
I just heard about you two! Awesome video. Love all the things! Can't wait to see more.
Thanks so much for leaving such a nice comment Sue!
I follow you both on Instgram, so I was happy to see that you started a floss tube channel. I really enjoyed watching your first one. You are both so upbeat! I am not a reproduction sampler stitcher and I rarely stitch on a count higher than 32, but I enjoy watching Carol on Saltbox Stitcher so I know I will enjoy you both. I live just a few miles from The Attic Needlework and almost signed up for Summer School this year, but family commitments took priority. Perhaps someday I will meet you at a retreat. Thanks ladies!
Thanks so much for your kind words Nan!!!! We are going back to the attic in November for the BBD retreat! Maybe we will see you there? I know I (Laura) follow you on IG so that is good. 32 count is super fabulous and always will be!!!
Fun to come back and watch 1st one! See what I have been missing!
You two are a great pair!! I'm new to Flosstube and I'm wondering how can I catch up!?
I'll be back ❣️🧵
So glad to see you in RUclips. Loved the first video. I know you will inspire me.
Thanks so much Edna!!!
As if you two have not already enabled me enough.....you go and up and do a FlossTube! I've written every single thing down and now I've extended my stash another 15 years. You two are so lovely to watch. Now that Pat is retiring she needs to do one, too! One of these days I want to hang out with your little group of friends. YAY! Excited to hear more recordings. (Oh and I am swooning at all those threads in the background) xoxoxo
Thanks so much for your comment! I hope that you can come up here and stitch with our little group sometime!!!
Ohhhhh my gosh so happy to see you ladies starting a flosstube channel. Your first one was awesome and i can’t wait for more. Believe me I’ll keep coming back. Your both such an inspiration on your IG accounts and now to be able to watch you, listen and see you share. ......it’s going to be wonderful. Thanks for jumping into the pool. You’ll rock it
Thank you for such an uplifting and inspiring comment Karen!!!! You are very sweet to say such lovely things!! Much appreciated!!!
Back when I was stitching, I was watching knitting podcasts. Now I'm knitting and watching floss tube podcasts. Figures. lol! I love following you all on instagram, and am happy you have started a podcast!
Thanks Margaret!!!! I hope that someday you feel like stitching again...although your knitting is so beautiful that I wouldn't think it a bad thing if you just kept knitting only. Thanks for leaving a comment!
Great job ladies!! I enjoyed the video so much and thanks to Jen for mentioning you (and me, I was the other one she called out) Her shoutout brought me to you and I’m so happy it did. I absolutely, totally agree, with starting and stitching them all! Life is too short. Start the ones you want and keep on rotating and stitching! Can’t wait for the next video. Stacy (Nineoneonestitcher)
You gals are gonna do great! Now I just need a t-shirt that says “Love it, buy it, stitch it!”
I'd love to do a sampler!
Great job girls!
Thanks so much Pat!!!
Enjoyed episode 48 so much I’m starting at the beginning and binge watching you two. What a delight.
Love, love. love your first video! What beautiful stitching you do and I’m thrilled that you’re sharing with us! Blessings. Marlene
Thank you so much Marlene!!!!! We sure appreciate your kind and loving comment!!!!
Absolutely delightful!
Y’all are too cute! Just found your channel and will be watching every episode. Thanks for being so fun!
Really enjoyed your floss tube, I can’t wait for the next one.
Hi Nancy!!!!! Can you believe we did that??? You just never know what a day will bring....it was kind of spur of the moment. Thanks for leaving a comment. Hope all is well with you!
Thanks so much you guys for all the stitchy encouragement, the enabling : ), and just the love of needlework you share! looking forward to your next video (tomorrow? lol. Can't wait!!!!) PS I just about fell over when I saw Mary Good... I just ordered that TODAY from Sassy's before I saw your video! how cool is that : )
Thanks for leaving such a nice comment Theresa!!!! Can't believe the timing on ordering Mary Good!!! That is so cool! After seeing Brenda's progress in person, I might have to place a phone call! We will be back ASAP!
Congratulations!!! Love you both & gorgeous gorgeous Samplers & projects. What a fantastic surprise to see you both! ps I’m Annette California Stitcher on instagram. Now I’m off to look up a few of the Samplers you shared! Lol!!!
Hi Annette!!!!! Fellow IG buddy!!!! Thanks for leaving a comment and I wonder what samplers you are looking up........let us know if you get any of them....
Excellent first video ladies! I've been binge watching out of order, lol.
Girls I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoyed your first floss tube! It was so inspiring and the love for stitching was all the way through this! I write down what I must do and must buy! Gotta say I’ve used hanks for years and my only regret is not buying more when they were $11! No lie!
Anyway you put a big smile on my face and made me proud to be a member of this universal sampler society, Keep making videos and I hope to see you both soon,❤️
Angel!!!! Thanks for your very kind words!!! I want some $11 hanks!!! Although paying $25 isn't really bad when you consider how much you get right? You always inspire us with your beautiful samplers!!! Maybe you and Donna Wynn should do a video???
YAY!!!! I can't get enough - go ahead and do an 8 hour video!!! I'll be bingeing over here 🙌. Seriously, ladies - THANK YOU for sharing your lovely work and even lovelier personalities. What a great debut! Can't wait for the next one ❤️❤️❤️.
Thank you for such kind comments!!!! We probably could do an 8 hour video - except I would need a nap in between a few of those hours! I get so over excited about stitching that I wear myself out!!! But your kind comment means that we could go over the 35 minute mark right? Thanks so much for taking time to watch and comment!
Great first flosstube! Thank you for sharing your wonderful work!!
Thank you so much for leaving a comment! We sure appreciate your kind words!
I follow a couple of amazing flosstube people and while watching Jen's Stitching Niche she recommended watching your premier flosstube show!! OMG, please keep posting your videos. You girls are so much fun and you have so much to share and you really are naturals! I love your "Rules" haha. Thank you for starting your show!!!
You ladies are naturals. Great job! Just subscribed and look forward to your next one.
Thanks so much Linda!!!!! It really was fun to do and we will do another one soon(ish)!
