The thing I want to emphasize in my comment today is how much I appreciate all the time and preparation you go through to bring your videos to us. I don’t do videos but I can clearly see the commitment and work involved. Your videos are ALWAYS given my undivided attention. Thank you ladies and that comes from the bottom of my heart, it truly truly does. 😊🥰😊🥰
oh my goodness...thank you so much for your kind comments!!!! Just remember we have as much fun doing them as anyone might have watching them so it is a win win situation!!! Hugs and happy stitching to you!
Yay! Tab is back....life is almost normal now. The Tim Holz stickers look so fun. I watched this video twice....once to just fully enjoy and go “ahhhh” and “ohhhh”....then I watched it again, pausing multiple times to write down patterns. You guys have a great couple of weeks. Blessings and take care.
Love the two of you!!! You have saved my sanity. I returned to X stitch after 20 years,my things have changed!! You helped understand what I have missed. Thanks Kathy with a K.
As always..so enjoyed the visit and the stitching...halloween basket..what a treasure trove..the noel sampler is terriffic too...enjoy the stitching Cheers!
Two little words can make a BIG difference. “Thank You” means a lot! But so does “Plain, Old” DMC. Yet DMC is still very beautiful. Thank you for the video ladies!🙂 Love seeing your projects.
Hi Barb and Laura! Another great video! So much eye candy!!! Laura’s Halloween finishes are fantastic! Great job! Thanks for so many great recommendations - I already checked out most of the shops you mentioned and their awesome! I don’t think I’d ever heard of Brenda Keyes and The Sampler Company, but wowzer, I’ll be oogling all of her charts for a while. You both mentioned the fall colors - well I feel the same way about them! A beautiful tree can just stop me in my tracks. If you ever questioned God’s existence, the fall colors are proof positive he created the earth! 🍂🍁 have a fantastic couple of weeks ladies!
I am not a primitive or sampler stitcher, but I just adore your videos. The genuine friendship between you two is so fun to watch. I’m working on the Zimmerman coverlet. I’m glad Laura has her tab again
Hi Colleen!!! Thank you for your lovely and kind comment! Thank you for reaching out to me on IG! I am now watching your great videos and love your needle minders!!!! Hugs!!!
I am trying to ONLY stitch while I watch your videos..... but darn it I failed again today - I’m filling my Etsy cart right up AGAIN! 😳😮😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Thanks for the video - I just love you two - like sitting with friends!😊💖💖
You both are so fun and inspiring. Love the Halloween cat you finished Laura. Your basket of Halloween charts will keep you busy for a long time, at least you have options!
So very happy I found you ladies.... I am loving all of your inspiring fun things..I have no friends that I can stitch with so you both are now my stitching buddies..lol..lol.. Keep up the fun times.. Mary from up the street from Sacramento Ca.
Another wonderful video! I loved seeing all of your stitching and the Halloween basket full of goodies waiting to be stitched. Halloween designs are so cute and fun to stitch. You girls are so funny and entertaining. I enjoyed spending time with you. Hugs! Pam Miller
Sally The Humble Bubble Stitcher is theeeeee sweetest! Beautiful generous soul :) you both made me pause you, go to Hands Across The Sea, download Tis The Season, then walk quickly in the rain, down the stairs to quilting to studio to retrieve said chart from the printer, grab a plastic container to place said chart in and huff back up the stairs to the cottage....soooo worth being breathless ;)
AWWWWW! I love that story about being compelled out of your chair to go to all that trouble to get a chart right that minute!!!! Yes!!!!! We are kindred spirits!
Well...that was a record. I had to stop the recording SIX times in the first seven minutes to go looking for things. This is going to take all night to watch.
My absolute favorite sayings are seriously, deal with that , where’s the ink , I went ape , buy all the blackbird and because I’m a nurse a hernia and a heart attack crack me up every time . I always have 123 stitch and Traditional stitches open ready to order. Love watching you both it’s the highlight of my day
Oh my goodness!!!! Your comment is the best!! I have always said that nurses have the best sense of humor! Thank you Jillian!!!!!! I wish we could stitch together today!
So enjoyed watching you two. So many beautiful things. Love Laura showing us "What's in the basket" too. Hope you both have a great two weeks and I am looking forward to seeing you again. Happy stitching!!!
Great video. I saw the hint about the silicon magnets. The package that I purchased was a little long so I tied a knot to shorten the silicon string. It works great. I love it.
Hi Ladies! I just visited the Hobby House Needlework shop a couple of weeks ago. It's near Rochester NY. The shop Is beautiful and everyone was so helpful!!
At least 10 times I have put FEAST OF FRIENDSHIP in my cart and took it out! Going to 123 stitch and GET IT!! Enjoyed my time with you ladies once again! I am getting ready to watch the Contented Stitcher next!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2020!!
Thank you so much Karen!!!!! I think you will really love Feast of Friendship. I have stuck with it for an unprecedented 7 days in a row!!!!! Shocking!!!! Happy Stitching to you too!!!!
Laura, you've got a lot of finishes...woo hoo! I am sorry about your beloved TAB! Regular (not diet) Coca-Cola is my favorite thing in life so I get it! Brenda, your Feast of Friendship is looking beautiful, I love how the house has those varied shades of blue. Thanks for a great video and sharing all you do! -Stacey
You two make Sunday so much fun! So many beautiful pieces, my list is growing of samplers I want to stitch. I printed the newest Hands Across the Sea Sampler last week and thought about getting the Christmas girls...now I think I have to go back and get them! Laura glad you found your Tab! I couldn’t imagine going that long without my Coke. When I’m at my desk or doing stitching I sit my can inside a coffee mug to keep safe from knocking it over on my work. Have a wonderful week ladies😊. Anne
Thanks Anne!!! That is a great idea about putting your can in a coffee mug! I shall have to try that at Brenda's house so I don't knock anything over. Glad you are going to get the Christmas girls!!!! I feel a start coming on them.......
Sunday a its best !!! Happy to see you found your Tab Laura and what cute PS finishes . Such fun looking stitching in your basket and love a good parade . Brenda that tree is just perfect and adorable for your stockings. Your frames just enhance your wonderful stitches. Wishing you both much printing and stitching.
I loved that ‘citrusy aroma’ when first popped !!! Miss Tab, but since I can’t have caffeine nor aspartame any longer, I will imagine the scent in my mind. Enjoy
Hi Laura &Brenda. So many beautiful projects and lots of inspiration from you girls. Another enjoyable fun time I had watching and sticking along with you. Have a great week. Love xx
I love you guys!! I never eat tired of your videos, and I so appreciate the effort you put into your videos. So many giggles and laughs! I also can’t wait for the times when we can see each other again at retreats.
Oh my goodness! How super sweet and generous of you to mention me☺️☺️☺️ I’m loving your Noel sampler and all the fun fall stitching. You two always make our wish lists grow!
Gosh, your Noel Sampler is just gorgeous Brenda! Can’t wait to see it framed. Enjoyed all of Laura’s fall starts and parade of charts too. It is always so nice to spend a Sunday afternoon with you both! Thank you for sharing your stitching.❤️
I love you guys so much......you guys were part of the reason I started my own Flosstube, I am a Laura, I start all the things, but finish very few, LOL.
Oh boy you had me scribbling away! Definitely going to be stitching the hands across the sea Christmas ornaments 😍and heading to my computer to order Ann Flatt STAT❤️❤️❤️ love you ladies. Thank you for posting all the happiness. Happy stitching!
Oh my! I made another page of notes of things to go and check up on! Hoorah! Brenda Gervais' tubby witches - I must stitch one! Love your videos soooo much xx
Wow you two, another awesome video to watch again and take notes on your patterns and information...appreciate you both taking time to made these videos...best wishes and happy stitching ❤️❤️
What a spectacular video and I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you both are such huge enablers!! I wish you both a fantastic week. Happy stitching!
So many beautiful things! I love the Noel sampler that is on my wish list. I also have when witches go riding I should stitch that! Thank you once again for a lovely visit ❤️❤️❤️
Love you guys. Look forward to every visit. I had to start a feast also. Pull a thread out cut along that line when cutting linen. Thanks for visiting!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 you pull the thread where you want to cut. Gives you a smooth straight line. I learned this from Ginnie Thompson years ago.
Oh my goodness!!! Stitch bliss!!! Love you guys... hey Laura the basket full of Halloween goodies let me take that off your hands for ya 😂 LOL ... really seriously could u have any more things I want 😍 .... list is growing every episode!!!! Can’t wait to see that finish Brenda !!! I have. Even a monogamous stitcher lately and I’m so slow all the Halloween is passing by so fast :( I need 48 hr days....
Yes please to 48 hour days....but with no working outside the home!!!!!! Just stitching!!!!! Imagine the finishes we could have!!!! Thanks so much Sheila!!!
I love those magnetic ties, such a great idea. I had to pause your video, (which I never do) and order some. Love all the Halloween and sampler stitching. Can’t wait to see the Noel sampler finished!!
What a beautiful and special gift from Sally at The Humble Bumble Stitcher! I love your PS cat Laura and your witch from BOAF. I have had that kitted for a long time and should do something about it!! Brenda, I am in love with your Noel sampler. The colours just pop on that fabric. What a fun time going through your basket Laura and what a cool Halloween tree Brenda! Thanks as always. I loved your interview on Sam-Brie's channel! Stay safe and happy stitching.
I am so jealous, -being from Illinois (now in Bakersfield CA) I so miss the fall colors, my favorite time of year. With my Dad going to be 90 this coming year and the Covid problem I won't be going home this year, Enjoy the fall-thx for all your sharing!
I am so sorry you cannot make a trip out to Illinois this year Debra!!!! If it is any consolation...I really miss being in California too......(I was there for college and other visits through the years). You live in a beautiful state!
I so enjoy you two. It’s like your sitting across the table from me at my lns showing me what you bought! It’s because of you two and Carol that I’m going to start my first reproduction sampler January 1st. In fact, I have several kitted up and ready to go. Blackbird is my favorite and that’s as close as I’ve gotten until seeing your videos.
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 I have Sarah Barker and the LW Sampler both kitted and ready to go. Most likely it will the the latter! I’ve also gotten several of the Little Gems to stitch as well.
Yay for Tab!! So enjoyed seeing all that basket of Halloween. Brenda, the Noel sampler is one of my favorites and so excited to see your finish!! Enjoy your Sunday ladies!! ☺️ I stitched Halloween while watching! 🎃
Hi dear.....guess what...this morning they just announced they are discontinuing Tab forever. You can imagine that I am very sad right now. Ugh! This year sucks!!!!!! On the other hand, thank goodness for friends and stitching!! Hugs!
So I had a H and H week, LOL WooooHooo!!!!!!!! Got to watch Brenda and Laura twice this week!!!! Oh Glory Days!!!!! Hey I really enjoyed the Q&A Section.
I am nervious about cutting fabric myself, but someone taught me to pull a thread from the linen to make a straight line......it works great. Measure three times both ways.All your things are just amazing and I am waiting eagerly for all your Christmas inspirations!!
Thanks Suzy!!! I have seen people pulling a thread but it looks very scary to me (Laura)!!! I will ask Brenda about it. She probably knows how to do it!
Girls, girls. It took me 2 days to watch your entire video! Why? Because I kept pausing and shopping. SQUIRRELS! Do you realize how much you influence us? Fun fun! Have a great week ❤️
You both get me started on looking for new charts, and here I am trying to finish something!! But I have such a fun time. So glad to see what you are working on.
I just discovered you guys and am going to start from the beginning and watch. I'm a sampler lover and stitcher too. Lots of inspiration here from your beautiful projects. Thanks!
Good video! Enjoyed your Halloween patterns. It made me go get Prairie Schooler When Witches go riding and work on it. I dont know when I started it. My favorite R&R fabric is winter brew.
Hi guys! 👍👍👍💜💜🙂🙂Raspberry tea! Lol oh my where do you get the book ! Brenda is now sticker queen! Lol oh kittys cute. Now need to stop and watch lol. Audrey stitchy witch 42 is using those magnets to hold her. Stoney creek afghan while she stitches. Oh guys everything is awesome yet again. Enjoyed my tea, almost finished raven while we visited. Oh yea coffee dunk it! Okay just went looking for deborahcranberrysampling! Yay another to follow.. Laura another night till midnight! Lol 😉
Brenda and Laura always a joy, the amount of stash you guys have is amazing. Laura glad to see some finishes from you, beautiful pieces indeed. Thank you for entertaining me to the fullest.
Well girls. Another fun video. Laura you have been a professional this past two weeks. So much fun stitching. And Brenda. Your noel sampler is looking wonderful. I wish I had picked cedar plank. Perfect choice!! I look forward to seeing you both again soon. Happy stitching!!
I just totally enjoyed watching and seeing what the two of you have done. Laura, you are on a roll with Halloween finishes, don't stop. Brenda, I would love to roam around your house, I bet you have the neatest things sitting around. Have a great 2 weeks of stitching. I'll be waiting to see what's next. Robin C.
Thank you Robin!!! And you are correct, Brenda has so many interesting and beautiful things all over her house! Every time I go I see something else that is just so lovely!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 Laura, I talked to Ann on the phone today at Dyeing to Stitch. When I mentioned you and Brenda she just laughed. Of course I ordered something.
Oh so fun seeing your darling finishes Laura, your broom riding witch has quite the entourage of black kitties!! Brenda your Noel Sampler is scrumptious on Cedar Plank! I’ll be stitching more on mine after I finish Viola Martini, I can hardly stand waiting since seeing yours though! Happy Fall to you .... love all the Fall charts Laura, aren’t we blessed with amazing designers! Tabs Back..... pop a top again!
Thanks Carrie!!!!!! I need to get back to Viola Martini!!! Maybe tonight! You might have inspired me, but I am having a hard time putting down Feast of Friendship. Yes, Brenda's Noel sampler looks PERFECT on that Cedar Plank. We all need to get some!!!
Great video! The Tab is back!! I also bought the silicone ties!! They work great and they're adorable and will catch your needle when you drop it too!! 😊❤
Oh my goodness...you ladies are the best source of stitching treasures! AKA: Enablers! I paused your video to go to Hands Across The Sea and acquired Tis the Season. I love it!! Your videos are such a treat and very uplifting during these crazy times! Thank you for all your efforts creating your videos...I appreciate your time.
I had such fun stitching and watching you two, this morning! As always, love everything you do! I have stitched a few samplers with two houses:Mary Gibson, Marianne Wenn, Sovine Palphryman, and Her Sampler by Carriage House Samplings. I'm sure there are lots of others but those are some I've stitched. Laura might like Sovine because there's a big girl!
Thanks so much Terri!!!! Great list of two house samplers!!!! I am on the hunt for Sovine!!! She is beautiful!!!!! Hope you have a good week of stitching!!!
I live in the midwest also, Southeast WI, and I agree that we are seeing some really pretty colors this fall. Thanks for your videos, love to see what you are working on and collecting.
A light source close to your fabric is another way to magnify the holes. I clip a Mighty Bright on the top bar of my Qsnap. Very light weight especially when batteries are removed. 2 brightness settings, adapter sold separately on Amazon.
Laura... girl .... I could not believe you had so many finishes! You go girl! Loved seeing all of your fall pieces...I really do love seeing all of the PS pieces...just classic! Brenda, I am looking forward to seeing your Noel sampler finished... it’s such a lovely piece. You ladies have a great week...
I had so much fun seeing your Halloween charts. I am working on a piece called Witchy Washy. It comes with a clothes line, and all of her clothing hanging. Buttons too. Look it up.
Thank you ladies, yes we did have a fabulous Thanksgiving. We celebrated outside on the lawn in the backyard. It was a sunny fall day and we were able to keep our distance. I had made the turkey dinner with an apple crisp for dessert. Plain and. simple and those that could be there were there and all was good.
I love me a good longaberger basket - that is beautiful. My mom is downsizing into an apartment and I was her lucky recipient of 8 or so! I was all HEPPED up for sure when I got that box! I just finished that Hello Fall by Plum Street - you can start and finish in a week, it's super fast.
Girls you are the bomb! You bring such joy to us all. Enjoyed your sharings and all your excitement. I’m gonna need a bigger boat soon. How will I ever downsize?????
Brought to you by Tab! Water for me tonight. Love all the calendars and stinkers! So much fun!! Your friendship is the best! Love this listening to y’all!! Love all the projects and charts. All the great inspiration!! I’m a monogamous stitcher, have been for years, but now I have three projects going..... what’s happening to me?! Love the cat finishes!! They’ll be great as little pillows. Thanks for the video! xxxx
Thanks for watching LIsa!!!!! Thanks for you lovely comments!!! Uh oh....three projects going...you are on a slippery slope to a Laura lifestyle!!! Hugs!
Oh my! Would love to see the beautiful trees! In California, only the dropping of the palm fronds is happening and that’s because of the wind. Lovely visit ladies! ❤️👋
Hi Ladies! Great video. Loved seeing all the Halloween patterns Laura showed. Deb at Country Stitches stitched an Autumn Quaker sampler, not sure if it’s the same one someone is looking for, but she might contact Deb and ask her about it. It was absolutely beautiful and I want to stitch it, too. But that’s all I know about that. Have a great two weeks stitching and happy fall!! 🍂🦉🍁🦔🍂🐿🍁🐌🤎🤎🧡🧡💛💛🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Autumn Quaker Forest us by Wiehenburg Designs. They have Spring and Autumn done and are doing a SAL for Winter. I guess Summer will be next year - eagerly awaiting. Here is a link to their page: www.wiehenburg.eu/en-gb/
ENABLERS, Inc., I'm going to call you two!!! I kept stopping and starting and couldn't write fast enough...Wish i could remember shorthand...lol... Love you two so much...thank you for sharing...
Yeash! You to totally got me today! I ordered three patterns and I'm only half way through your video! FOMO got me with the Feast of Friendship, so I'm going to have to stitch it as well.:) I'm going to have to finish your video tomorrow so I don't spend anymore today! Yes, I was very inspired!:)
Oh that is so exciting!! Glad you are joining in on Feast of Friendship!!!! I have been addicted to it since my restart and I hope Brenda is going to start soon!!! She is closing in on a finish on the Noel Sampler. So happy you found "a few" things you liked!!!
Another fabulous video; I truly look forward to Sunday when the two of you do your video. Oh happy day!! Laura has her Tab back and I am so happy!! I had to go to Modern Folk Embroidery and purchase the coverlet pattern; I will also be going to HATS to get the little Christmas girls too. If you have not looked at Kitten Stitcher, she has posted a new reproduction sampler that looks really good too; it has a wonderful house in it. You may want to check it out. I loved seeing what the two of you are stitching and planning to stitch. Hugs and happy stitching................
Thanks so much Pam!!!!! Yes, must get that new sampler from Kitten Stitcher! Love it! Glad you got the stuff from MFE and HATS!!! Hugs right back to you!!!
So enjoy visiting with you ladies every other Sunday. I recently moved back to central IL and the weather has been fabulous! Noel Sampler is on my radar for this holiday season. Thanks for another wonderful video!
The thing I want to emphasize in my comment today is how much I appreciate all the time and preparation you go through to bring your videos to us. I don’t do videos but I can clearly see the commitment and work involved. Your videos are ALWAYS given my undivided attention.

Thanks so much Kristin!!!!!! You had a double dose today! Yikes!

I love the two of you...I watch every day! Brenda I pray for you every night! I just ordered my first project bag thanks to you ladies!
As always..so enjoyed the visit and the stitching...halloween basket..what a treasure trove..the noel sampler is terriffic too...enjoy the stitching Cheers!
Thank you very much Susan!!!!!
Two little words can make a BIG difference. “Thank You” means a lot! But so does “Plain, Old” DMC. Yet DMC is still very beautiful. Thank you for the video ladies!🙂 Love seeing your projects.
I love DMC with their wide range of colors! and it's relatively easy to find:)))
You guys are such a joy to visit with! Love all your stitching. And boy are you right about fall colors , one of the best years in a long time!
Thanks so much Kathleen!!!!

Let's see what's in Laura's basket - I think there is enough to last a lifetime. They are all so pretty. Love you ladies 🌻🌻
I know! I could just stitch out of that one basket for the rest of time....but does that stop me??? Nope! Out of control to the end! Thanks Cindy!!
Laura, you've got a lot of finishes...woo hoo! I am sorry about your beloved TAB! Regular (not diet) Coca-Cola is my favorite thing in life so I get it!

🤗 “Holy crap, Brenda showed the chart!!” 😂😂😂
Between that and the cuckoo clock, I about split!!!
Take care ladies.
We were living on the edge Carlene!! We are now fugitives!!!!!!
There are some things in life we just can’t live without. I’m glad you have your TAB back!!
Thank you!!!!! I just ran out again so I am sending my husband to all the stores to find some more!!!!
I loved that ‘citrusy aroma’ when first popped !!! Miss Tab, but since I can’t have caffeine nor aspartame any longer, I will imagine the scent in my mind. Enjoy

So many beautiful things! I love the Noel sampler that is on my wish list. I also have when witches go riding I should stitch that! Thank you once again for a lovely visit ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Christina! Yes, pull out the PS Witches Go Riding!!
I just might😊
Love you guys. Look forward to every visit. I had to start a feast also. Pull a thread out cut along that line when cutting linen. Thanks for visiting!!!
Thanks Patti!!!!! Pulling a thread seems very daunting, but I shall pay attention the next time I see someone doing it! Happy Stitching!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 you pull the thread where you want to cut. Gives you a smooth straight line. I learned this from Ginnie Thompson years ago.
I always enjoy your visits. Love that basket Laura. Some lovely stitching time ladies. Happy stitching.
Thank you Clare!!!
Oh my goodness!!! Stitch bliss!!! Love you guys... hey Laura the basket full of Halloween goodies let me take that off your hands for ya 😂 LOL ... really seriously could u have any more things I want 😍 .... list is growing every episode!!!! Can’t wait to see that finish Brenda !!! I have. Even a monogamous stitcher lately and I’m so slow all the Halloween is passing by so fast :( I need 48 hr days....
Yes please to 48 hour days....but with no working outside the home!!!!!! Just stitching!!!!! Imagine the finishes we could have!!!! Thanks so much Sheila!!!
Have either of you ever put in an order for floss and linen, then, once it arrived, you don’t remember what project it was for? Asking for a friend.😕
Remember sweet friends, you do so much to our cross stitch community.....so kind of Humble Bumble! So very beautiful.
Thank you so much Sarah!!!!
Tab was my jam when I was in high school and college in the 80s. Can’t drink it now, but sure wish I could.
It is the best!!!!!! Sorry you cannot drink it now........hope you have a good substitute!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 sadly I don’t. 😭
I love watching you talk about your stitching!! Your love for stitching just shines through. Such a joy to watch and learn from you two.😊
Thank you so much for your kind words Trieva!!!!! Makes us so happy!
I love those magnetic ties, such a great idea. I had to pause your video, (which I never do) and order some. Love all the Halloween and sampler stitching. Can’t wait to see the Noel sampler finished!!
Thanks so much Nancy!!! Glad you placed an order .... I think those strappy things will come in very handy!
What a beautiful and special gift from Sally at The Humble Bumble Stitcher! I love your PS cat Laura and your witch from BOAF. I have had that kitted for a long time and should do something about it!! Brenda, I am in love with your Noel sampler. The colours just pop on that fabric. What a fun time going through your basket Laura and what a cool Halloween tree Brenda! Thanks as always. I loved your interview on Sam-Brie's channel! Stay safe and happy stitching.
Thanks so much Wanda!!!!! We appreciate all of your very kind comments!!!!! Hope you have a good two weeks of stitching!!!
I am so jealous, -being from Illinois (now in Bakersfield CA) I so miss the fall colors, my favorite time of year. With my Dad going to be 90 this coming year and the Covid problem I won't be going home this year, Enjoy the fall-thx for all your sharing!
I am so sorry you cannot make a trip out to Illinois this year Debra!!!! If it is any consolation...I really miss being in California too......(I was there for college and other visits through the years). You live in a beautiful state!
I so enjoy you two. It’s like your sitting across the table from me at my lns showing me what you bought! It’s because of you two and Carol that I’m going to start my first reproduction sampler January 1st. In fact, I have several kitted up and ready to go. Blackbird is my favorite and that’s as close as I’ve gotten until seeing your videos.
Thank you Tammie!!! and that is so exciting that you are going to start a reproduction sampler on 1/1/21!!!! Which one is it????
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 I have Sarah Barker and the LW Sampler both kitted and ready to go. Most likely it will the the latter! I’ve also gotten several of the Little Gems to stitch as well.
@@tammielatimer5357 We love both of those samplers!!! and all the little gems!!! You are about to go down a rabbit hole of happiness!
Yay for Tab!! So enjoyed seeing all that basket of Halloween. Brenda, the Noel sampler is one of my favorites and so excited to see your finish!! Enjoy your Sunday ladies!! ☺️ I stitched Halloween while watching! 🎃
Hi dear.....guess what...this morning they just announced they are discontinuing Tab forever. You can imagine that I am very sad right now. Ugh! This year sucks!!!!!! On the other hand, thank goodness for friends and stitching!! Hugs!
I love the tree of stockings! What a basket! Thanks for another great video! Be safe.
Thank you so much Mary Elizabeth!!
So I had a H and H week, LOL WooooHooo!!!!!!!! Got to watch Brenda and Laura twice this week!!!! Oh Glory Days!!!!! Hey I really enjoyed the Q&A Section.
Thank you so much!!!!
I am nervious about cutting fabric myself, but someone taught me to pull a thread from the linen to make a straight line......it works great. Measure three times both ways.All your things are just amazing and I am waiting eagerly for all your Christmas inspirations!!
Thanks Suzy!!! I have seen people pulling a thread but it looks very scary to me (Laura)!!! I will ask Brenda about it. She probably knows how to do it!
Girls, girls. It took me 2 days to watch your entire video! Why? Because I kept pausing and shopping. SQUIRRELS! Do you realize how much you influence us? Fun fun! Have a great week ❤️
Thanks Carol! Glad you found bunches of things you liked!!!
Every other Sunday is my favorite day, I get to see my favorite flosstubers. Love your Halloween stitching. Laura , so glad you have your Tab again!!
Thank you Judi!!!!! That is nice of you to be happy for me!!!
You both get me started on looking for new charts, and here I am trying to finish something!! But I have such a fun time. So glad to see what you are working on.
Thanks so much Kathy!!!!
TAB lol 🤣 Laura you are so fun and quirky! And Brenda so sweet and long suffering 😂 lol! Love your videos so much!!!
Thanks Denise!!!
I just discovered you guys and am going to start from the beginning and watch. I'm a sampler lover and stitcher too. Lots of inspiration here from your beautiful projects. Thanks!
Good video! Enjoyed your Halloween patterns. It made me go get Prairie Schooler When Witches go riding and work on it. I dont know when I started it. My favorite R&R fabric is winter brew.
Thank you Darleen!!! So glad that spurred you on to get out Witches!!!!!! Winter Brew is a fabulous R&R linen!!

Hello ladies. Good to see you both again. Loved seeing the basket of Halloween. So many good charts! Take care.

Well girls. Another fun video. Laura you have been a professional this past two weeks. So much fun stitching. And Brenda. Your noel sampler is looking wonderful. I wish I had picked cedar plank. Perfect choice!! I look forward to seeing you both again soon. Happy stitching!!
Thanks so much Lisa!!! See you on Sunday!!!
I just totally enjoyed watching and seeing what the two of you have done. Laura, you are on a roll with Halloween finishes, don't stop. Brenda, I would love to roam around your house, I bet you have the neatest things sitting around. Have a great 2 weeks of stitching. I'll be waiting to see what's next. Robin C.
Thank you Robin!!! And you are correct, Brenda has so many interesting and beautiful things all over her house! Every time I go I see something else that is just so lovely!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 Laura, I talked to Ann on the phone today at Dyeing to Stitch. When I mentioned you and Brenda she just laughed. Of course I ordered something.
@@guesswhosknitting Thanks for mentioning us....I love when we can send people to our favorite shops and favorite shop owners!!! Ann is a dear friend!
ENABLEMENT ALERT!!!! Thanks girls for all of the great stitching, and the giggles. And - so thankful your videos now coincide with my pay week 😉
Phewwww!!!! Glad they coincide with pay week too!!!!!! Thank you for watching and for your kind comment!
You have so many awesome Halloween patterns Laura ! You should do one a month throughout the year!
I really should!!! I should also do a Christmas ornament each month....but it just never seems to happen!
Great finish Brenda!
Love all of your Fall/Halloween stash Laura!
Marilyn
Thanks so much Marilyn!!
Oh so fun seeing your darling finishes Laura, your broom riding witch has quite the entourage of black kitties!! Brenda your Noel Sampler is scrumptious on Cedar Plank! I’ll be stitching more on mine after I finish Viola Martini, I can hardly stand waiting since seeing yours though! Happy Fall to you .... love all the Fall charts Laura, aren’t we blessed with amazing designers! Tabs Back..... pop a top again!
Thanks Carrie!!!!!! I need to get back to Viola Martini!!! Maybe tonight! You might have inspired me, but I am having a hard time putting down Feast of Friendship. Yes, Brenda's Noel sampler looks PERFECT on that Cedar Plank. We all need to get some!!!
Great video! The Tab is back!! I also bought the silicone ties!! They work great and they're adorable and will catch your needle when you drop it too!! 😊❤
Thanks Laura!!!! Glad you got the ties!!!
Oh my goodness...you ladies are the best source of stitching treasures! AKA: Enablers! I paused your video to go to Hands Across The Sea and acquired Tis the Season. I love it!! Your videos are such a treat and very uplifting during these crazy times! Thank you for all your efforts creating your videos...I appreciate your time.
Thank you so much Jackie!!!!!! So glad you went over to HATS and got that fun, fun chart!!!!! Hugs!!!
Those silicone ties are genius! I’m getting them...those thread spool covers aren’t working for me! Love seeing you both, as always! 😍
Thanks so much!!!
I had such fun stitching and watching you two, this morning! As always, love everything you do! I have stitched a few samplers with two houses:Mary Gibson, Marianne Wenn, Sovine Palphryman, and Her Sampler by Carriage House Samplings. I'm sure there are lots of others but those are some I've stitched. Laura might like Sovine because there's a big girl!
Thanks so much Terri!!!! Great list of two house samplers!!!! I am on the hunt for Sovine!!! She is beautiful!!!!! Hope you have a good week of stitching!!!
I live in the midwest also, Southeast WI, and I agree that we are seeing some really pretty colors this fall. Thanks for your videos, love to see what you are working on and collecting.
Thank you for watching Marla!!!!!!! We appreciate it!!! The colors are getting better and better over the last few days!
A light source close to your fabric is another way to magnify the holes. I clip a Mighty Bright on the top bar of my Qsnap. Very light weight especially when batteries are removed. 2 brightness settings, adapter sold separately on Amazon.
I want to try this!!!!!! Thanks!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 Stitching on dark fabric is a breeze with the Mighty Bright shining up through the back of the design area.
Laura... girl .... I could not believe you had so many finishes! You go girl! Loved seeing all of your fall pieces...I really do love seeing all of the PS pieces...just classic! Brenda, I am looking forward to seeing your Noel sampler finished... it’s such a lovely piece. You ladies have a great week...
Thanks Terri!!! Wasn't it shocking!!!! Hope you have a wonderful two weeks!!! Hugs!
Love you ladies! I’ll never stitch as much as you two do, but I like seeing all your progress.
Thanks so much Elizabeth!!!
Thanks for mentioning Kim at The Contented Stitcher. (I’m also a retired court reporter.). She’s amazing!
Thanks Vicky!!!! I always thought court reporting looked so interesting (and difficult!)
It was too much fun strolling through Laura's Halloween basket and listening to y'all chat tonight. Thank you! Brenda, I just love your Noel sampler!
Thank you so much Rachel!!!!
I had so much fun seeing your Halloween charts. I am working on a piece called Witchy Washy. It comes with a clothes line, and all of her clothing hanging. Buttons too. Look it up.
Thank you ladies, yes we did have a fabulous Thanksgiving. We celebrated outside on the lawn in the backyard. It was a sunny fall day and we were able to keep our distance. I had made the turkey dinner with an apple crisp for dessert. Plain and. simple and those that could be there were there and all was good.
That sounds like a perfect Canadian day!!!
I love me a good longaberger basket - that is beautiful. My mom is downsizing into an apartment and I was her lucky recipient of 8 or so! I was all HEPPED up for sure when I got that box! I just finished that Hello Fall by Plum Street - you can start and finish in a week, it's super fast.
That is so wonderful Catherine!!!!! Eight baskets is a major score!!!! Thanks for the pep talk on Hello Fall!!!
Omgosh a finish? How lovely!
Girls you are the bomb! You bring such joy to us all. Enjoyed your sharings and all your excitement. I’m gonna need a bigger boat soon. How will I ever downsize?????
Thanks Angel! We will downsize clothing, jewelry, dishes, furniture....basically everything but our stitching!
Brought to you by Tab! Water for me tonight. Love all the calendars and stinkers! So much fun!! Your friendship is the best! Love this listening to y’all!! Love all the projects and charts. All the great inspiration!!
I’m a monogamous stitcher, have been for years, but now I have three projects going..... what’s happening to me?!
Love the cat finishes!! They’ll be great as little pillows.
Thanks for the video! xxxx
Thanks for watching LIsa!!!!! Thanks for you lovely comments!!! Uh oh....three projects going...you are on a slippery slope to a Laura lifestyle!!! Hugs!
Oh my! Would love to see the beautiful trees! In California, only the dropping of the palm fronds is happening and that’s because of the wind. Lovely visit ladies! ❤️👋
Thanks Kendra! Yes, but in February and March you have beautiful trees and all we have is trees without leaves....sticks really.
Hi Ladies! Great video. Loved seeing all the Halloween patterns Laura showed. Deb at Country Stitches stitched an Autumn Quaker sampler, not sure if it’s the same one someone is looking for, but she might contact Deb and ask her about it. It was absolutely beautiful and I want to stitch it, too. But that’s all I know about that. Have a great two weeks stitching and happy fall!! 🍂🦉🍁🦔🍂🐿🍁🐌🤎🤎🧡🧡💛💛🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks so much Cathy!!! Yes, I think it is the same one that Deb did!
Autumn Quaker Forest us by Wiehenburg Designs. They have Spring and Autumn done and are doing a SAL for Winter. I guess Summer will be next year - eagerly awaiting. Here is a link to their page: www.wiehenburg.eu/en-gb/
ENABLERS, Inc., I'm going to call you two!!! I kept stopping and starting and couldn't write fast enough...Wish i could remember shorthand...lol...
Love you two so much...thank you for sharing...
Thanks so much!!!!!! Glad you found lots of stuff to like and want to stitch!!!!
Yeash! You to totally got me today! I ordered three patterns and I'm only half way through your video! FOMO got me with the Feast of Friendship, so I'm going to have to stitch it as well.:) I'm going to have to finish your video tomorrow so I don't spend anymore today! Yes, I was very inspired!:)
Oh that is so exciting!! Glad you are joining in on Feast of Friendship!!!! I have been addicted to it since my restart and I hope Brenda is going to start soon!!! She is closing in on a finish on the Noel Sampler. So happy you found "a few" things you liked!!!
Another fabulous video; I truly look forward to Sunday when the two of you do your video. Oh happy day!! Laura has her Tab back and I am so happy!! I had to go to Modern Folk Embroidery and purchase the coverlet pattern; I will also be going to HATS to get the little Christmas girls too. If you have not looked at Kitten Stitcher, she has posted a new reproduction sampler that looks really good too; it has a wonderful house in it. You may want to check it out. I loved seeing what the two of you are stitching and planning to stitch. Hugs and happy stitching................
Thanks so much Pam!!!!! Yes, must get that new sampler from Kitten Stitcher! Love it! Glad you got the stuff from MFE and HATS!!! Hugs right back to you!!!
So enjoy visiting with you ladies every other Sunday. I recently moved back to central IL and the weather has been fabulous! Noel Sampler is on my radar for this holiday season. Thanks for another wonderful video!
Thanks so much Jaime!!! Welcome back to Illinois!!!!
