I will just never get tired of watching you two sharing your stitching with each other, and us. Brenda, please don't ever be ashamed of what you buy, or how much of it you buy. We've all been so pent up in our homes that when we finally get to go and do a LEISURELY, purely for enjoyment, shopping trip... uhhh yeah. I go a little crazy too! We would absolutely never ever judge you on that!!!
Another great video! Brenda I hope you will never feel judged by any of us! We love you and love all you do! I always start with pen and paper for all the inspiration you both share!
How wonderful that you 2 got to go to your shop Saturday! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your haul, Brenda. But, you shouldn't have been embarrassed! Have a great week!
Brenda, you are in a safe place with us. Your haul choices inspire and enable us. Thank you both for producing these videos weekly during this crazy time. They are a calm in the storm of current events.
Thank you very kindly Jackie!!! We will be showing all the haul from now on!!! Although I am going to have reduce my intake very soon......I have been out of control!
Thank you so much for your weekly infusion of pure joy! You have no idea how your videos are the highlight of my week. Everyone loves your coo koo clock and I think the clock has perfect timing to give us all a needed laugh. I am too tired to stitch on my "All Joys for Thine" this evening after working in the garden for over 3 hours this morning. I was getting the soil prepped to plant my sweet potatoes slips. I hope you show us the rest of your purchases next week. Happy stitching Brenda and Laura, love you!
We are truly being spoiled by these Sunday get togethers! Thanks as always. I'm so excited (ok, and jealous) that both of you and your friends got to be together and go to a stitching store!!!
Thank you again Wanda for the amazing chart you sent to me!!!!!! I wish we could all be together and stitch! Don't be too jealous of our get together......shopping and socializing while wearing a mask was not very much fun. I don't think I will be doing that again until we can do it sans mask. In the meantime, thank goodness for mail order! Hugs!
@Pat Marshalla waving to you from Decatur! It's a shame there's no shops downstate for us, I think I need to drive up to Inspired Needle sometime if you want to go, let me know! I miss having stitchy friends.
Brenda, you have to show ALL your haul to help the rest of us feel normal about our "embarrassing " haul addiction. Plus, we need more enabling to buy the things we didn't know we needed (like the Dovo scissors which I diligently bought). All kidding aside, you two always provide uplifting entertainment. It's especially welcomed after all the awful things that happened in our country this past weekend. Have a wonderful week!!
Thanks for your videos and a special thanks for encouraging me to make the jump first to evenweave/linen and then moving to higher counts. I seemed to be stuck in my comfort zone of 28count but when you said anyone can stitch on anything with good lighting/magnification I decided to push myself. Big thank you ladies 🙏😍
Y’all are a hoot!! I hardly ever comment but I just have to tell y’all how much I look forward to your videos! You inspire me to stitch, stitch and stitch! Plus y’all always have me laughing and smiling! Luv you too!! ❤️❤️
Thank you so much Jean!!!!!! That is so kind of you to say!!!!! I think it is great that we all inspire each other to stitch and stash and dream and plan!!!! We are all so lucky!!!
Brenda, your cuckoo clock always seems to chime in at the most hilarious moments! Love all of you ladies beautiful projects! Such fun watching all the haul!
Yall definitely have the magic touch with the Attic. I have found those little spots on lots of hand-dyed fabric and I just decided not to buy from those dyers anymore. Alot of people are not bothered by it and I guess on some projects it would be OK, but it makes me kinda crazy! Thanks, gals, for another wonderful video!!!
Thanks Suzy!!!! It is weird...I have never seen any little marks on my hand dyed linen....now I will probably start noticing them all over the place! Thank you for watching!
Don’t be embarrassed by your haul!!! I have ordered so much that I can’t even remember what or who!!! Love your clock!!! Don’t turn it off!!! I love watching the two of you!!!
Thanks Mary Jane!!! We can both identify with the ordering of too much. I placed an order this morning and I better not order one more thing in June!!! It is craziness. It just brings so much joy!!!
Another wonderful segment. Always informative and hilarious. Brenda, don’t be embarrassed by your purchases. You only live once. Enjoy. So happy you both had a shopping trip to your LNS. 😊
Love seeing your smiling faces and passion for stitching 💕 Laura when acted like you were throwing the linen over your shoulder I lost it 😂😂 and I don’t know why, maybe it was the breeze😂 Brenda no judgement ever.. watching hauls is enjoyable and makes me happy to see others face’s light up with excitement for new beautiful projects. Thank you both for your dedication to making weekly Flosstube!
Truly a Joyous Day for me to find out you got out of the house. I'm much further north than you and very blessed to say from one of the least affected states in our nation. My heart has been heavy for all of you in the lower 48. Enjoy your mobility, but to everyone in our stitchy family please stay cautious & be safe. Thanks for the new episode ladies, Cheers!
Thanks so much!!!!!! It was a mixed blessing going out because with the mask it makes shopping and browsing a lot less fun. But it was good that we could do it!!! Glad you are in a safe place....stay well!!!!
Love your stitching and the cuckoo! I saw a designer on instagram use a thread off her linen to tent stitch over top of a dye spot to cover it up. Looked smaller than linen slubs that you already find on fabric!
Thank you for the fun video! So fun to get out with friends again! We went to a quilt shop that was open. We do not have any local needle shops where I live. I would love to see some linens in person! Have a great week!
It’s like the cuckoo bird is listening to every single word! My people made me turn mine off while everyone is working and learning from home. 😂 Wow. The mail was fast, I can’t believe you have those floss tags already. I’m just grateful you guys have kept this up through the Covidiocy Era. You are really helping (i.e. enabling) this newly returned stitcher with all the things you share. Thanks so much, y’all!
Most subdivisions with HOA's don't allow clotheslines! Who would ever have thought that they would be offensive??? My home is 40 years old & not in a subdivision so I could have a clothesline if my husband would put one up for me. I love the smell of sun dried sheets, pillow cases, towels, that fresh smell that no dryer can duplicate. Brenda, please don't silence the cuckoo clock! It brings back memories of my favorite aunt's house. And Brenda!!! show us all the goodies you buy or get in the mail. We're not judges. We just love to see what you get and share in the happy mail or stash enhancement. Enjoyed spending time with you two as usual. Thanks for making your videos, you light up my day.
Brenda don’t be embarrassed by your haul, trust me when I say we are all guilty on that one! 😝 Listen to Laura, you cannot turn off your coo coo clock it has perfect timing...pun intended 😂 another great FlossTube in the books!
An evening well spent with you lovely and entertaining Ladies❤️ I have literally only finished two small cross stitch pieces. But I have a ton of haul heading my way. I am building up quite a stack of stash and wips. I managed to stitch almost everyday in May except 30 and 31st. I am going to try to stitch everyday in June. My “a perfect Sunday in June” personal challenge❤️❤️ Hugs!!!
That is so exciting Deb!!!! Build that stash!!! It's almost as much fun as stitching and sometimes even more fun!!! Yes, stitch every day in June!!!! Wooohooo!!!
My sheets and shirts are out on the clothesline as we speak. And they will be all summer. Underwear and towels do go in the dryer. Nothing like getting into bed with line dried sheets. Love your videos, so glad your doing them every week thank you. Please show everything!
Brenda, The Vic Motto Heritage Sampler is gorgeous! I got mine in the mail too and cannot wait to stitch on it! And, Laura, backstory about your Threads of Gold design... Edna Medlin of ToG was a dear friend and my mentor here in NC getting me started stitching on linen. She was a truly sweet woman, good friend of Jean Lea and known for reproducing exquisite antique samplers. You picked a very beautiful sampler of hers to stitch! Great video ladies!!♥️
Oh I am so glad to hear that Faye!!! It makes stitching Mary Corey even more special. I stuck with it all week thus far and am really enjoying it! I love the name Edna too. Sending you a big hug!
Never stop showing! Love it and don’t be embarrassed! I dream through you guys! Stuff isn’t as easily available where I am and I cannot afford it. However I do write what I love that you guys show and have found a few Canadian stores I can order from. Show show show please! 💜💜💜💜 No never turn off the cuckoo it cannot help it sometimes is just at the right time! 😉😉👍
Thanks Cindy!!! Okay, we will make sure to show it all!!!!!! I wish Canada had more stitching stores or I wish shipping costs and delivery times were better from the USA. And that cuckoo will keep on going!!!!
Great video. I'll be looking for that Liberty Hill Farm. I've dying to try those Sulky Threads. Love the patterns you both showde, and the fabrics and flosses. Happy stitching. Have a great week.
Brenda and Laura...you two are so sweet...no LNS here so I depend on you two to show me what I need to order...hoping we have a lot of perfect days in June...best wishes❤️❤️
Love you ladies, thank you for taking the time to make a video. How great to go to a needlework shop. Cracked me up about the underwear. Have a great week and happy stitching.
I’d never judge. Drool and envy maybe lol. Wonderful haul and WIPs. Your BB finishes amazing. I finished that o la la box. Was from a BB retreat. Thank you for visiting. My dogs named Bailey too.
Always glad to see a new video up from you two. Today I was really glad that I had not watched the latest yet as this morningi had to have a PET Scan and was able to watch while waiting for the junk to get into my body. The wait was 45 min and your video was around 44 min - perfect! Thank you ladies for keeping me entertained 😄
I hope that your PET scan went okay Brenda. Sending lots of good vibes, love and hugs to you. Glad you had a floss tube to watch as you waited. Take good care of yourself!!!
Laura, I'd continue stitching on the red sampler you overdyed. I didn't see large botches of red and the walnuts spray is a good idea. It gives it character. Fingers crossed summer school is a go!
Hi Girls, enjoyed your video today-yall are so funny, and that cuckoo clock has perfect timing! Please don't turn it off-it's hilarious! Loved seeing your haul and what you are stitching on. I wish we had an LNS here, but sadly we don't. You are so lucky. Brenda, don't be embarrassed to show all of your beautiful things that you got in the mail. We want to see! Laura, your starts are very pretty. I hope you two have a great upcoming week and get lots of stitching done. Get outside today and enjoy your cool, beautiful weather. I think we are supposed to get in the upper 80's today and very humid. Yuck! Until next week....Pam Miller in Alabama
Your cuckoo has perfect timing and hits it every time !!! Great haul and don't be ashamed to show it . Glad you could see each other and go shopping . Happy June Stitching
Thanks for telling us about Total Framing's instagram. I'm following them now. I have to send them some framing someday soon! Envious of your Inspired Needle trip. Oh. Speaking of Lakeside. I was naughty and ordered a chart and floss but not the fabric (cause it wasn't available). Dug through my stash. Yup! I have the required Lakeside Linen in the stash! :D I still have a bunch of Lakeside. Just need to find it all. lol!
I told my husband about the clothesline and underwear. He said that when is was growing up, he heard that you weren’t supposed to air your dirty laundry. I think it would be okay to dry your clean underwear, wouldn’t you think? Oh, well. I always liked sheets after they were dried on the clothesline. I would like to have a clothesline just to photograph my finished quilts. I guess I could put something up temporarily. I love all your videos and all your goodies you show!❤️🐿❤️
Your BBD’s finish looks beautiful Brenda🇺🇸 Congrats! It feels so good when we finish our BBD’s🥳 Laura you will love stitching With My Needle. It’s so pretty and fun to stitch on🤗 Haul is our hobby gals and I used to feel guilty about it but no more! I look at it as an adventure and when I’m gone what is anyone going to do about it😂😂😂😂 Cuckoo 🤪 Have a good week ladies🥰
I think your way of looking at haul is right!!!!! It is a separate hobby from stitching and one that is just as much fun. We all need some haul/stash in our lives!
My sisters in stitches, I love you both and your Flosstube!!! There is no one who is going to judge you and I want to see everything you get as I could be missing out on something!!! Think about the number of people who don’t have a LNS. You are doing a public service in regards to giving us a better look at things, we see the things, then we help out the shops by then ordering the things. You see, it is for the good of everyone!!!😂😂😂. Laura- I am so glad you got some new barn door for All Joys for Thine. I know you will be so glad you did!!! Loved the red GigiR sampler. We should all be adding that to our collections and stitching it. What red are you using??? I have a piece of French Vanilla I think I am going to use for it and probably schoolhouse red from Gloriana. As always, looking forward to your next video!!!!
Thanks Lisa!!!! I think Brenda has heard from everyone that there is no judging and we all want to see everything! I love haul and WIP parades too. I could watch them all day long!
I'm so glad you ladies had a good time at Inspired Needle! I know it felt good to browse through an actual store again. Brenda, I'd bet the most judgement you'll get if you show the full haul is from your sassy clock. Laura, I nearly spit out my drink when you pretended to toss the linen over your shoulder. I had to stop the video to explain to my aunt that I wasn't actually choking. Snort. Thank y'all once again, and I hope you have a delightful week. PS--Laura, I'm absolutely green with envy that you got sent the With My Needle chart...the only way I'll feel better is if you start stitching it and show us progress ;)
Hi dear! Thanks for your kind words!!! I will look tonight to see if I have the threads to start that one....and if I do and when I finish it I will pass it on to you....it may be a long wait, but........ can you send me an email at duetabode@comcast.net so that I can put your address with the chart for when I finish it? I want to spread the joy that Wanda spread!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 Hi Laura! WOW You are the best! I have sent you an email from cadfael1385 [at] yahoo.com Hope you're having a brilliant day.
I would never judge, we are enabled by your cross stitch adventures. I love the new linen from Victorian Motto. I would be curious about the dye marks as well. We must have all seen the Attic’s video with the Faun and Vellum, just got mine this past week and it’s beautiful. Love all the linens and seriously one can never have enough linen. Just a FYI, clothes lines are a must in Northeast PA, I love the smell of fresh sheets but you are right, underwear stays inside. Take care
No judgement here Brenda! Show us all of the things! Congrats on your BBD finish! I love that on the black fabric! Underwear on the clothes line! You two crack me up! Laura you got me all hepped up on the Threads of Gold Mary Corey pattern!
Did you find it yet Jodi!!?? I saw that Kitten Stitcher had it. I am working on it for the past two days and it is a very fun stitch!!!!! Thanks for your kind words!
Brenda, you know I love seeing the goodies you two find! When you stop working and must be more careful, you’ll appreciate being able to buy all things now! Oh, and we cannot hang laundry out either along with a couple other crazy rules! Laura, I’m also doing Liberty Rose-made do with what I had!
Thanks Judy!!!! Would love to see your Liberty Rose! Yes, we have to stash now for the time when we cannot spend like crazy people. (My husband would strongly disagree with that sentiment!)
Brenda, your cuckoo clock cracks me up with the timing!! You two were making me laugh today - what great finishes and your hauls are amazing!!! Have a wonderful Sunday!!! ❤️
How lovely to be able to go to an LNS , the closest one to me is 1.5-2 hours away. I was hoping to start going once a year every spring, maybe next year! As always love your videos!
No judging here! We worked for it, and you still do!! Idea for red overdye. Spray little blue dye and you’ll have faux Heroic for something patriotic. I did Sarah Spencer on R&R Chamomile Tea! Thanks y’all! ♥️
Don’t you dare turn that cuckoo clock off..the timing is spot on! Never be ashamed to show your stash...makes me feel so much better about mine. I’m choosing to hoard fabric...forget the toilet paper...it’s overrated. We can’t have a clothesline either but my husband is defiant and has one anyway...and he hangs his drawers on it. ❤️
Another fun video, Cool wips, project bags, charts... Gotta leave the coo coo clock ON, I try to guess when its gonna go Off. Awww, No Undies on a line out back, haaa. And OMG imperfections in hand-dyed expensive Fabric pushes me right over the edge!!!! And mislabeled ones too. 🤯
Ditto on the NO JUDGE!! Laura, that Blackbird chart you got from Wanda is my current unicorn, a bit jealous, but I will keep hunting. Thanks for a bright spot in my week. Very inspiring and motivational. . . want to stitch all the things! Might have to go back and watch you two from the beginning again, so I can write down all the rules. The clock has excellent timing every week AND I love Laura's endorsement. Can't wait to see you next week.
Am I the only one who keeps a running notebook of samplers recommended by Brenda and Laura? My only consolation is I finished 3 WIPs this month while watching floss tube. 😃
Hahahahaha! Hang the underwear out on the line! You ladies are a hoot! Love the cuckoo clock - please don’t turn it off. I can’t go to a shop yet, so I love seeing all your haul. Beautiful stitching ladies. Have a good week.
I’m not going to judge you, because I would be calling the kettle black. I have bought so much stuff. I love getting happy mail. It sure helped getting through the last 3 months. We are starting back to work this week but we won’t be open to the public. We have to type 20 thousand titles that have come in over the past 3 months. Our office does all the titles for the state of Nevada. Happy shopping and stitching. Enjoyed your show
Love your video, as always. And hello, Brenda, you need to show all the stash. We won’t judge. We want to see it! 😆 Show it off! And I love the cuckoo clock in the background. Laura, I think I need that Summertime Coverlet pattern you showed. It is so pretty and I love single color patterns.
Hi Brenda and Laura. I loved your video today and always enjoy seeing ALL of your goodies you have acquired. Don't be embarrassed! Please don't turn off the cuckoo clock. I think it is hilarious and I have always wanted one. Thank you so much for keeping me company as I am unfortunately in bed today not feeling well. Today is a perfect Sunday even though it is not June. Have a wonderful week.....Take good care.....Crystal.
Brenda, please share! We would never judge you but we might be a bit jealous, LOL. Being that I have no linen fabric at all I need to start ordering some. I have never stitched on linen and really want to. I have no LNS so I will have to order online. Can you recommend some good places to order. I live in Georgia but will order from any good shop anywhere. I love watching you two! Happy Stitching!
I love the cuckoo! Somehow it knows just the right time to speak up. I love your sharing your haul. It actually works to my benefit...when I show it to my DH, it makes it seem like I don't buy too much. 😉
Your clock makes itself know at the most appropriate times! Your underwear hanging on the line......😂😂😂😂😂. You gals always bring a little laughter. Thank you. Beautiful finish Brenda. Love that Gigi R Laura. Brenda for cryin’ out loud! Show us all the things! No call for embarrassment. Don’t you know I live vicariously through you? Some day I am going to meet you two at Inspired Needle. That is my plan anyway. Take care. Happy stitching.
I totally love the cuckoo clock; it always "speaks" at just the right times! LOL Brenda, I would have really loved to see all of your stash as I love that, so maybe you would feel like adding it in a little at a time in future videos? I could watch the two of you all day. I am so glad that you got to go to Inspired Needle; that would be fun, I have not been there but I watch their videos. And Kathy is at Needlework Galleria as the organizer and she usually has a booth too, so fun. Maybe the two of you will think about attending Galleria in September at St. Charles, MO. I loved seeing all of your stitching, stash, and to hear your plans for the week. Hugs to you both and happy stitching......
Thanks Pam!!!!! If things open up maybe we will finally make it to Galleria!!! It often is scheduled between various retreats and we have usually overextended ourselves earlier in the year financially with other retreats so we have not attended. But if there was ever a time to attend......this is it!!!! Hugs!
I will just never get tired of watching you two sharing your stitching with each other, and us. Brenda, please don't ever be ashamed of what you buy, or how much of it you buy. We've all been so pent up in our homes that when we finally get to go and do a LEISURELY, purely for enjoyment, shopping trip... uhhh yeah. I go a little crazy too! We would absolutely never ever judge you on that!!!
Another great video! Brenda I hope you will never feel judged by any of us! We love you and love all you do! I always start with pen and paper for all the inspiration you both share!
I love your videos. Thanks for posting every week. You keep me motivated to stitch all of my big samplers. I love seeing your wips and finishes ❤️
How wonderful that you 2 got to go to your shop Saturday! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your haul, Brenda. But, you shouldn't have been embarrassed! Have a great week!
Brenda, you are in a safe place with us. Your haul choices inspire and enable us. Thank you both for producing these videos weekly during this crazy time. They are a calm in the storm of current events.
Thank you very kindly Jackie!!! We will be showing all the haul from now on!!! Although I am going to have reduce my intake very soon......I have been out of control!
Would never judge you, love seeing what everyone gets, then I get ideas for my cross stitching
Thank you so much for your weekly infusion of pure joy! You have no idea how your videos are the highlight of my week.

I am too tired to stitch on my "All Joys for Thine" this evening after working in the garden for over 3 hours this morning. I was getting the soil prepped to plant my sweet potatoes slips.

You will not be judged, I want to see what you have. You two add a lot of love and laughter to the cross stitch world....
Thank you for your kind words Joan!!!!!! I will get after Brenda to show it all!!!!
You two brighten my day and inspire me to stitch. I live downstate near Springfield. Stay safe
@Pat Marshalla waving to you from Decatur! It's a shame there's no shops downstate for us, I think I need to drive up to Inspired Needle sometime if you want to go, let me know! I miss having stitchy friends.
Thank you so much Pat!!!! And it would be great if you and Jo could get together to stitch and drive to Inspired Needle on occasion!!!
So glad to got to shop.. Thank you for the great video I do enjoy watching the 2 of you... Have a great week
Brenda, you have to show ALL your haul to help the rest of us feel normal about our "embarrassing " haul addiction. Plus, we need more enabling to buy the things we didn't know we needed (like the Dovo scissors which I diligently bought). All kidding aside, you two always provide uplifting entertainment. It's especially welcomed after all the awful things that happened in our country this past weekend. Have a wonderful week!!

Brenda and the Serial Starter I found the post, it was stone street :)
Thank you for the giggles and sharing more with us.
You ladies are so great. Thank you for sharing all your stitching goodies and updates. You make EVERY Sunday perfect!
Love your videos, everything I know now I learned from you girls.
Thank you ladies! So happy you got to be together with friends in person!
Two bright shiny faces!! Much needed today and every Sunday!!!❤️
Thank you for the fun video! So fun to get out with friends again! We went to a quilt shop that was open. We do not have any local needle shops where I live. I would love to see some linens in person! Have a great week!
It’s like the cuckoo bird is listening to every single word! My people made me turn mine off while everyone is working and learning from home. 😂

Thanks so much!!!!!! We must say a lot of crazy stuff, because that clock is always chiming in at the perfect time!!!
An evening well spent with you lovely and entertaining Ladies❤️ I have literally only finished two small cross stitch pieces. But I have a ton of haul heading my way.

Great video. I'll be looking for that Liberty Hill Farm. I've dying to try those Sulky Threads. Love the patterns you both showde, and the fabrics and flosses. Happy stitching. Have a great week.
Thanks for another great video! Be well!💗
Brenda and Laura...you two are so sweet...no LNS here so I depend on you two to show me what I need to order...hoping we have a lot of perfect days in June...best wishes❤️❤️
Thank you for your kind and sweet comments Loretta!!! Hugs!
Love you ladies, thank you for taking the time to make a video. How great to go to a needlework shop. Cracked me up about the underwear. Have a great week and happy stitching.
I’d never judge. Drool and envy maybe lol. Wonderful haul and WIPs. Your BB finishes amazing. I finished that o la la box. Was from a BB retreat. Thank you for visiting. My dogs named Bailey too.
Thanks Patti!!!!! Say hi to Bailey for us!!!
Brenda, you "work hard" so you can "play hard". Enjoy every minute of you guys! 🙋🏼🍷❤️
Thanks ladies. Love the cuckoo clock - I also have one. Great haul.
Nothing says elegance like a t-shirt! I love you two!!😂😂
Thank you Robbie!!! I may stitch elegant but I dress for comfort!!
Brenda and the Serial Starter Awoman after my own heart...in more ways than one😊
Always glad to see a new video up from you two. Today I was really glad that I had not watched the latest yet as this
morningi had to have a PET Scan and was able to watch while waiting for the junk to get into my body. The wait was 45 min and your video was around 44 min - perfect! Thank you ladies for keeping me entertained 😄
I hope that your PET scan went okay Brenda. Sending lots of good vibes, love and hugs to you. Glad you had a floss tube to watch as you waited. Take good care of yourself!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 thanks I'll find out Tuesday. Apparently they didnt get all my breast cancer 3 years ago😝
I just love y’all! You bring me so much laughter and you put a big smile on my face.❤️
Thank you so much Audrea!!!! Hugs!
So nice you were able to have a reunion at The Silver Needle. 💓💓
Please don't turn off the clock, it cracks me up every time! Love you both!
I know!!! It really cracks me up too!!! Thanks Nancy!
Brenda you are absolutely right, today is a perfect Sunday. I wish it could be like this everyday. Do not like heat.
It was a perfect day!!! I love cool days too!!! Neither of us care for hot days!
Laura, I'd continue stitching on the red sampler you overdyed. I didn't see large botches of red and the walnuts spray is a good idea. It gives it character. Fingers crossed summer school is a go!
I adore the cuckoo clock and please show every last bit of haul! No judgement from me for sure! 💗💗💗
Yay! You got to go shopping! Thanks for sharing! Loved your Cuckoo Elegance chime! Great fun! See you next Sunday, together?
Love watching u two! And that coocoo clock is so timely sometimes 😂 Awesome !
Hi Girls, enjoyed your video today-yall are so funny, and that cuckoo clock has perfect timing! Please don't turn it off-it's hilarious! Loved seeing your haul and what you are stitching on. I wish we had an LNS here, but sadly we don't. You are so lucky. Brenda, don't be embarrassed to show all of your beautiful things that you got in the mail. We want to see! Laura, your starts are very pretty. I hope you two have a great upcoming week and get lots of stitching done. Get outside today and enjoy your cool, beautiful weather. I think we are supposed to get in the upper 80's today and very humid. Yuck! Until next week....Pam Miller in Alabama
Your cuckoo has perfect timing and hits it every time !!! Great haul and don't be ashamed to show it . Glad you could see each other and go shopping . Happy June Stitching
Thanks Linda!!!!!!!
Thanks for telling us about Total Framing's instagram. I'm following them now. I have to send them some framing someday soon! Envious of your Inspired Needle trip. Oh. Speaking of Lakeside. I was naughty and ordered a chart and floss but not the fabric (cause it wasn't available). Dug through my stash. Yup! I have the required Lakeside Linen in the stash! :D I still have a bunch of Lakeside. Just need to find it all. lol!
I told my husband about the clothesline and underwear. He said that when is was growing up, he heard that you weren’t supposed to air your dirty laundry. I think it would be okay to dry your clean underwear, wouldn’t you think? Oh, well. I always liked sheets after they were dried on the clothesline. I would like to have a clothesline just to photograph my finished quilts. I guess I could put something up temporarily.
I love all your videos and all your goodies you show!❤️🐿❤️
Thanks Candi!!! A clothesline of quilts would be so inspiring!
Your BBD’s finish looks beautiful Brenda🇺🇸 Congrats! It feels so good when we finish our BBD’s🥳 Laura you will love stitching With My Needle. It’s so pretty and fun to stitch on🤗 Haul is our hobby gals and I used to feel guilty about it but no more! I look at it as an adventure and when I’m gone what is anyone going to do about it😂😂😂😂 Cuckoo 🤪 Have a good week ladies🥰
I think your way of looking at haul is right!!!!! It is a separate hobby from stitching and one that is just as much fun. We all need some haul/stash in our lives!
Brenda and the Serial Starter 🥳
My sisters in stitches, I love you both and your Flosstube!!! There is no one who is going to judge you and I want to see everything you get as I could be missing out on something!!! Think about the number of people who don’t have a LNS. You are doing a public service in regards to giving us a better look at things, we see the things, then we help out the shops by then ordering the things. You see, it is for the good of everyone!!!😂😂😂. Laura- I am so glad you got some new barn door for All Joys for Thine. I know you will be so glad you did!!! Loved the red GigiR sampler. We should all be adding that to our collections and stitching it. What red are you using??? I have a piece of French Vanilla I think I am going to use for it and probably schoolhouse red from Gloriana. As always, looking forward to your next video!!!!
I love everything you two talk about and show. Brenda, no judgement here re:haul. I find haul/WIP parades relaxing.
Thanks Lisa!!!! I think Brenda has heard from everyone that there is no judging and we all want to see everything! I love haul and WIP parades too. I could watch them all day long!
Love the timing of the cuckoo clocks!! Thanks for another fun video!!
I'm so glad you ladies had a good time at Inspired Needle! I know it felt good to browse through an actual store again.
Brenda, I'd bet the most judgement you'll get if you show the full haul is from your sassy clock.
Laura, I nearly spit out my drink when you pretended to toss the linen over your shoulder. I had to stop the video to explain to my aunt that I wasn't actually choking. Snort.
Thank y'all once again, and I hope you have a delightful week.
PS--Laura, I'm absolutely green with envy that you got sent the With My Needle chart...the only way I'll feel better is if you start stitching it and show us progress ;)
Hi dear! Thanks for your kind words!!! I will look tonight to see if I have the threads to start that one....and if I do and when I finish it I will pass it on to you....it may be a long wait, but........ can you send me an email at duetabode@comcast.net so that I can put your address with the chart for when I finish it? I want to spread the joy that Wanda spread!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 Hi Laura! WOW You are the best! I have sent you an email from cadfael1385 [at] yahoo.com Hope you're having a brilliant day.
I would never judge, we are enabled by your cross stitch adventures. I love the new linen from Victorian Motto. I would be curious about the dye marks as well. We must have all seen the Attic’s video with the Faun and Vellum, just got mine this past week and it’s beautiful. Love all the linens and seriously one can never have enough linen. Just a FYI, clothes lines are a must in Northeast PA, I love the smell of fresh sheets but you are right, underwear stays inside. Take care
Thanks Renee!!!!! Glad you got some of that linen from the Attic!!!!!!
Loved the episode! I am totally enabled and I like it;)
Hi Brenda me again, I use baby wipes on little dye marks on my fabrics, this sometimes works wonders☺️
Thanks Jane!!!! That is a great tip!!!
Let me know if it works for you xxx
No judgement here Brenda! Show us all of the things! Congrats on your BBD finish! I love that on the black fabric! Underwear on the clothes line! You two crack me up! Laura you got me all hepped up on the Threads of Gold Mary Corey pattern!
Did you find it yet Jodi!!?? I saw that Kitten Stitcher had it. I am working on it for the past two days and it is a very fun stitch!!!!! Thanks for your kind words!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 I haven't yet but I will check kitten stitcher out! Won't be my first order LOL...
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 way to go ladies....out of stock @kittenstitcher. I know it was you! LOL
Brenda, you know I love seeing the goodies you two find! When you stop working and must be more careful, you’ll appreciate being able to buy all things now! Oh, and we cannot hang laundry out either along with a couple other crazy rules! Laura, I’m also doing Liberty Rose-made do with what I had!
Thanks Judy!!!! Would love to see your Liberty Rose! Yes, we have to stash now for the time when we cannot spend like crazy people. (My husband would strongly disagree with that sentiment!)
Brenda and the Serial Starter mine just rolls his eyes! I gently remind him what he spends for football season tickets!
Never embarrasing This is vicarious stitching please :)
BRENDA WE WOULD NEVER JUDGE YOU!!!! 😂😂😂. SHOW US ALL THE HAUL!!!! AND SHOW US YOUR UNDERWEAR HANGING OUT ON THE CLOTHESLINE!! 🩲 👚 or don’t 😂😂
Yes, I agree....it is a no judging zone! I will work on Brenda to show future haul in its entirety! But no underwear from anyone!!!
Long Dawg Stitcher 😂😂
Love you guys,
Brenda, your cuckoo clock cracks me up with the timing!! You two were making me laugh today - what great finishes and your hauls are amazing!!! Have a wonderful Sunday!!! ❤️
Thank you dear buddy!!!!!!!!! Wish you could have been with us when we were hauling. Fingers crossed for hauling at The Attic in November!!!!
How lovely to be able to go to an LNS , the closest one to me is 1.5-2 hours away. I was hoping to start going once a year every spring, maybe next year! As always love your videos!
I hope you can get there sooner than next spring Christina!!! I would probably do it once a quarter.....have to browse!
Oh how I love thhat clock!!
Binge watching past videos. The cuckoo clocked chimed in about the t-shirt elegance, and I lost it in laughter! Love you two.
No judging here! We worked for it, and you still do!! Idea for red overdye. Spray little blue dye and you’ll have faux Heroic for something patriotic. I did Sarah Spencer on R&R Chamomile Tea! Thanks y’all! ♥️
Don’t you dare turn that cuckoo clock off..the timing is spot on! Never be ashamed to show your stash...makes me feel so much better about mine. I’m choosing to hoard fabric...forget the toilet paper...it’s overrated. We can’t have a clothesline either but my husband is defiant and has one anyway...and he hangs his drawers on it. ❤️
Another fun video, Cool wips, project bags, charts... Gotta leave the coo coo clock ON, I try to guess when its gonna go Off. Awww, No Undies on a line out back, haaa. And OMG imperfections in hand-dyed expensive Fabric pushes me right over the edge!!!! And mislabeled ones too. 🤯
Show all your stash😄💜 no one is judging. 💖🤗💜
Love Inspired Needle..can't wait to go back. I'm in Texas and do phone orders.
That is great that you order from Cathy!!! I know she appreciates it very much!!! Thanks Nancy!
Ditto on the NO JUDGE!! Laura, that Blackbird chart you got from Wanda is my current unicorn, a bit jealous, but I will keep hunting. Thanks for a bright spot in my week. Very inspiring and motivational. . . want to stitch all the things! Might have to go back and watch you two from the beginning again, so I can write down all the rules. The clock has excellent timing every week AND I love Laura's endorsement. Can't wait to see you next week.
Am I the only one who keeps a running notebook of samplers recommended by Brenda and Laura? My only consolation is I finished 3 WIPs this month while watching floss tube. 😃
They're not mistakes Laura, they're customizations!
Thanks Shell!!! Great way to look at it...I will try. Sometimes it just drives me nuts though!
Please don’t think of us judging you, think of it as making us all feel better about our own haul! Love you guys!
Hahahahaha! Hang the underwear out on the line! You ladies are a hoot! Love the cuckoo clock - please don’t turn it off. I can’t go to a shop yet, so I love seeing all your haul. Beautiful stitching ladies. Have a good week.
I’m not going to judge you, because I would be calling the kettle black. I have bought so much stuff. I love getting happy mail. It sure helped getting through the last 3 months. We are starting back to work this week but we won’t be open to the public. We have to type 20 thousand titles that have come in over the past 3 months. Our office does all the titles for the state of Nevada. Happy shopping and stitching. Enjoyed your show
Another vote to retain the cuckoo clock! I love spending an hour with all three of you.
Thanks Ladies!! Can you tell me what brand Cinders floss is? It looked beautiful! Thanks, Sue
Love your video, as always. And hello, Brenda, you need to show all the stash. We won’t judge. We want to see it! 😆 Show it off! And I love the cuckoo clock in the background. Laura, I think I need that Summertime Coverlet pattern you showed. It is so pretty and I love single color patterns.
🤗 That cuckoo clock always goes off at the best times!!
Quick question - 36ct linen and higher count - do you always only use 1 strand of floss?
Yes, but our friend Deborah uses 2 strands on 36 count as she likes better coverage. It's all a matter of personal preference
Hi Brenda and Laura. I loved your video today and always enjoy seeing ALL of your goodies you have acquired. Don't be embarrassed! Please don't turn off the cuckoo clock. I think it is hilarious and I have always wanted one. Thank you so much for keeping me company as I am unfortunately in bed today not feeling well. Today is a perfect Sunday even though it is not June. Have a wonderful week.....Take good care.....Crystal.
How do you store your fabric? I saw a note on R&R’s website that you should not store hand dyed fabrics in plastic bags.
Brenda, please share! We would never judge you but we might be a bit jealous, LOL. Being that I have no linen fabric at all I need to start ordering some. I have never stitched on linen and really want to. I have no LNS so I will have to order online. Can you recommend some good places to order. I live in Georgia but will order from any good shop anywhere. I love watching you two!
Happy Stitching!
I love the cuckoo! Somehow it knows just the right time to speak up. I love your sharing your haul. It actually works to my benefit...when I show it to my DH, it makes it seem like I don't buy too much. 😉
Okay! See we are doing a public service!!!! Thanks Rita!!!!!
Your clock makes itself know at the most appropriate times! Your underwear hanging on the line......😂😂😂😂😂. You gals always bring a little laughter. Thank you. Beautiful finish Brenda. Love that Gigi R Laura. Brenda for cryin’ out loud! Show us all the things! No call for embarrassment. Don’t you know I live vicariously through you? Some day I am going to meet you two at Inspired Needle. That is my plan anyway. Take care. Happy stitching.
NO JUDGEMENT ON HAUL!!! That should be a "RULE" Also, the cuckoo clock is HILARIOUS!! I love it
Oh!!!! That is a great law!!!!!!! The No Judgment on Haul law!!! Love it!!! Thanks Rachel!!!
I totally love the cuckoo clock; it always "speaks" at just the right times! LOL Brenda, I would have really loved to see all of your stash as I love that, so maybe you would feel like adding it in a little at a time in future videos? I could watch the two of you all day. I am so glad that you got to go to Inspired Needle; that would be fun, I have not been there but I watch their videos. And Kathy is at Needlework Galleria as the organizer and she usually has a booth too, so fun. Maybe the two of you will think about attending Galleria in September at St. Charles, MO. I loved seeing all of your stitching, stash, and to hear your plans for the week. Hugs to you both and happy stitching......
Thanks Pam!!!!! If things open up maybe we will finally make it to Galleria!!! It often is scheduled between various retreats and we have usually overextended ourselves earlier in the year financially with other retreats so we have not attended. But if there was ever a time to attend......this is it!!!! Hugs!
