I just had an H & H at getting my first ever Flosstube shoutout from the Martin and Lewis of the stitching world! (And don’t try to pretend you’re too young to know what I’m talking about!) I can’t believe you can’t remember my name since I absolutely forgot to say it even once in my video! Y’all make this look so easy, but the minute that video light turns red, it’s terrifying! I want to thank you both for getting me through the darkest times of the Covid shutdown. I know I am not the only person to watch the two of you and feel a connection through our shared love of everything stitchy. Your beautiful stitching, great senses of humor, excellent taste and skill in stitching, your intelligence, your funny and memorable little sayings, and your sincere kindness and warmth are irresistible and inspiring. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Jamie Q, “Professor Stitch.”
Well...we are having an H&H over your lovely comment Jamie! Thank you so very much!!!! Your FT was amazing and we can't wait for the next one!!!!! One more question: Who is Dean and who is Jerry????????????? Hmmmm?
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 well see that’s kind of a hard one to answer. I would not be the least bit surprised to find out. Brenda has a secret stash of flubber somewhere And I’ll bet Laura would be a knockout in a tux! Y’all were both handling those cigs like serious brat-packers! Oh no! I just said “ the P word” to a couple of Chicagoland dames! Don’t shoot me! (I went to middle school and high school up in Elgin so I know how y’all can get!) Humid hugs from Houston!
Wow! The projects, the haul, and all the stitchy goodness in one great episode. Thank you for sharing all your beautiful stitching and enjoy your upcoming retreats. ❤❤
Good to see you both again! Love the Florence piece, Brenda. Inspires me to get back to working on mine (after I finish Mary Norrie). Laura, congrats on all of the finishes! I also appreciate the recommendations of other FlossTubes. My “watch these” list keeps growing. Stitching friends are the best!
Ladies, you make my day, week every time you share a new FlossTube. My heart is happy and my fingers are ready to stitch. What I wouldn’t give for a stitching friendship like you have. And Brenda if I make it from Texas to Chicago I would be so honored to see your beautiful work. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Kay
Great flosstube ladies. I love seeing all your projects, and both your framed FFOs are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing all your stitchy goodness.
Great flosstube! You certainly know how to make 2 hours feel like 20 minutes. I loved everything about it. I can't wait to hear about your next adventures as well.
Love, love, loved your show … and yes I love stitching xxxx this much too … enjoyed seeing your works, finishes, fabrics and new charts to stitch and hauls … y’all are so talented … until next time Happy Stitching 🧵 and enjoy your trip coming up … can’t wait to hear all about it … 😊❤ Dena
What fun! Always a fabulous visit!! I just love both of your framed pieces! It was fun to see your finished pieces Laura. Thanks as always to both of you. Have an amazing time on your stitching adventures! We will look forward to hearing all about them. Happy stitching!
I’m thinking I need to play you at high speed. Your stitching and purchases are so beautiful and enabling, maybe I’ll miss a few and save some $$! Enjoy your retreat! You two have earned them! ❤ ~Michele
Thanks so much ladies. I totally agree about Stitchfolk bags, I was thrilled with I opened my latest box. Laura, I am loving the ladies that you are stitching. Janine
I absolutely love watching you two and your amazing friendship dynamic. You all make me laugh so much and are a highlight to my day anytime I watch. Gotta say I love Brenda's "head in her hands" reaction to Laura not wanting to hang up stuff in her house due to damaging the walls. Absolutely perfect!
You both bring such joy. Thank you for your positivity and encouragement. I stitch on aida because thats my happy place right now. (My jam!) Love seeing your work and the beauty of each finished piece.
Oh Say, this was fantastic... I love you both this much and appreciate you too! I know you're going yo have such a great time at the attic and look forward to all the inspiration when you're back!❤️❤️❤️
Hello Ladies! another jolt of needle joy and floss happiness watching this episode! Please share how we can join the bag club. I'm in love with your new project bag Brenda! What a beautiful thing to have the most famous of stitchers to be with you in your lovely home!! And then to have been to Lori Holt's home Laura!! WOW! You ladies are truly amazing! Stay well, be happy always and just keep stitching! And congratulations, Brenda, on stitching on 56 count linen! I'm trying to get brave and try 40 count. You have inspired me! Have fun at Summer School at the Attic! Can't wait until your next Floss Tube!
Thank you so much Rita!!!!! We are the luckiest stitchers in the world to have the experiences we have had. For the bag club...it is currently all sold out, but sometimes Barrie has extras at the end so go to her website www.stitchfolk.com and sign up for her newsletter and follow her on Instagram. She makes the best bags on Earth!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 thank you!!! I am now on the email list. Have a great time at The Attic Ladies! Can't wait to see what you get and purchase! If you are ever in SW FL, the Naples area, let me know!!
Love you two, great friendship. Never a smile on my face. You both have wonderful good taste in everything you buy. And the finds are so great. Take care and thank you
Thank you for sharing your stitching. I had to stop and look up stuff a few times while watching! Congrats Laura on your beautiful framed finish! Brenda, your stitching always inspires me to keep going on my samplers. Thanks again and have a great time at the Attic!
Splendid in every way. You both are so inspiring and funny and you are so funny together. A true joy to watch your videos. I hope you have a fantastic time at The Attic next week!
So nice to see you Ladies! Enjoyed catching up with all you both have done! The finishes were exquisite! However, your stitching always is! Enjoy your retreat!
Hey girls - fun as always!! Thanks for sharing all the things................ have fun at school - drink lots of water and stay cool. Loved all of your finishes and framed pieces. See you soon.
Oh so happy to have you back! Great flosstube! You two are so entertaining! I throughly enjoyed laughing along with your antics! Glad you’ll be back in 3 weeks! Can’t wait!!! ❤️
OMG!!! What a great time watching this video. Everything is fabulous. Both of your framed pieces are beautiful. Have a wonderful and safe trip to the Attic. Looking forward to seeing you on the 25th. Happy stitching.
You two are my favorite ones to watch! You could make a video every day and I'd watch it! You choose the best patterns to show/share with us, and stitch them! They are all so beautiful! The interactions between you are wonderful! Thank you both, so MUCH, for making these videos! I am ordering Soaring with the Wind from Evertote now that you showed us they have a book with ALL the patterns included! Wow!!! You're the first I've seen to show this book! I've always loved the first two patterns, I did not realize there were more! Wow! I am also ordering linen and the floss! I just can't decide if I should get floss for 1 over 2 OR 2 over 2 to have extra? I will be stitching it on 40 counts, NOT 56! Lol!!!!!! I'm not ready for that, yet! Lol!!! Yes, I think 2 over 2 on the floss and I'll have extra leftover! Yay!
Thank you so much Laurie for your wonderful comments that really lift us up!!!! And yes, you made the total correct decision to get extra floss!!! Roxy Floss Co is sooooooooooooo beautiful and fun to stitch with!!!!! Yay!!!
I love you two! I have sat here with a non-stop smile on my face the entire time! My life is very stressful right now and you have brought me joy and I thank you very much! Have a great time at the Attic!
Thanks for some many ideas for projects. Laura, I finished your Frison Sampler in July. The one that was the fund raiser for Evertotes. I enjoyed working on it.
Great to see you both. Enjoy the Attic. Would love to go there. Safe travels. And as usual, your stitching is beautiful! Listened to all of you and it was great!
Enjoyed the video and the beautiful stitching. You are a joy to watch. Hope you have a great time at retreat. Love that you've got the meals all planned, my kind of people! Have to keep the strength up! happy stitchin'
Brenda and Laura, so happy to see you both again. I, too, cried during and after Celine Dion's performance. Thank you so much for so much inspiration and joy. Glad you are both having a great summer. Have fun at the Attic!
I almost fell off my chair laughing when Brenda said "Stars wars is crap!" The look on her face and saying it with such convection! I hadn't laughed out loud in a long time, but that sure broke the dry spell! So much good stuff you shared - finishes, WIPs, stash and pieces to send out to get finished. I am having a terrible time trying to figure out how to follow Homespun Needlework. I just got signed up on FB so I could take advantage of the beautiful projects you two always show, but I hate FB. So much junk pops up on FB and I can't figure out what buttons to push. I need a 13 year old boy to help me! 🤣😂
I don't think I remember Brenda saying that! I will have to go back and marvel at her gall! FB is a real pip. The key to the Homespun Needlework is to go to the group page on FB so that way you can just see what is in there and follow up on all the exclusives as they become available....or find a 13 year old kid to help!
Another awesome video. Thank you both! I, too, take notes and feel heart palpitations when I see your finishes and haul. 😂 I am counting the days till the Hobby House retreat (my first and only this year). Have fun at Summer School, can't wait to see your haul. ❤
What a jammed pack episode! Loved seeing all of your beautiful finishes…samplers and stash! Thanks for always sharing ! Laura, beautiful finish! Congrats!
I just love the “who cares how many holes are in the wall”! My exact feelings. I change out several walls in our home by season. First Fall, then Christmas, then Winter and lastly my coastal/beachy stuff goes up. We are in our forever home and when we’re gone, someone else can deal with the holes. 😉 Well, actually they do get filled as our son is a handyman and he comes over when it’s time to paint and is always shaking his head about all the holes he has to fill. But, both he and hubby say “whatever makes you happy”.
You ladies are hysterical! Needleworkers extraordinaire, yes, but hysterical. I will always think of Laura whenever I see anything Wizard of Oz from now on 🤣
Always a treat to watch you ladies as you enable us and wow us with all the new goodies…. You’ve inspired me to pull out my 48 count I bought at the Attic in March and if it’s a go, I’ll try the 56 count piece I got~ Have fun at Summer school too 🥰🥰🥰
Faye!!! Let us know how it goes for you with the 48 and the 56!!!!!!!!! You can do it!!!!! You are a genius at finishing so we are sure that you can do this...but only if you want to!
Again you ladies have packed so much into your video that I have to watch again and make sure I didn’t miss anything! Thank you for all you’ve shared! Have a fantastic time at Summer School! ✂️🪡✂️.
Hi ladies! Brenda you are beaming! Laura so sorry you missed it....but you can't help getting sick....love your videos! and your stitching and your haul...etc, etc!!!!
I had no idea that there were other people in this world who felt the same as me about the Wizard of Oz! I vividly remember the first time I saw it as a child, and was absolutely terrified of so many things in that movie-dog thieves, tornadoes, and those damn flying monkeys! Never watched it in its entirety until I was 40-and had that same visceral reaction as I did at 5! So glad to have kindred Wiz of Oz dislikers!
Yes! I agree with everything you said Charlotte!!!! Although I don't think I have ever watched it again....I just see a snippet of it on the TV and I quickly change the channel. It makes my stomach hurt and gives me anxiety immediately! Man, I hate that movie!
It has been too long, and i really enjoyed every second of watching you today! Congratulations on both of your finishes! Laura, hope to see your fully finished items once they are back from framing and finishing! You have so many pretty things and they deserve to be displayed in your home! Brenda, your finished and framed sampler is stunning! I hope that you have a wonderful trip to Summer School at The Attic! This was just a fantastic video! Thank you both!
Such a great video!!! So much beautiful haul to look at! I think of my Clara Ann Easingwood as sort of a "spring" sampler....that's what her colors remind me of. I did not use the "extra" green color on the right bird's tail and just used the green I had used in the other bird. It was too different and I knew it would bother me and it was the only place that green was used! Enjoy your time at the Attic.
Yuo, it's the Grecian Key....I like the different samplers and other pieces you ladies have...they give ne ideas....(that's a good thing, at least for me!) Thank you for broadening my horizons!
Oh hello you two deeliteful ladies!! have been waiting for your wonderful video and the many giggles you bring with you!!! Not to mention the beautiful stitchy projects. Ahhhh FALL! I do love the earth tone colors and the fall-ness in the air.. lovely stitching, Kids!!! Oh Laura, I am so with you on the unfinishes..I love to stitch, but I get overwhelmed with the how-to-finish part of the project.. Great video, Kids!,,,
Thank you so much Marilyn!!! Glad to know you and I think alike....and that we are both thankful for the guidance of Brenda in getting that finishing done!
So excited to see a video from you two!! 8-4-24 is my 76th Birthday and our 12th Anniversary. I feel as if this is just for me!! Celine Dion is breathtaking! There are no words to describe how magnificent she is. My husband Ed & I watched our wedding video last evening. When we lit our unity candle at our wedding an old friend was our soloist and sang "The Prayer" for all of those present. Thank you so much for your time.
I’m always blown away by your videos! I have those heart palpitations when I’m watching! You two are hilarious at the cig smoking! We oldies grew up smoking those candy cigarettes! I also pretended my crayons were cigs! You’d think I’d grow up and smoke, but never touched the real ones!!!
I grew up in an old farmhouse and my sister and I pretended that our crayons what cigarettes also. We pretended we were flaking our ashes through a keyhole in the basement door. Have no idea where we got that I wish I could buy half of the things that you two do and I would still never get it all stitched😂
hI ladies. Fell behind watching - still need to watch latest 2. Loved all the stitching and goodies today. Love both your styles. Sorry about Michigan Brenda but it is a long season.
Oh my gosh!! You are flying to AZ today on my birthday!! You’ll be seen Brendan and Karen about 3 weeks before me (we’re all attending Stitching in the Wild with GaRon Stitchery Sep 12-15th!). Have so much fun!! See you soon with more awesome projects and fantastic haul!
I love seeing your joy of stitching in your flosstube videos. My local LNS is Black Cat Stitchery, and this year I've visited three other stores while traveling: The Cross Stitch Peddler, Cecilia's Samplers, and Colorado Cross Stitcher. It was a great experience seeing the other shops, and so inspiring. Between flosstube and the new stores, my head is spinning cross stitch!
Lovely visit. Brenda happy stitching on 56 count. Beautiful framed samplers ladies,well done. Some inspiration there today, though that happens every time. Thanks. Blessings and happy stitching to you both.
Beautigful framed finishes ans Laura love your finished pieces. OMG I choked on my water when Brenda stated, "Come Again" "Thats how I feel about Star Wars"
I too keep a notepad while watching flosstube. So many of y’all’s flosstubes set my CC off to the ICU😂. Just cracked up over Laura not being a fan of Wizard of Oz. I see why but I still enjoy it. I think Miss Nancy needs to make an appearance. Laura your Mom sounds like a wonderful Mom. Enjoy her, silliness and all. Miss my Mom dearly.
so fun to watch you two! Laura you might consider Command Strips for hanging. they have small ones the could easily be taken off if you sale the house. I am like Brenda….put the holes and fill! who cares! enjoy your work!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 yes I’ll be there!! I let out a yelp watching you two last night. Woke the husband up- told him you were going to summer school. He was like ‘ meh’ so I explained it . Imagine you’re invited to a golf party and you found out Tiger Woods was gonna be there! Then he understood ♥️♥️♥️
