Can I just say your designer parade is the best, so many charts and finishes I haven't seen before. I hope you continue to showcase your favorites. I could not believe it when you cut your fabric Brenda, but I get it. If only I could get the courage up to chuck a project I'm not happy with like you instead of shoving it in the drawer, I think, as Laura said, it would be liberating. Have a great time at The Attic!
Thanks Karen!! We had a great time at the Attic!! Going through withdrawals now that we are back at work! We will definitely continue with the designer parades. It is so much fun!!!!!! Thanks for your kind words!!!
I am so fortunate that I now know about Total Framing, because they are less than 30 minutes with traffic (either location) from where I live in Virginia, yeah!!! On another note, I respect the need to start over if the colors aren’t working for you, however there were some beautiful small sections of that piece that you were throwing away. There are many folks that collect partially completed quilts/needlework pieces and repurpose them. Just a thought for the future, Love watching, but it’s becoming expensive seeing things I must have. 😃😃😃❤️❤️❤️
I'm still catching my breath from watching you cut the White House xstitch. Yowser! That was the first time I've seen someone do that. You are a super hero!
Number 6 is MY lucky number actually.😉 Brenda your needleroll is wonderful! And Winter Tidings as a drum is just AWESOME!! 😵HOLY TOLEDO BRENDA! YOUR GRAND FINALE!!! I almost got a migraine! Laura's face though!!!
You ladies make me smile. Your stash of patterns and fabric has got me thinking that I need to get busy stitch 24 hours a day. It would be amazing if you would show us around your stitching space sometime. Keep Smiling.
Thanks Pam!!!!! We hope to show Brenda's room sometime, but we are still getting used to the technology of everything. I want to stitch 24 hours a day too!!!!!
You girls are just too much! Laura, your face when Brenda cut her linen is priceless! Stacy Nash is one of my top designers too. There’s some you showed that I have to have so my wallet does NOT thank you 😊. Have a wonderful time at the Attic and a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Thanks so much!!! I know...our wallets hate all of us!!! But there are some things we just must have right? I knew Brenda was going to cut that linen, but it was still shocking to watch it happen right before my eyes!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you!!!
Another enjoyable video! Brenda, loved how you liberated that start. You might save those cut off pieces, Maybe a strawberry or pin keep could be made? Both of you have a wonderful time at the retreat.
Just really enjoy your videos. I have been on the hunt for Brick House and finally found it. I am also interested in the SAL starting on the Isabella Fox so perhaps I can join you for that. We will see. Anyway, thankyou so muh for all the information and lovely, lovely pieces that you share.
Another fun, fun video! Thanks for all your encouragement, your “laws”, and for shocking us all with those scissors! I will be at The Attic event too and can’t wait to meet you both!! Debbie Wolfe
I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I live in northwest Indiana so hearing you mention some of the shops I frequent also is so fun. Seeing your designers parades are so fun. Lots of the same things I love.
Per usual another wonderful video. I enjoy seeing what you are working on and your beautiful finishes.I cut up loads of projects err stitching sometimes plus crochet , knitting and sometimes my sewing projects and I do it with pleasure and no guilt. When something doesn't work it cannot be made to look anywhere lovely!
OMG! I almost cried when you cut Hollyberry Farm at Christmas!!! OMG!!! I say that, but I would have probably done the same thing. I love it all ladies! You are so inspirational... I just want to run home and start stitching everything; however, unfortunately I've watched this during my lunch hour so stitching will have to wait until after dinner tonight... You two are on my stitching bucket list of stitchers I'd love to meet someday, along with the Saltbox Stitcher. I would so fan girl if you were all three in the same retreat along with the Blackbird designers. OMG!!! That would definitely be heavenly! Thank you both for the time and effort you put into creating these lovely video's. Happy Stitching! ~ Beth
Thanks so much Beth!!!!!! We would love to all be at the same retreat!!!! It would be a blast. I know what you mean about waiting to get home from work to stitch!!!! I am the same way....Just give me my stitching every night!!! We appreciate your kind words so much!! Happy Stitching!!!
My heart just stopped!!! I’m gasping as u cut ur fabric! That was brave. I understand ur dilemma, and now no guilt and u can move forward! I just love you girls and I loved the Stacy Nash review. Now I want to go out and buy all the Stacy Nash! Thank you 😘
Hi Brenda and Laura. I just finished watching your 6 videos and I love them. Brenda your floss is gorgeous. I cannot imagine the amount of stash the two of you have. And the designer parade WOW. Great job ladies and I look forward to watching your future videos.
I have one of those simplicity pattern bags! I got the 1930 one, i just bought it a few months ago at walmart. I put my threads, scissors, pen, etc, for my current project so i can take things with me. I dont have any project bags so this works great for me.
Well that was an unexpected ending to a video! You both are so liberating. I love how you say to stitch what you feel like stitching and enjoy your hobby, no guilt, Love it. That and all the “laws”. You two are so good together and I am enjoying the designer parades. Have a wonderful time at The Attic. I look forward to hearing all about it and seeing all the lovely things.
Thank you so much Becky!!!!!! Yes, we heartily endorse the stitch what you like and stitch it on whatever you like to stitch it on!!! Let the good times roll! Happy Stitching to you dear!
Great video again, Ladies! Have a great time in Arizona. Please enjoy the sun for all of us stuck here in frigid Chicagoland! Brenda, I can't believe you cut away that partially stitched piece. I have to admit I was cringing! You're a braver soul than I!
Thanks Christine!!!! It was 7 degrees this morning so we are ready to get to AZ....however, we will then be back for the duration of winter! Thank goodness we have stitching to keep ourselves happy!! Happy Stitching!!!
Loving everything!!! I'm coming back to stitching after a 30 year absence and boy things have really changed. I have absolutely nothing, nada, nil to stitch...not even needles and there are so many fabrics and threads I don't know what to buy. I have to find my LNS and visit because I'm too confused. Great video...TFS!
Stacy Nash is one of my favorite designers. So I added to my wish list after watching you and I will take to The Attic when I visit them in December. Only been there once before and threw down some serious bucks. Loved all your show and tell Brenda and those finishes of the drums are heavenly with the velvet. Laura I’m landlocked in PA but I happen to like ships and whales too. Eliza Poole is a need. No longer a want. Have a safe trip and wonderful Thanksgiving! Thank you ladies for sharing your passion of stitching!
Thanks Carol!!! The Attic has a very good supply of Stacy Nash charts!! I just looked through them last weekend! Glad you are going in December. We threw down some serious bucks too (as per usual). Glad to hear that you like the nautical look too!!! Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for leaving such a fun comment!
Thanks for the flosstube this week. I look forward to seeing y’all every Sunday, gives me something to look forward to during this time. Happy stitching!
It just makes my stitching time happier when there's a video from the 2 of you to stitch along to! I loved seeing all the Stacy Nash charts and being able to say, have it, need it, stitched it, starting it....fun times indeed! LOVED that liberating moment at the end when you freed yourself from a wip that wasn't bringing you joy Brenda. Good for you! Love you both and everything you stitch. Have a fantastic time at your retreat!
Great designer choice and of course I had to write them down to buy later. OMG on the scissor cutting, I was holding my breath but then it made sense at the same time! Have fun at the Attic and enjoy the weather. We are in the 20’s here in PA and getting some snow tomorrow.
Thanks Renee!! It is snowing here today and supposed to get Arctic-like tomorrow, so flying to AZ on Wednesday will be ideal! I am right there with you on the OMG about the linen cutting....but you are right...it makes sense in the end!!! Happy Stitching in PA!!!!
Wishing you both an absolutely fabulous time at retreat! I loved the Stacy Nash parade - so many beautiful things! I was cringing when you cut your fabric Brenda but how liberating. With all the choices of things we have to stitch, the pattern, colours and fabric has to sing to us. Thanks again for your fabulous videos and for sharing your passion and inspiration!
Thanks so much Wanda!!!! You hit the nail on the head...with all of the beautiful things out there our projects have to sing to us! Great description!!!
There is nothing I would rather do than spend a Sunday afternoon with you girls! Have fun at the Attic and I will be with you in spirit. Stacy Nash is one of my favorite designers and I think I have more of her designs than she has in her inventory. Don't give up on Christmas at Hollyberry Farms--it is beautiful and one of my favorites.
Wonderful video!! I just loved everything you shared, it may have caused a little internet shopping 🛍🥰!! A couple great laughs , cause we all garden in pumps”” 🤣😂. Of course we do....... lol!! Wishing you a fabulous time at The Attic, I so wish I was attending. Enjoy your time together with special friends in a warm cozy place!! 🧡🦃🧡
Another great video. I watched with my son -home from school on a snow day in Michigan-who is now stitching his first sampler. He was inspired by you two. Thanks for showing all of your beautiful pieces, and I love learning about the different designers.
That is the highest compliment we have ever received Rebecca!!!! Tell your son that he has made us so happy!!!!! You wrote three days ago...is he still liking it??? I sure hope so!!!! Tell us all about it if you can!!! So exciting!
Hello ladies, I enjoyed your video again! . The patterns of Stacy Nash are great. And how nice that you have shown the names of the patterns well. I certainly have more than 20 listed for my wish list. LOL. I look forward to your next video😃
So fun to watch you ladies!!! Both of you have an amazing stash...PLUS your wips and finishes!! Unbelievable!!!! I think I may have had a stroke watching you with those scissors!!!!!
Thank you ladies for such great inspiration I love that your highlighting different designers, and showing your beautiful work and finishes. I’m pretty new to cross stitch and only stitch on Adia I look at your work and think 🤔 I could never stitch that, thank you for showing your works just beautiful.
Thank you so much Lisa!!!! Almost everything we stitch could be stitched on Aida for sure!!! and it would look amazing and beautiful!!! You just stitch whatever you like on whatever you want!!! We fully support that! Happy Stitching!!!
It would be so very interesting if you two, Carol and someone else would do a joint Flosstube from The Attic. Love your videos and want to tell you both that you are two of the busiest enablers on Flosstube. Love you both!
Another great video right down to the finale- very liberating to see. Love the designer parade and what Beautiful finishes and WIPs - Just drool worthy!!!!!! Safe travels and enjoy the Attic . Early Happy Thanksgiving to you both . LInda m
When you took out those scissors and cut your linen I almost died, but I totally understand it. If I'm knitting something and I don't totally love it, I don't care how much is done, I just unravel it and start over in a way that I'll be pleased with the end result. I call it righteous ripping! Enjoy your trip.
I hope you can get to all the places Desiree!!!!!! They are magical!!! Of course, just stitching at home is always pretty magical too!!!! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
I need to take a muscle relaxer because I’m so busy whipping my neck around to see what’s in your stunning room than back again to see your beautiful samplers....then to see what I need to go purchase....😂😂😂😂..you guys brighten my day! Have a wonderful time at the attic....hope to get a glimpse of what it’s all about! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Terri!!!!!! I wanted to show the pin cushion I just received from you, but the lighting was "blowing out" all the white in the linen. I am going to work to get it right for next time because I want to tell everyone about how great you are!!!! Next time, take some Motrin ahead of time okay??? Thanks for taking the time to comment! Hugs!!
Oh my goodness you two are something else. I bet there are a number of us with whip lash watching you cut off that linen and throwing it to the curb. Good job, I wouldn't be able to do that, but you have now given all of us permission to do so if things are not happy. LOL Love your videos and all the pieces you two stitch. Busy, busy, busy. Need more hours in the day. Have a great trip out to Arizona and if you ever get up to Idaho, give me a call. Cheers, Norma in Boise, ID.
Welcome to flosstube. I lost my husband last year and I count you and other flosstubers as my friends and fellow stitchers helping me get through the day. I just purchased the L. Genders 1875 strip sampler you showed.
Thank you Anne. Please accept our sincere sympathy on the loss of your husband. You are going through a tough time and I am glad you can lean on floss tube. I know that I watch everyday and it makes my life richer. You will love stitching L. Genders!!! It turns out so cute too. We live in the suburbs of Chicago. Where do you live? Sending love and a hug to you!!! Happy Stitching!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 Thank you for your reply. I live in sunny, no-seasons southern California and love it. Right now praying for rain though. Our use of water for lawn and plants is limited and it's been quite a dry spell.
Have a great time at the Attic!! Buy all the things!! Please post lots of pictures of all the goodies you receive from Barb and Alma!! Thanks for the Stacy Nash show!! I was having a good laugh because I have quite a bit of what you showed. And some I've never seen and now fee l the need to look for them!🤣🤣 Brenda, I was dying when you cut the house off !! Shhh....I've been known to do the same thing and sometimes I just cut a project up and throw it away....😱 I've mostly done that with dolls....lol Hope you both have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your friends and families!♥️😊
Thanks so much for your comment Laura! We will probably buy all the things....and will be sure to show everything in our next video. Glad that Brenda is not alone when it comes to cutting up a project! We hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving too!!!
Wow you guys are so lucky to be going back to the Attic. Love Stasy Nash so loved that parade. And my floss looks like Laura’s in that pattern of pinkeep all the time
A wonderful flosstube as always..Thanku so much for keeping it real by cutting up your stitching you weren’t happy with..I may have done that myself a time or two as well..🤣🤣I love all your stitching and your stitching stash..I hope you both have a wonderful time at the Attic....and I can’t wait to see your next flosstube..♥️
Thanks so much!!!!!! Yes, we aim to keep it real!!!! And cutting that linen was sure real! Brenda is well known in our stitching group for doing that! I am going to follow her lead on that. Happy Stitching!!
As always I get a jolt of excitement when I see your post! My wallet also gets a jolt ! I bought the Stacy Nash pins needles and scissors just earlier today! The problem with watching you guys is that I want to do it all! Hope you have a great time at the retreat !
Thanks Jean!!! That is the problem isn't it??? We want to stitch it all!!! There are so many beautiful things to stitch from so many wonderful designers!! I guess it is a good problem to have...... That is neat that you just bought the Pins, Needles and Scissors earlier ..... we must be on the same wavelength!
I am a true Stacy Nash fan and have at least half of her patterns. I did finish the Whaling Ship Tray and Pinkeep and the called for Dove linen does not look anything like the picture. It is a gorgeous dark gray/blue. It is so worth the time stitching it and finishing that tray. My only problem is I have trouble displaying it because my cats want to lay in it. That's not good. So I keep it covered up. I bought the "Christmas at Hollyberry Hill" all kitted up at an estate sale, and I am glad you mentioned the walnut color, I appreciate the heads up on that.
I am really enjoying the thought of your cats wanting to lay in that Stacy Nash tray!!!! We both love cats. But I am sure when it is happening in real life that is not something that is cute! I will try to look for some Dove linen so I can see it in person. That was a find at the estate sale!!! Thanks for taking time to comment. We sure appreciate it!
I just binged watched all of your videos. A delight to see "all the the things". Your background is so interesting, I hope you do an up close tour of what is behind you in the video. Happy Thanksgiving 🌻
First thought you where having an earthquake. So pleased it was just the table. Loving your show and tell and now have an extra list for Stacy Nash designs. I would so love to go to Country Sampler. `Christmas at Holly Berry Farm` is now in my stitching rotation,so love this. I did get some stitching done so hope you both have some stitching time too.
Thanks Clare!!!!! That was quite a little moment with the table!! You absolutely need to go to Country Sampler! Do you live far? Glad you are working on Christmas at Holly Berry! It is so amazing!!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 I live far away over the sea`s in New Zealand. It`s quite long international flight with out the other flights needed,so sad to say not in my budget at the moment even though I`d love to do so.
Have a wonderful time at the Attic! Temps will be low 80’s! I now have a list of Stacy Nash charts on my wish list, thank you for enabling!! Just when I tell myself I need to stitch from stash!! I love Stacy’s designs.
Thanks Linda!!!!! We won't know what to do with ourselves in those temperatures! Today it is snowing here. Glad we could add to your wish list!!!! Stitching from stash is a myth, I think. I might try it for a week though......Hugs!
Filmed on my birthday! Thanks for the treat! You girls are so special. You bring joy and laughter and serious genius to us out in the sampler world. You share your work, your opinions, your ideas so openly and freely! I learn something new each time and you know what they say about old dogs learning new tricks😘. Most importantly your friendship and bond warms my heart! How lucky to have each other. We are truly blessed this holiday and throughout the year to have you as friends. Laura, those faces are a joy to watch and Brenda cutting that linen shows others that it’s all about the joy! I’ve done it a few times and never regretted starting again. Enjoy the Attic. I must get there next, Happy holidays,,
Thanks so much for your kind and inspiring words Angel!!! What a sweet comment!!! We are all so lucky to know each other and have stitching as our bond!! You and your sister need to take a trip to The Attic!!! And we will be back at Dyeing to Stitch in April!!!
Another triumph ladies! My heart salutes you but alas my bank account does not! I take so many screen shots that my camera now does face recognition on you both and brings you up with all my family photos! 😋 Love the Marjorie Massey charts...she has a FB site and sells all her patterns through their via PDF if you are finding them hard to come by. I’ve started the Quaker Street one on 46ct - it’s lovely! Keep up the good work both x
Thanks Michelle!! That is hilarious about the face recognition!!!!! Thanks for the tips about the Massey charts!!! Happy Stitching! That must look amazing on 46 count!
OMG Brenda, I about had heart failure when you cut into the sampler. Brave girl! Have fun at retreat you two! I think you can say you are official BBD groupies. :-) Can't wait to see what you come home with!
Ladies you visit was so wonderful, and the Stacey Nash feature was amazing. You two are such wonderful Stitchers. Laura, I think was surprised on how far she had stitched on some of her pieces. It's so great to watch you ladies, really make the day better. How you have fun at the Attic, safe travels, can't wait to see you again.
Thanks so much Linda!!!!!!! I surprised myself when I pulled a few things out of the bags!!! I think I will bring that one drum with me to the attic so I can finish it this week....that was ridiculous! I have two motifs and four letters to finish. Thank you for taking time to comment. It really means a lot to us!!
Another wonderful video girls - but I have to say you about put me in the ground cutting up that much completed stitching!!!! Next time that happens you can send it to me and I will frog it out & return it to you. Holy Cow- all of that work gone. I am so happy for you going to the Attic - because goodness knows you need something to stitch. Have a great time!
Thank you Lynn!!! Yes, as you can see we are in desperate need of a trip to the attic for more stash!!!! LOL! We would never want you to spend time frogging anything for us.....we would much rather have you stitching away!!! But that is an extremely kind offer!!! Hugs!
Of course I ran upstairs during the video to go through my Stacy Nash charts and filled up my virtual cart with more new stuff! Thank you for sharing everything, it was a real treat! Lisa
I want to make needle books up the ying yang!!!!!!! Let's do it!! At least one in 2020!!!! We can pick out one to SAL when we are at DTS in April!!!! Wooohooo!
Love watching your designer parades, what a way to add to our "to-do" lists! I was amazed that you cut off the stitching from the linen, I am sure I would rip out to the point of ruining the linen before giving up, great way to cut to the chase. Have a wonderful retreat.
I can’t say I have ever stitched a Stacy Nash piece but coincidentally just this morning ordered off of Ebay Stacy’s Tribute to Summer sampler!!! I loved seeing your pieces and checked out her Etsy store. I’m sure this won’t be my last project!! Have a wonderful time at The Attic! Can’t wait to see what you have to show us after that!! 💗
That is so exciting! That particular chart from Stacy is gorgeous!!!! She has so many projects that are so great. Makes it hard to choose. Thanks for your lovely comment.
So fun to hear your comments regarding the Attic. My husband and I winter in the area, so Thursdays are my stitching days at the Attic. Would have been fun to see you at the Attic but we have not left Minnesota yet. I just finished watching all of you UA-cam videos. It sounds like you are from NW Indiana or in Illinois near that area. We have visited my brother and sister-in-law many time in the Porter, Indiana area. Happy Stitching! Catch you on #7.
Thanks Becky!!! We are in the suburbs of Chicago. You are so lucky to winter in AZ and go to the attic on Thursdays!! That sounds heavenly. We will be doing it this Thursday!!! Happy Stitching!!!
Brenda and Laura...it was so nice to visit with you...after the great video last time...my paper and pen was handy...oh my...with no LNS have I missed so much...loved the Stacy Nash Parade...loved your joy of stitching...that is music to my ears...have a great trip...best wishes and Happy Thanksgiving to you both❤️❤️
Thanks so much Loretta!!!!!!! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with lots of time to stitch! Sorry you do not have a LNS!!!! Hope you found a good place to order from! If you need any suggestions, just let us know.
Ladies keep up the good work. You 2 are like lucy and ethel!!! Laughter doeth good like a medicine and you are so good for me. I am so sad we have no needlework stores close.
Rebecca, try Kitten Stitcher on line. Her website is really great and she ships really fast. Highly recommend. Or if you know what you want you can always call, Dyeing to Stitch (Ann) or Inspired Needle (Cathy).....both are really great brick and mortar shops!!!

I love spending time with you two!! Have to admit that I even rewatch episodes just to have you in my sewing room...I just want to do everything you do!! I would really appreciate seeing what you take on a retreat..your travel supplies and how you set up your table:) Noticed the little quilt:)🥰..it’s all about being surrounded by the “cuteness!” Right? Would be a help to see how you both set up your stitch’n chair:)
Thanks Gigi!!!!! I will make a note to talk about these issues in upcoming videos!!! Great ideas!!!! Yes, one needs to be surrounded by cuteness! Thank you for leaving such a kind and fun comment!
Hello Ladies - loved catcing up with you! I did a thing - thanks to your inspiration - I did a sampler wilst I was away last week visiting my Mom and I love it! It is only small.
Hey, you two! Great video! Absolutely love your enthusiasm and your projects are swoon worthy. Have a great trip to the Attic! Can’t wait to see your haul!
Loved seeing the Christmas projects. I slowed the video speed down to .5 so I could catch the linen colors and chart names. That was fun! Jotted down a few titles that I would not have seen so thank you for that. I've also discarded partially stitched pieces and they make great snippets for little heart or square ornaments. Have fun and Happy Thanksgiving to you both!
Thanks Marlene!!!!! I bet that was funny slowed down....we try to remember to mention everything about chart name, linen, etc., but if we ever forget and there is something you need to know about, just let us know. We are happy to help when we can!! That snippet idea is brilliant! Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving to you!!
Great video. Love Stacy Nash charts. Look forward to seeing all your treasues from Blackbird retreat. Hope you will do video with their charts....the cutting of linen still has me in shock!!
Love you gals. Had so much fun visiting with you again. 😀. You have such Awesome projects. Love everything in your background too. 😍😍 Hope you have a great retreat. Can't wait to hear all about it.
Oh My God! You ladies are such enablers. I've never stitched a Stacy Nash before, my tastes aren't that primitive yet! 9Eyeroll) But I've paused the video several times and taken notes. I've also ordered my first Hands Across the Sea Samplers - Elizabeth Weston one, and because no chart should travel alone Miss Mary Ann Bournes too jumped in with her, along with A Saviour's Praise! Now I'm waiting for video #7 so you can tell me what else I need to buy!
That is so exciting Myna!!!!! You picked some gorgeous samplers!!!!!!!!! No need for you to change your tastes to more primitive stuff...you just keep stitching whatever makes you happy!!!! Plus, you now have three huge samplers to keep you busy for the next three years!!!! Happy Stitching!!!
You will have to quit working in order to read all the great comments! All of them well deserved too. Your videos are very inspiring, funny, and a little shocking when the scissors came out. Keep doing these wonderful videos, and try a short one at the Attic with Carol. It would be so fun to see the three of you together. Love your smiling faces. 🥰❤️❤️❤️
Loved your video. if your serious about throwing away that stitching I volunteer to rescue it out of the trash. i would use it for a back on some of my bowl fillers that i finish myself. Love purple!!!
Thanks Lynn!! Unfortunately, I believe that piece of linen has been dispatched to the trash already. Brenda does not mess around when she is serious about cutting her losses. Next time we will save it for you!!!
Oh, how I look forward to your videos. ❤️ They have everything; beauty (both of your darling faces), love ( for designers, linen, fibers, samplers) stories of stitchy friendship, young girls and a few boys stitching samplers 100’s of years ago and . . . NOW DRAMA when Brenda grabs the large purple gripped scissors and Laura’s eyes get as round as saucers 😳 while Brenda proceeds to cut ✂️ her Christmas at Hollyhock Farm in half!!! 😂🤣🤗that was the most liberating and happy thing for me to see. I think my eyes looked just like Laura’s but when it was done and Brenda was still smiling that beautiful smile of hers I felt how a load could be lifted. That our stitching should be fun for the most part. It was a good reminder. Thank you! I do have one question since you chose Stacy Nash and I do love her designs also. But, often she directs you to stitch on a pretty bland linen and then tea or coffee dye it yourself or to use those dying crystals on your already stitched piece? Do you do that? Or do you chose a more vintage dyed linen to begin with? Thanks again for your wonderful parade of Stacy Nash patterns and stitched pieces. So much fun!
Thank you so much for the sweet and kind words Laurel! I've only dyed one piece after I've stitched it and it was pretty small so I wasn't too worried about it. I'm too chicken to do it on a big project though LOL! I would choose a piece of linen that is pretty distressed so I wouldn't have to dye it after all the stitching is complete.
Awesome video!!! Love all the Stacy Nash charts and seeing the stitched pieces!!! Beautiful stitching ladies!!! Safe travels to Az, have a great time at the Attic and Happy Thanksgiving to you both and your families. Lynn
Very enjoyable video (again)! Wishing you both a fabulous time at your Blackbird Designs Retreat, and you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving. Would love pics from the retreat, but totally understand if it gets too busy. Can't wait to see your stash next time! So fun!!
Thanks Elizabeth!!!! We will try to get some pics up from the retreat....but we do tend to get nutty when we are at the Attic! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!!
Makes my whole day watching your video! You both are as cute as you can be and so inspiring! Your stash and projects truly leave me speechless! Have a great time on your trip - I wish I was going with you! Thank you for all the inspiration!!
Brenda! I can’t believe you did that! ✂️ 😮 You have the best frames for your pieces!
Can I just say your designer parade is the best, so many charts and finishes I haven't seen before. I hope you continue to showcase your favorites. I could not believe it when you cut your fabric Brenda, but I get it. If only I could get the courage up to chuck a project I'm not happy with like you instead of shoving it in the drawer, I think, as Laura said, it would be liberating. Have a great time at The Attic!
Thanks Karen!! We had a great time at the Attic!! Going through withdrawals now that we are back at work! We will definitely continue with the designer parades. It is so much fun!!!!!! Thanks for your kind words!!!
You two together are a hoot keep it up so fun to watch and such good hints for stitchers!!!!!😄
I am so fortunate that I now know about Total Framing, because they are less than 30 minutes with traffic (either location) from where I live in Virginia, yeah!!! On another note, I respect the need to start over if the colors aren’t working for you, however there were some beautiful small sections of that piece that you were throwing away. There are many folks that collect partially completed quilts/needlework pieces and repurpose them. Just a thought for the future, Love watching, but it’s becoming expensive seeing things I must have. 😃😃😃❤️❤️❤️
I'm still catching my breath from watching you cut the White House xstitch. Yowser! That was the first time I've seen someone do that. You are a super hero!
Number 6 is MY lucky number actually.😉 Brenda your needleroll is wonderful! And Winter Tidings as a drum is just AWESOME!! 😵HOLY TOLEDO BRENDA! YOUR GRAND FINALE!!! I almost got a migraine! Laura's face though!!!
Thanks Vickie!!!!! Yes, that was a wild moment and you saw the shock on my face!!
What a treasure trove. I couldn’t believe it when I saw you with the scissors. My oh my 😳❤️❤️❤️
You two are the best!!!! Beautiful work!!!! And now thanks to you my cart is full of Stacy Nash!!!! 💗💗💗
Thanks Tricia!!!! I ordered some more too!!!
You ladies make me smile. Your stash of patterns and fabric has got me thinking that I need to get busy stitch 24 hours a day. It would be amazing if you would show us around your stitching space sometime. Keep Smiling.
Thanks Pam!!!!! We hope to show Brenda's room sometime, but we are still getting used to the technology of everything. I want to stitch 24 hours a day too!!!!!
You girls are just too much! Laura, your face when Brenda cut her linen is priceless! Stacy Nash is one of my top designers too. There’s some you showed that I have to have so my wallet does NOT thank you 😊. Have a wonderful time at the Attic and a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Thanks so much!!! I know...our wallets hate all of us!!! But there are some things we just must have right? I knew Brenda was going to cut that linen, but it was still shocking to watch it happen right before my eyes!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you!!!
Another enjoyable video! Brenda, loved how you liberated that start. You might save those cut off pieces, Maybe a strawberry or pin keep could be made? Both of you have a wonderful time at the retreat.
That's a good idea Joy! I have another project in mind to cut up and will save the pieces for your creativity:)
Just really enjoy your videos. I have been on the hunt for Brick House and finally found it. I am also interested in the SAL starting on the Isabella Fox so perhaps I can join you for that. We will see. Anyway, thankyou so muh for all the information and lovely, lovely pieces that you share.
Another fun, fun video! Thanks for all your encouragement, your “laws”, and for shocking us all with those scissors! I will be at The Attic event too and can’t wait to meet you both!! Debbie Wolfe
Thanks Debbie!!!! Can't wait...we leave tomorrow and are definitely in the mood to be at The Attic!!!!! See you there!!!!!
I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I live in northwest Indiana so hearing you mention some of the shops I frequent also is so fun. Seeing your designers parades are so fun. Lots of the same things I love.
Per usual another wonderful video. I enjoy seeing what you are working on and your beautiful finishes.I cut up loads of projects err stitching sometimes plus crochet , knitting and sometimes my sewing projects and I do it with pleasure and no guilt. When something doesn't work it cannot be made to look anywhere lovely!
Glad you are with us on the cutting up stance May!!!!! Thanks for letting us know!!!
OMG! I almost cried when you cut Hollyberry Farm at Christmas!!! OMG!!! I say that, but I would have probably done the same thing. I love it all ladies! You are so inspirational... I just want to run home and start stitching everything; however, unfortunately I've watched this during my lunch hour so stitching will have to wait until after dinner tonight... You two are on my stitching bucket list of stitchers I'd love to meet someday, along with the Saltbox Stitcher. I would so fan girl if you were all three in the same retreat along with the Blackbird designers. OMG!!! That would definitely be heavenly! Thank you both for the time and effort you put into creating these lovely video's. Happy Stitching! ~ Beth
Thanks so much Beth!!!!!! We would love to all be at the same retreat!!!! It would be a blast. I know what you mean about waiting to get home from work to stitch!!!! I am the same way....Just give me my stitching every night!!! We appreciate your kind words so much!! Happy Stitching!!!
My heart just stopped!!! I’m gasping as u cut ur fabric! That was brave. I understand ur dilemma, and now no guilt and u can move forward! I just love you girls and I loved the Stacy Nash review. Now I want to go out and buy all the Stacy Nash! Thank you 😘
Thanks so much Cheryl!!!! Yes, it was very liberating! Glad you like seeing the Stacy Nash charts!!! They are so wonderful!!!
Hi Brenda and Laura. I just finished watching your 6 videos and I love them. Brenda your floss is gorgeous. I cannot imagine the amount of stash the two of you have. And the designer parade WOW. Great job ladies and I look forward to watching your future videos.
Thanks so much Deb!!!!! We sure appreciate your watching the videos and your kind comments!!!!!
I have one of those simplicity pattern bags! I got the 1930 one, i just bought it a few months ago at walmart. I put my threads, scissors, pen, etc, for my current project so i can take things with me. I dont have any project bags so this works great for me.
Great video! I have quite a list of Stacy Nash charts to get now!! Thanks for the inspiration and the enabling!
Thanks Dale!!!!! Glad to be of service!!!
Well that was an unexpected ending to a video! You both are so liberating. I love how you say to stitch what you feel like stitching and enjoy your hobby, no guilt, Love it. That and all the “laws”. You two are so good together and I am enjoying the designer parades. Have a wonderful time at The Attic. I look forward to hearing all about it and seeing all the lovely things.
Thank you so much Becky!!!!!! Yes, we heartily endorse the stitch what you like and stitch it on whatever you like to stitch it on!!! Let the good times roll! Happy Stitching to you dear!
Great video again, Ladies! Have a great time in Arizona. Please enjoy the sun for all of us stuck here in frigid Chicagoland! Brenda, I can't believe you cut away that partially stitched piece. I have to admit I was cringing! You're a braver soul than I!
Thanks Christine!!!! It was 7 degrees this morning so we are ready to get to AZ....however, we will then be back for the duration of winter! Thank goodness we have stitching to keep ourselves happy!! Happy Stitching!!!
Loving everything!!! I'm coming back to stitching after a 30 year absence and boy things have really changed. I have absolutely nothing, nada, nil to stitch...not even needles and there are so many fabrics and threads I don't know what to buy. I have to find my LNS and visit because I'm too confused. Great video...TFS!
Love you too!! I saw your video come up and of course I have to watch right away.....love all the Stacy Nash!! Wonderful parade!❤️👏🏻
Thanks so much!!!!!! Hugs!!!
Stacy Nash is one of my favorite designers. So I added to my wish list after watching you and I will take to The Attic when I visit them in December. Only been there once before and threw down some serious bucks. Loved all your show and tell Brenda and those finishes of the drums are heavenly with the velvet. Laura I’m landlocked in PA but I happen to like ships and whales too. Eliza Poole is a need. No longer a want. Have a safe trip and wonderful Thanksgiving! Thank you ladies for sharing your passion of stitching!
Thanks Carol!!! The Attic has a very good supply of Stacy Nash charts!! I just looked through them last weekend! Glad you are going in December. We threw down some serious bucks too (as per usual). Glad to hear that you like the nautical look too!!! Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for leaving such a fun comment!
Thanks for the flosstube this week. I look forward to seeing y’all every Sunday, gives me something to look forward to during this time. Happy stitching!
It just makes my stitching time happier when there's a video from the 2 of you to stitch along to! I loved seeing all the Stacy Nash charts and being able to say, have it, need it, stitched it, starting it....fun times indeed! LOVED that liberating moment at the end when you freed yourself from a wip that wasn't bringing you joy Brenda. Good for you! Love you both and everything you stitch. Have a fantastic time at your retreat!
Thanks so much for your very sweet comment Frankie!!!!! Hugs!
Great designer choice and of course I had to write them down to buy later. OMG on the scissor cutting, I was holding my breath but then it made sense at the same time! Have fun at the Attic and enjoy the weather. We are in the 20’s here in PA and getting some snow tomorrow.
Thanks Renee!! It is snowing here today and supposed to get Arctic-like tomorrow, so flying to AZ on Wednesday will be ideal! I am right there with you on the OMG about the linen cutting....but you are right...it makes sense in the end!!! Happy Stitching in PA!!!!
Wishing you both an absolutely fabulous time at retreat! I loved the Stacy Nash parade - so many beautiful things! I was cringing when you cut your fabric Brenda but how liberating. With all the choices of things we have to stitch, the pattern, colours and fabric has to sing to us. Thanks again for your fabulous videos and for sharing your passion and inspiration!
Thanks so much Wanda!!!! You hit the nail on the head...with all of the beautiful things out there our projects have to sing to us! Great description!!!
There is nothing I would rather do than spend a Sunday afternoon with you girls! Have fun at the Attic and I will be with you in spirit. Stacy Nash is one of my favorite designers and I think I have more of her designs than she has in her inventory. Don't give up on Christmas at Hollyberry Farms--it is beautiful and one of my favorites.
Thanks so much Betty!!!!! Wish we could bring everyone with us to the Attic! Wouldn't that be a party! Happy Stitching!
Wonderful video!! I just loved everything you shared, it may have caused a little internet shopping 🛍🥰!! A couple great laughs , cause we all garden in pumps”” 🤣😂. Of course we do....... lol!! Wishing you a fabulous time at The Attic, I so wish I was attending. Enjoy your time together with special friends in a warm cozy place!! 🧡🦃🧡
Thanks so much Carrie!!!!!! You know it about those pumps!!!! Wish you were going to the attic too!!!!
Another great video. I watched with my son -home from school on a snow day in Michigan-who is now stitching his first sampler. He was inspired by you two. Thanks for showing all of your beautiful pieces, and I love learning about the different designers.
That is the highest compliment we have ever received Rebecca!!!! Tell your son that he has made us so happy!!!!! You wrote three days ago...is he still liking it??? I sure hope so!!!! Tell us all about it if you can!!! So exciting!
Hello ladies, I enjoyed your video again! . The patterns of Stacy Nash are great. And how nice that you have shown the names of the patterns well. I certainly have more than 20 listed for my wish list. LOL. I look forward to your next video😃
Thanks so much Heleen!!!! So glad that your wish list is full of Stacy Nash goodness!!!!!
So inspired by all your lovely projects stitched or in the pipeline. Have a great time at your stitching retreat. Best wishes.
Thanks so much Rachel!!!
So fun to watch you ladies!!! Both of you have an amazing stash...PLUS your wips and finishes!! Unbelievable!!!! I think I may have had a stroke watching you with those scissors!!!!!
Thanks so much Sara!!!!!! I know...that scissor moment was sure dramatic!!!
Thank you ladies for such great inspiration I love that your highlighting different designers, and showing your beautiful work and finishes. I’m pretty new to cross stitch and only stitch on Adia I look at your work and think 🤔 I could never stitch that, thank you for showing your works just beautiful.
Thank you so much Lisa!!!! Almost everything we stitch could be stitched on Aida for sure!!! and it would look amazing and beautiful!!! You just stitch whatever you like on whatever you want!!! We fully support that! Happy Stitching!!!
Thank you I really appreciate your replying, have a great day
It would be so very interesting if you two, Carol and someone else would do a joint Flosstube from The Attic. Love your videos and want to tell you both that you are two of the busiest enablers on Flosstube. Love you both!
That is a brilliant idea! But I want all of you ladies to have a wonderful time first and then think about your adoring audience.
I hope we can!!!! Thanks!
@@roseannkowitz2652 You are so sweet!!!
Another great video right down to the finale- very liberating to see. Love the designer parade and what Beautiful finishes and WIPs - Just drool worthy!!!!!! Safe travels and enjoy the Attic . Early Happy Thanksgiving to you both . LInda m
Thanks so much Linda!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving and get lots of stitching time!!!
When you took out those scissors and cut your linen I almost died, but I totally understand it. If I'm knitting something and I don't totally love it, I don't care how much is done, I just unravel it and start over in a way that I'll be pleased with the end result. I call it righteous ripping! Enjoy your trip.
Righteous ripping!! Love it!! We are back now and had a great time! Thanks for leaving a comment!!
Great video! Really enjoy all the things you share. I need to visit all of the places you talk about! Thanks!
I hope you can get to all the places Desiree!!!!!! They are magical!!! Of course, just stitching at home is always pretty magical too!!!! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
I need to take a muscle relaxer because I’m so busy whipping my neck around to see what’s in your stunning room than back again to see your beautiful samplers....then to see what I need to go purchase....😂😂😂😂..you guys brighten my day! Have a wonderful time at the attic....hope to get a glimpse of what it’s all about! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Terri!!!!!! I wanted to show the pin cushion I just received from you, but the lighting was "blowing out" all the white in the linen. I am going to work to get it right for next time because I want to tell everyone about how great you are!!!! Next time, take some Motrin ahead of time okay??? Thanks for taking the time to comment! Hugs!!
Oh my goodness you two are something else. I bet there are a number of us with whip lash watching you cut off that linen and throwing it to the curb. Good job, I wouldn't be able to do that, but you have now given all of us permission to do so if things are not happy. LOL Love your videos and all the pieces you two stitch. Busy, busy, busy. Need more hours in the day. Have a great trip out to Arizona and if you ever get up to Idaho, give me a call. Cheers, Norma in Boise, ID.
Thanks Norma!!!!!!!! We definitely need more stitching time for sure!!!! We could then come to Boise just to visit you!!! Happy Stitching!!!
You two are such a HOOT!!!! I look forward to seeing your video, your haul and your finishes!!!
Thanks so much!!!
❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for your wonderful company, stitches and enablings!
Thank you Judy for letting us know that you watched!!! and thank you for your kind comment!
Another great video - I say that every week! Enjoy your retreat!
Thanks so much Kay!!! That is so nice of you!!!
Welcome to flosstube. I lost my husband last year and I count you and other flosstubers as my friends and fellow stitchers helping me get through the day. I just purchased the L. Genders 1875 strip sampler you showed.
Thank you Anne. Please accept our sincere sympathy on the loss of your husband. You are going through a tough time and I am glad you can lean on floss tube. I know that I watch everyday and it makes my life richer. You will love stitching L. Genders!!! It turns out so cute too. We live in the suburbs of Chicago. Where do you live? Sending love and a hug to you!!! Happy Stitching!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 Thank you for your reply. I live in sunny, no-seasons southern California and love it. Right now praying for rain though. Our use of water for lawn and plants is limited and it's been quite a dry spell.
Great video.
Love your designer feature.
You two are enablers!!!!
Marilyn
Thanks so much Marilyn!!!
Have a great time at the Attic!! Buy all the things!! Please post lots of pictures of all the goodies you receive from Barb and Alma!!
Thanks for the Stacy Nash show!! I was having a good laugh because I have quite a bit of what you showed. And some I've never seen and now fee
l the need to look for them!🤣🤣 Brenda, I was dying when you cut the house off !! Shhh....I've been known to do the same thing and sometimes I just cut a project up and throw it away....😱 I've mostly done that with dolls....lol
Hope you both have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your friends and families!♥️😊
Thanks so much for your comment Laura! We will probably buy all the things....and will be sure to show everything in our next video. Glad that Brenda is not alone when it comes to cutting up a project! We hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving too!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 😊♥️
Laura, you just cracked me up when you snuck in your can of Tab while Brenda was showing her new purchases!!! 😂😂😂
Hah! I entertained myself with that one too!!! Thanks Meline!
You two are wonderful! Happy stitching!
Thanks so much Nancy!!!
Such fun to watch you two! Beautiful pieces as always. Enjoy the Attic. I hope to get there some time soon.
Thanks Melissa!! I hope you can get there soon too...it is heaven on earth!
Wow you guys are so lucky to be going back to the Attic. Love Stasy Nash so loved that parade. And my floss looks like Laura’s in that pattern of pinkeep all the time
Thanks Kathleen!!!!! We need to get our threads straightened out don't we??
A wonderful flosstube as always..Thanku so much for keeping it real by cutting up your stitching you weren’t happy with..I may have done that myself a time or two as well..🤣🤣I love all your stitching and your stitching stash..I hope you both have a wonderful time at the Attic....and I can’t wait to see your next flosstube..♥️
Thanks so much!!!!!! Yes, we aim to keep it real!!!! And cutting that linen was sure real! Brenda is well known in our stitching group for doing that! I am going to follow her lead on that. Happy Stitching!!
As always I get a jolt of excitement when I see your post! My wallet also gets a jolt ! I bought the Stacy Nash pins needles and scissors just earlier today! The problem with watching you guys is that I want to do it all! Hope you have a great time at the retreat !
Thanks Jean!!! That is the problem isn't it??? We want to stitch it all!!! There are so many beautiful things to stitch from so many wonderful designers!! I guess it is a good problem to have...... That is neat that you just bought the Pins, Needles and Scissors earlier ..... we must be on the same wavelength!
I am a true Stacy Nash fan and have at least half of her patterns. I did finish the Whaling Ship Tray and Pinkeep and the called for Dove linen does not look anything like the picture. It is a gorgeous dark gray/blue. It is so worth the time stitching it and finishing that tray. My only problem is I have trouble displaying it because my cats want to lay in it. That's not good. So I keep it covered up. I bought the "Christmas at Hollyberry Hill" all kitted up at an estate sale, and I am glad you mentioned the walnut color, I appreciate the heads up on that.
I am really enjoying the thought of your cats wanting to lay in that Stacy Nash tray!!!! We both love cats. But I am sure when it is happening in real life that is not something that is cute! I will try to look for some Dove linen so I can see it in person. That was a find at the estate sale!!! Thanks for taking time to comment. We sure appreciate it!
I just binged watched all of your videos. A delight to see "all the the things". Your background is so interesting, I hope you do an up close tour of what is behind you in the video. Happy Thanksgiving 🌻
First thought you where having an earthquake. So pleased it was just the table. Loving your show and tell and now have an extra list for Stacy Nash designs. I would so love to go to Country Sampler. `Christmas at Holly Berry Farm` is now in my stitching rotation,so love this. I did get some stitching done so hope you both have some stitching time too.
Thanks Clare!!!!! That was quite a little moment with the table!! You absolutely need to go to Country Sampler! Do you live far? Glad you are working on Christmas at Holly Berry! It is so amazing!!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 I live far away over the sea`s in New Zealand. It`s quite long international flight with out the other flights needed,so sad to say not in my budget at the moment even though I`d love to do so.
Have a wonderful time at the Attic! Temps will be low 80’s! I now have a list of Stacy Nash charts on my wish list, thank you for enabling!! Just when I tell myself I need to stitch from stash!! I love Stacy’s designs.
Thanks Linda!!!!! We won't know what to do with ourselves in those temperatures! Today it is snowing here. Glad we could add to your wish list!!!! Stitching from stash is a myth, I think. I might try it for a week though......Hugs!
Filmed on my birthday! Thanks for the treat! You girls are so special. You bring joy and laughter and serious genius to us out in the sampler world. You share your work, your opinions, your ideas so openly and freely! I learn something new each time and you know what they say about old dogs learning new tricks😘. Most importantly your friendship and bond warms my heart! How lucky to have each other. We are truly blessed this holiday and throughout the year to have you as friends. Laura, those faces are a joy to watch and Brenda cutting that linen shows others that it’s all about the joy! I’ve done it a few times and never regretted starting again. Enjoy the Attic. I must get there next, Happy holidays,,
Thanks so much for your kind and inspiring words Angel!!! What a sweet comment!!! We are all so lucky to know each other and have stitching as our bond!! You and your sister need to take a trip to The Attic!!! And we will be back at Dyeing to Stitch in April!!!
Another triumph ladies! My heart salutes you but alas my bank account does not! I take so many screen shots that my camera now does face recognition on you both and brings you up with all my family photos! 😋 Love the Marjorie Massey charts...she has a FB site and sells all her patterns through their via PDF if you are finding them hard to come by. I’ve started the Quaker Street one on 46ct - it’s lovely! Keep up the good work both x
Thanks Michelle!! That is hilarious about the face recognition!!!!! Thanks for the tips about the Massey charts!!! Happy Stitching! That must look amazing on 46 count!
I really enjoy seeing all of your stitching. So much eye candy!!! Safe travels, enjoy The Attic and Pam-a-Palooza.
Thanks so much Jeanna!!!!!!!
OMG Brenda, I about had heart failure when you cut into the sampler. Brave girl! Have fun at retreat you two! I think you can say you are official BBD groupies. :-) Can't wait to see what you come home with!
Ladies you visit was so wonderful, and the Stacey Nash feature was amazing. You two are such wonderful Stitchers. Laura, I think was surprised on how far she had stitched on some of her pieces. It's so great to watch you ladies, really make the day better.
How you have fun at the Attic, safe travels, can't wait to see you again.
Thanks so much Linda!!!!!!! I surprised myself when I pulled a few things out of the bags!!! I think I will bring that one drum with me to the attic so I can finish it this week....that was ridiculous! I have two motifs and four letters to finish. Thank you for taking time to comment. It really means a lot to us!!
Another wonderful video girls - but I have to say you about put me in the ground cutting up that much completed stitching!!!! Next time that happens you can send it to me and I will frog it out & return it to you. Holy Cow- all of that work gone. I am so happy for you going to the Attic - because goodness knows you need something to stitch. Have a great time!
Thank you Lynn!!! Yes, as you can see we are in desperate need of a trip to the attic for more stash!!!! LOL! We would never want you to spend time frogging anything for us.....we would much rather have you stitching away!!! But that is an extremely kind offer!!! Hugs!
Of course I ran upstairs during the video to go through my Stacy Nash charts and filled up my virtual cart with more new stuff! Thank you for sharing everything, it was a real treat! Lisa
Isn't it fun when you are called to go to your stash and figure out what you have??? Love that!!!! Thanks for leaving such a nice comment!
You’ll are killing me again.... now I want all the Stacy Nash. I want to make all the rolls and needle books. ❤️
I want to make needle books up the ying yang!!!!!!! Let's do it!! At least one in 2020!!!! We can pick out one to SAL when we are at DTS in April!!!! Wooohooo!
Brenda and the Serial Starter I LOVE this idea! It’s a plan. I can’t wait!!
Love watching your designer parades, what a way to add to our "to-do" lists! I was amazed that you cut off the stitching from the linen, I am sure I would rip out to the point of ruining the linen before giving up, great way to cut to the chase. Have a wonderful retreat.
Thanks so much Angel!! Yes, we can really increase our to do lists by looking through each other's charts! That's for sure!!! Happy Stitching!
Priceless as usual! Have a Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for sharing.
Thanks Lisa!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you!!!
I can’t say I have ever stitched a Stacy Nash piece but coincidentally just this morning ordered off of Ebay Stacy’s Tribute to Summer sampler!!! I loved seeing your pieces and checked out her Etsy store. I’m sure this won’t be my last project!! Have a wonderful time at The Attic! Can’t wait to see what you have to show us after that!! 💗
That is so exciting! That particular chart from Stacy is gorgeous!!!! She has so many projects that are so great. Makes it hard to choose. Thanks for your lovely comment.
You guys are awesome! Your work is just beautiful! Thanks for sharing!💕
Thanks so much Kim!!!!
Thanks so much for the info. Have fun on your trip with lots of giggles with the girls!
Thanks so much Pat!!!
So many amazing things!! I need to watch a second time and write things down this time!! I love it all! :)
Now you know how we feel when we watch your videos!! We are always hyperventilating over your beautiful samplers!!! Thanks Nicole!!!
So fun to hear your comments regarding the Attic. My husband and I winter in the area, so Thursdays are my stitching days at the Attic. Would have been fun to see you at the Attic but we have not left Minnesota yet.
I just finished watching all of you UA-cam videos. It sounds like you are from NW Indiana or in Illinois near that area. We have visited my brother and sister-in-law many time in the Porter, Indiana area.
Happy Stitching! Catch you on #7.
Thanks Becky!!! We are in the suburbs of Chicago. You are so lucky to winter in AZ and go to the attic on Thursdays!! That sounds heavenly. We will be doing it this Thursday!!! Happy Stitching!!!
I have now come prepared for watching your videos... A pen and notepad! Love how you showcase a designer! Safe travels to the attic! Love you ladies ❤
Thanks so much Kristi!!!!! We are home from the Attic now and in withdrawal!!!! Thanks for your kind words!!
Brenda and Laura...it was so nice to visit with you...after the great video last time...my paper and pen was handy...oh my...with no LNS have I missed so much...loved the Stacy Nash Parade...loved your joy of stitching...that is music to my ears...have a great trip...best wishes and Happy Thanksgiving to you both❤️❤️
Thanks so much Loretta!!!!!!! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with lots of time to stitch! Sorry you do not have a LNS!!!! Hope you found a good place to order from! If you need any suggestions, just let us know.
Thank you and if there is anything missing in my notes, it is good that I can contact you...best wishes❤️
Time for me to take my scissors to a couple of my wips and start over! Thanks for the inspiration! Love it 💕 !
Yes!!!! Liberate yourself!!! It is very freeing!!! Thanks Libby!
Ladies keep up the good work. You 2 are like lucy and ethel!!! Laughter doeth good like a medicine and you are so good for me. I am so sad we have no needlework stores close.
Rebecca, try Kitten Stitcher on line. Her website is really great and she ships really fast. Highly recommend. Or if you know what you want you can always call, Dyeing to Stitch (Ann) or Inspired Needle (Cathy).....both are really great brick and mortar shops!!!

I’m so glad I found your Flosstube channel. You ladies are awesome and your stitching is beautiful!!
Thank you so much Melanie!!!!! We sure appreciate your kind words! Happy Stitching!!!
I have been enjoying your videos. I never saw any of Stacey’s patterns so I will have to look for them. Have a great trip.
Thanks Kathy!! Glad we could turn you on to Stacy's charts! They are A plus all the way!
I love listening to you both. So much fun.
Thanks for your very kind comment Marjo!!!
I love spending time with you two!!
Have to admit that I even rewatch episodes just to have you in my sewing room...I just want to do everything you do!! I would really appreciate seeing what you take on a retreat..your travel supplies and how you set up your table:) Noticed the little quilt:)🥰..it’s all about being surrounded by the “cuteness!” Right? Would be a help to see how you both set up your stitch’n chair:)
Thanks Gigi!!!!! I will make a note to talk about these issues in upcoming videos!!! Great ideas!!!! Yes, one needs to be surrounded by cuteness! Thank you for leaving such a kind and fun comment!
Enjoyed spending time with you ladies. Hope you had a fabulous retreat!!
Hello Ladies - loved catcing up with you! I did a thing - thanks to your inspiration - I did a sampler wilst I was away last week visiting my Mom and I love it! It is only small.
That is so exciting Tammy!!!!! What sampler did you stitch? Hope that you want to stitch many more!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 It is called Woodland Sampler and it was in the Dec 17 Just Cross Stitch magazine
I just found you ladies and binged watched all six episodes today😍😍. I’m in awe of everything you do and can’t wait to see your next episode!!!
Thank you so much!!!!!! That is so nice of you!!!! We should be back the Sunday after Thanksgiving!
Another great video. Everything you showed I wrote down. Loved everything. Thank you ladies for sharing yourself.
Thank you so much for your kind comment Pamela!!!!!! We sure appreciate you!
Thanks for a wonderful video! I loved seeing SNash's stash, there were a couple that I actually didn't recognize! Have a great trip!!
Thanks so much Tammy!!
Loved salivating over your SN stash. Great video
Thanks so much Jacqueline!!
Hey, you two! Great video! Absolutely love your enthusiasm and your projects are swoon worthy. Have a great trip to the Attic! Can’t wait to see your haul!
Thanks Terri!!! Wish you were coming along to the attic!!!! We will be sure to show whatever haul we get....love seeing everyone else's haul!!!
Loved seeing the Christmas projects. I slowed the video speed down to .5 so I could catch the linen colors and chart names. That was fun! Jotted down a few titles that I would not have seen so thank you for that. I've also discarded partially stitched pieces and they make great snippets for little heart or square ornaments. Have fun and Happy Thanksgiving to you both!
Thanks Marlene!!!!! I bet that was funny slowed down....we try to remember to mention everything about chart name, linen, etc., but if we ever forget and there is something you need to know about, just let us know. We are happy to help when we can!! That snippet idea is brilliant! Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving to you!!
Great video. Love Stacy Nash charts. Look forward to seeing all your treasues from Blackbird retreat. Hope you will do video with their charts....the cutting of linen still has me in shock!!
Thanks Patricia!!!! We will be sure to show any and all treasures from the BBD retreat! Yes, that was a wake up moment at the end, wasn't it!!!
Love you gals. Had so much fun visiting with you again. 😀. You have such Awesome projects. Love everything in your background too. 😍😍 Hope you have a great retreat. Can't wait to hear all about it.
Thanks so much Linda for your kind comments!!!!!
I feel like I need to watch with a pen and paper handy. So many good pieces of advice and charts I want in every episode.
Thanks Sandra!!!! That is so kind of you to say!!! Hugs!
Oh My God! You ladies are such enablers. I've never stitched a Stacy Nash before, my tastes aren't that primitive yet! 9Eyeroll) But I've paused the video several times and taken notes. I've also ordered my first Hands Across the Sea Samplers - Elizabeth Weston one, and because no chart should travel alone Miss Mary Ann Bournes too jumped in with her, along with A Saviour's Praise! Now I'm waiting for video #7 so you can tell me what else I need to buy!
That is so exciting Myna!!!!! You picked some gorgeous samplers!!!!!!!!! No need for you to change your tastes to more primitive stuff...you just keep stitching whatever makes you happy!!!! Plus, you now have three huge samplers to keep you busy for the next three years!!!! Happy Stitching!!!
You will have to quit working in order to read all the great comments! All of them well deserved too. Your videos are very inspiring, funny, and a little shocking when the scissors came out. Keep doing these wonderful videos, and try a short one at the Attic with Carol. It would be so fun to see the three of you together. Love your smiling faces. 🥰❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much Bonnie!!!!!!! We sure appreciate your lovely comments and smiling face in your Avatar!!
Loved your video. if your serious about throwing away that stitching I volunteer to rescue it out of the trash. i would use it for a back on some of my bowl fillers that i finish myself. Love purple!!!
Thanks Lynn!! Unfortunately, I believe that piece of linen has been dispatched to the trash already. Brenda does not mess around when she is serious about cutting her losses. Next time we will save it for you!!!
Oh, how I look forward to your videos. ❤️ They have everything; beauty (both of your darling faces), love ( for designers, linen, fibers, samplers) stories of stitchy friendship, young girls and a few boys stitching samplers 100’s of years ago and . . . NOW DRAMA when Brenda grabs the large purple gripped scissors and Laura’s eyes get as round as saucers 😳 while Brenda proceeds to cut ✂️ her Christmas at Hollyhock Farm in half!!! 😂🤣🤗that was the most liberating and happy thing for me to see. I think my eyes looked just like Laura’s but when it was done and Brenda was still smiling that beautiful smile of hers I felt how a load could be lifted. That our stitching should be fun for the most part. It was a good reminder. Thank you!
I do have one question since you chose Stacy Nash and I do love her designs also. But, often she directs you to stitch on a pretty bland linen and then tea or coffee dye it yourself or to use those dying crystals on your already stitched piece? Do you do that? Or do you chose a more vintage dyed linen to begin with?
Thanks again for your wonderful parade of Stacy Nash patterns and stitched pieces. So much fun!
Thank you so much for the sweet and kind words Laurel! I've only dyed one piece after I've stitched it and it was pretty small so I wasn't too worried about it. I'm too chicken to do it on a big project though LOL! I would choose a piece of linen that is pretty distressed so I wouldn't have to dye it after all the stitching is complete.
Awesome video!!! Love all the Stacy Nash charts and seeing the stitched pieces!!! Beautiful stitching ladies!!! Safe travels to Az, have a great time at the Attic and Happy Thanksgiving to you both and your families. Lynn
Thanks Lynn!!!!! Hope someday we are all at The Attic at the same time!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Thanks Elizabeth!!!! We will try to get some pics up from the retreat....but we do tend to get nutty when we are at the Attic! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!!
