Congratulations Laura on two finished samplers...great job...your two cats are obviously intelligent...love both your plans for stitching...I have so much to learn before getting up to your speed...thanks for being you...I always enjoy your video’s ❤️
Brenda and Laura you both inspire me and it makes my day each time I see you both. Brenda's tour was do amazing ,I'm still reeling from all the beautiful things. Ladies stay safe, keep stitching,band thank you for sharing the stitching love
Your Deborah Harry bags are fabulous Laura, and you were so cute Brenda when you said you double screened while stitching. Thank you so much ladies and stay safe ❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your stitching and time with us ! I purchased cleaning gloves and mittens from QVC several years ago. They are a very soft microfiber. No chemicals at all. They attract and trap the dust. All I have to do is lovingly touch and handle my biscornus and framed works and the dust comes off onto these cleaning mitts which then go into the washing machine. Stay well abd Merry Christmas! ❤️
🤗Thank you ladies! Yeah, Laura, two finishes!!! Those cats are so cute! Brenda I still keep thinking about your home tour - lovely! Take care both of you.🎄
Two peas in a pod whether split or whole always makes a great FT. Laura WOW two finishes Beauties both!!! Loved seeing all the STUFF . Those Debby bags are Gorgeous!!! Happy week and stitching
I forgot to watch Brenda's house tour! Have to go back. I'm behind cause I had a knitting class online over the weekend. So nice to relax with you ladies after that! I hope everyone stays well -- very smart to play it safe and stay separated. Take care!
You two dolls! Another super visit! Look at you Laura, finishing all the stuff, woo hoo, keep it up and you will catch up with Brenda. :) Edith is precious, her markings are lovely. Hope you Covid caution wasn't needed but you were wise to observe staying apart. A big hug to you both, keep stitching. I am going back to working on Ann Morison while supper bakes in the oven. XXXX
Thank you ladies for another inspiring video! Serial Start to Finish! Wow!! Love you finishes Laura, beautiful! Brenda Your Noel Sampler is so beautifully framed, so wonderful! Happy stitching , those kitties are the custest!
Hi ladies, another great video. Love, love all your beautiful things. Laura, your cats are so adorable! You make my Sundays so much better. Please take care and looking forward to seeing you two again in a couple of weeks. Happy Stitching!!
The Noel sampler is gorgeous and Laura finishing Ann Powell in a week! Maybe, just maybe if I concentrated on one project, I might finish something too. But where’s the fun in that! Another fun visit with you both.
Fun video! I started working on Anniversaries of the Heart when Olivia did but did not keep up with it - I’ve done four blocks so far. You will find that when you pull the called-for threads they do not look like the cover photos. I agonized over January and finally decided to substitute colors. Once you get going with it everything seems to work out just fine. I look forward to you both working on it. It is my goal to finish it by summer of 2021. Brenda, your home tour was amazing and inspirational. Laura, your cats are precious - we have four who also look innocent. Happy stitching!
Brenda loved your home video and all your stitching. One piece you had I just loved it was the Blueberry drum by your stitching chair I was so thrilled others loved it and you mentioned the pieces name. Thank you
What a treat you both are. Many thanks for the joy and inspiration you give me. Adored the tour, I got teary......watched it 4 times so far. The cats are bootiful...xxxxx. kindest Regards from Auckland New Zealand.
Thank you so much Suzanne!!!! Brenda's tour was amazing and I can understand getting teary!!!! There is just so much stitching happiness in her home and it is so inspiring!!!! Hugs!
Enjoyed the video - love how you make it work, no matter the situation. Yay! Laura for two finishes, both beautiful! (I mentioned y'all in my FlossTube #9 this week regarding "marching orders" - Laura I have a friend that gave me "marching orders" to finish a Christmas quilt - so I know the feeling. 😂) Brenda, really enjoyed your home tour yesterday! Howard is beautiful! Laura, love Ferguson and Edith - so cute! We have a Ferguson, but a tortoise shell - she can be a stinker, but most nights sits on my lap like an angel while I stitch and watch tv. I have admired Olivia's Anniversaries of the Heart piece and all the family history she has included in that piece and thinking on a New Year's start - that would be a perfect piece for a family legacy/ heirloom. Great idea! Hope you all have a wonderful week!
I have to tell you ladies, that I just enjoy your shenanigans. I can imagine a retreat with you two attending would be lots of laughs. You inspire me and you are so talented.
Another wonderful flosstube...loved seeing the fur babies... You two are such fun! Thanks for sharing the finishes, wips, haul/stash, and possible new starts... Going to watch the tour now..
Brenda, I have two daughters, the oldest will be 59 in July. Laura I had a special birthday in 1940 (same as Brenda’s mother) but it was on Father”s Day. My daughter and a friend pushed me to view you two (didn’t know there was a thing called flosstube) Since I have watched each episode at least 3 times. Thank you sooo very much for my “comfort view”.
Laura!!!!! Woo hoo!!! A sampler start and finish in less than 2 weeks and another finish!!! Yea for you!!! Brenda, I love your Noel sampler! I have it kitted up and need to get that started, besides it is my last name!!blessings to you both!!!
Thank you Vicki!!!! That is so cool that your last name is Noel!!!! That means that there are a lot of must stitches out there with your last name on it!
Hi Brenda and Laura, enjoyed your video very much. Laura, I love your cats-so cute! I have one cat, named Lily. She's adorable too. Brenda, your Howard is a cutie too. Love everything yall stitch. So pretty. You both have inspired me to finish some projects. Please stay safe from Covid. It is so scary. Love you girls. See you next time. Happy stitching! Pam Miller
Love both of your kitties. I am currently without a cat, and sure do miss having one. Edith is very pretty. Thanks, again, for sharing all your wonderful stitching. I love watching you two!
Hi ladies! The tour was beautiful! Love Howard ❤ I volunteer at an animal shelter in an open-room (not caged) cat room. Oh my gosh, Laura! Love your black cat!! We only have a few at the shelter. They are my favorites. Awww, Edith is a little baby! Thank you. Love your flosstubes!
Thank you so much Cynthia! It was great that all of our cats got on screen this time. Well almost, I have Flossie who has been staying upstairs away from Edith and Ferguson since they moved in. She is not a fan.
Very cute kitties. Mine is on my lap asleep. The tour was fabulous. I've enjoyed your videos together and your work is lovely. I wonder if the ladies hundreds of years ago laughed and chatted about their stitching projects? Have a wonderful holiday season and keep well. Thanks for all you do and share.
Thanks for all the inspiration!! Laura all your finishes! Love!!! The projects and new starts! Very glad y’all are well and hopefully together soon!! ❤️
I was inspired (or enabled?) by Laura in your last video, so I ordered Winifred Glark right after watching you. It will be my Christmas start using the called-for threads on flax linen. I like the way the red and green floss show up on the plain linen. Cute kitties Laura, and I enjoyed seeing Howard on your home tour Brenda. Thanks ladies!
Oww Brenda your NOEL is gorgeous. And I have never stitched with silks but you have inspired me to have a go and I love the Jane S....... sampler. Its on my wish list. I live in New Zealand and dont see or have silks local so I think I will order a kit from the Attick as you speak so highly of them. THANK YOU.
Enjoyed it girls, This is when we count our blessings and you are on my list! I love how we all share stash and projects and linens and color choices etc etc: Stay safe: I hope to have a quiet holiday including lots of stitching!
Thanks to both you for your inspiratition . Love your video's. You both always make me laugh and want to stitch all that you do. Would love to meet both of you someday. You always seem so happy and always look like your such good friends. Have a great stitch day.
Love how you both get excited for each other and your projects! I have used a black sharpie for many repairs! Again a very enjoyable video. So many times, I chime in and remember you can’t hear me!!😂
Ann Powell and Home from Sea are gorgeous Laura!! I'm having palpitations over your new bags!!! Great Christmas and New Year plans! AOTH is such a great family record/treasure. Brenda, Noel is absolutely stunning!!! Ferguson and Edith are too cute!!!!! Thanks as always, stay safe and happy stitching.
I'm thinking all of the cats may need their own segment too! They are all so cute! I'm off to make a couple of purchases per usual after I've watched one of your videos. :)
You ladies are the joy of my stitching week! I appreciate all of your time (including Megan). The home tour was amazing. Laura, you are making my stitching progress look painfully slow! Happy holidays to you both.
Laura your TWO FO's are very BEAUTIFUL!! Ladies loving this video as ALWAYS!! The special edition Brenda's your will not come on....just a black screen. HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2020!!
Lovely stitching ladies!! Thanks for sharing, and LOVE the kitties! We are a crazy cat household. We started rescuing strays in our neck of the woods 2 decades ago and have ended up giving most of them a cozy home. Stay safe lades and hugs from NE Ohio!!
Brenda, Laura, thank you so much for this wonderful video....a couple of things....my stash is growing fast....I watch your videos mor than once, love them....Brenda your house video yesterday.....better than a visit to a museum....and with heart. It showed how much and how well you do your work, and your love for stitching samplers....funny that someone notice about dust....I did too, the absence of it.....lady, you work, stitch and keep and immaculate home....I want your secret. Laura, I love the cats....and their names....marry Xmas or whatever you celebrate to the both of you and families.. Be safe. Keep well.
Thank you so much Isabel!!!!!! Loved reading your comments. You are so right about Brenda and her home. It is so wonderful!!!!! I want her secret too......Merry Christmas to you!!!
My heart went thumpity thump Laura when you mentioned Puget Sound. I lived right on the water of Puget Sound for five years in my childhood. It gets in your blood! Perfect choice! Thanks you two for sharing!
OH MY GOSH!! I am such a dork that this just excited me!! I am a new subscriber. I love watching your videos and am now working thru some back ones. ANYWAY, i started stitching again after about an 18 yr break. I have finished and framed 8 projects over covid time and I am re-obsessed! . BUT..here's the deal..my daughter recently moved to Lockport, I was there in the summer and looked up needlework shops..Found "Inspired Needle " and went there, having the BEST time. I hadnt been in a needlework shop in years. Anyway it just thrilled me to realize just now that that's a shop you visit too! Small world! I don't have a shop near me so it was a treat and just fun to hear you talk about going there. Anyway...keep up those starts!!!
Not one but TWO finishes from Laura! Nice job! I’ve been watching Olivia’s progress on Anniversaries....and enjoyed hearing about her family. Will be fun to follow along with the two of you as you pay homage to your families. Stay healthy!
The two of you physically together is way better, but I so appreciate that you can still make videos when you have to be apart. No love your finishes, love your new bags, love it all! Thank you so much!
Hi Ladies! My jaw dropped off when I saw 2 finishes from Laura! Well done Laura! OMG those cute cats! I can't even! Tks for sharing everything with us Ladies. Happy Stitching! Xoxo. Miriam
So sorry to hear your not feeling well Laura, hope it’s only a cold and we’ll all see you back with Brenda very soon, take care of yourselves. Brenda your house is amazing, thousands of beautiful stitches made with love XB
I am so glad you still did a video under the circumstances. I also loved seeing the new kitties, I love animals, we have 6 cats. But our house is large and they all have their own territories. I had not seen Brenda Gervais's new SAL so thank you for mentioning it, I had to stop the video to check it out.
Thank you!!!!!! I would love to have more cats (and a maid to clean up litter boxes, etc.). It is really fun to have a bonded brother/sister pair. A whole litter would be ideal! Glad you got the news about the Brenda Gervais SAL. It is so cute!!!
Laura love your beautiful kitty cats. Brenda I’ve started Ann Morison but may have to put aside till my ornament stitching gifts are finished. Happy stitching and Christmas blessings to you both.
Loved your video today. Hope y'all stay safe! Thanks for the answer about the dust, I know it protects the furniture🤗 but your idea of a damp paper towel sounds like a plan.
So sad you can’t be together...but hopefully you will be together again soon. Brenda, I cracked up at your comment about football...I do the same thing, mute the game and watch flosstube. Especially when my teams aren’t doing so well 😏 Laura’s finishes are so beautiful! Thank you for continuing to make floss tubes for us. Happy stitching 🧵
My usual thanks for your video. I so appreciate you taking the time to share with us. I, too, have held off on doing the Anniversaries of the Heart. I want to personalize it with family initials and dates, and I've been dithering on whether I should plot that or chronologically or just wing it.
I am get so excited after I watch you ladies to start my stitching, Just started back at stitching a newbie starting slow to learn . Thank you I am learning more each time I watch. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤ hugs Betsy in Maryland
That is so exciting Betsy!!!!!!!!!!!! I bet you are having fun seeing all of the wonderful charts to stitch and deciding what to work on!!!!! Wish you lived close so we could pop in and see!!!
Congratulations, Laura!!! I bet you're so thrilled to have 2 finishes in one week. I'm a fairly bad serial starter myself, so having finishes is very special! And your Edith looks so much like my Lacey who has crossed the rainbow bridge. Gorgeous kitties! Brenda - I laughed when you said you watch football on mute with your tablet right there with Floss Tube on!!! I've been doing that for several weeks now. Best of both worlds in my opinion!! I hope you guys are able to be together next time!
You ladies are just some of the best . Thank you for sharing your talents with the stitching community. I always look forward to watching your close tubes.
Love your videos Ladies! Brenda, your house tour was lovely! Love that everything has meaning to you and your husband. Laura, your finishes were great. Two of them! May have to change your name to the Serial Finisher! Ha. Keep up the good work. Love the cabinet behind you.
"DUDE" ..... Hahaha you girls crack me up I'm so happy to see your enthusiasm. Love your channel. Found you both not long ago with the " happy place" your. So I'm catching up on binge watching. Thanks
You two are so much fun... makes my heart smile🥰 lovely stitching Laura great finishes! And those bags of Deborah Harry’s oh my!! I’ve given up maybe after Christmas.... take care you two wishing you the best in all the new starts I have Ann Morison as well...beautiful!
Thank you so much LaNelle!!!!!! I need to start Ann Morrison I got my supplies right after the last video! Yes, those Deborah Harry bags are just amazing!!!!!! Hope you can get one or two in the new year!
Laura, love your finishes. Great job. Does this entitle you to 2 new starts?? Thank you Laura for your praises for Brenda's tour. I couldn't find words any better and you nailed it. Again Brenda, thank you for sharing your cross stitch memory journey. Both have a great couple of weeks. Stay safe.
Thanks so much Patricia!!!!!!! Only 2 new starts...you know I started way more than that! or at least a few more. I am, as always, out of control! Happy Stitching!
I’m so glad you ladies did a video anyways!! I’m glad to hear that you’re all safe! Omgosh!!! Kitties 🐈⬛! We have several cats from fostering and rescuing ourselves ☺️ loved seeing all the cats soooo cute! Congrats 🎉 Laura on your finishes- we were sitting here and saw the first finish and were happy- and then when you pulled the second we were whaaaa!?! 😃 so Fred says to me: so she’s no longer the starter, but the finisher! Lol they are beautiful 😻- well done! I’m try to finish up grandmother fairy from L&L - she’s been going for quite some time... I NEED to get a finish now! Thank you both for the funny and positive videos- I’m sure there are days when you’re tired or don’t feel like it... so THANK YOU. 🙏🏻❤️
Thanks Jennifer! Tell Fred not to get too excited....I have about 500 unfinished projects so no worries about me becoming the serial finisher!!!! Hope you can finish your L&L fairy soon!!!!! Hugs and Merry Christmas to you both!
What a nice surprise seeing you guys so soon! I was expecting to see you next week. Perhaps I have miscounted weeks. Anyway, you are not going to believe this! I am going to start Anniversaries of the Heart within the next couple of weeks. I happened to see this project bag in a strange place in my sewing room. I opened it up and to my surprise was the complete set of Anniversaries of the Heart with the linen (Old Town Blend) and ALL the threads needed for the entire project. I feel so stupid because not only do I have one complete set but I happened upon a second complete set. I guess I will try to sell it on ebay or something. I have to figure out how go about that since I haven't ever done that before. I must really like these patterns huh? Anyway it was a pleasure watching you guys. Stay safe and Happy Stitching!!!
Brenda I too am doing the Ann Morrison SAL and it is an easy enjoyable stitch. It practically stitches itself, totally doable. Now hope on board too Laura!....you know ya wanna 😝
Awesome video and I watch football and Flosstube at the same time, drives my husband nuts. Since I loved doing 45 count, started Amelia on 45 count Jersey Cream with the called for 100.3 colors. It is beautiful and love working with the silks. Ordered silks for the Lilly Thirza Edwards sampler too and of course some 45 count linen. Stay safe, numbers are high in PA so we are staying home.
You are working on such exciting and beautiful samplers!!! and on 45 count!!!! I am about to start Ann Morrison soon on 45 count. I hope it is not too challenging! I am not in the mood for challenges!
OMG, Laura!! 2 finishes! You go, girl! As always, I enjoyed visiting with you ladies. Brenda, I'm still basking in the glow of watching your tour yesterday.
omg...I am doing Anniversaries of the heart! I am doing a block a month, like Pumpkin Hollow Quilts. Laura, when you showed your finishes, I said you’re turning into Brenda🥳. Every time Laura says Debbie Harry, “The tide is high”🤣. I love you guys and again thanks for entertaining us.
Thank you!!!!!!! I think of Debbie Harry - Blondie - every time too!!!!! I don't think she can make those beautiful bags though!!! Glad you are doing AoTH too!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy you girls so much! Hope you stay well. Your tour really was wonderful. I can’t believe how much you have done. It is all beautiful! Have fun stitching.
Where to start with my comment? Brenda, the house tour was stunning. Laura, I love your finishes. I stitched and framed the Friday night piece from the DTS retreat immediately but haven’t started the main piece yet. I keep wanting to start it but, squirrel 🐿, it hasn’t happened. Currently stitching on Merry and Bright by Pineberry Lane from the Quaint Ladies Club. Of course I have 5000 in the wings......... Have a very Merry Christmas and many hours of stitching. A Christmas Day and New Years Day starts sounds great but what about a Boxing Day start? Loved seeing the kitties. Edith is so sweet looking.
Hello girls, once again very inspiring, Brenda I loved the tour, you have so many beautiful framed pieces and other stitched pieces and a very lovely house. Love you girls xxx
Another great video...thank you. Brenda...when you stitch another beautiful project and have it framed do you know where you are going to hang it in your home. Love you both!
As always, such a joy to hear from you both! I ordered an Advent box this year, so I’ve had that to look forward to everyday. Haven’t received anything yet from Ann. I think I have a bag on the way but can’t remember who I ordered it from, lol! I’m hoping to do Brenda’s piece this week tho I have no white linen; I’ll just make do once I see the pattern! Have a great couple of weeks! Stay well...
Yes her tour was fabulous so much inspiration everywhere, love you ladies stay safe and Brightest Blessings
Wow beautiful cat 💜💜💜
Congratulations Laura on two finished samplers...great job...your two cats are obviously intelligent...love both your plans for stitching...I have so much to learn before getting up to your speed...thanks for being you...I always enjoy your video’s ❤️

I forgot to watch Brenda's house tour! Have to go back. I'm behind cause I had a knitting class online over the weekend. So nice to relax with you ladies after that! I hope everyone stays well -- very smart to play it safe and stay separated. Take care!

Brenda and Laura are a great team! We are blessed to have them share their “stitching” lives with us. You two are “fabulous enablers”.
Thank you Marcia!

My favorite duo. I look forward to your videos every week. My husband even recognizes your voices now as the ladies who stitch all the projects lol
Thanks Jessica!!!! That is pretty funny about your husband!!!
Ann Powell and Home from Sea are gorgeous Laura!! I'm having palpitations over your new bags!!! Great Christmas and New Year plans! AOTH is such a great family record/treasure.

It showed how much and how well you do your work, and your love for stitching samplers....funny that someone notice about dust....I did too, the absence of it.....lady, you work, stitch and keep and immaculate home....I want your secret. Laura, I love the cats....and their names....marry Xmas or whatever you celebrate to the both of you and families.. Be safe. Keep well.
Thank you so much Isabel!!!!!! Loved reading your comments. You are so right about Brenda and her home. It is so wonderful!!!!! I want her secret too......Merry Christmas to you!!!
My heart went thumpity thump Laura when you mentioned Puget Sound. I lived right on the water of Puget Sound for five years in my childhood. It gets in your blood! Perfect choice! Thanks you two for sharing!
It is just the most beautiful place ever. I miss it so much!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Nancy!
OH MY GOSH!! I am such a dork that this just excited me!! I am a new subscriber. I love watching your videos and am now working thru some back ones. ANYWAY, i started stitching again after about an 18 yr break. I have finished and framed 8 projects over covid time and I am re-obsessed! . BUT..here's the deal..my daughter recently moved to Lockport, I was there in the summer and looked up needlework shops..Found "Inspired Needle " and went there, having the BEST time. I hadnt been in a needlework shop in years. Anyway it just thrilled me to realize just now that that's a shop you visit too! Small world! I don't have a shop near me so it was a treat and just fun to hear you talk about going there. Anyway...keep up those starts!!!
Not one but TWO finishes from Laura! Nice job! I’ve been watching Olivia’s progress on Anniversaries....and enjoyed hearing about her family. Will be fun to follow along with the two of you as you pay homage to your families. Stay healthy!
I loved Frameworks pieces from years ago.....I have many. Thank you great show b
Thank you Martha!!! Glad we all have some "oldies but goodies!"
The two of you physically together is way better, but I so appreciate that you can still make videos when you have to be apart. No love your finishes, love your new bags, love it all! Thank you so much!
Hi Ladies! My jaw dropped off when I saw 2 finishes from Laura! Well done Laura! OMG those cute cats! I can't even! Tks for sharing everything with us Ladies. Happy Stitching! Xoxo. Miriam
Thank you Miriam!!! I know that was probably the most shocking moment of our videos!!!!
So sorry to hear your not feeling well Laura, hope it’s only a cold and we’ll all see you back with Brenda very soon, take care of yourselves. Brenda your house is amazing, thousands of beautiful stitches made with love XB
I am so glad you still did a video under the circumstances. I also loved seeing the new kitties, I love animals, we have 6 cats. But our house is large and they all have their own territories. I had not seen Brenda Gervais's new SAL so thank you for mentioning it, I had to stop the video to check it out.
Thank you!!!!!! I would love to have more cats (and a maid to clean up litter boxes, etc.). It is really fun to have a bonded brother/sister pair. A whole litter would be ideal! Glad you got the news about the Brenda Gervais SAL. It is so cute!!!
Laura love your beautiful kitty cats. Brenda I’ve started Ann Morison but may have to put aside till my ornament stitching gifts are finished. Happy stitching and Christmas blessings to you both.
Thank you Clare!!! Yes, stitch those Christmas ornaments while the mood strikes!!!!
I loved seeing all of your beautiful work on the house tour. I enjoy seeing you ladies.
Thank you Amy!!!
Very nice finishes Laura.
Brenda, Quaker Hill is looking so pretty.
Marilyn
Thank you Marilyn!!!!!!
Thanks for a lovely start to my week 💕Michele
Thank you Michele!!!
Loved your video today. Hope y'all stay safe! Thanks for the answer about the dust, I know it protects the furniture🤗 but your idea of a damp paper towel sounds like a plan.
Thank you Patricia!
So sad you can’t be together...but hopefully you will be together again soon. Brenda, I cracked up at your comment about football...I do the same thing, mute the game and watch flosstube. Especially when my teams aren’t doing so well 😏 Laura’s finishes are so beautiful! Thank you for continuing to make floss tubes for us. Happy stitching 🧵
Bless you both for taking the necessary precautions, and may you both stay safe and well.
Thank you very much Louise.... you stay safe and well too!!!
Laura your finishes r amazing, so proud of u!! Wonderful video as always😊. The kitties r adorable.
Thank you so much Trieva!!!
Great fun. Love the kitties and the stitching.
Thank you Lynette!
My usual thanks for your video. I so appreciate you taking the time to share with us. I, too, have held off on doing the Anniversaries of the Heart. I want to personalize it with family initials and dates, and I've been dithering on whether I should plot that or chronologically or just wing it.
I am get so excited after I watch you ladies to start my stitching, Just started back at stitching a newbie starting slow to learn . Thank you I am learning more each time I watch. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤ hugs Betsy in Maryland
That is so exciting Betsy!!!!!!!!!!!! I bet you are having fun seeing all of the wonderful charts to stitch and deciding what to work on!!!!! Wish you lived close so we could pop in and see!!!
Congratulations, Laura!!! I bet you're so thrilled to have 2 finishes in one week. I'm a fairly bad serial starter myself, so having finishes is very special! And your Edith looks so much like my Lacey who has crossed the rainbow bridge. Gorgeous kitties! Brenda - I laughed when you said you watch football on mute with your tablet right there with Floss Tube on!!! I've been doing that for several weeks now. Best of both worlds in my opinion!! I hope you guys are able to be together next time!
Edith and Ferguson are adorable. Stay safe and happy stitching
Thank you dear!!!!!!!! They want to meet Albus!!!
Love your videos and I loved meeting your cats....you both are an inspiration to me
Thank you so much Carol!!!!!! That is so kind of you to say!!!!
LAURA!!! You did beautiful work and finished in a week amazing!!!!!!!!!

Laura, love your finishes. Great job. Does this entitle you to 2 new starts?? Thank you Laura for your praises for Brenda's tour. I couldn't find words any better and you nailed it. Again Brenda, thank you for sharing your cross stitch memory journey. Both have a great couple of weeks. Stay safe.
Thanks so much Patricia!!!!!!! Only 2 new starts...you know I started way more than that! or at least a few more. I am, as always, out of control! Happy Stitching!
I’m so glad you ladies did a video anyways!! I’m glad to hear that you’re all safe! Omgosh!!! Kitties 🐈⬛! We have several cats from fostering and rescuing ourselves ☺️ loved seeing all the cats soooo cute! Congrats 🎉 Laura on your finishes- we were sitting here and saw the first finish and were happy- and then when you pulled the second we were whaaaa!?! 😃 so Fred says to me: so she’s no longer the starter, but the finisher! Lol they are beautiful 😻- well done! I’m try to finish up grandmother fairy from L&L - she’s been going for quite some time... I NEED to get a finish now! Thank you both for the funny and positive videos- I’m sure there are days when you’re tired or don’t feel like it... so THANK YOU. 🙏🏻❤️
Thanks Jennifer! Tell Fred not to get too excited....I have about 500 unfinished projects so no worries about me becoming the serial finisher!!!! Hope you can finish your L&L fairy soon!!!!! Hugs and Merry Christmas to you both!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 awww 🥰 thanks 🙏🏻!! Hugs back and have a wonderful Merry Christmas 🎄! And I’ll tell him! Lol
I loved the tour and and such a variety of items. Thank you for sharing both you and Laura's talents.
Thank you for watching Linda!!!
I think I need the GiGi R chart...adding to my list of everything you both stitch..I just need to live another 3 lifetimes to stitch everything!😊❤
We all need three more lifetimes plus one extra for all of the charts that are coming down the pike!!!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 so true...and then all the new stuff from Market!!
Always wonderful to spend my Sunday afternoons with the two of you and those adorable kittens!!!
Thank you so much Sarah!!!!!!
What a nice surprise seeing you guys so soon! I was expecting to see you next week. Perhaps I have miscounted weeks. Anyway, you are not going to believe this! I am going to start Anniversaries of the Heart within the next couple of weeks. I happened to see this project bag in a strange place in my sewing room. I opened it up and to my surprise was the complete set of Anniversaries of the Heart with the linen (Old Town Blend) and ALL the threads needed for the entire project. I feel so stupid because not only do I have one complete set but I happened upon a second complete set. I guess I will try to sell it on ebay or something. I have to figure out how go about that since I haven't ever done that before. I must really like these patterns huh? Anyway it was a pleasure watching you guys. Stay safe and Happy Stitching!!!
Thank you again for a bright spot..... love you both and the kitties too❤️
Thank you Laurie!!! Hugs!!!
You girls are sooooo entertaining! Thanks for sharing the free SAL info!
Thank you for watching Theresa!
Brenda I too am doing the Ann Morrison SAL and it is an easy enjoyable stitch. It practically stitches itself, totally doable. Now hope on board too Laura!....you know ya wanna 😝
I am on board too!!!! Got my supplies this week and am very excited to start!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 That’s awesome Laura! I’m already halfway done in just 5 days. Like Nicola said she’s a charmer. 😊
Brenda I do the same thing as u, stitch with Flosstube on iPad and muted football on TV! Love u ladies!
That is such a great idea Cindy!!! I need to do it too!
You two are so inspirational. Love all your starts, finishes and great ideas to start. Stay safe. You made me laugh and feel happy today. 💖😍😍👏👏
That is so nice of you to say Linda!!! So happy we could provide a lift to your spirits!!
Awesome video and I watch football and Flosstube at the same time, drives my husband nuts. Since I loved doing 45 count, started Amelia on 45 count Jersey Cream with the called for 100.3 colors. It is beautiful and love working with the silks. Ordered silks for the Lilly Thirza Edwards sampler too and of course some 45 count linen. Stay safe, numbers are high in PA so we are staying home.
You are working on such exciting and beautiful samplers!!! and on 45 count!!!! I am about to start Ann Morrison soon on 45 count. I hope it is not too challenging! I am not in the mood for challenges!
OMG, Laura!! 2 finishes! You go, girl! As always, I enjoyed visiting with you ladies. Brenda, I'm still basking in the glow of watching your tour yesterday.
Thank you Rita!!!!!!!
Love all of your WIPS - Love your Fabrics and all of the Threads that you are doing yours on.
Stay Safe
Happy Stitching
❤️🪡XX❤️
Thank you so much Linda!!!
omg...I am doing Anniversaries of the heart! I am doing a block a month, like Pumpkin Hollow Quilts. Laura, when you showed your finishes, I said you’re turning into Brenda🥳. Every time Laura says Debbie Harry, “The tide is high”🤣. I love you guys and again thanks for entertaining us.
Thank you!!!!!!! I think of Debbie Harry - Blondie - every time too!!!!! I don't think she can make those beautiful bags though!!! Glad you are doing AoTH too!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy you girls so much! Hope you stay well. Your tour really was wonderful. I can’t believe how much you have done. It is all beautiful! Have fun stitching.
Thank you so much Sharon!
Where to start with my comment? Brenda, the house tour was stunning. Laura, I love your finishes. I stitched and framed the Friday night piece from the DTS retreat immediately but haven’t started the main piece yet. I keep wanting to start it but, squirrel 🐿, it hasn’t happened. Currently stitching on Merry and Bright by Pineberry Lane from the Quaint Ladies Club. Of course I have 5000 in the wings......... Have a very Merry Christmas and many hours of stitching. A Christmas Day and New Years Day starts sounds great but what about a Boxing Day start? Loved seeing the kitties. Edith is so sweet looking.
I like your blackbird design Laura. It is pretty.
Thank you so much Cheryl!!!!
Hello girls, once again very inspiring, Brenda I loved the tour, you have so many beautiful framed pieces and other stitched pieces and a very lovely house. Love you girls xxx
Thank you so much Jane!!!!! Hugs and love to you!!!!!
Another great video...thank you. Brenda...when you stitch another beautiful project and have it framed do you know where you are going to hang it in your home. Love you both!
Thank you!!!!!!! Brenda just wings it with the framing placement....she is running out of room but she can still make it work!
Omg! Ferguson and Edith are adorable!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much Tania!!!!
Thank you for your wonderful home tour. Beautiful stitches!!
Thank you Carol!
As always, such a joy to hear from you both! I ordered an Advent box this year, so I’ve had that to look forward to everyday. Haven’t received anything yet from Ann. I think I have a bag on the way but can’t remember who I ordered it from, lol! I’m hoping to do Brenda’s piece this week tho I have no white linen; I’ll just make do once I see the pattern! Have a great couple of weeks! Stay well...
Thanks Judy!!!!! I hope that you get all of your packages ASAP!!!!! And that you are stitching away and having a grand time!
Thanks fo the wonderful video. You make everything a bit more normal. Stay safe.
Thanks Allison!
