I’m on holiday in our campervan (RV) and brought Florence Law as my project, so abiding by your red sampler law but I just can’t seem to get my head into a good place to stitch. So to get my stitching fix I thought, why not go back to the beginning of Brenda and Laura’s videos and I’ve now watched three. My goodness, you two haven’t changed a bit. You are just yourselves right from the start. Thanks for making these wonderful videos to share with us.
I am a new addition to your adoring fans. I am watching in order, so I'm two years behind. I am in a small town and don't know any other counted cross stitchers. Thank you for letting me be a stitchy friend!
Two of my favorite Stitchers! I stop everything I am doing to watch you two. 😊 You could make one for 2 hours and it wouldn’t be long enough. 😉 Happy Stitching!
Can I just say- love you ladies - I have been stitching for over 30+ years and I too have now become OBSESSED with samplers!!! Love your channel - thanks for enabling me to support my local needlework shops !!
I really love you two!! There are 5 girls in my family, and there are only 2 of us left. Y'all remind me of our fun visits with them through the years. Warms my heart!! And the beautiful stitching!!! Marvelous. I love samplers, but as you know they have to speak to me. As does any stitch. I have to really watch my ordering!!lol.
You both are definitely going to be trend setters with your red samplers :) Enjoyed again a beautiful time with samplers, love and beauty for stitching! Thank you both for sharing your joy with us! Have a great weekend at the game and at the retreat!
Red is my favorite color!!! I’m not much for samplers but they’ve been growing on me the past few years. I bet by the time I finish watching all your videos I’ll be the next serial starter. On to #4. Happy Stitching, Vanessa
Oh, I love you ladies. I would be too embarrassed to say how many times I’ve watched your videos. Love your projects, finishes, plans, and humor. Please keep the stitching and videos coming!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment!!! I can't believe you watched more than once...but I would love to know how many times.....we should be back this coming Sunday. We sure appreciate your kind words!!
Oh Boy TAB soda takes me back , right with Fresca. I have been waiting for you guys. Your right up there with Saltbox Stitcher, Nicole's Needlework and Kitten Stitcher in record time. Take care
I had a wonderful time stitching with both of you. Thanks for sharing all of your fall stitching. Country Stitcher’s shared a free app for your phone to calculate your fabric needs. It was called xstitch calculator- stitching the night away. Happy stitching.
Love you two.. You are so much fun to watch..I know the feeling you are talking about when you see something you have to have I get that too..Thank-you for all your sharing..
So many things out there i want it all! Trying to be good but I’m learning a lot of new places to check out from you all! Love all your finishes. I am a sewer as well and really want to try and maybe make a bag for all my wips instead of purchasing all those bags. :)
I love you two and your videos. I feel like you are my friends...I too work full time and stitch when I get home after the chores are done. I wish for more stitching time! Can't wait for your next video.
Wish I lived near you ladies, I think we could have a fun time stitching and chatting. Thank you so much for your video, it is so inspiring and motivating. Can't wait for the next one. Darlene in Georgia
I wish we all lived in the same town!!! Wouldn't that be the best! We could rent out a high school gym once a month for a big stitch-in!!!!! Thanks for leaving a comment!
How has it taken me this long to watch you two! Your episodes are a pure joy to watch and even though I don’t consider myself much of a sampler stitcher, my wish list is growing by leaps and bounds. Beautiful stitches and beautiful friendship!
I love you girls but you are killing me!!! Brenda, I LOVED all of your. Fall/Halloween pieces! Laura, I jotted down all of the seasonal charts you are planning! I am a sampler girl, so I am loving all of that. I MUST do a red sampler soon!! I'm recently retired & back to cross stitching again after a 30 year hiatus. I hope I live long enough to do at least most of all the cross stitch I want to... the projects kitted up & all that I see from y'all!! I will NEVER be bored!!
Isn't that the truth Sylvia!!! We will never be bored...that's for sure!!!! Thank you for your kind words. Let us know which red sampler you pick!!! So glad you are back to stitching after such a long hiatus!!!!!
Just want to thank you for your enjoyable video...my son popped in and of course I had to start watching it again from the beginning...loved seeing all your samplers past and present...really liked the CH Garden Glade...that one spoke to me too🥰
Thank you so much for sharing your video. You have no idea how comforting it is watching you sooo many miles away (I'm in Athens, Greece) talking about charts and beautiful fabrics and samplers and everything. I enjoy every minute of your videos. Keep up, love you both.
Wow!! Greece!!!! That is amazing!!! You have a beautiful country full of history!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment (and in English too!!!) Sending you a big hug!
Thank you SOOOO much for the mention in you video! I am so happy to meet you! I love all of your pieces and your collection of patterns- PS charts were always my favorite, too!! There is just something about them.... And I need to get my hand on those sheep scissors!!! So great!
Thanks so much Liz!!!!!! Your new designs are gorgeous and it must be so exciting to embark on the new adventure!!!! Wishing you tons of success!!! And we sure love your mom's charts too!!!
Thanks so much for the wonderful visit!!! Your passion for all things stitching shines through and I feel like I just had the most wonderful time with dear (enabling!) friends so thank you for that as well. Isn't this hobby the most wonderful thing? Brenda, your new antique is gorgeous! Have a great time at the game and at the retreat. Your slogan/closing line is the best and I might have to steal it (but giving credit of course!) Happy Stitching!
Thanks so much for your kind and sweet words Wanda!!! This hobby is the most wonderful thing for sure!!!! You can definitely use the closing slogan anytime you want!!!!!
Areola!!!!!! Areola!!!!!! We love you too!!!! Thank goodness we were ridiculous and signed up for BBD in AZ in November!!!! Can't wait to hang out for an extended period of time!!!!!! Woohoooo!!!!!!!
I love your video...I love your WIP'S and new patterns...I love you ladies and I love that your friends because you always make me smile! "I need this like stat" is what I say about every pattern!!
Starting today's binge watch with #3 and I know I'll love it!!! Well, I was right...I want to do everything! I started keeping a notebook with the names of designers and the pieces you show along with all the stitching goodies...I don't think one notebook is going to be enough!!! Beautiful stitching and wonderful video. TFS
Love watching you. Your stitching is wonderful, great choices. I too get that fluttery feeling in my chest when I see something that I have to have, glad I'm not the only one! Happy stitching.
Another fantastic video!!! I love all the stitching you show, the laws and you pack so much stitching in your videos and other important info, I have to take notes to remember all the good things. I am waiting for my Mary Miller kit to come from Country Sampler, I am so excited to start stitching on an American Sampler!!! Brenda, enjoy our football game hope they won and Laura enjoy your retreat with your Mom and friends. Hugs, Lynn
I just found you ladies and have been binge watching from the beginning. So fun! I feel like you do-you don’t fold patterns (unless it’s a working copy)! Wish I could sit beside you and stitch with you!
Hey Ladies, I know I said I wouldn't comment on all of your back videos as I binge watch them, but I just have to say, your background !!!! I quilt and stitch and you both make my heart sing and my eye balls pop out of my head. Also my Wishlist is growing far quicker than my allowance !!! okay. now back to it !!! Much love, Ali.
You ladies are naturals. When I saw your first video I could not believe it was your first one. Love the camaraderie and the humility! Best of luck. And thanks so much for the framing recommendation in Fairfax...not too far from my son in Maryland so I plan to go in person.
Thanks Kathie!!!!! You will love Total Framing!!! They are the best! and I am not even kidding about that. They frame for museums! Thank you for your very kind comments. We so appreciate them!!!!
Hello Brenda and Laura, I watch you from Auckland, New Zealand and so so so enjoy your videos. You talk needlework first and foremost and thats so good. Love to see your work its wonderful. I have started GigiR "The Betrothed" and am enjoying it, there are not a lot of colour changes. You both are motivating, real, funny, encouraging and kind and fit well together. Thanks so much.
Thanks Suzanne!!!!! It is wild to know you are watching us from so far away!!! Glad to hear about your progress on the bethrothed...I hope to start it soon. Thank you for your very kind words...we sure appreciate them!
Love watching you ladies! Brenda, you are fast turning me into a collector! You have beautiful things surrounding you in your stitching room. Laura, love your projects and all the goodies you showed and have a wonderful time with your mom at the retreat! This will be a long 2 weeks until we get to see you again!
What a wonderful calm relaxing video!!! Your projects, finishes, fabric, floss etc etc are just to die for!!! You two are so talented! Perfect way to spend my Sunday!!!
You all are so enjoyable to watch and you do such beautiful projects!! I am new to cross stitch and am trying to learn all I can, right now I can only dream of doing such beautiful things...
Thanks so much for your kind comment! I am sure your work is already beautiful!!!! And there are tons of resources out there for all kinds of stitching knowledge!!! Hope you have an LNS that you can go to also!!!
Oh my Sunday is complete! Love the fall finishes, prairie schoolers, red samplers and your wips! You girls are so fun to spend time with! Thanks for sharing with us! Have fun and happy stitching!
I so enjoyed all your Fall stitching and punching! I had that checkerbird kit by HIH in that pillow form. I had it handing on my old jelly cabinet. My husband hung a plastic bag on the handle with it. Guess where I’m going with this? Yep. He took the bag to the garbage and I never seen Checkerbird again. I guess it went with the bag. 😞 I love When Witches go riding! Fast stitching! I’m like y’all. I like long videos so that I can stitch while watching. ❤️
You girls are just the best! Yes, it is hard to stitch (and decorate) for fall when it is 90 degrees outside. This coming weekend myself and three of the peeps are off to SassyJacks for the Bristol Sampler Workshop and lecture. Red sampler wall--yes.
Thanks Betty!!!! I am so jealous of you attending the Bristol Sampler workshop.....I would love, love, love to be there!!!! You are going to have a fabulous time I just know it!!!
You two are the best enablers! Saw the drum by Midnight Stitching (loved it) and almost fell off my chair! Found it-it wasn’t easy, and will stitch it when it comes! Thanks for pointing that design out to me, didn’t know about it till today. Too bad Michigan isn’t affiliated with the color Red then you could say Go Red-you’d be in heaven!
You gals are my new favorite flosstubers! I love what you stitch and love the desire to “stitch all the things!” I’m definitely a collector and a serial starter but it’s totally impractical seeing how old I am. If a finish ten a year I need to live at least to 150! Brenda I’m a huge U of M fan! Makes me happy that you root for the Maize and Blue. Hope they improve from a very poor start. We lived in Ann Arbor for 10 years and in MI for 31. Love your videos and can’t wait for the next one.
Thanks so much Bonnie!!!!! What kind comments you have left for us!!! We all have more stitching than we can do in a lifetime so let's just try to enjoy as much of it as we can!!! And who knows, maybe we will make it to 150!!!!
Turn the blue lights on me!!! I love to do samplers in blues or greens or a variegated thread!! I do have a couple of red samplers that I am going to keep red!! 💘 LOVE LOVE your videos!! I am a SG receiver of the BEAUTIFUL samplers also!! I am originally from South Bend, IN and when I go home I am making a B line to HOUSE OF STITCHE S in LaPorte and I know of small town New Carlisle!! Have a GREAT time at the retreat!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY!!
That is so cool that you are from South Bend and know of New Carlisle!!!! Isn't it just the cutest town? I could definitely live there with no problem. Hope you get to House of Stitches stat!!!!!
I loved all your fall projects you shared! I am currently stitching the PS Miss Fortune . I love those smaller cards. Have another one on order. I also love to stitch samplers done in red. You are both such enablers.
What a treat this was! So much inspiration and eye candy for Fall and October stitching.I just love you ladies.Thank you for making these videos and sharing all your experience,stories, treasures and friendship with us 🍊🍁🍂I've watched this twice 🍊
I sew enjoy your vlog you two. Inspiring me to work again on a Jacobean sampler I started over 25 years ago. It’s been sitting by my hearth at least that long. Made a booboo and just couldn’t get back at it. I will challenge myself to get at it again. Many thanks!
Love your videos and never too long. Thank you for sharing so much with all of us. Oh, yes, that feeling in the chest, many times!!!! I am going to start a notebook on "The Laws".
Thanks so much Judy!!!! I need to start a notebook on the laws too!!! Don't want to forget any of them...oh that feeling in the chest, isn't it wonderful!!!!
Your passion for our craft shines through with such enthusiasm! I also love your respect for each other and the encouragement you give to one another. Glad you are making videos. You are inspiring and contagious...wonderful!
The 2 of you are terrible for my wallet! I love seeing the things you've stitched, the samplers you've started, things you want to start....and I want to do them all too! I really have such a good time stitching with you and making a "to stitch" list. Have a fantastic week and happy stitching!
What an absolute delight. I love you guys. I’m starting from the beginning of your journey and having so much fun ❤️. Sending you my love and prayers from over the pond 💕💕💕💕
Another educational and entertaining video, ladies! I just received Gathering the Greens and Rabbit Hollow Farm Sampler all kitted up from Country Sampler! Such a sweet designs!! Thank you for enabling my spending habits! My husband doesn't thank you, though 😉
Love you ladies! I’m sitting and stitching listening to you both! I’m a frequent flyer at the House of Stitches. I live about 1:30 south..closest LNS to me. I wish I knew that there was a retreat ...darn it anyway! Have fun ladies!
Thanks Denise!!! The retreat is sponsored by Inspired Needle in Lemont, IL. You can get on Cathy's mailing list to hear about the retreat for next year. It is an annual very special event!!! And House of Stitches is a true gem!!!
Thank you for another great video! You two are wonderful! Thank you for the shoutout. Brenda, I hope you'll enjoy Lucy as much as I did. I'm glad that I decided to hang her two samplers side be side. Anxiously awaiting your next video.
Thanks for leaving such a nice comment Ellen!! At the Inspired Needle retreat this past weekend we were discussing hanging the Lucy samplers side by side and it is all because of your beautiful stitching and picture on IG!
Thank you ladies! I enjoy every minute of your visits and am enthused for more. You share such beautiful eye candy and are such enablers.... I have been following your antics for a long time, not only on IG but, will date myself, also on Laura's blog. Can't wait to hear about your travels!
Thanks so much Patricia!!!! Oh those blog days!! They were such fun weren't they?? However, IG is so much easier. Make sure we are following you on IG...if not, send me a DM!
Love to watch you two. I love the corner gauges but I do what my mom taught me. You can use your index finger because it’s 1 inch between knuckles. Not only is it handy it’s always right in hand. Pardon the pun. Look forward to seeing your next video. Thank y’all for taking the time to make videos.
Thanks Betty!!!! That is great that you can use your hand for the corner measurement!!! Especially because it was taught by your mom!!! You can start a project anywhere, anytime!!!
Loved your video! You are an inspiration! I just stopped at House of Stitches last Friday on my way to Michigan. Amazing wall of fabric! I was so impressed that I went back on Monday on my way home for more linen. Lovely shop.
There were so many gorgeous things in this video that I don’t even know where to start with which one I like the most! But I think the best thing about this video was the TAB!!!!! Can’t wait to see you ladies again soon!
Hello Ladies!! Such an enjoyable video. Have fun at the retreat and the Football game! I have so much to stitch and after watching you ladies, I want to go into my craft room and start everything! Lol! In 1 week I will be going to Dixie Darlin’...Cross Stitch and Crafts...and Sassy Jacks! I hope to bring home a lot of Goodies! Enabled by you lovely ladies 😉...Thank you so much for sharing 💕...until our next visit, I’m wishing you both a great week!
Thank you for another delightful video, Daleen! It’s always fun to spend time with you...so inspiring and uplifting. I’m slowly, but surely venturing into the world of flosstube and enjoying everyone’s different personalities and preferences for stitching. Fun! Happy Fall from SE Michigan 🍁🍂🎃!
I saw the notification bell that your Vlog was up. I am sicker than a dog with some seasonal gunk, but, ran(?) to the kitchen to make a pot of tea, put on some clean jammies, get myself set up with my lamp and needlework, and Ta-Da there was Brenda and the Serial Starter!!!! 50 minutes later, my tea is gone, I have finished part of a border, written down some ideas on patterns and such (I have started a separate notebook that just has B and SS ideas), and have decided I am going to live to see October 1st and be able to start a red sampler! Thank you! Will miss you, but enjoy next weekend!
Love your channel and how inspirational it is! You are so right about going to a retreat anytime you can because we learn/share so many ideas that we normally wouldn’t have a chance to. I went to the September Soirée at Sassy Jacks and made such delightful friends!
We haven't had TAB in Australia for decades! I still miss it to this day, it was the best diet soft drink. Love your floss tube. My best friend Laurel starts and finishes projects, I'm a "serial starter & sometime finisher" looking forward to your next one. Hugs, Maria xxxx
Thanks Maria!!! I am so so sorry that Australia does not have Tab. That is terrible. If there was no Tab I would have to drink Diet Coke. Maybe I would drink more water that way....but until that terrible day comes.....Tab it is. I am glad to meet a fellow serial starter!!!! Glad you have a best friend that stitches!!!!!

never heard of corner gauges before! What a great idea! just bought one. Thanks for sharing. love the videos
Me either. I’ll have to find one. Not sure they are here in Aus.??
For some reason tonight I’m enjoying just watching some ‘classic’ floss tubes. You guys really have not changed!!! Maybe you’ve gotten funnier!!!😂
Oh, I love you ladies. I would be too embarrassed to say how many times I’ve watched your videos. Love your projects, finishes, plans, and humor. Please keep the stitching and videos coming!
Please make more videos, stat!!!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment!!! I can't believe you watched more than once...but I would love to know how many times.....we should be back this coming Sunday. We sure appreciate your kind words!!

Thanks Mildred! You know that feeling!!! I had it a lot the past weekend at retreat. It's dangerous!!!! Happy Stitching!
I had a wonderful time stitching with both of you. Thanks for sharing all of your fall stitching. Country Stitcher’s shared a free app for your phone to calculate your fabric needs. It was called xstitch calculator- stitching the night away. Happy stitching.

You are so fun! I can’t stop watching your flosstubes. I already have a long list to buy next time I am able to travel to USA😍😍😍
You ladies were the sunshine on a gloomy foggy day. Thank you for sharing and inspiring. Your video was not too long, it was too short.
Thanks RoseAnn!!!!!!! We will try to do a longer one next time!!!
Love you two.. You are so much fun to watch..I know the feeling you are talking about when you see something you have to have I get that too..Thank-you for all your sharing..
Thanks for you kind comment Connie! It's nice to know others share that same feeling!!!
So many things out there i want it all! Trying to be good but I’m learning a lot of new places to check out from you all! Love all your finishes. I am a sewer as well and really want to try and maybe make a bag for all my wips instead of purchasing all those bags. :)
I love you two and your videos. I feel like you are my friends...I too work full time and stitch when I get home after the chores are done. I wish for more stitching time! Can't wait for your next video.
Thanks so much Sandra!!!! I confess, I stitch even when the chores are not done. Mental health over chores is my motto!!! But sometimes I behave......
Love you ladies! It really is a joy to see your beautiful work ...both past and present pieces! Keep them coming. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Terri!!!!!!! As you know....we love your work too!!!!!!
Enjoying so much your videos. Love the heart hanging behind you

Well that's handy. My sister and granddaddy both live in Griffin. Maybe we can plan a stitchy day sometime.

Oh my Sunday is complete! Love the fall finishes, prairie schoolers, red samplers and your wips! You girls are so fun to spend time with! Thanks for sharing with us! Have fun and happy stitching!
Thanks so much for your kind compliment!!!!
I so enjoyed all your Fall stitching and punching! I had that checkerbird kit by HIH in that pillow form. I had it handing on my old jelly cabinet. My husband hung a plastic bag on the handle with it. Guess where I’m going with this? Yep. He took the bag to the garbage and I never seen Checkerbird again. I guess it went with the bag. 😞 I love When Witches go riding! Fast stitching! I’m like y’all. I like long videos so that I can stitch while watching. ❤️
Oh no! Husbands:))) Thanks for the sweet words April. Hope you are feeling better.
That is such a sad story!!!!!!!!! I am sorry April!!!! I hope you can stitch it again! Hugs!
Found you both through Carol Saltbox Stitcher and I am so glad I did! Your work is just wonderful! You are both quite the enablers too! LOL
You girls are great!! Happy Stitching Jennifer McMillan
You girls are just the best! Yes, it is hard to stitch (and decorate) for fall when it is 90 degrees outside. This coming weekend myself and three of the peeps are off to SassyJacks for the Bristol Sampler Workshop and lecture. Red sampler wall--yes.
Thanks Betty!!!! I am so jealous of you attending the Bristol Sampler workshop.....I would love, love, love to be there!!!! You are going to have a fabulous time I just know it!!!
You two are the best enablers! Saw the drum by Midnight Stitching (loved it) and almost fell off my chair! Found it-it wasn’t easy, and will stitch it when it comes! Thanks for pointing that design out to me, didn’t know about it till today. Too bad Michigan isn’t affiliated with the color Red then you could say Go Red-you’d be in heaven!
So glad you found the chart Christine!!!!!! Thanks for leaving such a fun comment!
Thanks for another fun video. I love the kitcheny bags since I do love to cook. Those scissors from Paula are adorable!
Hi, I enjoyed watching your floss tube, thank you for the smiles. You had wonderful things to share. I'm hooked on stitching. Happy Stitching!
Thanks Paula!! Glad you are hooked on stitching just like us!
You gals are my new favorite flosstubers! I love what you stitch and love the desire to “stitch all the things!” I’m definitely a collector and a serial starter but it’s totally impractical seeing how old I am. If a finish ten a year I need to live at least to 150! Brenda I’m a huge U of M fan! Makes me happy that you root for the Maize and Blue. Hope they improve from a very poor start. We lived in Ann Arbor for 10 years and in MI for 31. Love your videos and can’t wait for the next one.
Thanks so much Bonnie!!!!! What kind comments you have left for us!!! We all have more stitching than we can do in a lifetime so let's just try to enjoy as much of it as we can!!! And who knows, maybe we will make it to 150!!!!
You ladies are such fun to watch! I replay them over and over to catch designers and references. Looking forward to your next post!
Thank you so much Jean! We sure appreciate you watching!
Turn the blue lights on me!!! I love to do samplers in blues or greens or a variegated thread!! I do have a couple of red samplers that I am going to keep red!! 💘 LOVE LOVE your videos!! I am a SG receiver of the BEAUTIFUL samplers also!! I am originally from South Bend, IN and when I go home I am making a B line to HOUSE OF STITCHE S in LaPorte and I know of small town New Carlisle!! Have a GREAT time at the retreat!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY!!
That is so cool that you are from South Bend and know of New Carlisle!!!! Isn't it just the cutest town? I could definitely live there with no problem. Hope you get to House of Stitches stat!!!!!
I loved all your fall projects you shared! I am currently stitching the PS Miss Fortune . I love those smaller cards. Have another one on order. I also love to stitch samplers done in red. You are both such enablers.
Thanks Kathy!!! We would sure get along well if we had to share our stash!!!!!
Oooooooh goodie....now I need a red sampler! Love you ladies. You two are the best.
You two have become one of my fave flosstubers. Can’t wait for your next video! Beautiful work ... timeless and classic!
Thank you so much Tricia! We sure appreciate your kind words!

I sew enjoy your vlog you two. Inspiring me to work again on a Jacobean sampler I started over 25 years ago. It’s been sitting by my hearth at least that long. Made a booboo and just couldn’t get back at it. I will challenge myself to get at it again. Many thanks!
I hope you can get back to it!!!! Please let us know what happens!!!!!

Love your videos and never too long. Thank you for sharing so much with all of us. Oh, yes, that feeling in the chest, many times!!!! I am going to start a notebook on "The Laws".

Hi Friends ❣️ So happy to spend my morning with you guys. Thank you for all the fun and inspiration. Can’t wait to see you in November!!

I ordered my very first red sampler, I always admired them! Thank you for enabling me❣
Love your videos! Thanks for the shout out for Lucy Calcutt! She is truly a happy sampler with all those colors. I hope you enjoy every stitch!
Thanks Krista!!! The Lucy samplers are so so so divine!!!!!!!
You two are the cutest!! I love your enthusiasm for stitching and I am so inspired by the examples you've shown. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks so much Shelly!!!! We sure would be sad without our stitching! It really brings so much joy!!!
Your passion for our craft shines through with such enthusiasm! I also love your respect for each other and the encouragement you give to one another. Glad you are making videos. You are inspiring and contagious...wonderful!
Thank you so much Laurie....what a beautiful compliment you have paid to us. We sure appreciate your kind words!!!!
The 2 of you are terrible for my wallet! I love seeing the things you've stitched, the samplers you've started, things you want to start....and I want to do them all too! I really have such a good time stitching with you and making a "to stitch" list. Have a fantastic week and happy stitching!
Thanks Frankie!!!!!!!! All of our lists just keep growing and growing.......I guess its a good problem to have!
What an absolute delight. I love you guys. I’m starting from the beginning of your journey and having so much fun ❤️. Sending you my love and prayers from over the pond 💕💕💕💕
Another educational and entertaining video, ladies! I just received Gathering the Greens and Rabbit Hollow Farm Sampler all kitted up from Country Sampler! Such a sweet designs!! Thank you for enabling my spending habits! My husband doesn't thank you, though 😉
Have fun stitching! Country sampler does such a great job of kitting things up! Thanks for watching
Love you ladies! I’m sitting and stitching listening to you both! I’m a frequent flyer at the House of Stitches. I live about 1:30 south..closest LNS to me. I wish I knew that there was a retreat ...darn it anyway! Have fun ladies!
Thanks Denise!!! The retreat is sponsored by Inspired Needle in Lemont, IL. You can get on Cathy's mailing list to hear about the retreat for next year. It is an annual very special event!!! And House of Stitches is a true gem!!!
Thank you for another great video! You two are wonderful!
Thank you for the shoutout. Brenda, I hope you'll enjoy Lucy as much as I did. I'm glad that I decided to hang her two samplers side be side.
Anxiously awaiting your next video.
Thanks for leaving such a nice comment Ellen!! At the Inspired Needle retreat this past weekend we were discussing hanging the Lucy samplers side by side and it is all because of your beautiful stitching and picture on IG!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 At show and tell at Stitcher's Hideaway someone showed Lucy Calcutt, 1825 stitched over one! So wonderful!
I love you girls and your videos. So charming are the two of you. I will be baack for more. Thank you.
Thanks so much Rhonda!!!!!!!
Thank you ladies! I enjoy every minute of your visits and am enthused for more. You share such beautiful eye candy and are such enablers.... I have been following your antics for a long time, not only on IG but, will date myself, also on Laura's blog. Can't wait to hear about your travels!
Thanks so much Patricia!!!! Oh those blog days!! They were such fun weren't they?? However, IG is so much easier. Make sure we are following you on IG...if not, send me a DM!
Love to watch you two. I love the corner gauges but I do what my mom taught me. You can use your index finger because it’s 1 inch between knuckles. Not only is it handy it’s always right in hand. Pardon the pun. Look forward to seeing your next video. Thank y’all for taking the time to make videos.
Thanks Betty!!!! That is great that you can use your hand for the corner measurement!!! Especially because it was taught by your mom!!! You can start a project anywhere, anytime!!!
Girls!!!Love listening to y’all talk about your samplers.So fun!!!!😊
So much fun watching your videos. 🥰
Thanks so much Cheryl!!
Loved your video! You are an inspiration! I just stopped at House of Stitches last Friday on my way to Michigan. Amazing wall of fabric! I was so impressed that I went back on Monday on my way home for more linen. Lovely shop.
Isn't House of Stitches so much fun????!!! I get to go tomorrow and am so excited!!! Thanks for letting us know that you got there!
There were so many gorgeous things in this video that I don’t even know where to start with which one I like the most! But I think the best thing about this video was the TAB!!!!! Can’t wait to see you ladies again soon!
Thanks Dawn!!!! I am drinking a Tab right now as I type this! It is the best!!! Thanks for leaving a comment!
So nice to see you lovely ladies for #3. Your stitching is amazing and so inspiring. Hope you have a wonderful two weeks. Looking forward to #4.
Thanks so much Jeanna!!!!!!
You ladies are such enablers. Love it! Have a great time at the game and retreat. Looking ditto your next video. 😃🌵

You two make my heart sing! Love everything...
That is the sweetest comment Debra!!! Thank you so, so much!!
You two are my new favorites!! I am so glad you are here. Thank you! I am so glad you are addicted 🌼🌼
Thank you for your kind words Stephanie!! We sure appreciate them!
Hello Ladies!! Such an enjoyable video. Have fun at the retreat and the Football game! I have so much to stitch and after watching you ladies, I want to go into my craft room and start everything! Lol! In 1 week I will be going to Dixie Darlin’...Cross Stitch and Crafts...and Sassy Jacks! I hope to bring home a lot of Goodies! Enabled by you lovely ladies 😉...Thank you so much for sharing 💕...until our next visit, I’m wishing you both a great week!
Thanks Mary!!!! Oh boy....you are going to be at two great shops aren't you??? How wonderful! Have a great trip!!!
Thank you for another delightful video, Daleen! It’s always fun to spend time with you...so inspiring and uplifting. I’m slowly, but surely venturing into the world of flosstube and enjoying everyone’s different personalities and preferences for stitching. Fun! Happy Fall from SE Michigan 🍁🍂🎃!
Thank you Mary!
I saw the notification bell that your Vlog was up. I am sicker than a dog with some seasonal gunk, but, ran(?) to the kitchen to make a pot of tea, put on some clean jammies, get myself set up with my lamp and needlework, and Ta-Da there was Brenda and the Serial Starter!!!! 50 minutes later, my tea is gone, I have finished part of a border, written down some ideas on patterns and such (I have started a separate notebook that just has B and SS ideas), and have decided I am going to live to see October 1st and be able to start a red sampler! Thank you! Will miss you, but enjoy next weekend!
Another enjoyable video, thank you ladies. An Academy Award performance! Please take some pictures at the Inspired Needle retreat.
Thank you Victoria!!! I hope you are feeling better!!!!! And ready to start a red sampler tomorrow!!!! Hugs!!
@@ginnywestover643 Thanks Ginny!!!!! I will try to post pics on IG from the retreat!!!
Love your channel and how inspirational it is! You are so right about going to a retreat anytime you can because we learn/share so many ideas that we normally wouldn’t have a chance to. I went to the September Soirée at Sassy Jacks and made such delightful friends!
Thanks Lisa!!! We are envious of your visit to Sassy Jacks!!! Brenda is going next May and is very excited!!!
You girls are the best!! Like you when work gets tough I think about my stitching!! Can’t wait for your next video!!! Have a great week stitching xoxo
Thanks Lynne!!!!!! Glad we do the same thing when work gets tough!
Love your videos and all your works!
Thanks so much Cathy!!!!
We haven't had TAB in Australia for decades! I still miss it to this day, it was the best diet soft drink. Love your floss tube. My best friend Laurel starts and finishes projects, I'm a "serial starter & sometime finisher" looking forward to your next one. Hugs, Maria xxxx
Thanks Maria!!! I am so so sorry that Australia does not have Tab. That is terrible. If there was no Tab I would have to drink Diet Coke. Maybe I would drink more water that way....but until that terrible day comes.....Tab it is. I am glad to meet a fellow serial starter!!!! Glad you have a best friend that stitches!!!!!
