Love all your patterns. Love the patriotic patterns and finishes. Bless Nicole for enabling all the new patterns! I cannot imagine dying the fabric either, but she is always so calm! Hope you have a good rest of your weekend. Take care ladies!
What a fabulous video!!! You’ve made me stitch on patriotic today- so many projects you mentioned I have!!! Thanks for helping me plan my holiday stitching!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
The drawer string bag is gorgeous. I love watching the both of you and look forward to it every week. Stay safe girls. I nearly lost my mind when I saw the pillow by Brenda Gervais with the sheep. j xxx
Thanks for another fun video. Loved all the patriotic designs. The best though is the thought of you two tea dyeing fabric! Hope you have a good stitchy day on Monday. (I will be very glad when the two of you are back together again.)
Great episode , as always! I love all of the patriotic stitching, I gravitate toward it as well. Laura, you are my hero for starting Dutch Beauty ! I have had it kitted for years, and every time I see it in my stash, I think I will start it *next year* . Hope you had a great weekend!
I love your visits! I call them visits because I enjoy the conversation and sharing with us our common love of stitching! I know what you mean Laura about the Indy 500...I live in Indianapolis and this month has been so weird without the festivities moving up to the big day! My family traditionally celebrate race day with a cook-out, pool party and listening to the race on the radio. (my days of the big crowds are over) But the important thing is we are all well and I have stitching and weeding to keep me busy!! Thank you for another wonderful video!
Hopefully they can have the race in August! Yes, Indianapolis must have been so quiet this month....I often dream of spending the month of May in Indianapolis some year so I can go to all the time trials, parade, etc. Sounds like your family has some great traditions Jackie!!!
I loved your Victoria sampler bag,so since posting is not happening brought the PDF,a long term project for me. Another star for me Laura,so some happy stitching ladies.Thanks for the inspiration.
Another great video. Ordered from Dyeing to Stitch based on your recommendation. What a great experience! We chatted for awhile, and the owner was so helpful and friendly. Thank you!
I just can see the two of you dying fabric and having your own line of linen! And the Brenda charting samplers! The future looks bright. Thanks for the visit. Have a great long week of stitching and short week of work.
All your works look great! Brenda, I have done three of the strawberries and finished them with ribbons on top that match the colors in the design. Loving them. I actually have made four as I did one twice but changed the colors. They are so fun to do.
Loved all of your patriotic finishes! You guys are so funny when you say.....oh...that’s a quick stitch 🤣 I think that to until I’m still stitching it three days later! Even though I think I have my list of things to stitch on my days off....I watch you guys and everything goes out the window .....so many lovely things to stitch!! Brenda, I did that big BBD piece with all the sewed together segments as a stitch along with my BBF years ago....it’s such a fun stitch! I did it on one piece ....I can’t be bothered with that cut and sew stuff!!..I’m off to track down those chessie and me designs🤣...thanks for sharing ladies!
Thanks Terri!!!!! There are way too many great things to stitch! I guess that is a good problem to have though. Hope you found the Chessie designs and are happily stitching away!!! Hugs!
I would *pay* to watch y'all dye fabric together. I'm imagining Brenda walking in with one of those rubber aprons and gloves to the elbows :) I am so grateful that you ladies are managing to put together these videos despite all the challenges it provides. You two are the highlight of my week and I am so thankful for you. Please be careful with the state re-opening--I dare you to walk around with hula hoops to keep people distant ;)
Thanks Birdie!! We are getting our hula hoops ready!!!! Don't worry, we will be careful and probably won't go anywhere besides the LNS. Hope you have a good week!!!!!
Another great show.Went to my workroom and pulled out ooh la la!!You two really make me laugh.Hope you realize how fortunate you both are to have stitching partner.
I'm behind in watching your videos, which is every bit as enjoyable as when they are aired!! Now I need to go dig out a project in my patriotic stash to start today! Hope you're both able to get out to your LNS!
Always the best part of my Sunday! Dyeing fabric is fun. I dyed the fabric for my Dutch Beauty. And I for sure need one of those Paris thread keeps! Happy stitching! 😘
Laura, my mom and I went to Spirit of Crossstitch festivals in Iowa in the 1990s as well!! I was living in Papillion NE ( a suburb of Omaha) while hubby was stationed at Offutt. I think we went 3-4 years of the five years we lived there. We would drive over to Des Moinesvand stay in hotels near the convention center. We LOVED that!! We went to one in PA which turned out to be their last one. My mom went with others to sites in CA also. I loved seeing all of the patriotic pieces! I made a lot of needlerolls too, Brenda! I love those Chessie and Me smalls. I don’t recall seeing them until recently though. So easy to overlook things when you are in a crossstitch store- the good old days of browsing and shopping! 😥❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
We only went to one festival...should have gone to more. It really was fun. Now we need to go to Needlework Galleria!!!! Glad you had those great times with your Mom!!! Hugs!
Thanks ladies for another entertaining and enabling video! Have a great week, both of you I like the sampler summer idea...Your patriotic stitching is so inspiring...
Another FANTASTIC FlossTube video! I really enjoyed the salute to patriotic stitching. I really appreciate when you share the fabric details: stitch count, brand, and color name. That information is extremely helpful when you have no LNS to visit. Stay well and stitch on!
Love watching you two on a Sunday night (here in the UK) - it’s my favourite stitchy night! I’ve been eyeing up Summer Jubilee as it was in August 2003 of Just Cross Stitch ...love those colours on dark fabric - a must stitch!
In case you weren’t aware the Feedsacks book is actually part of a series entitled Encyclopedia of Inspiration by Uppercase. She produces about 3-4 every year. They have one - Q for Quilting; S for Stitchillo which has a lot of various forms of stitching, V for Vintage Life which includes old fabrics, antiques, & vintage sewing notions. Just to name a few. I have all of them to date. They are a wonderful read. Great stories, and supporting a micro women owned business. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you thank you!!!!! for another GREAT video!!!!! thoroughly enjoyed as always. Wish I could come and shop with you guys!!!!! Have a great Memorial Day and Bless you both!!!!
I got that book, too Brenda! I actually bought for my mom because she had some feed bag dresses and my grandma made quilts with them. I've decided I need to enjoy it first though...LOL. I thought some of those photos would make cute thread keeps. I may pull out my grandma's quilts and re-visit them. xx
That book looks so cool!!! My Mom saw the video and requested it! The thread keeps that would come out of that book would be darling!!!!! Keep us posted Becky!!!!
Great spending part of my evening with you gals! Patriotic are my absolute favs, right up there with samplers~ Hope you both enjoy your time off, stitch all the things and keep us all smiling with these great videos! ♥️
Love me some patriotic stitching! I started an oldie today while we visited....America the Beautiful but Heart in hand (2002). Have a great week & stitch on!!
Glad to hear you both are well. We’re in phase one but we’re going nowhere near the beach! Enjoyed finishing Hannah Senior and now want to add to my red band sampler. You girls are tempteresses...is that a word?? I am so excited to see your wips. I’m dreaming of a sampler summer at OBX. Anxious to get outta town. Just thankful my stash comforts me...lol. Hope to see you sooner than later.😎
Your Hanna Senior finish is beautiful Angel!!!!!! We are dreaming about visits with stitching friends too....can't wait!!!! And yes, thank goodness for stash that brings us comfort and joy!!! Hugs!
Love to watch you guys!! Brenda, your words to Laura in this episode re not limiting herself spoke to me as well! I see what others are doing re rotations, schedules, etc and think I will try that...knowing full well I won't stick with the plan more than two hours!! So, I finally figured out I just need to do what I want when so want!! Much happier that way...😁
Love patriotic stitching gals☺️ My favorite design is “Summer Jubilee”! I stitched it years ago and it is my favorite design I have ever stitched! I just framed “Summer’s Souvenirs” recently that has been stitched up forever🙃 It’s gorgeous too! Love BBD’s! I love the chart Laura you showed by Paula Stewart💖💖💖 Can’t wait for it to come out next year🥳 I stitched the Shepherd’s Bush scissor fob and it’s just too cute Brenda😊 You will love stitching the mystery sampler! I need to frame mine one day. Thanks for the lovely show🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸& you both enjoy the rest of your weekend😉
Hope you both had a wonderful Memorial Day! What a fun video...knocked it outta the park! So thank you Brenda, I now am on the hunt for Souvenirs of Summer. I haven't been so excited about an out of print book like this...think you have showed other designs from it and oh my word, I love it! Shout out anyone knowing of where I might buy this...please message me! Working on a Stacy Nash, "Summer House Pinkeep" another good patriotic...will share on Instagram when done...don't hold your breath though HA! Love Ya...
I am glad to hear that your state is opening up some. It will be good when the two of you can film together; that has to be more fun for the two of you. I enjoyed seeing a portion of your patriotic patterns and finishes; such fun. I recently purchased two samplers and wondered if either of you have stitched these. They are Reflets de Soie, Jardins Italiens and the other is by Kathy Barrick, Ann Smith, A Quaker Reproduction Sampler. Just wanted to get your input if either of you have stitched these. I hope you both have a good week with having extra days off, and that you both get lots of stitching time to work on all the things! LOL Hugs and happy stitching.............
Thanks so much Pam. I've not stitched either of them but I think I have Ann Smith. I'm not sure if Laura has either of them but she will see this and chime in. Happy stitching
Loved your Patriotic parade!!! Everything was so beautiful. Yes, Souvenirs of Summer is one of my unicorns as well. Hope you have a great week and happy stitching.
Oh a video of you baking the linen would be awesome! That’s the part that scares me the most but I saw Kitten Stitcher has the antique spray so may try that. I was trying to find something patriotic and just got Souvenirs if the Heart by With Thy Needle and Thread. Trying to find the All American Finn whale but seems he is on everyone’s list. I got the Dutch Beauty too, a girl can always dream, someday perhaps. I am doing 40 count as well and with good lighting I have no problem. Laughter is the best medicine and the Attic provides many laughs. You Both do that too, looking forward to more patriotic charts.
Great video, love your wips and the patriotic charts. Not one to do samplers ,but I just received All Joys for Thine by Blackbird kitted by Country Sampler. Thanks so much for your inspiration.
Another fun video. I look so forward to sitting down on Sunday with you. You two are responsible for me getting two long running projects finished as I binged watched FlossTube. I unfortunately found another UFO in a drawer and realized I didn’t like that I followed the directions and used 2 strands of DMC on 35 ct linen. It’s bulky and ugly. I think I will have to unpick the whole thing and start over. It’s about a quarter done. Right now I am trying to channel you two - “What would Brenda and Laura do?”
Thanks so much Anne!!! I would start over on another piece of linen and not pick all that out. Brenda would cut up that piece and throw it away. So whatever you decide, will be fine! Glad you had enough floss tube to watch to keep you entertained!
Brenda and the Serial Starter I decided to unpick. I didn’t have another piece of linen so i just unpicked. Although i could in theory take it off my UFO list as as it would move i to a start pile again. Right? So woohoo! Another one off the list. Now down to 8 to finish. 🙂
Dutch Beauty is gorgeous and definitely on my 'in the next ten years' list! Loved seeing the new fabrics. We are so fortunate to have so many choices! My love for BBD began with that mystery sampler! I am intrigued by the Feedsacks book so will go look that up. I hope you both get an appointment at your LNS. Have a great week!
Ladies, I always laugh with you, besides the beautiful things that you show every time. I'd like to watch a crazy video with you dying some fabrics, hahaha. Also, I've liked the version of done and undone project, and guess what who had the undone version, hahaha. Love you Ladies, Stay Safe, take care, and Happy Stitching. Xoxo. Miriam
I’m hoping to finish Little House Needleworks, Battle Hymn oh the Republic by tomorrow. Great show. Not enough time to stitch everything. Enjoy your time off stitching
Great visiting with you both again! Loved the patriotic parade! I cannot wait to see what you got in your box from Dyeing 2 Stitch! Once you feel you can share, please do!
Thanks Brenda 😂 I just ordered Old Glory kit by Sherpherd’s Bush, from Welcome Stitchery I am not a big patriotic stitcher, it’s different and thats what I like! I may stitch it on a more rustic fabric, thanks ladies for another great video!
Man I would love to know your "stats". Full number of wips, finishes, and patterns bought that are in stash. I love that you are always working on new things. I don't personally like to do that but watching you guys I can live vicariously.
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 I think I am not alone. I don't mind seeing them in charts or pictures. They are just not my favorite things patriotic.
Love all your patterns. Love the patriotic patterns and finishes. Bless Nicole for enabling all the new patterns! I cannot imagine dying the fabric either, but she is always so calm! Hope you have a good rest of your weekend. Take care ladies!
Thanks Linda!!! Yes, Nicole is so inspirational!!!!! Love her videos!!! Happy Stitching!
Thank you. It makes my day to spend time with the 2 of you
Awww...that is so sweet of you to say Lynette!
Loved the patriotic parade! Can’t want for July 4th to see more!! Hope you have a lovely stitching day! Love you ladies!!

Thank you Kathy!!!
Thank you for taking the time to spend time with us! I can’t wait to see you in real life! ❤️❤️
Can't wait for Saturday!!!!

Thank you Bonnie!!!! We will be glad too!!!!
Another batch of beautiful stitching and charts. Thanks for sharing ❤️
Thank you Kay!!
I have been saving your last few episodes so I could binge watch you fine ladies😍😍
Great episode , as always! I love all of the patriotic stitching, I gravitate toward it as well. Laura, you are my hero for starting Dutch Beauty ! I have had it kitted for years, and every time I see it in my stash, I think I will start it *next year* . Hope you had a great weekend!
Thanks Cindy!!! Well, I started it, but then I put it down. Will get back to it. I just cannot seem to stitch on one thing more than a few days!
I love your visits! I call them visits because I enjoy the conversation and sharing with us our common love of stitching! I know what you mean Laura about the Indy 500...I live in Indianapolis and this month has been so weird without the festivities moving up to the big day!

Enjoyed your show, as always! Thanks for the Patriotic reminders. Your wall is lovely. See you next week. 🇺🇸
Thank you Charlene!!!!
Love your video. You both are enablers. Have a great week stitching.
Thank you Kathy!!!!
Thank you for your video. Really enjoyed the Patriotic parade. Take care Ladies, be well, and happy stitching!
Thanks so much Christine!!! You are stitching so many great Maynia projects! Love seeing them on IG!
I loved your Victoria sampler bag,so since posting is not happening brought the PDF,a long term project for me. Another star for me Laura,so some happy stitching ladies.Thanks for the inspiration.
That is wonderful Clare!!!! Have lots of fun stitching that beauty!
Another great video. Ordered from Dyeing to Stitch based on your recommendation. What a great experience! We chatted for awhile, and the owner was so helpful and friendly. Thank you!
Oh that is so great to hear Bunny!!! Talking to Ann is always fun!!!! They will take good care of you!

Coffee and tea dyeing fabric is fun and easy. You girls will have fun. 👍😉
Thanks Karen!!!
Love all those patterns. Thank you Ladies
Thanks Shawn!
Thank you so much for sharing your work and your time!
Thank you Christina!
❤️😊❤️
I just ordered linen for Summer Jubilee. Saw it in an ancient (2003) Just CrossStitch magazine. I love it! Great minds...... great video, ladies! ❤️🇺🇸
That is exciting Dale!!!
Great video! Oh Joyous Day is on my immediate radar. Love love your sampler wall and love the hanging spools on a pillow idea.
Thanks Wendy!!!!! Yes, that spool idea by Brenda was quite amazing!
Thanks for the Patriotic Parade! I have 63 patriotic patterns on my list; some I added from your parade today! Happy Memorial Day!
Woohooo!!! A long list of patriotic is great Tammy!!!!
All your works look great! Brenda, I have done three of the strawberries and finished them with ribbons on top that match the colors in the design. Loving them. I actually have made four as I did one twice but changed the colors. They are so fun to do.
Your strawberries sound beautiful Jill!!!!!
Thank you for a little piece of normalcy in this crazy world.
Thank you Marjo!!!! We definitely need a little break and an oasis which our wonderful stitching always provides. We needleworkers are so lucky!
Loved all of your patriotic finishes! You guys are so funny when you say.....oh...that’s a quick stitch 🤣 I think that to until I’m still stitching it three days later!

I did it on one piece ....I can’t be bothered with that cut and sew stuff!!..I’m off to track down those chessie and me designs🤣...thanks for sharing ladies!
Do you know the name of the BBD piece that was multiple pieces stitched together?
@@gittingsc I think it is called Mystery Sampler. It was in four different charts and is OOP unfortunately.
Thanks Terri!!!!! There are way too many great things to stitch! I guess that is a good problem to have though. Hope you found the Chessie designs and are happily stitching away!!! Hugs!
Christine Gittings it was called 2008 mystery sampler...you got one piece with each of another chart I think
Great video. Thank you so much for the laughs.
Thank you Susan!
I would *pay* to watch y'all dye fabric together. I'm imagining Brenda walking in with one of those rubber aprons and gloves to the elbows :)
I am so grateful that you ladies are managing to put together these videos despite all the challenges it provides. You two are the highlight of my week and I am so thankful for you. Please be careful with the state re-opening--I dare you to walk around with hula hoops to keep people distant ;)
Thanks Birdie!! We are getting our hula hoops ready!!!! Don't worry, we will be careful and probably won't go anywhere besides the LNS. Hope you have a good week!!!!!
Fingers crossed to get out this weekend, enjoy,enjoy,enjoy! Be safe and thanks for the new episode, Long may she wave....Cheers
Thank you so much!!!!
You guys are the best!! Thanks for the fun - you both be safe and well,
Thank you so much Kim!!!
Another great show.Went to my workroom and pulled out ooh la la!!You two really make me laugh.Hope you realize how fortunate you both are to have stitching partner.
Thank you!!! Great book to pull out. And yes, we know how lucky we are!!!!
Thank you for the video. Will be watching for the fabric dyeing video.
Thanks Lisa!! But don't hold your breath on the fabric dyeing. I tried it this week and hmmm....well I will show you on Sunday!
Really enjoy all your videos. Love the patriotic stitches! Thanks very much.
Thank you Elizabeth!
Another great podcast. You two are so wonderful to watch. Thank you for doing these videos!!!
Thank you for your kind words Nancy!!!

Thank you so much for another great video. Had to go to a funeral in lower Michigan and waved to you as I went through the Chicagoland area!!
Well that was nice of you!!! We are waving back now. I am sorry for your loss. Hugs!
Always the best part of my Sunday! Dyeing fabric is fun. I dyed the fabric for my Dutch Beauty. And I for sure need one of those Paris thread keeps! Happy stitching! 😘
Thank you Michelle!!!!!! Hope you get a Paris thread keep stat!!!! That was a lot of fabric to dye for Dutch Beauty!!! Hugs!
Laura, my mom and I went to Spirit of Crossstitch festivals in Iowa in the 1990s as well!! I was living in Papillion NE ( a suburb of Omaha) while hubby was stationed at Offutt.

That is a great play on words Miss Jenny!!!! Thank you!!!
Another FANTASTIC FlossTube video! I really enjoyed the salute to patriotic stitching. I really appreciate when you share the fabric details: stitch count, brand, and color name. That information is extremely helpful when you have no LNS to visit.
Stay well and stitch on!
Thanks Bronte!!! We will try to remember to keep doing that!

I got that book, too Brenda! I actually bought for my mom because she had some feed bag dresses and my grandma made quilts with them. I've decided I need to enjoy it first though...LOL. I thought some of those photos would make cute thread keeps. I may pull out my grandma's quilts and re-visit them. xx

That is exciting Carol!!! Such a beautiful project!!!!! Thank you for watching!!
You two are amazing
Another fun video. I look so forward to sitting down on Sunday with you. You two are responsible for me getting two long running projects finished as I binged watched FlossTube. I unfortunately found another UFO in a drawer and realized I didn’t like that I followed the directions and used 2 strands of DMC on 35 ct linen. It’s bulky and ugly. I think I will have to unpick the whole thing and start over. It’s about a quarter done. Right now I am trying to channel you two - “What would Brenda and Laura do?”
Thanks so much Anne!!! I would start over on another piece of linen and not pick all that out. Brenda would cut up that piece and throw it away. So whatever you decide, will be fine! Glad you had enough floss tube to watch to keep you entertained!
Brenda and the Serial Starter I decided to unpick. I didn’t have another piece of linen so i just unpicked. Although i could in theory take it off my UFO list as as it would move i to a start pile again. Right? So woohoo! Another one off the list. Now down to 8 to finish. 🙂
You two are so funny! Love you guys!
Thank you Karen!!! Hugs!
Dutch Beauty is gorgeous and definitely on my 'in the next ten years' list! Loved seeing the new fabrics. We are so fortunate to have so many choices! My love for BBD began with that mystery sampler! I am intrigued by the Feedsacks book so will go look that up. I hope you both get an appointment at your LNS. Have a great week!
Thank you so much Wanda!!!!!! That is cool how your love of BBD began with the sampler Brenda is going to start soon. Hope you have a great week too!
I always enjoy our visits.
Thanks so much Jacqueline!
Ladies, I always laugh with you, besides the beautiful things that you show every time. I'd like to watch a crazy video with you dying some fabrics, hahaha. Also, I've liked the version of done and undone project, and guess what who had the undone version, hahaha. Love you Ladies, Stay Safe, take care, and Happy Stitching. Xoxo. Miriam
Thank you Miriam!!! Someday I will be the one with the done project and Brenda will be the undone!!! Happy Stitching to you!!!!
Done that, want to do that, wish I had that...repeat! 🤗🥰🇱🇷
Isn't that the truth Kim!!!???? Whenever I watch FT or look at IG that is my refrain!!!!
I’m hoping to finish Little House Needleworks, Battle Hymn oh the Republic by tomorrow. Great show. Not enough time to stitch everything. Enjoy your time off stitching
Thanks Ida!!! Did you finish? That is a beautiful project!!
Brenda and the Serial Starter yes I did get it done on Monday
Love seeing all the patriotic stitching! xx Michele
Thank you Michele!!!!!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a coffee/tea dye video!! Preferably Live!!!!😄😂
Really enjoyed the patriotic parade! Have a wonderful holiday weekend!
Thank you Nancy!!!
thanks ladies, awesome
Thank you for watching!!!
I love the Patriotic designs. Of course I have stitched alot of the ones you showed.
That is great that we are on the same page Darleen!!!!
Great visiting with you both again! Loved the patriotic parade! I cannot wait to see what you got in your box from Dyeing 2 Stitch! Once you feel you can share, please do!
Thanks Jodi!!!! Yes, as soon as we feel like everyone has their box we shall share!!!
Thanks Brenda 😂 I just ordered Old Glory kit by Sherpherd’s Bush, from Welcome Stitchery I am not a big patriotic stitcher, it’s different and thats what I like! I may stitch it on a more rustic fabric, thanks ladies for another great video!
That is such a beautiful project!!! Glad you got it from Welcome Stitchery too!!!! Thanks Lynnette!
Summers souvenir, love it.
It's a masterpiece!
Beautiful ladies!
Thank you Phyllis!
So much great inspiration! I’m going to start a Blackbird piece from the Sweet Liberty book tomorrow 👏🏻👏🏻💕😍
That is exciting Patricia!!! Every design in that book is so good!
I was struggling to get in the patriotic spirit, thank you so much for the push! Enjoying you ladies as always!
That is so nice that we helped Janet!!!! Hugs!
You won over watching the Indy 500 special. Listened to the Mayo Clinic doctors sing and switched to yours. Enjoyed your video!
Thank you!!!! Yes, I saw that and for some reason I just couldn't take it....just not right now.
Man I would love to know your "stats". Full number of wips, finishes, and patterns bought that are in stash. I love that you are always working on new things. I don't personally like to do that but watching you guys I can live vicariously.
We cannot bear to add up those stats....although Brenda has a much much better completion ration than I do. Much better!!!!
Fantastic video as always. You girls cost me money every week! I just can't help myself.
So true!
ooopssss!!!! Sorry about that! We can't help ourselves either. It is a vicious cycle!
Loved all the patriotic stitching! Brenda- I am with you on eagles and Lady Liberty, so don't feel alone in that.
That is interesting Diana!!! I wonder if there are more of you??? Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 I think I am not alone. I don't mind seeing them in charts or pictures. They are just not my favorite things patriotic.
Another great video girls! I love your patriotic choices. This whole video was a H&H video 😂
Thanks dear!!!!!! H&H!!! Fun!
Really love our Sunday visits!
Thanks so much Desiree!
