    Love all the pretty stitching - thanks for sharing! My virtual stitching group is going to show-and-tell our desert island charts tonight on zoom. I thought it was an excellent idea.

    Stitch what makes you comfortable and brings you joy is the best saying. You have me thinking about what I would take to a desert island. Really enjoy your updates, you both are so inspiring. I'm not a millionaire but will do my best to make small orders. Loved seeing your older pieces Brenda, they are so precious and have good memories.

    • @brendaandtheserialstarter2410

    @patriciamillar5496 4 роки тому

    Oh dear. I did cross stitch maybe 20 years ago. I was going through some boxes and found some things I did. Then I realized, 🥁.......I’m a serial starter! But wise yet, three or four starts are very small and I have no clue what they are. I’ll be frogging those! My sister introduced me to floss tube so I’m hooked again and I love you two. Cannot wait to see you each week.

    • @brendaandtheserialstarter2410
      @brendaandtheserialstarter2410  4 роки тому

    We voluntarily locked ourselves down at beginning of March. Thank goodness for stash! Funnily, I kitted up My Heart Can Rest right before listening to your video and I was glad to hear Laura loves Winter Brew because that is what I kitted up. PTP Heartland (called for) is not to be found anywhere. Stitching is what gets me up in the morning in these troubled times and a video from you two is a virtual lifeline. Thank you so much!! You are the best!

    • @brendaandtheserialstarter2410
      @brendaandtheserialstarter2410  4 роки тому

      Thanks so much Jill!!!!! Part of me wishes I could be on lock down at home and just stitch all day, but I will just keep thinking that going to work will pay for future stash and retreats! I would pick Winter Brew over Heartland for sure!!! I bet yours looks so beautiful!!! I am sticking with Heartland only because that is what we were given at retreat with that project. Take good care of yourself and happy stitching!!!

    What? NO TAB? So nice of you to come first this week. Really needed your cheery faces weekly! Great stitching and colors! You know, I just cleaned thru 900 patterns and realized how very much my tastes have changed. Whittled it down to a couple of hundred, but probably still too many! Happy and safe week to you both!!

  • @Roberta.SABLEStitchers
    @Roberta.SABLEStitchers 4 роки тому

    Yay bonus video! Thanks for putting in extra time to give us this pick-me-up. My rationale for continuing to spend on cross stitch is that I'm not using as much gas, we aren't eating out and I'm not wearing out my work clothes. Brenda, fun to see your hardanger work! I wasn't brave enough to try it but always admired those designs.

    • @brendaandtheserialstarter2410
      @brendaandtheserialstarter2410  4 роки тому

      Oh great rationalization Roberta!!! I might try that....maybe I could order one thing a month? Hope you are well and stitching a lot!!!

    So good to see you two today. Besides church which we can’t go to these days, I associate Sundays with watching you talk about beautiful stitching and inspiring me to stretch my skill set. So, today I’m going to work on Dear Daughter by Blackbird. I did three of the borders months ago and haven’t been back yo it since. Now would be a good time since my daughter’s birthday is in July. I have to tell you that my husband was nearby looking at his phone and when Brenda said that she could switch endive and camomile he looked up and wanted to know what in the world she was cooking! I assured him that no cooking was involved.🙂

    • @brendaandtheserialstarter2410
      @brendaandtheserialstarter2410  4 роки тому

      @brendaandtheserialstarter2410  4 роки тому

      I wish I would get an urge to clean the whole house and organize.....nope, I just have the urge to stitch and watch TV. Maybe we could do a role reversal??? For like two days? Anyway, I hope that you get your stitching mood back ASAP. Hugs to you Kenda!

    Just finished your video this morning. I had to laugh when ya’ll talked about cutting back on obtaining stash because I got the TALK yesterday! The Hubby just does not know how much I have been resisting these last couple of weeks! Thanks for all you are doing by keeping all our spirits high with your positivity and awesome stitching!

    • @brendaandtheserialstarter2410
      @brendaandtheserialstarter2410  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks so much Robin!!!! Oh, how I hate that talk....but we have to be realistic in these tough times. Thank goodness for stash!!!!!! If I would have known this was coming I would have kitted up every chart I bought! Hugs!

  • @lindioverton5240
    @lindioverton5240 4 роки тому

    Good to see you today. I've been quilting for a couple of years so I have quite a stash of fabric. I decided to do a quilt and it was REALLY nice to be able to go to my stash to join a QAL. I've picked up cross stitch again after a couple of years so I have floss, but not much fabric. Trying to buy a little every few days in March to celebrate my birthday month. Have a great week.

    • @brendaandtheserialstarter2410

    @keepsakestitches7591 4 роки тому

    Thank goodness for the two of you. Always enjoy seeing your charts, your finished items and your plans ahead. It is amazing how a pandemic can change our lives so quickly and our thinking and what we enjoy at this time. It is tough, but I hope we get through it all soon. Laura, the tip on using Niagara magic sizing was my suggestion, I think, that you saw on Facebook. Make sure you get magic sizing and not starch as the sizing is lighter and gives the linen just enough firmness. So happy to have a visit with you both today. I want you to know I am doing my share to help the shops during this time, and I will never live long enough to stitch it all. Take care, be safe and wishing you stay healthy, Hugs, Norma in Boise, ID

    • @brendaandtheserialstarter2410
      @brendaandtheserialstarter2410  4 роки тому

      Thanks so much Norma!!!! I hope I got the magic sizing....I will have to check. Thank you for supporting those shops!!! We all have more than enough to stitch, but we need choices!!! Take very good care of yourself!!! Hugs!

    Hooray! An extra Brenda and Laura episode! So happy!!
    Please be careful on your commutes, ladies. I appreciate that you still have to work, but you are treasures and treasures should be carefully guarded.
    "No, I mean *see* it, like, purchase it!" Oh Brenda, I know just what you mean!
    "Nobody told me you were this talented" sporfle
    I'm so glad you didn't start with samplers. All the older and different pieces show your history and development. Plus they make stitching rooms much more cozy
    "When we do it again *in real life*..."
    Thank you, ladies. *hugs*

    Thank you for the giggles today. It’s been hard to focus on stitching lately. I’m lucky to be able to stay home but too much worry on my mind. So....”what I’ve been into” is kitting and organizing my market haul into my stash. I too placed an additional order to my LNS. Our mini retreat was canceled for April but managed to still shop online. My LNS is the Stitchery Nook in Osage Iowa. It’s two hours away but it’s a sweet little town with a great store. Love you both. Love your videos!

    • @brendaandtheserialstarter2410
      @brendaandtheserialstarter2410  4 роки тому +1

      Taking a two hour drive to Osage sounds so good right now!! Of course, it would be longer than two hours for me and they are probably not open....but just the thought of it makes me so happy!! Glad you are spending time kitting and organizing. Just try to stay in the stitching world in your head as much as possible. That is what we are doing! Sending hugs! Thanks Sue!

You look like seasoned pros this week with the videos! I’ve tried to be a monogamous stitcher like Brenda this week, but alas I’ve been a dual monogamous stitcher, close enough though right? I’ve been working on WTNT Saltbox Quilt Sampler, and Liz Matthews Quilt Tree. I’m starting AH to EE this week by Kathy Barrick because I love all thing Quaker and quilts!!!! Hope you guys have a great week, and here’s hoping we see you next week❤️

    Another fun video, ladies! So glad you are making it work during this crazy time! Thanks Laura for picking up and showing Miss Dickinson :) and I have my Mary Barres chart right next to me ready to order threads too! After seeing Carol's start I was just simply stunned by the beauty of it. Don't know when I can stitch all these beauties and my new ones too but it will be fun to try. It is so important to support the shops right now, especially those without online shops... after I saw your IG for Dyeing to Stitch I rang them right up! and a few other shops too. I am not a millionaire for sure but can order a bit here and there and show my support. We all have to come together during these times. Stay home and stay safe and keep stitching! Thanks for the smiles :)

But still looking at all the back-when-stitched: they are still holding their everlasting Beauty and your work is just magnificent! ❣️

I have to say that Dutch Beauty is one of the samplers I would like to stitch in the next ten years. I am working on And They Sinned by Examplars of the Heart as the first of the older classic samplers I would like to stitch. Thanks as always. Stay safe and well and happy stitching!

    I cannot tell you how excited I was when I got a notification yesterday morning that you put up a video. At that same moment Carol texted me to tell me. Holy moly, we had to race to get ready to watch together. I think my three prison, desert island pieces would be Ann Dale, Consider the Lillies and Jane Tindall. I had better be stranded a long time. ;)

I also loved the Just Nan scissor case and your other projects 😍! Laura, I laughed when you called out those “rich stitchers” to support the needlework stores. I am certain you would be doing so, if you could!

    So lovely to see your faces and enjoy your sense of humour. Interesting how we respond. I have been working on Quakers in Holland, then will do a bit of something else and then come back to Quakers. Really want to finish it. Just have the bottom half of the last 2 houses and the last barge section to go. Be warned. There is a lot of stitching in those houses which is why I got behind in the SAL but I’ve found it quite therapeutic at this time

  • @nevadastitcher
    @nevadastitcher 4 роки тому +2

    I love seeing older finishes even if they are no longer available. The finishing could be done using any pattern. I’ve driven myself crazy looking for things in the past but no more! Any flower motif could be made into a scissors holder. I stitched a lot of Just Nan and Victoria Sampler in the past and I have some waiting to be stitched. I’ve stitched many biscornu and several of Nan’s biscornu. I made a needle book from Emmy Bishop and several things by Sweetheart Tree. As I’ve gotten older I can’t do the fiddley stuff. I can’t concentrate as much because of medicine so have to stitch things that aren’t as detailed and fussy. So good to see you both today! Stay well!!

      @brendaandtheserialstarter2410  4 роки тому +1
