You two are the best. watching your show is like visiting with old friends. So, thank you very much for sharing your beautiful stitching, your gifts, ideas and haul. See you in a couple of weeks - take care of yourselves.
Girls thanks for sharing your haul and gifts. Sooo many people love you .Hope you can share more needlework next time. Brenda, fingers crossed that your scan will show nothing! You have been so brave and so positive.... a role model for us all. Birthday week for me so let’s get this party started! I’ve been celebrating for a month!
LOL on the WAWA bag! My husband worked in one in Eastern PA in high school. Love all the things, thanks for doing these videos so often. Enjoy every minute!
Hello from Michigan :-D Brenda and Laura I want you two to know that you have inspired me to get back into stitching again. I have found my self binge watching you two and stitching away. I absolutely love your stash!! You both make such a great team and I just love your videos. God bless you both!
You two are such enablers. I watch some of your video and then stop it and shop. Yikes! It's a good thing you only film every two weeks. Big grin here. It is also nice that you film on opposite Sundays from Carol, Saltbox Stitcher. The three of you are my idols. Thank you, thank you!
You are very wise to have stockpiled the linen. There are so many that are out of stock when I go to order. Your stitching is beautiful. Laura is getting lots accomplished. She may have to change to The Serial Finisher.
My deepest condolences, Laura. With its perky pink can, understated lettering, and fun fizz, Tab will truly be missed. Thank you both for another wonderful video and beautiful stitching. Stay safe, Ladies.
I so enjoy your floss tubes but again, they are not often enough. I had to save this one until the day after the election because I knew I would need to fall into something so fun and enjoyable. Keep it up and if ever you feel the need to add more don't let me stop you!
Laura so sorry for the death of your Tab !!! You pulled thru with wonderful stitching in your grief . Brenda such cute vintage and Love the stash, sweet kindness and wips. Great visiting and Have a Great stitchy week ahead.
Always an uplifting joy watching your videos, thank you for sharing your stitching love! Of course a few enabling moments happened, no shame whatsoever!! Happy stitching see you next time!
I hope you both know how much your videos mean to those of us who don't have local stitchy friends to 'hang out' with. You've given us the opportunity to know what it feels like to go over to a friends house to stitch. It's lovely ... thank you so much.
My sincere condolences Laura. Thank you both for sharing all the wonderful projects to tempt and tantalise us. My want to do list just grew exponentially, I love stitching Christmas.
So enjoyed our time together. I enjoy stitching and watching you both and your stitching. Thanks for an hour of just concentrating on something that brings you comfort. Have a great couple of weeks. See you next time.
I love your Feast of Friendship, Brenda, it is gorgeous!! I hope to stitch it someday. Laura, I love yours too - so gorgeous!! I am a Cherry Coke drinker so I sympathize with you Laura, as I would hate to not have my CC - I might just go to bed too and then need stitching therapy. I love Laura’s “year of stupid”!! And I hope you wear knee pads when you crawl through ground glass!! LOL. You two bring so much joy to all of us. Hugs to you both and happy stitching. Blessings......................
I also thought of you Laura, when they made the Tab announcement, so sorry. You have some cute finishes Laura. "The Maturity" :) I love your past finishes and immediate radars Brenda. Love those Acorns & beautiuful box you both received. Marilyn
Wonderful video! Laura super finishes...Christmas stitching is good for the soul...what wonderful gifts you received, stitching community is the best🤗♥️ have a great couple weeks look forward to seeing Brenda’s Feast of Friendship...
Thank you for all your positive thoughts and sharing your love of stitching. I always love spending time with you both and look forward to each episode.
Ladies, please know how much I enjoy your videos and what a wonderful world of new charts you’ve opened for me. I consider many things now I wouldn’t have considered a couple of months ago. Your love of stitching and friendship are infectious. My heart thanks you - my bank account, not so much. Keep stitching!!!
I watched your interview ladies and found it to be so delightful! Your thoughtful and genuine response were a healing balm to my soul! My pocketbook.....well not so much! Please don’t stop sending your love of stitching out into the world......you have brought me such joy and I am looking forward to watching all of your videos!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. I enjoy them so much! You are both so lovely and I love seeing your projects and your stash. Lots of love to you both!
Thanks for another episode of fun. Such beautiful eye candy, I always enjoy the laughter too. Laura, I feel bad about your Tab going away, I hope you are searching every local store for any leftovers. I know the soda companies are having trouble getting the artificial sweeteners and only use them for the most popular drinks. So we are having trouble getting the caffeine free Diet Coke. No tab, adding insult to injury in 2020! You need to get some floss holders or needle minders with Tab on them, although it might be a constant reminder.😀
Our sincere condolences about Mr. Tab. ☹️ Still here, and watching all your stitching.. and videos- we still love and appreciate your videos... and all the stitching goodies. We hope you will make it through this difficult time, and find yourself another great and healthier beverage relationship. Our sincere regards love Jen and Fred in Canada. 😊
Wow so many beautiful stitches! I too am in the mood for Christmas stitching, especially because I have been listening to Christmas Carols😀 Love watching you two always ❤️
Fun, Fun video! I truly Laughed out Loud....I will crawl thru ground glass!! You two could produce a book of cross stitch rules and sayings! ‘None of that funny business.’ 🤣
Hi Brenda and Laura! I started the video today and within seconds, I had to pause it - I didn’t have my notebook and pen ready and there was already something I had to jot down! As usual, I have two plus pages of notes! I’m so appreciative of the info you share and I just drool over all the charts and projects you show! Gosh, if I was single, I don’t know if I could afford to eat after I bought everything you showed,lol! But thankfully (?) I have a hubby who keeps tabs of the spending, or I’d be a hungry gal 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Wow, Laura, you were a busy lady these past couple of weeks! Love everything you two shared. Have a wonderful couple of weeks!
Thanks Brenda and Laura for the smiles you gave me this Monday morning. It is so much fun to see what you have stitched and what you are hoping to stitch. There never seems to be enough time to fulfill that wish list even when you are retired like me. Yet you both get a lot done and inspire those of us that are a little on the lazy side. Your purchases are fun to see also and I love how you support small businesses. Wishing you happy stitching! ❣️🥰
First, thank you again for another great video, and Laura, i don’t drink it, but I feel your pain for the lost of Tab....however....you always have NW and samplers. And, samplers are part, if I may say that, of my heritage...but from time ago, queens ago....but my list, with your help is increasing faaaaast. Now I have a question, you don’t have to respond but I have curiosity....what do you do with all that wonderful threads when you finish a sampler, do you reuse it....or keep it with the sampler to which it belongs?.
Read in the Wall Street Journal that Coca Cola was going to stop making Tab and I thought of Laura and our financial advisor. Hope you can find something you enjoy as much. Loved seeing all of your stitching...can always count on a good dose of inspiration from you both.
I am so sorry about your Tab. My Grannie Nettye (Pernettia Jane) always drank Tab. It's a memory back in the 50's when I was a wee one and would go to stay the night. You both are jewels and you bring a treat to Sundays. Thanks always for sharing yourselves and your beautiful stitching.
I feel for you and your Tab. I don't know what I would do if they took my Diet Pepsi away!! Another wonderful video from the both you! You two rock my world Don't know what I do without you!
Thank you so much Tina!!!! I think you are safe with the Diet Pepsi!!!! Happy Stitching! Hope we can see each other at Inspired Needle again sometime in 2021!
Impressive trunk show ladies! Love the stockings Laura and the floss rats nest. Brenda, the Mill Hill perforated paper finishes are wonderful. You two should open up a LNS called “No Funny Business Samplers”. I’d shop there. The Hope Sampler with the verse about stitching instead of doing anything else is point on. Loved your haul as always and as always I headed over to Kitten Stitcher and ordered a chart. Sorry about the Tab.....another casualty of 2020. You both have a great week. Blessings and take care.
I so look forward to your Flosstube ladies! I share my weekends with my delightful grandchildren, a 6 yr. old and 4 year old twins. After a busy 10 hour day of keeping up I lay down, on the heating pad, with my iPad propped up on a pillow on my chest and relish being in your company. Then BAM! The iPad smacks me in the face! Abruptly awakened I say “Oh no! What did I miss! So I re-start the show. I am the Serial Re-starter! Finally I give up and look forward to morning coffee and our time together. Thank you for sharing your time together with us. Someday I may even try stitching a sampler!
Thanks for such a great video and all of Laura's finishes. Way to go! Brenda you are so funny with your lowered voice and cute remarks. Ladies you make my Sundays special every other week. Thank you.
I saw Mindy this weekend and she told us about her encounter with you. She is doing a beautiful job on both pieces and the Kindred Spirits piece is just gorgeous! You made her day.
So if both Laura and Brenda are stitching Feast of Friendship it looks like we all should be stitching it! I hope Laura can stitch without her Tab. Brenda, I can’t stop drooling over your original Elizabeth Hunter. I just started stitching it and I’m loving it. Thanks for the inspiration ladies!!
Laura, feel your pain on loss of Tab, but look how much you got done! Would love to see an episode of whips from both of you, maybe an end of year special. Start working on it now. Happy stitching
Wonderful finishes and wips. I need to get on friendship harvest. Its lovely. Thanks for visiting and enabling. Lol i cracked up on that Eileen Bennett verse.
Enjoyed your video, as always! I always end up running out and purchasing things after watching you! 😆 You always show the best stuff! Thanks for sharing! (And I'll totally admit that the FIRST thing I thought of when I saw the news story about Tab being discontinued was Laura. LOL. She is synonymous with Tab!)
OMGosh....I just left my local Publix supermarket and what did I see? Cases and cases of TAB!!! If you could just come down to Jacksonville, FL for a visit you could stock up!! I have lots of TAB stories including being a can of TAB for Halloween years ago! I enjoy watching you two so keep up the good work!
Hi ladies another wonderful visit today you both really inspire me so much I just want to stitch all the things I just finished Liz Mathews Quaker pumpkin and I really enjoyed it I hope to get some Christmas things done next pg I would love in the new year to get a chance to do some of the things you have done I have a list as long as my arm thank you so much for sharing you make me so happy when I get to work with you and yes Laura I love the long ones too and all the haul we are back in lockdown here in ireland and to be honest think it may continue over Christmas so you are lifesavers to many people we really appreciate you ❤️Angela in ireland 🇮🇪🙃
Well holy cow. 🐮❤️ I am tickled that you are pleased with your order and Krista’s beautiful sampler! Thank you. Now I know that you’re THAT Brenda...... 😂😂😂thank you so very much for the kind words and wonderful shout out for the shop, it is very much appreciated.
Great video. Love all the charts you ladies have. You are both so sweet and kind and I look so forward to watching your videos. I hope you have a great week and happy stitching!
Lovely video and haul. Stitch kindness is awesome. Interview was great. I changed my linen 3 times with Lucy Calcutt, laws trying to stitch on 40 count and the white which is a dominant color wasn’t showing up at all. Put it away and recently got the called for linen and going to use 2 threads for the white. WaWa and Sheetz are big around here in Northeast PA. Sorry Brenda but it’s a Go Penn State house here and we were very sad this past Saturday. But so glad they are back playing.
I’m in front of the big TV, with my chai tea and my animal crackers and I’m watching my 2 favorite stitching gals. All is right with the world. Great episode ladies.
Congrats on your finishes Laura! My sister is a die hard Tab drinker too. I thought of the both of you when I heard the news. What great projects you ladies have lined up! Happy stitching!
Thank you for the shout out to 3 Stitches in Spring, TX. They are our only LNS in Houston area and the owner Pam has taken care of her stitchers for 25 years. Great store. So wonderful of you! ❤️❤️
Well Pam sounds like a wonderful shop owner!!!! Thank you again Susan for telling us about the shop and gifting us those wonderful tomatoes and kit! That was so very thoughtful of you! Hugs!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 I thought I sent two kits, but looks like I only enclosed one. Will drop another in mail tomorrow. You can gift. ❤️ You and Laura bring a great deal of comfort and happiness to thousands of people. That is what we call her in Texas “high cotton” life. ❤️👌
Really cute charts, nice pillows, cool chart stand. . I am not too thrilled sometimes with my color changes. I’m holding off 1 more week to begin my Christmas charts. That LNS in Spring TX, 3 Stitches is on my list, heard it is very nice, lots of fabric choices in stock. And awww Bummer that Tab isn’t going to be made/sold soon, Stock Up!!!!
Well, THANK YOU. I have a big list for traditional stitches and the attic....just finish watching you interview with Sambrie......while a list of undone house chores keeps increasing.....thank you.
Thank you for the video! The Tab debacle really sent Laura in a tail spin 😂 what wonderful finishes you have! I absolutely love Brenda’s closet finds! Great haul and gifts too. Get stitching girls, the holidays are right around the corner...let’s get 2020 in our rear view mirror 😄
I, too, ordered Caroline’s holiday kit. Everything is so beautiful! Laura, my condolences on TAB kicking the bucket. How rude of Coke to do that! Thank you once again for the entertaining video. It’s always a pleasure when you ladies are on. Have a wonderful week!
Love your videos and that coo koi clock every time it makes me giggle. Beautiful stitching both of you as always and congrats Laura on all your finishes jx
So enjoy our bi-monthly visits. I remember when Tab first came out. The bottles were kind of textured, with little yellow “stars” on them. Gave up Pepsi for Tab. We LOVE WAWA! Our boys served in the navy on the east coast (oldest is still there). WAWA was always a stop we made in VB. It was the go-to place for coffee. Last year I collected (with permission) huge acorns in front of our local Olive Garden. I got all the stuff to felt some acorns...still sitting on the shelf. Guess I’d better put a wiggle in it and get some made before Thanksgiving. We have a yard full of tiny acorns, but I like the big acorn caps. I need to get some major stitching done on Coming To America. Have a great stitchy week.
Thanks Jo!!!!!! Those Tab bottles were so beautiful!! I remember hauling them back to the grocery store! Glad to bring your Wawa memories to the forefront! and Yes, get going on those acorns!!
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much Brenda and Laura for your support of my notebook! I am stitching on Bouquet 1813 kit from Kitten Stitcher when you held up the book! 💗❤️💗 I hope you enjoy it and it helps keep track of all the beautiful samplers you are both stitching.
Crawl through grounded glass 😳😄😄 I am so sorry about your TAB 😔 I was able to find Noel Sampler on Etsy but thought I seen it on countrystitches.com after I had ordered mine. Thank you for the tip on the red and white for the girl. I am wanting to start those too!! We are also enjoying having football on, our Mountaineers have been playing 😀 the NFL we just have on for background 😀 Thank you ladies so much!!! I look forward to your videos ❤❤
I always look forward to seeing you two, I enjoy your company and laughs you share, along with the never ending goodies! That cuckoo clock kills me every time. 😂 Thanks so much for all you do. 🧵❤️
I feel for you with the Tab! I like my caffeine cold and carbonated too, although my preference is Cherry Coke Zero, which they haven't discontinued, but is very hard to find right now due to the aluminum shortage, so I've been making do with Diet Coke.
Hi Ladies!! Laura, you’re turning in to the Serial Finisher now! Love the piece you’ve been stitching on, Brenda! Have a great two weeks of stitching and Happy Fall!! 🍂🦔🍁🦉🍂🐌🍁🐿💛🤎🧡🇺🇸🇺🇸
I added 3 Stitches to my place to visit as I will be there over Thanksgiving. My daughter and sister live nearby so perhaps I can give them gift ideas🤣. Loved your interview.
Hi from South Africa! Enjoy seeing your beautiful stitching!! Feast of Friendship ... want to buy this for my birthday as a gift from my hubby ... but cant find a PDF anywhere sadly as shipping of a kit is not an option due to the cost. Hopefully I will find where I can buy one soon ... it really beautiful! Look forward to seeing yours completed! You two ladies, your stitching is gorgeous.
Congratulations on Michigan winning. It was a heartbreak for us as the Gophers had such a great year last year. We kept switching to the World Series and back. Thank you for sharing all of your new stitching kindness. Guess I will go and shop!
Love the both of you...thanks so much for the stitching company and of course the enabling..you cant imagine how much your happy attitude helps as we are homebound..stay safe and happy stitching Cheers!
Thanks for another great video! Brenda , loved seeing all of your immediate radar samplers! ...Laura, way to go on all of your Christmas finishes...keep going my friend! When I see you ladies show all the beautiful things...I get so excited...and then I start thinking ’ about all the stuff I have kitted that I COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT...lol....and then I have to control myself...only so much time .....never enough time ...but at least if I can’t stitch them all myself I can enjoy seeing your finished pieces. 😊
Sorry for the loss of Tab for you Laura. Congrats to you Brenda for finishing the Noel sampler. On one of your recent videos you answered some questions people had. One person asked for a suggestion of a sampler with a house and church. I saw a Hands Across the Sea sampler called Ann Roberts that had a house and church. Hopefully the person with the question sees this comment. Also hopefully it is still available. Thank you for all the joy you bring to me and others.
My sympathies on the demise of Tab, Laura. it's nothing less than tragic! Great video. Thank you both for sharing! Loved seeing the Abecedarian Loose Feathers project. I've been watching your older videos and was horrified to hear about Brenda's 'recycling' activities. I have an idea for you both. If you decide to cut off a piece of stitching that you don't like, it would be great if you would keep it in a drawer somewhere and then gift it at Christmas! I don't have an LNS so can't see the different colors of fabrics in person. So, even having a little snippet of fabric would be great fun to receive. Anyway! love you both and just thrilled to watch your videos. You really make my day!! Jean
It must be Sunday because my favorite two are on flosstube today!!!! Laura, I don’t like coffee either, I have to have Diet Pepsi every morning. Wonderful podcast, love both of your feast of friendship projects and of course, everything else your working on!!!
Laura, I heard the Tab announcement the other day and thought immediately of you! I was an avid drinker of Tab back in the 70's but haven't drunk much of it since. When I first saw you drinking it, I was amazed to realize it was still available. It certainly hasn't been advertised much in recent years so it's no surprise its market share dropped off. Sorry for your loss!
You ladies are the biggest enablers that I have ever watched! Love you gals! Ok so you have gotten me hooked on Blackbird. Where can you find a complete list of all the Blackbird charts? I have not gotten all of your videos watched yet, but working on it daily. I find that I am watching you more than stitching. Love your energy, love for stitching and each other. You make me laugh, drool and spend money. I appreciate your time and effort to put these videos together. I am learning so much from you about fabrics, floss and color. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with newbies. I can't put into words my appreciation for the things I am learning from you. I do not have a LNS or any other stitchers near me, so I am self taught. Can't wait for my daily fix tonight.
Thank you so much Vicki!!! Loved reading your comments. I don't know of a complete list of BBD charts! If I come across one we will be sure to show it on our floss tube. Your comments are so kind and we appreciate them. Glad that you love stitching too!!
Laura I am so sorry about the TAB😫 I used to have a bad habit of Diet Pepsi, but the aspartame started causing medical problems... I now drink Pepsi with real sugar and I have loved it from the first sip. The urge to stab something besides fabric will ease up in time just be strong.
Laura so sorry to hear the news about TAB! Just gut wrenching! I look forward to you both every two weeks. Thanks for showing all your whips. Looking forward to starting Christmas stitching. Take care.
Wawa is a town in Pennsylvania, perhaps an hour from Philadelphia. It is a Native American word for Canadian geese. They began as small markets, not attached to gas stations. They expanded into Maryland and Virginia about 15 years ago.
Oh Laura I wondered how you would take the Tab news 😢🤗. As always your stitching is beautiful and your someday plans. I so enjoy your videos I hope I can get to be as smooth as you guys when I am filming mine. Blessings stitchy friends
Thanks Dear!!!!!!!! I think it is much easier to be "smooth" when there are two people as opposed to being a solo floss tuber!!! So don't worry about it at all....just do your thing! Hugs!!!
You two are the best. watching your show is like visiting with old friends. So, thank you very much for sharing your beautiful stitching, your gifts, ideas and haul. See you in a couple of weeks - take care of yourselves.
Girls thanks for sharing your haul and gifts. Sooo many people love you .Hope you can share more needlework next time. Brenda, fingers crossed that your scan will show nothing! You have been so brave and so positive.... a role model for us all. Birthday week for me so let’s get this party started! I’ve been celebrating for a month!

You are very wise to have stockpiled the linen. There are so many that are out of stock when I go to order. Your stitching is beautiful. Laura is getting lots accomplished. She may have to change to The Serial Finisher.
Прикольные тетки. Скупили весь местный рукодельный магазинчик.
My deepest condolences, Laura. With its perky pink can, understated lettering, and fun fizz, Tab will truly be missed. Thank you both for another wonderful video and beautiful stitching. Stay safe, Ladies.
Thank you so much Bunny!!!!!!!!
You both make my day, you two are the best stash enhancers. Beautiful finishes Laura! Brenda, your wall behind you is so inspiring!
I so enjoy your floss tubes but again, they are not often enough. I had to save this one until the day after the election because I knew I would need to fall into something so fun and enjoyable. Keep it up and if ever you feel the need to add more don't let me stop you!

Thank you Janet!!!!! I hope that as soon as the world returns to normal that you find some people to stitch with!!! Hugs!
My sincere condolences Laura. Thank you both for sharing all the wonderful projects to tempt and tantalise us. My want to do list just grew exponentially, I love stitching Christmas.
I too am so so happy Scott Dixon is the indy champion this year! Again thanks for sharing
So enjoyed our time together. I enjoy stitching and watching you both and your stitching. Thanks for an hour of just concentrating on something that brings you comfort. Have a great couple of weeks. See you next time.

Can't help myself they make me happy 😊

Thank you Debra!!!!
@@isabelwear4158 Thanks Isabel! We both save leftover threads to use in other projects! Back on the big floss ring of stash threads it goes!
I'll have to live to be 400+ to stich all the things!!! Love seeing what's on your radar!!
Thanks Bonnie!! We all need an additional 500 years!!!
Another great video. Thank you for sharing. Happy stitching!
Thanks ladies. Always a good day when you show up!
Read in the Wall Street Journal that Coca Cola was going to stop making Tab and I thought of Laura and our financial advisor. Hope you can find something you enjoy as much. Loved seeing all of your stitching...can always count on a good dose of inspiration from you both.

Thanks for such a great video and all of Laura's finishes. Way to go! Brenda you are so funny with your lowered voice and cute remarks. Ladies you make my Sundays special every other week. Thank you.
I saw Mindy this weekend and she told us about her encounter with you. She is doing a beautiful job on both pieces and the Kindred Spirits piece is just gorgeous! You made her day.
She made my day!!!!!! It was so fun picking out things with her!!!!! Hope to do it again someday!
So if both Laura and Brenda are stitching Feast of Friendship it looks like we all should be stitching it! I hope Laura can stitch without her Tab. Brenda, I can’t stop drooling over your original Elizabeth Hunter. I just started stitching it and I’m loving it. Thanks for the inspiration ladies!!
Laura, feel your pain on loss of Tab, but look how much you got done! Would love to see an episode of whips from both of you, maybe an end of year special. Start working on it now. Happy stitching
Wonderful finishes and wips. I need to get on friendship harvest. Its lovely. Thanks for visiting and enabling. Lol i cracked up on that Eileen Bennett verse.
Isn't that verse hilarious!!! Thank you Patti! Yes, get on the Feast of Friendship!!
Enjoyed your video, as always! I always end up running out and purchasing things after watching you! 😆 You always show the best stuff! Thanks for sharing!
(And I'll totally admit that the FIRST thing I thought of when I saw the news story about Tab being discontinued was Laura. LOL. She is synonymous with Tab!)
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!! and thank you for thinking about me when you heard the dastardly news about Tab! Hugs!
So enjoyed your Christmas immediate radars!! We so need more time for our hobby!! Have a wonderful week!! ❤️
You know what else we need???????? Time to stitch together! It better happen in 2021! Love you!
OMGosh....I just left my local Publix supermarket and what did I see? Cases and cases of TAB!!! If you could just come down to Jacksonville, FL for a visit you could stock up!! I have lots of TAB stories including being a can of TAB for Halloween years ago! I enjoy watching you two so keep up the good work!
3 Stitches is my local LNS - I visit every week after your video to buy my stash ❤️. So enjoy you ladies 🥰
That is fabulous Sheryl!!!!!! Love a good LNS!!!!!

Caroline!! Your bags are truly wonderful and we will always send people your way!!! Hugs!
Great video. Love all the charts you ladies have. You are both so sweet and kind and I look so forward to watching your videos. I hope you have a great week and happy stitching!
Lovely video and haul. Stitch kindness is awesome. Interview was great. I changed my linen 3 times with Lucy Calcutt, laws trying to stitch on 40 count and the white which is a dominant color wasn’t showing up at all. Put it away and recently got the called for linen and going to use 2 threads for the white. WaWa and Sheetz are big around here in Northeast PA. Sorry Brenda but it’s a Go Penn State house here and we were very sad this past Saturday. But so glad they are back playing.
OMG! My grandkids call me WaWa! And I work for a trucking company that hauls produce for Harris Teeter! You girls and made my day!
Wawa!!!! That is so a Pennsylvania thing! How cool is that! They make the best sandwiches
Great video ladies!! Love watching you!
I’m in front of the big TV, with my chai tea and my animal crackers and I’m watching my 2 favorite stitching gals. All is right with the world. Great episode ladies.
I love animal crackers!!!!!!! Gotta get some soon!!!!!!! Thank you for your sweet comment Laurie!!
Congrats on your finishes Laura! My sister is a die hard Tab drinker too. I thought of the both of you when I heard the news. What great projects you ladies have lined up! Happy stitching!
Enjoyed you two again today. You are enablers!!!!!! Sorry Laura for the loss of your favorite Tab.
Thank you for the shout out to 3 Stitches in Spring, TX. They are our only LNS in Houston area and the owner Pam has taken care of her stitchers for 25 years. Great store. So wonderful of you! ❤️❤️
Well Pam sounds like a wonderful shop owner!!!! Thank you again Susan for telling us about the shop and gifting us those wonderful tomatoes and kit! That was so very thoughtful of you! Hugs!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 I thought I sent two kits, but looks like I only enclosed one. Will drop another in mail tomorrow. You can gift. ❤️ You and Laura bring a great deal of comfort and happiness to thousands of people. That is what we call her in Texas “high cotton” life. ❤️👌
I am so impressed Laura! Definitely the serial finisher! You two are my favorite on floss tube. Thank you for all the hard work you put in each show❣️
Thank you so much Cathy!!!! Hugs!
Thanks for another enjoyable video.
Really cute charts, nice pillows, cool chart stand. . I am not too thrilled sometimes with my color changes. I’m holding off 1 more week to begin my Christmas charts. That LNS in Spring TX, 3 Stitches is on my list, heard it is very nice, lots of fabric choices in stock. And awww Bummer that Tab isn’t going to be made/sold soon, Stock Up!!!!
Thanks Dee!!!!!! I bet you are getting ready to start with those Christmas charts soon!!!!
Well, THANK YOU. I have a big list for traditional stitches and the attic....just finish watching you interview with Sambrie......while a list of undone house chores keeps increasing.....thank you.
Thank you for the video! The Tab debacle really sent Laura in a tail spin 😂 what wonderful finishes you have! I absolutely love Brenda’s closet finds! Great haul and gifts too. Get stitching girls, the holidays are right around the corner...let’s get 2020 in our rear view mirror 😄
I, too, ordered Caroline’s holiday kit. Everything is so beautiful! Laura, my condolences on TAB kicking the bucket. How rude of Coke to do that! Thank you once again for the entertaining video. It’s always a pleasure when you ladies are on. Have a wonderful week!
Thank you so much!!!!!!! Yes, very rude of Coke! And so glad you ordered the holiday kit from Caroline!!! She does such a great job every time!
I need to stop binge watching your videos! My wallet is needing to go on lockdown! Love your videos. 💗
Love your videos and that coo koi clock every time it makes me giggle. Beautiful stitching both of you as always and congrats Laura on all your finishes jx
You ladies make my every other Sunday happy! I truly love watching you as stichers, as friends, and genuinely nice people! Thank you.
Thank you so much Pam!!! That is very kind of you to say and we appreciate it! Hugs!
Hi ladies. Loved all the goodies.
🤗 Thank you ladies, always enjoy spending time with you both! Take care .
So enjoy our bi-monthly visits.
I remember when Tab first came out. The bottles were kind of textured, with little yellow “stars” on them. Gave up Pepsi for Tab.
We LOVE WAWA! Our boys served in the navy on the east coast (oldest is still there). WAWA was always a stop we made in VB. It was the go-to place for coffee.
Last year I collected (with permission) huge acorns in front of our local Olive Garden. I got all the stuff to felt some acorns...still sitting on the shelf. Guess I’d better put a wiggle in it and get some made before Thanksgiving. We have a yard full of tiny acorns, but I like the big acorn caps.
I need to get some major stitching done on Coming To America. Have a great stitchy week.
Thanks Jo!!!!!! Those Tab bottles were so beautiful!! I remember hauling them back to the grocery store! Glad to bring your Wawa memories to the forefront! and Yes, get going on those acorns!!
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much Brenda and Laura for your support of my notebook! I am stitching on Bouquet 1813 kit from Kitten Stitcher when you held up the book! 💗❤️💗 I hope you enjoy it and it helps keep track of all the beautiful samplers you are both stitching.
Crawl through grounded glass 😳😄😄
I am so sorry about your TAB 😔
I was able to find Noel Sampler on Etsy but thought I seen it on countrystitches.com after I had ordered mine.
Thank you for the tip on the red and white for the girl. I am wanting to start those too!!
We are also enjoying having football on, our Mountaineers have been playing 😀 the NFL we just have on for background 😀
Thank you ladies so much!!! I look forward to your videos ❤❤
I always look forward to seeing you two, I enjoy your company and laughs you share, along with the never ending goodies! That cuckoo clock kills me every time. 😂 Thanks so much for all you do. 🧵❤️
Thank you Linda!!! That cuckoo is hilarious every time!
I feel for you with the Tab! I like my caffeine cold and carbonated too, although my preference is Cherry Coke Zero, which they haven't discontinued, but is very hard to find right now due to the aluminum shortage, so I've been making do with Diet Coke.
Thank you!!! It stinks when we cannot have the perfect beverage! Ugh!
Hi Ladies!! Laura, you’re turning in to the Serial Finisher now! Love the piece you’ve been stitching on, Brenda! Have a great two weeks of stitching and Happy Fall!! 🍂🦔🍁🦉🍂🐌🍁🐿💛🤎🧡🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks Cathy!!!!!!!! Hope you are having a good stitching two weeks too!!!
Isn't it wonderful for some normal to be returning to our lives? Thanks for sharing, inspiring and motivation.
I added 3 Stitches to my place to visit as I will be there over Thanksgiving. My daughter and sister live nearby so perhaps I can give them gift ideas🤣. Loved your interview.
Oh that is so exciting!!!!!!!!!!! Let us know what you get!!!! Wooohooo! Have a great time Mindy!
Hi from South Africa! Enjoy seeing your beautiful stitching!! Feast of Friendship ... want to buy this for my birthday as a gift from my hubby ... but cant find a PDF anywhere sadly as shipping of a kit is not an option due to the cost. Hopefully I will find where I can buy one soon ... it really beautiful! Look forward to seeing yours completed! You two ladies, your stitching is gorgeous.
You 2 are always such an inspiration!! Thanks for all you do.
I NEED that pattern holder/iPad stand!!!
Your floss tube is my favorite. Always tons of fun ideas. Thx.
I love you girls! I am having so much fun watching your videos!!
Congratulations on Michigan winning. It was a heartbreak for us as the Gophers had such a great year last year. We kept switching to the World Series and back. Thank you for sharing all of your new stitching kindness. Guess I will go and shop!
Thank you Catherine!!!! Hope you found some good things while you were shopping!!! Hope the Gophers win their next game!!
Love the both of you...thanks so much for the stitching company and of course the enabling..you cant imagine how much your happy attitude helps as we are homebound..stay safe and happy stitching Cheers!
Thanks for another great video! Brenda , loved seeing all of your immediate radar samplers! ...Laura, way to go on all of your Christmas finishes...keep going my friend! When I see you ladies show all the beautiful things...I get so excited...and then I start thinking ’ about all the stuff I have kitted that I COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT...lol....and then I have to control myself...only so much time .....never enough time ...but at least if I can’t stitch them all myself I can enjoy seeing your finished pieces. 😊
Thanks Terri!!! Maintaining control is so hard!!!! But, yes, we should really go to our stash first before ordering another thing!! Hugs!
Sorry for the loss of Tab for you Laura. Congrats to you Brenda for finishing the Noel sampler. On one of your recent videos you answered some questions people had. One person asked for a suggestion of a sampler with a house and church. I saw a Hands Across the Sea sampler called Ann Roberts that had a house and church. Hopefully the person with the question sees this comment. Also hopefully it is still available. Thank you for all the joy you bring to me and others.
Thanks so much Alice!!!!!!!! I cannot believe we did not think of that sampler at the time as both of us have it kitted up and ready to go!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 You are welcome!!!
My sympathies on the demise of Tab, Laura. it's nothing less than tragic! Great video. Thank you both for sharing! Loved seeing the Abecedarian Loose Feathers project. I've been watching your older videos and was horrified to hear about Brenda's 'recycling' activities. I have an idea for you both. If you decide to cut off a piece of stitching that you don't like, it would be great if you would keep it in a drawer somewhere and then gift it at Christmas! I don't have an LNS so can't see the different colors of fabrics in person. So, even having a little snippet of fabric would be great fun to receive. Anyway! love you both and just thrilled to watch your videos. You really make my day!! Jean
Thanks so much Jean!!!!! Sorry to horrify you .....we will try to keep all our throwaways so that someone can use them!!! Hugs!
It must be Sunday because my favorite two are on flosstube today!!!!
Laura, I don’t like coffee either, I have to have Diet Pepsi every morning. Wonderful podcast, love both of your feast of friendship projects and of course, everything else your working on!!!
Thank you Nancy!!!!!! Glad I have a fellow morning pop drinker!!!!
Laura, I heard the Tab announcement the other day and thought immediately of you! I was an avid drinker of Tab back in the 70's but haven't drunk much of it since. When I first saw you drinking it, I was amazed to realize it was still available. It certainly hasn't been advertised much in recent years so it's no surprise its market share dropped off. Sorry for your loss!
Thank you Denise! Yes, they should have advertised it better!!!! Ugh!!!!
Wow, another great video. You two are my absolute favourite. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful projects and your time, so appreciated.
You girls just make life so much fun!! I’m so glad to call you friends!! So much fun!!! Love ya!
You ladies are the biggest enablers that I have ever watched! Love you gals! Ok so you have gotten me hooked on Blackbird. Where can you find a complete list of all the Blackbird charts? I have not gotten all of your videos watched yet, but working on it daily. I find that I am watching you more than stitching. Love your energy, love for stitching and each other. You make me laugh, drool and spend money. I appreciate your time and effort to put these videos together. I am learning so much from you about fabrics, floss and color. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with newbies. I can't put into words my appreciation for the things I am learning from you. I do not have a LNS or any other stitchers near me, so I am self taught. Can't wait for my daily fix tonight.
Thank you so much Vicki!!! Loved reading your comments. I don't know of a complete list of BBD charts! If I come across one we will be sure to show it on our floss tube. Your comments are so kind and we appreciate them. Glad that you love stitching too!!
Laura I am so sorry about the TAB😫
I used to have a bad habit of Diet Pepsi, but the aspartame started causing medical problems... I now drink Pepsi with real sugar and I have loved it from the first sip. The urge to stab something besides fabric will ease up in time just be strong.
Laura so sorry to hear the news about TAB! Just gut wrenching! I look forward to you both every two weeks. Thanks for showing all your whips. Looking forward to starting Christmas stitching. Take care.
Wawa is a town in Pennsylvania, perhaps an hour from Philadelphia. It is a Native American word for Canadian geese. They began as small markets, not attached to gas stations. They expanded into Maryland and Virginia about 15 years ago.
You two crack me UP. as always I’m enabled to do some serious retail therapy
Oh Laura I wondered how you would take the Tab news 😢🤗. As always your stitching is beautiful and your someday plans. I so enjoy your videos I hope I can get to be as smooth as you guys when I am filming mine. Blessings stitchy friends
Thanks Dear!!!!!!!! I think it is much easier to be "smooth" when there are two people as opposed to being a solo floss tuber!!! So don't worry about it at all....just do your thing! Hugs!!!
The year of stupid OMG. LOL. I heard about the Tab debacle and instantly thought of you Laura!
