Living North East of Traditional Stitches, I chuckled at your comment about being cold. Its a beautiful day out there today. I love the "silence of the snow". What I do not love is looking at the outside thermometer and see it registering -40! A good day for stitching. You two bring cheer into my home. I laugh with your craziness and love seeing the friendship you have with one another. And talk about enablers, LOL. I've come back to stitching after a 30 year hiatus, and good grief I don't know how you work on linen! I looked at my 14 count Aida and thought "did this thing shrink in the drawer or what?" Oh well. As long as I can thread a needle, I'll be stitching. Thanks for all the inspiration. You two rock!!
Thank you so much Annette!!!!!!! I love the silence of snow too! I would love it even more if I could just stay home whenever it snows. So glad you came back to stitching!!!
Just a wonderful , beautiful floss tube you awesome stitching friends! I am in tears over the amazing gifts you received from your many grateful admirers. You deserved every one of them for how generously you give to all of us who love this craft. Thank you for all you graciously share. So glad you are healing, Brenda. It just takes time for normalcy to return. Besides, we Wolverine lovers were given a huge boost by Tom’s outstanding performance! So nice to see a Michigan grad be known as the G.O.A.T. of football for the ages. I’m just thrilled. Thank you for this very special video.❤️
You really don't have any idea of how much you both are loved by all of us....every other Sunday evening holds treasured time with the two of you to laugh, enjoy your banter, and be totally enabled! Your stitching is not only a constant rabbit hole dive, but squirrels on the highway (or, back country road)!! Thank you so much for making the effort and taking the time to bring such pleasure to us!
I thank God for the friendship that I feel with you ladies. I don’t know if you realize how much your videos mean to all of us! All of the flosstubers unselfishly give time, planning, commitment, comfort, inspiration, permission, and H and H’s to many of us who sit alone waiting for our friends to share time with us! Such a happy place to be! Brenda, please take care of yourself and feel well soon, saying a prayer for your recovery. Love all the lovely gifts you received!
Thank you so much Laurie!!!! What kind comments and they are truly a balm to our souls. We have lots of fun doing the floss tubes and love to spread H&H's!!!!! Sending you a big hug!!!
Laurie, you said it best. Our stitching community is so blessed to have these talented and generous flosstubers. They have gotten me through the pandemic.
I loved seeing you and everything stitching. Brenda, I pray you will be back to 100% very soon. You and your stitching are always a beautiful inspiration to so many.
Please don’t be surprised and overwhelmed by gifts. You bring joy and comfort to so many and folks want to thank you for that. You’re both a joy. Thanks for all you do.
Brenda I am so glad to hear that you are recovered from your illness. You take care of yourself and I will say a prayer for you. Laura your stitching is so pretty! I loved ALL of the things you both shared with us. I am a quilter and just got over a period where I didn't go near my fabrics or sewing machine for about four weeks after Christmas. Sometimes we just need a little break. I hope you get back to stitching what you love very soon. I know Laura really inspired me today and I hope it inspired you too. Thank you both for putting a little sunshine in my day on this cold Sunday afternoon :)
You ladies deserve all the love you get. This community is so blessed to have you. Your joy for this art is infectious. Though my poor wallet has suffered a bit from watching you, I have no regrets for my wonderful stash. Keep doing what you do ....... you are so appreciated and loved.
Hepped up and hysterical and H&H-ing all over the place! I love y’all!! I’ve decided you’re my friends, you’ll get use to it!! I did several screen shots to buy a couple of the small samplers!! Brenda, I’m glad you’re well now and hope the stitching mojo comes back soon. I say relax because it will come, you will think of something or see something soon that will spark the mo again! Y’all’s videos make me smile and laugh and want to stitch and buy all the black birds.... and everything else I see. I’m glad people send you gifts, just means we’re all seeing how wonderful you two are. Thanks for all the inspiration! Stay warm! Hope y’all have a great couple weeks!! ❤️
Sweet stickers😊sweet pillows, love those tiny tiny tomatoes, crazy over the 10 Commandments of stitching, and that spool with stitching. You both are precious and we love you, good to see you back❤️
Brenda, I’m so glad you are feeling better. Laura, you experienced the “cross stitch vapors” at least 2 times in this video. Ladies, you are the first flosstube channel I started watching back in June, and I can’t start my week without watching your videos. The only good thing to come out of this Covid debacle has been meeting new people and becoming friends - even it’s more one-sided than an actual friendship through flosstube. As always, you both were funny, inspiring, and enabling. I hope to stitch with you both some day. You are flosstube rock stars 🎸🎸!!
Thanks Natalie!!! That is so sweet of you to say!!!!! I hope we can stitch together someday too!!!!!!! My patience is wearing thin without retreats!!!!!!
"Heifer"! You must be a farm girl. Love it. You two are such a treat. Hope you feel better and stitchy quickly, Brenda. Love you little samplers, Laura.
I enjoy seeing you both so much. Unfortunately, I do not know anyone in my town who cross stitches so I do consider you my stitching friends! Thank you for your companionship!
So great to see you both. Brenda, so sorry you were sick; sure hope that stitching mojo comes back with a vengeance because you are such an inspiration to all of us and your stitching is gorgeous! Laura what great smalls - I Love smalls, whether small cute things or small samplers, just something about completing a project. Loved seeing your stitching kindness from all over the world. You are a blessing to so many. Keep sharing the joy of stitching. Have a great week. Enjoy every stitch!
Love the 10 commandments bags! So clever. You guys are the best. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, love of stitching and fun, positive floss tubes. I am grateful for the things I have learned and the great entertainment. Since I found you a few months ago, I have watched from #1 and stitched along the way. Bless you both!
I love you ladies so much! I binge watch your videos as I stitch and have jumped in the deep end of the pool and have started stitching on 28 ct lugana. I’ve always stitched on Aida and decided to take the plunge. I’m LOVING it!!! I’m stitching winter rose manor and it’s coming along nicely. So glad you’re feeling better, Brenda and that you’re starting to get your mojo back. I so enjoy your videos and always look forward to your next one. Thank you both for taking the time to bring the stitching community such wonderful videos, humor and inspiration ❤️❤️🧵🧵
You should not be surprised by all of your wonderful friends and their extremely creative gifts. You give so much of your time to us and bring so much joy. Loved today’s video and missed you. Brenda, I hope you are feeling better and that you find your mojo “stat”! As for enabling, I too watched Nicole’s video yesterday and ran to order The Pink Sparrow sampler that she finished. This community is just a mutual admiration society! Love you girls.
I got all excited when I saw ‘mares eat oats’. It brought back some GOOD memories of my Dad. He used to sing when we went on car trips and he used to sing this whenever we saw horses in road side fields. He would sing it once and they I would join in. He sang better than me but it always used to make me laugh.
What a wonderful sweet memory Phyllis!!! I talked to my Mom yesterday and she told me that I forgot to tell the most important part of that story.....her Dad used to sing it to her!!!
Okay ladies, it’s apparently not enough that I cannot ever get through one of your videos without pausing at least once to buy something, but I also have to watch the other flosstubers you mention and pause and buy. Are you controlling me through UA-cam? Next time I watch I’m going to wear a aluminum foil hat and see if that helps. 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
Brenda, I am glad you are on the mend - no fun being sick. Your stitching mo-jo will return when you are ready. Stitch what you love and if you don’t feel like stitching for a bit it is alright. Laura - so glad to see you drinking Tab again! I laughed when I saw your instagram post with the shopping carts full of Tab. You two girls are so much fun - I thoroughly enjoy my time watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your love of stitching and your talents.❤️
I'm so glad you're back. It just totally makes my day when I can sit down and stitch while watching you! I always have to have a pen and paper nearby because your always inspiring to me. I have to tell you I had signed up for the Ann Gott sampler at the Attic and got the call that my kit was in, so I picked it up on Friday and started it and the colors are absolutely amazingly beautiful!!!! It's so much better in person! They have three original displayed at the shop and it's lovely but the cotton over dyes are even more stunning. I love it and know you're going to love stitching it as well!
Oh that is so exciting Stephanie!!!!!!!! I cannot wait to get started on that one!!!!! Woohooooooooooo!!!!!! And you got to go to the best place on Earth and pick it up in person!!!! We will be there someday as soon as possible!
Brenda & Laura, Thank you! Yet another fabulous video♥️ so sorry Brenda you were not feeling well sending 🤗 from MN to be stronger each day and to find that stitching mojo😘 Laura can’t wait to see what your plans are for XJudesigns Fabric I know you will LOVE it 😻 it certainly has become one of my most favorites!! As for your gifts couldn’t happen to better people enjoy the wonderful kindness of this stitching community truly beautiful gifts you received in all ways💕 cheers till next time....
Thank you so much LaNelle!!!! I started stitching on the XJudesigns and I am IN LOVE!!!!!!!! I am ordering all that I can. It is so perfect!!!!!! Happy Stitching to you!
Thank you Thank you for your time. You both are AMAZING Ladies. Once again a great video. Loved the Ten Commandments bags and both spool gift you received. Brenda I pray that you feel 100% better very soon. Laura keep the finish stitching coming I enjoy seeing them. Happy stitching😃
OMG Laura! I really enjoyed your small projects parade 💖💖💖. I hope Brenda gets her mojo back and thank you both for enabling us! Love You Ladies. Happy Stitching. Xoxo. Miriam
Laura, you are SO right about the border on Seven Sheep. I started mine in the center as I’m tight on fabric and I’m so glad I did! I’m stitching the border now and it’s driving my brain crazy. So I went down to the pots at the bottom and am working my way up each side. Once I get near the top, I think I’ll move over to the upper border, start at the center and work my way out to meet each side. I’m fairly certain it may not line up exactly, but I’m sure I’ll be able to fudge something. At least that’s the plan...Brenda, glad to hear you’re feeling better, your stitching mojo will return soon enough. Be gentle with yourself. ❤️
Yes! Let’s all buy goodies from a couple needlework shops this week...and next week...and the next ☺️...Btw Laura, I have fallen in love with Deborah Harry’s Vintage bags! I have a few on my shelf...but gee.. you gotta be quick 😳...Brenda, I am glad you are feeling better 💕...I hope you get your stitching mojo back soon 😊...Thank you ladies for another lovely video! Have a wonderful week ❤️
Our power in Texas is finally back on...snow in Central Texas is a sin, plain and simple....Thanks for another great and inspiring video. I recently lost my stitchy bug, but watched your videos and all the WIPS are back out!! Thanks ladies..
Another super flosstube ladies. Sorry to hear you haven't been well Brenda and hope you are feeling a lot better now. Lovely to see all your stitchy projects Laura. Happy stitching 😉 carolxstitch
Another wonderful inspiring video, I was worried when you didn't have your regular video last week. I am so glad you are feeling better Brenda now work on your stitching mojo. I am a quilter by day and cross stitcher by night, I lost my quilting mojo about two months ago but last week I got it back.🤗 and while watching your video I stitched a quilt top together. Laura, you lived up to your name, "serial starter" you never disappoint. Stay well and happy stitching.
So glad to see you both...and the TAB!! Brenda, hope you are 100% very soon! Love seeing all the fabric, patterns and colors. The 10 Laws bags are simply fabulous and would be huge sellers!!! See you next time.
What a lovely visit! You definitely enable, but you also inspire and delight! I always enjoy my visit with you ladies! Please take care of yourselves!♥️♥️♥️🤗🤗🤗
I think we all have a lost of the mojo moment - but every time I watch your guys videos - I get it back or at least find a project from your stash that's mine or needs to be in mine - I would love to send you guys a cards some day - just to thank you for what you guys really meant to me, seriously! I don't think I could gone thru 2020 without this flosstube.
That is so very sweet of you Sharla!!!!! We needed these floss tubes too!!! They really helped keep some joy alive!!! No need to send a card...your kind comments are just the best!!!!! Hugs!!!
That 1854 Sampler is stunning. I want to stitch a sampler of that date. I think it would ba cool cause I was born in 1954. Love you two. Love everything you showed. God Bless!❤️☮️🇨🇦
Thanks for another great show, ladies. Brenda, take care of yourself. Stitching will come back when its time. I tell my students who keep abandoning books "you will enjoy reading again when you find your just right book." For now, just enjoy looking at all your beautiful pieces. Laura, so happy for your TAB haul! Lovely show of WIPS!
Your videos are so much fun! So many designs and so little time, so much enabling. I have seen so many samplers that I might never have seen if not for you! Thank you for sharing your love of stitching and your friendship with all of us.
I know we have never met, but when I watch your Flosstube videos, I feel that I am visiting with my best friends. I appreciate the effort you go to putting these videos together. You are amazing! In reference to the fabric that you purchased Laura, Platinum is one of my favorite fabrics to use. I like getting my fabrics from Kittenstitcher and love the selection she offers. I need to try some of the other fabrics that both of you have talked about but love the information you have shared of what you like and why. Right now I am into stitching Blackbird strawberries and I am collecting as many of the Blackbird charts I can for my stash. I have several stitched and will try to do the finishing on all of them as soon as I finish stitching them all!!!! I have been away from stitching for 20 or so years and now that I am retired, stitching as fast as I can each day to catch up! There are so many wonderful things out there to stitch, it is hard to choose when you have a limited budget to work with every month. So sorry to hear you have been sick Brenda and I hope you are feeling better. Don¨t worry about not stitching, it will come back in time and you will be back to yourself again in no time! You ladies make me smile and brighten my day and always so sad when one of your videos come to an end. I will be waiting faithfully for the next one! May you stay safe in these difficult times and look forward to seeing you on your next video. Desi Tea Time Stitcher
Thank you so much Desi!!!! Loved reading through your comments. It sounds like you are having a great time stitching those strawberries! And if you get one BBD book, like The Sewing Club book, you will have enough stitching to keep you busy all year. That might help with the budget. Realistically that is what I should do, but you know how that goes....................... Thanks for the advice for Brenda....I know she is feeling more like herself every day! Hugs!
I loved this video so much. It was good to have you back, and I’m glad you are feeling better, Brenda. It warmed my heart to see you get such lovely gifts. We all appreciate you so much! Thank you for sharing you talent with us and your love of cross stitch. And, of course, Go Blue!
You both generously share your friendship and love of stitching with us that it’s not surprising that stitchers want to say thank you :). I’m blown away by the creativity and thoughtfulness stitchers put into your gifts to personalize them for each of you. I was smiling and agreeing with the Ten Commandments of stitching as you read them :))). Laura, I enjoyed seeing your small samplers and if possible would you please make it a law to have a small sampler going at all times? Just for the record I am in compliance with the law of always having a red sampler in the works :). Brenda, I’m glad you’re feeling better. And going through your stash like you’ve been doing to see what inspires you is the best way I know to get back into your stitching groove. As you always say Blackbird is comfort stitching and I think that’s what you need right now. Thanks for another entertaining video.
Thank you so much Linda!!!!!!! I will definitely take it under advisement about adding the small sampler law. I think I need to write down all the laws in one place so I don't forget.....oh wait, I have the new project bag!!! It is so amazing! Yes, let's add that to the laws!
Great seeing you two! Brenda a little tidbit of Info on “ our boy” hence your Michigan sweatshirt! Tom and our son went to the same high school! I find myself often defending him but people don’t know how kind he’s been to his old high school. He’s donated one of the cars he won to the school auction and numerous autographed footballs. He hasn’t forgotten where he got his start. The game was kinda boring but I’m glad the bucs won. And the greatest of all times still is Joe Montana!!! Be well, stay warm and stitch what makes you happy!!!!😀
Oh my gosh Brenda I hope you are really on the mend !! Much love to you both ... my stitchy friends! You were missed last week but so happy to be inspired (enabled!! ) by your projects today !!! Now I just need to bring my fabric choices to Brenda also to tell me which one to use 😂 ! Laura I’m loving the small samplers!! So of course online shopping for me next 😳😳 multitasking sampler searching and Super Bowl!!
Brenda and Laura, it was a wonderful experience watch this video...love the friendship you both show...Brenda our bodies take time to heal...your stitching bug will be back soon...Laura, congratulations on your finish and love your little gems samplers...wishing you both JOY and happy stitching...we do appreciate all that you do for your FlossTubers❤️❤️
I have made a decision! I’ve just watched and thoroughly enjoyed your first video...I’ve decided to watch them all in sequence! It may take awhile, but I don’t want to miss a thing. 😊 You both provide so much inspiration and encouragement, and we all can use that right now! Thank you! 💕
So glad to see you both yesterday! I am not the least bit surprised at all your gifts. You bring so much enjoyment to us through watching your videos. Brenda, I hope you get your stitching mojo back on track. You were always such an inspiration to me. And no need to ask me to shop even though I have to do all my shopping on line. I try to order from brick and mortar shops when I can. I think a package comes for me almost every day - so fun!
Love you both, & so enjoy everything that you share: stash, knowledge, humor & finishes. Don’t ever stop. Oh, if you could pass along to Lisa, that I would love to purchase a 10 commandments bag, if she would consider making more. Much appreciated. Brenda, I hope you can find your happy place again soon. Stay safe & well. ❤️❤️❤️
What wonderful gifts yo both received. Such blessings to you both. Brenda I hope you get your stitching going as your normal soon. Laura some wonderful stitching going on. Congratulations on your beautiful stitching finishes. Blessings and happy stitching.
Your generosity of spirit and sharing of your passion for cross-stitch is inspiring. It's a pleasure when I look at the length of your video before I watch it. The longer it is, the more notes I take to remind myself to get out a pattern that I own or one that I want to own. It's so fun to look at the framed pieces behind you. Thank you, thank you!
Thank you for your wonderful comments Marjorie!!! We have such fun doing the videos and I am so happy that you like the longer ones!!!! There is just so much to discuss!!! Hugs!!!
Thank you ladies. You inspire me to stitch and I love stitching with you. I will support Acorns & Threads this week. I so enjoyed seeing the gift from the Oregon State mom. My son and daughter in law are OSU graduates and I love living in Oregon. Its wonderful to watch you appreciate the shower of love shown to you. Please take care and stay well.
Thank you so much Carol!!!! I plan on going to Acorns and Threads someday for sure! Those pillows from OSU Mom were so amazing!!! Oregon is one of the most beautiful places on Earth!
Well you have certainly enabled me today, Laura. I want to buy all of the charts you shared today. Brenda, love you and your calm demeanor. Thank you ladies for another great video. Love the gifts you were given. What a great community.❤️
Hope you get your stitching mojo back soon Brenda! Thank you for another great video. Laughed out loud about the 10 commandments of stitching! Also laughed at the irony of Brenda's serial starts and Laura's finishes. I so enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Brenda, I am so glad you feel better! Loved seeing all the things! Pineberry Lane really is an amazing designer! Thanks for sharing your gifts - you have no idea how much joy and happiness you spread. Thanks as always ladies!!!
My parents used to sing “Mares Eat Oats” ALL OF THE TIME growing up. I was so confused because my maiden name is “Mayer”. So I thought it was “Mayers Eat Oats”.....lol
That is hilarious Betsy!!!! So glad that we all know that delightful song! I forgot to mention the most important thing about it...my grandpa used to sing it to my mom!!!
Hahaha! Thank you, Betsy! I am laughing because all my life, (i just turned 67!) I thought the song was “Maresied Oats”! 😂 And I had no clue what kind of oats that could be! Thanks for clearing that up for me! 😄 💕 Meline
Ha ha! It wasn’t until I was a teenager that I heard the real words to this song. When I was younger, I thought it was, “Mares eeee dotes and dotesy dotes and little lambsy divey “, which made no sense. LOL
Thank goodness you are back I thought I had missed you Brenda you must take care stay warm you are very pale and the fact you haven’t been stitching you must be very unwell you two ladies are the saving grace of so many people over the pandemic and we all need you so mind yourselves lots of love and good thoughts xxangela in ireland 🇮🇪🙃❤️
I like seeing it all. I stay to the end gladly. The gifts are such a beautiful tribute , a well deserved tribute, to how much your shows mean to your audience. God Bless you lovely ladies always
Great video, we all missed you. Love, love, love all of your Projects. You received some wonderful gifts, which you both deserve. Laura, I love your sweater, it looks so warm & cozy. Brenda, I hope you feel better soon & that your stitching passion comes back soon. Marilyn
The 10 Commandment bags are sooo cute! What lovely gifts you received! I always enjoy all of the beautiful samplers you show and stitch! I went straight to Amazon to look up the adorable sticker books, and can't wait to "add to cart"! They are adorable!

Laura may you have the strength to keep up with your passionate starts !!!😎💜💜 Blessings~
It was nice catching up with you two today. So much inspiration and education! You received some very nice gifts from your 'friends'...that is exactly how you make us (your viewers) feel. The joy in your frienship is as inspiring as your stitching. Thanks for sharing that with us. Hope Brenda gets her mojo back soon...next flosstube title "Brenda Got Her Groove Back" :)
Laura congrats on getting your Tab. Your have some lovely starts and closing in on finishes. Brenda sorry you were so sick and glad you are on the road to health. Wishing for some mojo !!!! When I think a heartfelt gift is the best thing ever you get another that is tops !! You both inspire and if we aren’t on the level of Your loveliness- your FT are drool worthy. Have a wonderful stitching time . PS. That commandment bag is AWESOME!!!
🤗 Brenda I’m sorry were so sick but glad you are feeling better and soon will get that stitching mojo back. Enjoyed spending time with both of you ladies and seeing the lovely gifts you were sent. Both take care. ❤️❤️
We all love spending time with you. You’re a bright spot in my week. I have been introduced to so many amazing designers and so much stitching lore. Thank you both for sharing your joy in stitching. Hugs from Adelaide 🇦🇺💕
Seeing you again was like being reunited with dear friends. I just finished "Simplicity" from Little House Needleworks and decided on my first ever sampler, "Christmas Rose". Laura, you definitely earned that TAB! Stay safe, stay healthy
The Laura show! Lol. Loved it all! Fyi. We are -33 C or -27F today here in Saskatchewan Canada... Staying warm by the fireplace, crafting and watching flosstubes and the Superbowl!
It’s good to see you two back on the air. Glad you are feeling better Brenda! I want to load my serger into my car and drive to Laura’s house and trim those big pieces of linen and serge them up for other projects.....You both inspire me. Thank you for being you.
So glad you are feeling better, Brenda. Got to get that mojo back though. I always enjoy watching you two. Lucky Brenda with the handy wood working husband (Carol Saltbox Stitcher too!). And yes, Nicole's Louisa Barny got to me too. Ack! Take care, both of you!
Hi Brenda and Laura. So glad to see both of you. I missed you last week. I had a feeling one of you was ill and I thought it was Brenda, I don't know why. I hope you are feeling better now, Brenda. You still have that great sense of humor and funny remarks. Laura, you came through like a champ with all of your starts and wonderful stitch parade. You're a great friend. Thanks for sharing. Brenda, your husband makes you the most fabulous things! The ipad holder is SO pretty! I agree, it is a work of art. I hope you both have a great two weeks, and that Brenda gets her MoJo back. I think she will, once she feels better. Love you girls. Take care. Pam Miller
Oh Brenda, I hope you are feeling better. Stay home and stitch stitch stitch!! Lol Laura, I was thinking about what you were saying about the blending on 40 count. You could try one leg of the cross with one color and the other leg with the other color and see how that works out. That's the only thing that came to mind to help you out with that. Such wonderful patterns and fabrics and threads all the way around. Thank you ladies for sharing all your goodies with us. Take care, Ruth.
You received those gifts because you bring so much joy to people so do not feel like you don’t deserve them - because you do. Hope your stitching mojo returns soon Brenda and glad you are feeling better. 💕
The 10 Commandments made me laugh out loud. I am glad you were back this week. Brenda, I hope you continue to feel better and get your stitching mojo back. It's hard to get your energy back after being sick sometimes.
Wow you guys are so loved and so humble! Stitching is def the tie that binds and its good to share the love❤️.. Brenda hope you are feeling better and those needles start flying soon. Laura.....love the smalls and great to see Anna Millet on your list. I’m enjoying changing it up and planning the next one. Grands are in school four days a week so if it lasts I’ll be able to be more productive! Enjoyed our time together today!
Wow outstanding video as always! I had to watch and stop your video while checking eBay, Etsy, Traditional Stitches, etc and shopping for patterns. I’ve been in a slump too Brenda, while stitching Sarah Stewart Hardman and feel the need to start something else. I like your idea of small samplers Laura. What precious gifts you both received. So very thoughtful. Stay safe ladies ❤️
Thank you Carol!!!!!! Sarah Steward Hardman is a difficult stitch...in terms of how much work is involved so I think it is a great idea for you to do a small sampler too. Happy Stitching!
Oh, my head is spinning after this Flosstube episode. So many things added to my list. Love you guys! THANK YOU for "sharing your love of stitching." Off to shop!
Hope you feel better soon Brenda - Sorry to hear that you was sick. Love all of your WIPS - The Fabrics is so pretty as well as the Threads. Happy Stitching ❤️🧵🪡🧵❤️
Brenda I'm glad to hear you're feeling better!" I'm sure your stitching MOJO will return soon. Laura, loved everything you stitched and your linens too! Happy stitching ladies!!😊💜
So good to see you guys again and thankful Brenda is on the mend. And glad others are reaching out to you both... am thinking folks like to 'give back' and you two are very giving with your time and efforts to keep us stitchers encouraged and inspired! I love that red on the 38 ct Filbert Laura showed, I may just have to do a red sampler with that! And have to pick up a couple more of those little gems from HATS too! Brenda, hope you can rest up and don't stitch if you aren't up to it; take all the time you need. Maybe this is your time to just soak in the lovely things others have stitched (I love looking at the stitchers' galleries (their pages) on IG, always inspires me). Quite honestly, I think like 'art appreciation' courses, looking at others' work can be just as important as doing the craft itself. Have a good couple of weeks or so until we meet again!
All those wonderful gifts. A true indication of how much you are loved. I am always so excited when I see a new video from you two. So comforting. Hope you feel better soon Brenda and that your stitching mojo returns very soon. I am sure it is just a matter a time. Sometimes a rest is good. ❤️
Your fans love you and shower you with gifts ♥️. Nice to see you ladies, glad you are feeling better Brenda. Loved all the goodies. Stay safe and stitch all the things!
Wow! What a blessing to stitch & shop for all the things! Gorgeous & creative handmade gifts! Thank you for your time & talents. Have a great week!
Thank you so much for watching!!!

Just a wonderful , beautiful floss tube you awesome stitching friends! I am in tears over the amazing gifts you received from your many grateful admirers. You deserved every one of them for how generously you give to all of us who love this craft. Thank you for all you graciously share. So glad you are healing, Brenda. It just takes time for normalcy to return. Besides, we Wolverine lovers were given a huge boost by Tom’s outstanding performance! So nice to see a Michigan grad be known as the G.O.A.T. of football for the ages. I’m just thrilled. Thank you for this very special video.❤️
Thank you so very much for your lovely and kind comments Bonnie!!!! Hugs!!!
You really don't have any idea of how much you both are loved by all of us....every other Sunday evening holds treasured time with the two of you to laugh, enjoy your banter, and be totally enabled! Your stitching is not only a constant rabbit hole dive, but squirrels on the highway (or, back country road)!! Thank you so much for making the effort and taking the time to bring such pleasure to us!
Thank you for your very very kind comments Chrie!!!!!! Hugs!!!!
I thank God for the friendship that I feel with you ladies. I don’t know if you realize how much your videos mean to all of us! All of the flosstubers unselfishly give time, planning, commitment, comfort, inspiration, permission, and H and H’s to many of us who sit alone waiting for our friends to share time with us! Such a happy place to be! Brenda, please take care of yourself and feel well soon, saying a prayer for your recovery. Love all the lovely gifts you received!
Thank you so much Laurie!!!! What kind comments and they are truly a balm to our souls. We have lots of fun doing the floss tubes and love to spread H&H's!!!!! Sending you a big hug!!!
Laurie, you said it best. Our stitching community is so blessed to have these talented and generous flosstubers. They have gotten me through the pandemic.
I loved seeing you and everything stitching. Brenda, I pray you will be back to 100% very soon. You and your stitching are always a beautiful inspiration to so many.
Thank you very much Mary!!!!!
Please don’t be surprised and overwhelmed by gifts. You bring joy and comfort to so many and folks want to thank you for that. You’re both a joy. Thanks for all you do.
That is so kind of you to say Laurie!!! Thank you!!!
Brenda I am so glad to hear that you are recovered from your illness. You take care of yourself and I will say a prayer for you. Laura your stitching is so pretty! I loved ALL of the things you both shared with us. I am a quilter and just got over a period where I didn't go near my fabrics or sewing machine for about four weeks after Christmas. Sometimes we just need a little break. I hope you get back to stitching what you love very soon. I know Laura really inspired me today and I hope it inspired you too. Thank you both for putting a little sunshine in my day on this cold Sunday afternoon :)
Thank you so much Pam!!!!!
You ladies deserve all the love you get. This community is so blessed to have you. Your joy for this art is infectious. Though my poor wallet has suffered a bit from watching you, I have no regrets for my wonderful stash. Keep doing what you do ....... you are so appreciated and loved.
Thank you for your very very kind words!!! Hugs!!!
Hepped up and hysterical and H&H-ing all over the place! I love y’all!! I’ve decided you’re my friends, you’ll get use to it!! I did several screen shots to buy a couple of the small samplers!! Brenda, I’m glad you’re well now and hope the stitching mojo comes back soon. I say relax because it will come, you will think of something or see something soon that will spark the mo again! Y’all’s videos make me smile and laugh and want to stitch and buy all the black birds.... and everything else I see. I’m glad people send you gifts, just means we’re all seeing how wonderful you two are. Thanks for all the inspiration! Stay warm! Hope y’all have a great couple weeks!! ❤️
Thank you so much Lisa!!!! Love your comments!!! Hugs!
Hope you feel better soon Brenda. My favourite quote “That orange is heinous” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Sian!!!!!!! That is pretty funny....but so true!!!!
All of the gifts are a testament to how much we all love you. You both bring so much joy to the stitching community. Thank you for your videos.
Thank you Cathy!!!!!!! We love you and miss you!!!!!
Sweet stickers😊sweet pillows, love those tiny tiny tomatoes, crazy over the 10 Commandments of stitching, and that spool with stitching. You both are precious and we love you, good to see you back❤️
Thank you Debbie!!!!
Brenda, I’m so glad you are feeling better. Laura, you experienced the “cross stitch vapors” at least 2 times in this video.
Ladies, you are the first flosstube channel I started watching back in June, and I can’t start my week without watching your videos. The only good thing to come out of this Covid debacle has been meeting new people and becoming friends - even it’s more one-sided than an actual friendship through flosstube. As always, you both were funny, inspiring, and enabling. I hope to stitch with you both some day. You are flosstube rock stars 🎸🎸!!
Thanks Natalie!!! That is so sweet of you to say!!!!! I hope we can stitch together someday too!!!!!!! My patience is wearing thin without retreats!!!!!!
"Heifer"! You must be a farm girl. Love it. You two are such a treat. Hope you feel better and stitchy quickly, Brenda. Love you little samplers, Laura.
Thanks so much Sue! We are not farm girls, but find the term heifer endlessly amusing!
I enjoy seeing you both so much. Unfortunately, I do not know anyone in my town who cross stitches so I do consider you my stitching friends! Thank you for your companionship!
Thanks Anne!!! We are definitely friends if we all love to stitch!!!!! Hope you can find some local stitchers though...... hugs!
So great to see you both. Brenda, so sorry you were sick; sure hope that stitching mojo comes back with a vengeance because you are such an inspiration to all of us and your stitching is gorgeous! Laura what great smalls - I Love smalls, whether small cute things or small samplers, just something about completing a project. Loved seeing your stitching kindness from all over the world. You are a blessing to so many. Keep sharing the joy of stitching. Have a great week. Enjoy every stitch!
Thank you for your kind words Merritt!!!!!!!
Love the 10 commandments bags! So clever. You guys are the best. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, love of stitching and fun, positive floss tubes. I am grateful for the things I have learned and the great entertainment. Since I found you a few months ago, I have watched from #1 and stitched along the way. Bless you both!

Thank you Connie!!!!! Glad you have been stitching along the way!!!!! Aren't those bags just amazing???
I love you ladies so much! I binge watch your videos as I stitch and have jumped in the deep end of the pool and have started stitching on 28 ct lugana. I’ve always stitched on Aida and decided to take the plunge. I’m LOVING it!!! I’m stitching winter rose manor and it’s coming along nicely. So glad you’re feeling better, Brenda and that you’re starting to get your mojo back. I so enjoy your videos and always look forward to your next one. Thank you both for taking the time to bring the stitching community such wonderful videos, humor and inspiration ❤️❤️🧵🧵
That is so exciting!!! So happy that you are loving the lugana!!!!! Woohooooo!!!
You should not be surprised by all of your wonderful friends and their extremely creative gifts. You give so much of your time to us and bring so much joy. Loved today’s video and missed you. Brenda, I hope you are feeling better and that you find your mojo “stat”! As for enabling, I too watched Nicole’s video yesterday and ran to order The Pink Sparrow sampler that she finished. This community is just a mutual admiration society! Love you girls.
Thank you so much Ruth!!! And glad Nicole spread her enabling out to you too!!!!!
The 10 Commandments are perfect. Ladies, I appreciate you so much. You have been so good for the stitching community.
Thank you so much RoseAnn!!!!!!!!!
I got all excited when I saw ‘mares eat oats’. It brought back some GOOD memories of my Dad. He used to sing when we went on car trips and he used to sing this whenever we saw horses in road side fields. He would sing it once and they I would join in. He sang better than me but it always used to make me laugh.
What a wonderful sweet memory Phyllis!!! I talked to my Mom yesterday and she told me that I forgot to tell the most important part of that story.....her Dad used to sing it to her!!!
Okay ladies, it’s apparently not enough that I cannot ever get through one of your videos without pausing at least once to buy something, but I also have to watch the other flosstubers you mention and pause and buy. Are you controlling me through UA-cam? Next time I watch I’m going to wear a aluminum foil hat and see if that helps. 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
Beep Bop Boop do not boop wear aluminum foil hat beep bop boop.........you must buy all the things (all said in robot voice...)
Haha same for me. I’m always pausing and heading to Etsy.
Brenda, I am glad you are on the mend - no fun being sick. Your stitching mo-jo will return when you are ready. Stitch what you love and if you don’t feel like stitching for a bit it is alright. Laura - so glad to see you drinking Tab again! I laughed when I saw your instagram post with the shopping carts full of Tab. You two girls are so much fun - I thoroughly enjoy my time watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your love of stitching and your talents.❤️
Thank you Cindi!!!!!! Your comments are fun! Hugs!!!
I'm so glad you're back. It just totally makes my day when I can sit down and stitch while watching you! I always have to have a pen and paper nearby because your always inspiring to me. I have to tell you I had signed up for the Ann Gott sampler at the Attic and got the call that my kit was in, so I picked it up on Friday and started it and the colors are absolutely amazingly beautiful!!!! It's so much better in person! They have three original displayed at the shop and it's lovely but the cotton over dyes are even more stunning. I love it and know you're going to love stitching it as well!
Oh that is so exciting Stephanie!!!!!!!! I cannot wait to get started on that one!!!!! Woohooooooooooo!!!!!! And you got to go to the best place on Earth and pick it up in person!!!! We will be there someday as soon as possible!
Brenda & Laura, Thank you! Yet another fabulous video♥️ so sorry Brenda you were not feeling well sending 🤗 from MN to be stronger each day and to find that stitching mojo😘 Laura can’t wait to see what your plans are for XJudesigns Fabric I know you will LOVE it 😻 it certainly has become one of my most favorites!! As for your gifts couldn’t happen to better people enjoy the wonderful kindness of this stitching community truly beautiful gifts you received in all ways💕 cheers till next time....
Thank you so much LaNelle!!!! I started stitching on the XJudesigns and I am IN LOVE!!!!!!!! I am ordering all that I can. It is so perfect!!!!!! Happy Stitching to you!
Thank you Thank you for your time. You both are AMAZING Ladies. Once again a great video. Loved the Ten Commandments bags and both spool gift you received. Brenda I pray that you feel 100% better very soon. Laura keep the finish stitching coming I enjoy seeing them. Happy stitching😃
Thank you so much Diane!!!!!
OMG Laura! I really enjoyed your small projects parade 💖💖💖. I hope Brenda gets her mojo back and thank you both for enabling us! Love You Ladies. Happy Stitching. Xoxo. Miriam
Thank you Miriam!!!!!! Glad you enjoyed that...it is so fun to have a parade!!!
Laura, you are SO right about the border on Seven Sheep. I started mine in the center as I’m tight on fabric and I’m so glad I did! I’m stitching the border now and it’s driving my brain crazy. So I went down to the pots at the bottom and am working my way up each side. Once I get near the top, I think I’ll move over to the upper border, start at the center and work my way out to meet each side. I’m fairly certain it may not line up exactly, but I’m sure I’ll be able to fudge something. At least that’s the plan...Brenda, glad to hear you’re feeling better, your stitching mojo will return soon enough. Be gentle with yourself. ❤️
That is very interesting Karen......I am going to have to give this some thought. Thank you for that great advice!!!!
Yes! Let’s all buy goodies from a couple needlework shops this week...and next week...and the next ☺️...Btw Laura, I have fallen in love with Deborah Harry’s Vintage bags! I have a few on my shelf...but gee.. you gotta be quick 😳...Brenda, I am glad you are feeling better 💕...I hope you get your stitching mojo back soon 😊...Thank you ladies for another lovely video! Have a wonderful week ❤️
Thank you so much Mary!!!!!! Glad you got a couple of bags!!!!!!
Our power in Texas is finally back on...snow in Central Texas is a sin, plain and simple....Thanks for another great and inspiring video. I recently lost my stitchy bug, but watched your videos and all the WIPS are back out!! Thanks ladies..
I hope that you are still okay down there!!!!!! And I am so glad your WIPS are out!!!!! That will cure what ails ya!!! Sending love!
Another super flosstube ladies. Sorry to hear you haven't been well Brenda and hope you are feeling a lot better now. Lovely to see all your stitchy projects Laura. Happy stitching 😉
carolxstitch
Thank you so much Carol!!!!!! Hope you have a good stitching weekend!
Another wonderful inspiring video, I was worried when you didn't have your regular video last week. I am so glad you are feeling better Brenda now work on your stitching mojo. I am a quilter by day and cross stitcher by night, I lost my quilting mojo about two months ago but last week I got it back.🤗 and while watching your video I stitched a quilt top together. Laura, you lived up to your name, "serial starter" you never disappoint. Stay well and happy stitching.
Thank you Lynn!!!! So glad you got your quilting mojo back!
You two darlings are just so uplifting in every possible way. Bless you both ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So glad to see you both...and the TAB!! Brenda, hope you are 100% very soon! Love seeing all the fabric, patterns and colors. The 10 Laws bags are simply fabulous and would be huge sellers!!! See you next time.
Thank you Desiree!!!!!!
What a lovely visit! You definitely enable, but you also inspire and delight! I always enjoy my visit with you ladies! Please take care of yourselves!♥️♥️♥️🤗🤗🤗
Thank you so much Christina!!!
I think we all have a lost of the mojo moment - but every time I watch your guys videos - I get it back or at least find a project from your stash that's mine or needs to be in mine - I would love to send you guys a cards some day - just to thank you for what you guys really meant to me, seriously! I don't think I could gone thru 2020 without this flosstube.
That is so very sweet of you Sharla!!!!! We needed these floss tubes too!!! They really helped keep some joy alive!!! No need to send a card...your kind comments are just the best!!!!! Hugs!!!
That 1854 Sampler is stunning. I want to stitch a sampler of that date. I think it would ba cool cause I was born in 1954.
Love you two. Love everything you showed. God Bless!❤️☮️🇨🇦
Thank you Deb!!! That is a great idea you have!
Thanks for another great show, ladies. Brenda, take care of yourself. Stitching will come back when its time. I tell my students who keep abandoning books "you will enjoy reading again when you find your just right book." For now, just enjoy looking at all your beautiful pieces. Laura, so happy for your TAB haul! Lovely show of WIPS!
Thank you so much Kathy!!!!!! Great advice!!!!
Your videos are so much fun! So many designs and so little time, so much enabling. I have seen so many samplers that I might never have seen if not for you! Thank you for sharing your love of stitching and your friendship with all of us.
Thank you for your lovely and kind comments Donna!!!
I know we have never met, but when I watch your Flosstube videos, I feel that I am visiting with my best friends. I appreciate the effort you go to putting these videos together. You are amazing! In reference to the fabric that you purchased Laura, Platinum is one of my favorite fabrics to use. I like getting my fabrics from Kittenstitcher and love the selection she offers. I need to try some of the other fabrics that both of you have talked about but love the information you have shared of what you like and why. Right now I am into stitching Blackbird strawberries and I am collecting as many of the Blackbird charts I can for my stash. I have several stitched and will try to do the finishing on all of them as soon as I finish stitching them all!!!! I have been away from stitching for 20 or so years and now that I am retired, stitching as fast as I can each day to catch up! There are so many wonderful things out there to stitch, it is hard to choose when you have a limited budget to work with every month. So sorry to hear you have been sick Brenda and I hope you are feeling better. Don¨t worry about not stitching, it will come back in time and you will be back to yourself again in no time! You ladies make me smile and brighten my day and always so sad when one of your videos come to an end. I will be waiting faithfully for the next one! May you stay safe in these difficult times and look forward to seeing you on your next video. Desi Tea Time Stitcher
Thank you so much Desi!!!! Loved reading through your comments. It sounds like you are having a great time stitching those strawberries! And if you get one BBD book, like The Sewing Club book, you will have enough stitching to keep you busy all year. That might help with the budget. Realistically that is what I should do, but you know how that goes....................... Thanks for the advice for Brenda....I know she is feeling more like herself every day! Hugs!
I loved this video so much. It was good to have you back, and I’m glad you are feeling better, Brenda. It warmed my heart to see you get such lovely gifts. We all appreciate you so much! Thank you for sharing you talent with us and your love of cross stitch. And, of course, Go Blue!
Thank you so much Rebecca!!
You both generously share your friendship and love of stitching with us that it’s not surprising that stitchers want to say thank you :). I’m blown away by the creativity and thoughtfulness stitchers put into your gifts to personalize them for each of you. I was smiling and agreeing with the Ten Commandments of stitching as you read them :))). Laura, I enjoyed seeing your small samplers and if possible would you please make it a law to have a small sampler going at all times? Just for the record I am in compliance with the law of always having a red sampler in the works :). Brenda, I’m glad you’re feeling better. And going through your stash like you’ve been doing to see what inspires you is the best way I know to get back into your stitching groove. As you always say Blackbird is comfort stitching and I think that’s what you need right now. Thanks for another entertaining video.
Thank you so much Linda!!!!!!! I will definitely take it under advisement about adding the small sampler law. I think I need to write down all the laws in one place so I don't forget.....oh wait, I have the new project bag!!! It is so amazing! Yes, let's add that to the laws!
Great seeing you two! Brenda a little tidbit of Info on “ our boy” hence your Michigan sweatshirt! Tom and our son went to the same high school! I find myself often defending him but people don’t know how kind he’s been to his old high school. He’s donated one of the cars he won to the school auction and numerous autographed footballs. He hasn’t forgotten where he got his start. The game was kinda boring but I’m glad the bucs won. And the greatest of all times still is Joe Montana!!! Be well, stay warm and stitch what makes you happy!!!!😀
Thanks Patti!!!!!!! That is a great story and so wonderful!!!!!
Oh my gosh Brenda I hope you are really on the mend !! Much love to you both ... my stitchy friends! You were missed last week but so happy to be inspired (enabled!! ) by your projects today !!! Now I just need to bring my fabric choices to Brenda also to tell me which one to use 😂 ! Laura I’m loving the small samplers!! So of course online shopping for me next 😳😳 multitasking sampler searching and Super Bowl!!
Thanks Renee!!!!! Hope you found lots of good stuff when you were multitasking!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 too many of course !! I need to live another 50 years to do all the samplers 😳
@@prairiestitcher515 Agreed!!! Maybe 500 more years!
Brenda and Laura, it was a wonderful experience watch this video...love the friendship you both show...Brenda our bodies take time to heal...your stitching bug will be back soon...Laura, congratulations on your finish and love your little gems samplers...wishing you both JOY and happy stitching...we do appreciate all that you do for your FlossTubers❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your kind comments Loretta!!!! Hugs!
I have made a decision! I’ve just watched and thoroughly enjoyed your first video...I’ve decided to watch them all in sequence! It may take awhile, but I don’t want to miss a thing. 😊
You both provide so much inspiration and encouragement, and we all can use that right now! Thank you! 💕
So glad to see you both yesterday! I am not the least bit surprised at all your gifts. You bring so much enjoyment to us through watching your videos. Brenda, I hope you get your stitching mojo back on track. You were always such an inspiration to me. And no need to ask me to shop even though I have to do all my shopping on line. I try to order from brick and mortar shops when I can. I think a package comes for me almost every day - so fun!
Thank you Susan!!!!!!!! A package a day keeps the crabby mood away!
Love you both, & so enjoy everything that you share: stash, knowledge, humor & finishes. Don’t ever stop. Oh, if you could pass along to Lisa, that I would love to purchase a 10 commandments bag, if she would consider making more. Much appreciated. Brenda, I hope you can find your happy place again soon. Stay safe & well. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!!!!! If we ever hear of those bags being made we will let everyone know! They are amazing!
Two gorgeous ladies making our world a happier place. Thank you so much to you both. Take care and stay safe ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much Marion!!!! That is so kind of you!
LOVE the 10 commandments of stitching! Thanks ladies for another great video. Hope your stitchy bug comes back, Brenda!
Thanks Jaime!!!!!!!
Your friendship just oozes out in your videos! Glad you’re feeling better Brenda and I hope you get your stitch bug back all the way!!💕Michele
Thank you so much Michele!!!!!!
What wonderful gifts yo both received. Such blessings to you both. Brenda I hope you get your stitching going as your normal soon. Laura some wonderful stitching going on. Congratulations on your beautiful stitching finishes. Blessings and happy stitching.
Thank you Clare!!!
Hi Brenda, I hope you can snuggle under a warm blanket and have a wonderful stitching weekend.
Thank you Mary!!!!!!! I am sure that is Brenda's plan!
Your generosity of spirit and sharing of your passion for cross-stitch is inspiring. It's a pleasure when I look at the length of your video before I watch it. The longer it is, the more notes I take to remind myself to get out a pattern that I own or one that I want to own. It's so fun to look at the framed pieces behind you. Thank you, thank you!
Thank you for your wonderful comments Marjorie!!! We have such fun doing the videos and I am so happy that you like the longer ones!!!! There is just so much to discuss!!! Hugs!!!
The pillows on what you guys say all the time. Omg. So darling and so kind.
Isn't that just amazing???? We are lucky ducks!
You were missed, glad to hear that you are alright, you two make my Sunday afternoon.
Thank you Shirley!!!
Thank you ladies. You inspire me to stitch and I love stitching with you. I will support Acorns & Threads this week. I so enjoyed seeing the gift from the Oregon State mom. My son and daughter in law are OSU graduates and I love living in Oregon. Its wonderful to watch you appreciate the shower of love shown to you. Please take care and stay well.
Thank you so much Carol!!!! I plan on going to Acorns and Threads someday for sure! Those pillows from OSU Mom were so amazing!!! Oregon is one of the most beautiful places on Earth!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 If you ever get to Oregon I would love to meet you at Acorns & Threads!!
@@carollorion5130 It's a date!
Well you have certainly enabled me today, Laura. I want to buy all of the charts you shared today. Brenda, love you and your calm demeanor. Thank you ladies for another great video. Love the gifts you were given. What a great community.❤️
Thank you so much Catherine!!!
Absolutely enjoyed this video! So much enabling and such sweet gifts. Happy Valentines to you both!
Thank you Michele!
Hope you get your stitching mojo back soon Brenda! Thank you for another great video. Laughed out loud about the 10 commandments of stitching! Also laughed at the irony of Brenda's serial starts and Laura's finishes. I so enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Thank you Susan!!!!!
Brenda, I am so glad you feel better! Loved seeing all the things! Pineberry Lane really is an amazing designer! Thanks for sharing your gifts - you have no idea how much joy and happiness you spread. Thanks as always ladies!!!
Thank you for your very kind comments Wanda!!!! Hugs!!!
Hello! I love seeing all your lovely patterns, fabric and floss! Happy stitching ladies!
Thank you Karla!!!!
My parents used to sing “Mares Eat Oats” ALL OF THE TIME growing up. I was so confused because my maiden name is “Mayer”. So I thought it was “Mayers Eat Oats”.....lol
That is hilarious Betsy!!!! So glad that we all know that delightful song! I forgot to mention the most important thing about it...my grandpa used to sing it to my mom!!!
My mom used to sing this too!!!
Hahaha! Thank you, Betsy! I am laughing because all my life, (i just turned 67!) I thought the song was “Maresied Oats”! 😂 And I had no clue what kind of oats that could be! Thanks for clearing that up for me! 😄 💕
Meline
Ha ha! It wasn’t until I was a teenager that I heard the real words to this song. When I was younger, I thought it was, “Mares eeee dotes and dotesy dotes and little lambsy divey “, which made no sense. LOL
Thank goodness you are back I thought I had missed you Brenda you must take care stay warm you are very pale and the fact you haven’t been stitching you must be very unwell you two ladies are the saving grace of so many people over the pandemic and we all need you so mind yourselves lots of love and good thoughts xxangela in ireland 🇮🇪🙃❤️

It was nice catching up with you two today. So much inspiration and education! You received some very nice gifts from your 'friends'...that is exactly how you make us (your viewers) feel.

Thanks Billie!!!!!! That is exciting that you are going to stitch Christmas Rose!!!!!! Have fun with it!!!! Hugs!
The Laura show! Lol. Loved it all!
Fyi. We are -33 C or -27F today here in Saskatchewan Canada... Staying warm by the fireplace, crafting and watching flosstubes and the Superbowl!
I hope things have warmed up a bit Pauline!!!!! If not, stay inside and stitch!
Hope you get your mojo back soon Brenda! Love all your gifts. So personal! Thanks for bringing joy to us again this week!! Love you guys!
Thank you so much Desiree!!! Hugs!
You are both so worthy of your treasures you received. You both are so kind and your feelings come right through floss tube 🥰.
That is so special of you to say Patricia. Thank you very very much!!!
So glad to see you back...Brenda, so glad you are feeling better...
Another great flosstube!
Thank you Carol!!!
Liked the variety of short samplers you shared Laura. Well wishes to you Brenda. Another enjoyable episode.
Thank you so much Michelle!!!
It’s good to see you two back on the air. Glad you are feeling better Brenda! I want to load my serger into my car and drive to Laura’s house and trim those big pieces of linen and serge them up for other projects.....You both inspire me. Thank you for being you.
Thank you so much Sue!!!!!! Are you in Illinois???? We could meet halfway for a serging party! Hugs!
I am in New Hampshire...near the coast....but it would be a nice ride I am sure. ❤️
Brenda, I think Laura stole your mojo lol. Glad you're feeling better. Thank you lovely ladies for another week of fun and folly!
Thank you Deborah!!!
So glad you are back and glad you are feeling better Brenda. Those bags with the 10 commandments so fabulous! Thank you for your wonderful videos!
Thank you Barbara!
So glad you are feeling better, Brenda. Got to get that mojo back though. I always enjoy watching you two. Lucky Brenda with the handy wood working husband (Carol Saltbox Stitcher too!). And yes, Nicole's Louisa Barny got to me too. Ack! Take care, both of you!
Thank you Margaret!!!!!!!!
Hi Brenda and Laura. So glad to see both of you. I missed you last week. I had a feeling one of you was ill and I thought it was Brenda, I don't know why. I hope you are feeling better now, Brenda. You still have that great sense of humor and funny remarks. Laura, you came through like a champ with all of your starts and wonderful stitch parade. You're a great friend. Thanks for sharing. Brenda, your husband makes you the most fabulous things! The ipad holder is SO pretty! I agree, it is a work of art. I hope you both have a great two weeks, and that Brenda gets her MoJo back. I think she will, once she feels better. Love you girls. Take care. Pam Miller
Thank you so much Pam!!! Your comments are so heartwarming!!!!! Sending you a big hug!
Thanks ladies! Inspired as always! The bags with the Ten Commandments of Stitching are AMAZING! What a wonderful gift!!
Isn't that amazing??????? I love those bags. We are so lucky!!! Hope you have a good stitching weekend!
Oh Brenda, I hope you are feeling better. Stay home and stitch stitch stitch!! Lol
Laura, I was thinking about what you were saying about the blending on 40 count. You could try one leg of the cross with one color and the other leg with the other color and see how that works out. That's the only thing that came to mind to help you out with that.
Such wonderful patterns and fabrics and threads all the way around. Thank you ladies for sharing all your goodies with us. Take care, Ruth.
Thank you Ruth!!!! Thank you for your kind comments and your ideas!!! I will think about that!
You received those gifts because you bring so much joy to people so do not feel like you don’t deserve them - because you do. Hope your stitching mojo returns soon Brenda and glad you are feeling better. 💕
Thank you so much Barbara!!!! Your reinforcement helps! Hugs!
The 10 Commandments made me laugh out loud. I am glad you were back this week. Brenda, I hope you continue to feel better and get your stitching mojo back. It's hard to get your energy back after being sick sometimes.
Thank you very much Nancy!!!!
Wow you guys are so loved and so humble! Stitching is def the tie that binds and its good to share the love❤️.. Brenda hope you are feeling better and those needles start flying soon. Laura.....love the smalls and great to see Anna Millet on your list. I’m enjoying changing it up and planning the next one. Grands are in school four days a week so if it lasts I’ll be able to be more productive! Enjoyed our time together today!
Thanks so much Angel!!! Your IG posts always inspire us!!! Hugs!!!
Wow outstanding video as always! I had to watch and stop your video while checking eBay, Etsy, Traditional Stitches, etc and shopping for patterns. I’ve been in a slump too Brenda, while stitching Sarah Stewart Hardman and feel the need to start something else. I like your idea of small samplers Laura. What precious gifts you both received. So very thoughtful. Stay safe ladies ❤️
Thank you Carol!!!!!! Sarah Steward Hardman is a difficult stitch...in terms of how much work is involved so I think it is a great idea for you to do a small sampler too. Happy Stitching!
Oh, my head is spinning after this Flosstube episode. So many things added to my list. Love you guys! THANK YOU for "sharing your love of stitching." Off to shop!
Thank you so much Tammy!!!!!! I would love to see what is on your list! Have fun shopping!
Hope you feel better soon Brenda - Sorry to hear that you was sick.
Love all of your WIPS - The Fabrics is so pretty as well as the Threads.
Happy Stitching ❤️🧵🪡🧵❤️
Thank you so much Linda!!!!
What an awesome video. Your love n friendship for each other shines thru the lens! Hope you get to feeling yourself again Brenda. Happy stitching 💕
Thank you Maria!!!
Brenda I'm glad to hear you're feeling better!" I'm sure your stitching MOJO will return soon. Laura, loved everything you stitched and your linens too! Happy stitching ladies!!😊💜
Thank you Laura!!!!
So good to see you guys again and thankful Brenda is on the mend. And glad others are reaching out to you both... am thinking folks like to 'give back' and you two are very giving with your time and efforts to keep us stitchers encouraged and inspired! I love that red on the 38 ct Filbert Laura showed, I may just have to do a red sampler with that! And have to pick up a couple more of those little gems from HATS too! Brenda, hope you can rest up and don't stitch if you aren't up to it; take all the time you need. Maybe this is your time to just soak in the lovely things others have stitched (I love looking at the stitchers' galleries (their pages) on IG, always inspires me). Quite honestly, I think like 'art appreciation' courses, looking at others' work can be just as important as doing the craft itself. Have a good couple of weeks or so until we meet again!
Thank you so much for your lovely lovely comments Theresa!!!
All those wonderful gifts. A true indication of how much you are loved. I am always so excited when I see a new video from you two. So comforting. Hope you feel better soon Brenda and that your stitching mojo returns very soon. I am sure it is just a matter a time. Sometimes a rest is good. ❤️
Thank you very kindly Betty!!!
Your fans love you and shower you with gifts ♥️. Nice to see you ladies, glad you are feeling better Brenda. Loved all the goodies. Stay safe and stitch all the things!
Thank you Margaret!!!
Love the 10 Commandments of Stitching, perfect!! You two ladies make me so happy by watching your friendship come across in your Flosstube 💕
Thank you Cathy!!!! Aren't those commandments the best?!!!!! Wooohooo!
