Girlssss!!! You’re a ray of light in this crazy world! Thanks for all the inspirationsn❤

[@sherrieainsworth8178]

I enjoy watching you two!! The way Laura talks about her mom really touches my heart!! My mom was my biggest fan when it came to my stitching or quilting and I miss her everyday! 😢 Continue to treasure the time you have with your sweet mom and keep stitching!!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you Sherrie. We are sending you a big hug!

Lots of fun charts and bags and all the stuff. Love you ladies.

Hello Ladies! Thanks so much for the shout-out about my bag and Etsy shop (Hummingbird Hollow). I actually have been on a break/hiatus since January due to the loss of my SO and BFF. I haven't been sewing much at all, but will be moving at the end of the year to a new house with a fabulous sewing and quilting room, so I hope to be back with some new goodies to share. It's been a rough year for me, but things are finally looking brighter. Thanks so much to you both for all your kindness in the past, and I hope to be back at it again by next year. Hugs to you both! Suzie Ellis

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Oh say Ladies! I'm so excited because I just got my first 100 3 silk thread, oh my gosh I love it! You ladies look really good and I'm always happy to see y'all. Love your stitching. See you on the 15th. Always so happy when I see you post a flosstube.

Thank you so much!!!!!!! Sorry to dissapoint, but we will be a week later on our FT....10/22.

When I was young, I had one Beatles 45 record. I was playing it very, very loud on the front porch when our pastor stopped by for a surprise visit! My mother (age 94 this month) still reminds me how embarrassed she was! I'm all hepped up about fall stitching now! Thanks for making me smile!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

That is funny Barbara!!!!! Please tell your mother hello from us!!!!! Maybe you can play her a Beatles song!!! Glad you are hepped up about fall stitching!

Hello ladies. I’ve just got back from TGBSW. You were right… it was utterly fabulous! I cannot tell you how amazing this was for my very first stitchy weekend. The people, the planning, the gifts, fabrics and charts… I could go on but don’t want to make you jealous. 😂 I had the best time and will be on a stitchy high for a long time. It was a big ‘OH SAY’ weekend and I’m now overloaded with information, inspiration and a whole host of new and talented friends.

I love watching you both so much. I bingewatched all of your youtubes in the last 3 weeks and loved everyone of them. Now I guess I have to wait like everyone else for the next one. Also, I had 1 project bag in my possession in the time I have been stitching 30+ years but thanks to you two, I purchased at least 20 more in the last 3 weeks and I don't even want to discuss the stash that I added. You two are just awesome.

Another fun and exciting video, the Project bags from the HATS tea towels great, the new patterns and floss lovely. And thanks so much for supporting our Kentucky Craftsman RNR Works, they are great to work with, and the new Spool Holders are stunning. love the cedar wood look. I just ordered two new 9 inch floss winders a few weeks ago in the cherry wood, really quick shipping. Loved spending my Sunday Afternoon with you both.

Love the Beatles. Ringo was my favorite - (my last name was also Starr). Got to see them when I was 16 at the Pubic Auditorium in Cleveland, Ohio. My ears were ringing for days after all the screaming.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

You are so lucky that you got to see them in person! Wild!

When I was a kid ( 6 or 7 years old) I was in a Beatles Club with the kids in the neighborhood who were a variety of ages older than me. I remember crying at one of our “ meetings” because they wouldn’t let me be Ringo! 😂 Loved this Floss Tube . I also love the Fall. Can’t wait to see what is in the “ Red Box”

Also at TGBSW--and like Laura, I could have been the one winding thread (seriously, though, I was too busy taking notes during all the fantastic presentations to do much stitching). You had me laughing as usual, and this time it was about the password situation. Gift idea for all your friends and family -- a password book. Years of working in a library taught me that many, many people do not keep track of them!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Oh!!! I bet you had fun at TGBSW!!!!! It looks like it was the best retreat in the world. You know...if we had password books we could not find them when we need them!!!!

I’ve been trying to catch up over 4 years of your flosstubes, but weakened and had to jump to now to see you are both okay. You are a tonic for my soul. My favourite Beatle has always been Paul, for over 50 years, I was supposed to marry him, unfortunately I was under 5 years old at the time. I have come back to cross stitch after a 10 year break. I have so much time to make up 😂 Thank you for the hours of company, I’ve had to rip out some stitches because I’m watching you instead of concentrating on the stitches. Wendy (South Wales UK)

Welcome back to stitching!!!!!!!! So happy you are here!!!!!! Thank you for your kind words...and I am sorry that your marriage to Paul did not come to fruition!

i laughed so hard when you were talking about opening your "red box"! I recently won the grand prize from the BeStitchMe anniversary. One day last week a large box arrived containing one of every color of Brandy's silk threads. I was so happy my husband was on a project out in the barn so I could sit in my chair with my favorite tunes blaring, a stiff drink and my pretty package and just enjoy the moment.

Brenda: My son-in-law took my 4 year old granddaughter to her first Michigan game the same weekend you went. She loved it and came home chanting all the cheers for my daughter. I thought about you all there at the same time. Glad it was a win. Laura: I think I'm more in love with the Beatles now than when I was younger. I was never a huge band fan. Now I listen to the Beatles channel on Sirius all the time. Paul may be just slightly ahead of George on my list. Have a safe trip Laura and we will see you both in a couple of weeks.

There's a nice cross stitch/quilt shop in London called Stitch It Central, and on the way in the countryside in the lovely town of Blenheim a wonderful cross stitch/quilt shop called Pastime Pieces. Definitely worth the little side trip to a beautiful shop!

Again, you two!! I was writing notes down of stuff just so I could keep up with you.. Okay first of all, Brenda, your Jane Parsons is gorgeous... I gasped when I saw the first time you showed it a couple videos ago, and gasped again... Stunning! And you had to mention the flower thread again!! Argh... you are killing me, I'm dying to get this floss so bad... But waiting so patiently for the set to come back, and let me tell you, it is hard to be so. Laura you almost had me in tears over your notes from Australia; you made me feel the feels. I did want to know the Lords Prayer behind Laura - is that a stitched piece or a framed picture? So pretty, and caught my eye. I tried to order the Red Box, and got on at the precise time and everything just crashed. It finally came back on, and my pocketbook said "Not at this time", which sucks, because I would have loved to have gotten that. Will you do a reveal video? I would love to see the charts; and do they come out in a year after the box is out? And those tea towels!!! Brenda you had me gasp again over the bag of Ann Thomas!! OMG... of all of them, that bag did me in. Now I have to hunt for the tea towels... I do have the tea towel that I got for King Charles' coronation, which I planned on framing... but now you have given me evil thoughts LOL. Laura, have you thought of doing AKGIT on Maritime White with Chalkboard thread? That would be stunning. Just a thought, not trying to torment you. Just saying. And thank you both for allowing my rambling here, and thank you for all you show and talk about. You two are GEMS!!! Laura , please be safe traveling! Love you both, Hugs and Love, Jen

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments Jen!!!!!! I think Nicola will do a reveal of her latest red box......not sure if she will release charts later. Oh no...the idea about the Maritime What with Chalkboard is so good...........but I absolutely cannot do a 3rd start...but maybe I can? Hope you have a great stitching weekend!

I definitely think you can! :D you know you want to! LOL I did have a question about the spool holder(s) - will they hold Aurifil floss spools? I just got my first color in that line and it is to die for (Aubergine). And how does one handle WDW and GAST threads? I have a few of them, and am not sure how to work them? I mean how do you put them on floss drops like you do, or are they already "lined" up to go, as it were? Hugs and Love, and looking forward to your "Tales of The Great North". ❤

I made that Teresa Kogut Halloween sampler last year. I got it for Christmas and finished stitching it on March 1st. I wasn't crazy about the recommended Colonial Copper floss. I do love the finished piece but it is not very orangey at all--it has a burnt umber vibe. It looks more orange in the photo than how mine turned out. I stitched mine two threads of floss over one, tent stitch, on 28 count Cafe Au Lait. Photos are on my DeviantArt gallery page, under the name Kimsophia.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Why thank you! and I think I was using one of your floss drops on one of my projects!

[@disorderlystitcher]

Thank you both for the shout out! Now that I've officially retired from teaching high school, our releases should be a bit more frequent! We so enjoy watching the banter between the two of you - AND the enabling! Have a great week!

My Beatle choice is George also! Another fun episode ladies. You're helping me get into fall stitch mode. Have fun in Canada Laura!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

George was my favorite Beatle too! But I’ve seen LOTS of live Stones concerts…even one in Wales.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Ohhhh! The Rolling Stones in Wales!!! What fun!
