Brenda and The Serial Starter - Episode

[@lisaduffin2114]

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”

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks Lisa! What a great story that is! We would definitely let you be Ringo!

[@soulfulcrane]

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

[@nevarichey7352]

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.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

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

[@rachaelthecreativecleric]

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.

[@lesliedelooze3681]

I was there, too, and overload is exactly the word. It will take a while to fully process.

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

Brenda your Jane Parson is gorgeous~ I can't wait to see her finished and Laura you never disappoint with your wips and wanna-starts. I'm just about to riffle through my halloween charts! BTW George is my favorite Beatle too. Here comes the Sun is one of the best songs ever written. Sending you both lots of love!🌻🌻🌻

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.

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

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!

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.

[@kimedge7493]

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]

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.

[@jennifers4051]

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!

[@jennifers4051]

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". ❤

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)

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you Joyce!!!!!

Your haul was amazing, Brenda. Definitely some special stuff. For faffing about, you only had a few WIP's you worked on and you made some good progress on the, Laura. Another great episode. It was great to visit with you ladies.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you so much Emmy!

[@marciaclifford7107]

So much enabling - so little time! Have a great retreat, Laura! Thanks, ladies.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you Marcia!

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!!!!

Hi Ladies!! Brenda I am with you. Rolling eyes with Beatles. They were only a band for 4 yrs. What is the big deal people? The Stones and U2 have been together far longer. Haha! 🤣 Laura your H&H and be “headaches and hysteria” too. Have a safe trip to London, OT and give Caroline a big hug for me. I agree with Mike. The NPI is best. I was at the Samplers Remembered Retreat with Little Robin Designs. Fabulous retreat and so much fun. The weather was fabulous and. I missed most of tropical storm Ophelia. I have the little box top started and hope to finish soon. Stay well and Go Michigan! Hugs, Teresa

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Theresa we can discuss this further in Philadelphia!!! Hah!!! Glad you missed the storm at your retreat. Is your little box top finished yet?

I’m looking forward to getting the red box!!!! Depending on when it arrives determines whether I open it for my birthday in November (65) or wait until Christmas!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

I don't think you are going to be able to wait until Christmas Jennifer................maybe you can start one of the samplers from it on Christmas......

[@jenniferblubaugh]

@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 the red box arrived today! So I have 2 weeks until my birthday! I will open it then…if I can wait…
