Brenda and the Serial Starter - Episode

Lots of stitching, finishes, haul and two trips. Hope you enjoy ❤️❤️

[@LowanaJ]

Great video, love seeing all the haul, always gives me ideas of what to stitch 😊. Laura love the idea of the ladies

[@NDQuilter1]

Thanks for a fantastic time with you! I enjoyed every minute. Loved all your stories and so glad you all took such a great trip together. Memories for a lifetime. 😊🫂❤️

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you so much!!!

[@loriswistack4667]

I couldn't stop watching! What beautiful stuff you both got. What an inspiration you both are. Those linens were so beautiful. It must be so much fun every once in a while to just look at it all. I do that as sometimes and I probably have 1/16th of what you both have. Such a treat this was.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you so much!!!!! Yes, just looking at linen, threads and charts is a thrill!

[@stacysanders1965]

Laura you need a few behind the scene stitchers to help you complete those starts. 🤣

[@debraculpepper2396]

What can I say, you two are simply amazing. I am enjoying this video so much I had to tell you! I remember watching you both a while back and you had showed linen from Cedar River Linens, so after you’ll went on and on about it I ordered. I must admit I did a happy dance loved how it was presented and then I opened the box. Oh my goodness how nice and beautiful the linen was! Even a little thank you note too. Needless to say I have ordered more of her linen and waiting patiently for it to arrive. Thank you both so much I definitely trust your recommendations now!😘

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

So so happy that you were pleased with your Cedar River order!!!! Jody is just the best!!!!! Thank you for your kind words that make us so happy!

[@ValerieGoodwin-rr7jj]

[@loisschumacher9869]

All I can say is I have no words(once again). You are so blessed to have all the friends to do trips with. I am a lone stitcher in a rural area. But all these places are on my bucket list, so maybe someday!

[@karenhamilton9528]

I have one of those Blackbird tins from a workshop with Jane Timmers years ago! We lined the tin with BB fabric and she designed a little sampler that became a needle book (plus a couple of other small pieces). It makes me smile every time I see it on my shelf.😊 Enjoyed the video -as usual!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Oh that sounds so beautiful Karen! Can't wait to see what Brenda does with hers!

What a wonderful Floss Tube! I can’t believe your Lakeside haul. You showed so many beautiful samplers and threads. I need to add a lot to my list. Thank you for such a great video.

Aside from all the beautiful patterns, fabrics, and threads - and the wonderful stories - thank you for your smiles.

Thank you for your lovely comment Marcia! Hope you have a good week of stitching!

[@stitchingscottie4505]

Loved hearing about the retreat and your trip to The Attic. You are correct saying that Jean is the absolute sweetest lady ever! I loved your big finish and the WOW samplers from the Red Box. So so beautiful! The dough bowl of ladies is a great idea and you have a great start! If you need a Scottie fix, I show Winston and Stryker every video for my 90 year old mother in law as she loves my two Scottish Terriers. We went camping this past week to escape the heat here in the South. Stay cool and stitch all the things! Dottie

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks Dottie!!!!! Will we see you at Summer School? Hope so!

[@michaeljones4380]

Brenda and Laura!! Greetings from Dallas! Found you a while back and have been enjoying your videos! This one was wonderful with all the haul you showed from the retreat and your trip to the Attic. Who needs to go to a LNS when we have you to show us all the patterns! So great. Thank you for what you two do! ❤️

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you so very much for your kind words!!!!! We really appreciate it!

[@wj3642]

Just love to see what you are working on and your haul, such variety. I live in a city with 1.5 million people (Calgary, Alberta) and we don’t have a cross stitch type store. Michaels is it. So I watch you, keep a notebook of what I like and order from 123 stitch in Texas (best price even when I add in shipping and exchange rate of $1.40). So please don’t think we are bored with all you show.Have a great week.

[@sparky7915]

You have "Traditional Stitches" which is great, in Calgary!

[@barbarahouser]

What a great video of your latest adventures! Oh, to be in your pocket when you go to The Attic and Country Sampler. I love seeing things kitted with beautiful linen and threads, if those things just came with a "day stretcher" it would be perfection! Have a great two weeks and see you next time! xoxo

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Yes!!! We all need a "day stretcher!!!" Great idea! Thanks Barbara!

[@pamsebrell7320]

Laura just killed my budget. After you mentioned Evernote’s Sampler September I went to their website and flosstube saw the sneak peek and shoomed the pre order. Omg, the reproduction sampler! The yarn! Everything. Even with the weaker Canadian dollar I am poorer now. Thank you ladies, again, for your great videos!

All I can say is WOW! Was the Attic trip a last minute decision? How wonderful that you had quiet stitching time with Jean. And then The Country Sampler… holy cow. You met my friend Renee Larson. I met her at the Quilters Station Cross Stitch Extravaganza in April. We just hit it off and have been in contact She is so talented and a happy soul. I would love to go to Country Sampler next year. What is the closest airport to fly into from NJ? I love everything you two bought. I was sweating by the end of your video. 😂❤

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks Ruth!!!!!!!! Attic trip was planned for a bit......So happy to hear of your wonderful friendship with Renee. I think the closest airport would be Madison, Wisconsin. It might be less expensive to fly to Chicago and then drive 3 hours up to Country Sampler......It is worth it!!!

Heavens to Murgatroyd! What hauls!! Great episode and it was good to see y'all again. I must say, my mind is kind of blown, but in a good way. Haha. Loved everything you showed. Thanks for sharing. Oh Brenda, i am also waiting for my beautiful sampler kit from Homespun Needlework Fb group to arrive. I couldn't get it ordered fast enough. And I can't wait to see the new fabric that is being used for it! Pam Miller

Thank you Pam!!!!!!! The linen that comes with the kit is SO GOOD!!!

Great fun as always!! Maybe some day I’ll get to attend a retreat ❤ and yes! I like the temperature like the tundra/meat locker 😂

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

You have to go to a retreat Trish! They make your soul sing!

Another great episode full of inspiration. I had to pause several times to order patterns😉. Brenda, we’d love to see the Stacy Nash patterns you bought.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Great Flosstube, as usual!! That Lakeside haul, Brenda. The thing dreams are made of!!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Yup! Dreams are definitely full of Lakeside haul! Thanks Karen!

[@conniekainer1233]

Oh that Lakeside haul. I became a linen stitcher after it was hard to find and have never gotten the chance to try it. 😢. Great video as always.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Connie! Call Lynn's of Madison, In Stitches or Acorns and Threads. They often get Lakeside and they can be on the lookout for you!

[@JustOnlyKristi]

Thank you for watching!

I wish you guys would have said you were coming to the Attic, I live 10 minutes away and I would have stopped by to visit. My husband is from Iowa and his grandmother loved violets also. We have the table she had them on and he won’t let me refinish the top because the stains remind him of his grandmother. Thank you for such wonderful videos, I look forward to them.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

That violet story is so wonderful! We will be back at the Attic for summer school!
