Brenda and the Serial Starter - Episode

[@chriswiniecki2586]

Hello Brenda & Laura. You are special guests. If it wasn’t for your Floss Tube I would not have a lot of the stitchy goodness that I have acquired since getting back into cross stitch. Your Floss Tube is not only entertaining, & inspiring with all your cross stitch pieces, but has a lot of cross stitch information (like retreat info, inspiring floss tube channels to watch, new & old patterns to buy, sites to get great project bags, & other cross stitch accessories, & great linens & threads). For stitchers like me who do not have an LNS near them this information is invaluable. That makes you special guests in my book. Thank you both for taking your time to keeping us informed & inspired.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you so much Chris!!!! We really appreciate your kind comments and support!

[@jbwdesignscrossstitch4750]

You give me heart palpitations when you showed the beautiful finishes by Terri that your mom stitched Laura! I can’t thank you enough for the kind words from you both. You are such a joy to watch and always make us laugh out loud! I’ve had Terri do a lot of finishes lately and her work is impeccable. Hugs to you both!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you Judy!!! Your work gives us heart palpitations!!!!!! Yes, Terri is such a great finisher! So happy that she is working on your models!!! Sending love and hugs back to you!

[@JanHarper-w4c]

You are special guests because you are both so special. You bring joy and laughter to all of us. Your enthusiasm is catching and the folks at Hobby House will love having you there. Thanks for the fun. Jan

[@juliebyrne4170]

Nice gentle rain here in Southern Indiana and I am watching your fabulous FT and stitching. Feeling pretty content.😀 I have found a SUPERB framer in Louisville, Kentucky! FRAMES OF MIND, Brenda Haley. She has a beautiful frame selection. She laces the needlework (unlike my local Hobby Lobby, they use sticky board!) Her turn around is usually 2 weeks and her prices are reasonable for sure. She is a stitcher that handles my cross stitch with care.

[@AngelaHaley-fl3pk]

Thank you Julie. I enjoyed working with you on framing your beautiful sampler!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

That is great Julie!!!!!!!! Maybe we will give her a try too! Thank you!

So glad to find you today! I looked for your flosstube Saturday and thought I missed this week's 'tube! But no, here you are, Yay! Another stellar 'tube, laughs, poignancy, thrills and excitement. Happy you will be honored as special guests at the upcoming event! Thanks for sharing the stitching eye candy, sooo many gorgeous samplers! Ok see you next time! 🎉🎉🎉

What a great episode! I appreciate you both giving up a rainy Sunday to share so much stitching info/WIPS/laughs with your fan base. I hope you two are up to something that brings you joy while taking a break from floss tube. You will be missed, but I can be patient. Sending you both a hug and gratitude.

Thank you Sandy!!!

[@suzieastgate7474]

Hi to you both from Australia 🇦🇺 Laura, I have a straw solution for your can of drink. After opening, pull the ring tab back over the hole and slide your straw through the larger hole of the tab. The straw won’t rise with the bubbles and cause mess. I’ve never had a problem with wayward straws! Thank you so much for keeping me company whilst I stitch - I’ve learnt so much in the last few months since getting back into stitching. Enjoy your Coke!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

So glad you are back into stitching Suzie!!!!!!!!! Thank you for the straw tip!!!

[@clarec6659]

So much stitching inspiration from your finishes and stitching progress. I so enjoy visiting with you both. Blessings and happy stitching.

Such a delightful episode! So many beautiful patterns. Oh I love Cedar River linen and her new colors are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing all your goodies, however, my wallet is crying! Laura very sad to see you with a diet coke, breaks my heart! Loved seeing all your FFO's and your mom's stitching is beautiful. Happy stitching 💚

Thank you for watching Linda!

[@MaisyDee]

Oh Brenda I was thinking of you yesterday! We were at The Big House for the game and when USC took the lead and it was so stressful in the last quarter, I elbowed my husband and said, “Brenda must be going crazy right now!!” 😮🫣 The funniest thing is that he knew exactly who I was talking about!! He always asks me what you had to say about the game. 😊

[@chrissieb3350]

GOOOOOO BLUE!

[@maryjosanchez2864]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Wow! I am so inspired ❤

[@sharonmorrison4517]

I had one more thing I thought about this morning. You girls need to know you are an inspiration to the younger girls coming up. You are teaching them how special it is to have the talent of sewing and stitching. In this day and age homekeeping is something to be cherished, as time has not been kind to it. The collections you have are things you have gathered over the years, and you surround yourself with the things that you love. Love. I believe every woman should surround themselves with treasures of their life and history. Thank you. Thank you for all the encouragement. You girls have more swans in your camp than turkeys. Don't ever forget that.❤

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

That is so cool that you were at the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@maryjosanchez2864 Thank you!

[@kathyakins8262]

Love watching you lovely ladies, as always! Thank you for sharing the beautiful stitching and patterns. Also, Laura, here is a trick to keep your straw from floating in your Diet Coke can: turn the pull tab around so that the hole is over the can opening. Stick your straw through the hole. It will fit tightly enough to keep your straw in place. Thank you both for sharing your passion with us. ❤

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you Kathy!!! Yes, I forgot about that trick!

[@emilywilliams3237]

Fantastic stuff, you two. I absolutely love all of your videos. I paused a couple of times to take some notes, as I often do! And all of your finishes and framed items - so great! Thanks, as always, for all the fun!

Another afternoon spent with two very special friends, I hope to meet someday. You always make me smile 😀 and 🛍️ shop. When you said you’d return next summer, I listened twice. Pray you are doing fun things, but prayers will be with you🙏 until you return. I like the tv new season best but I’ll have to be content in reruns of your flosstubes until your return ❤️

Brenda, I can highly recommend the Attic’s conversion for Regina Hable. I am stitching mine on Fox and Rabbit Inca linen and using the Surfine. It is so beautiful and dainty but the colors are so much better in person. Happy Stitching

Brenda thank you for showing the Halloween projects you had framed for a reasonable price. Its nice to see work presented in a simple and affordable way. I have many projects that just need to be framed in a similar way. Not everything is a sampler worthy framing piece.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Yes, weren't Brenda's simple frames exquisite!!!??? I was very impressed!

October is my favorite month as well - maybe because of my Halloween birthday but more likely because we finally get relief from the Texas heat!😂 I will miss you girls when you’re out having fun. I do hope you’re back sooner than later to share your adventures. (At first, I thought Brenda said, “At least until summer”! I did have to rewind and listen again and was much relieved to hear “December” instead.) Take care!

2nd comment!!! Thank you SO MUCH for telling us about The Attic's video discussing stitching on linen!!! I did go over there - ends up I missed that one episode due to it being summer and my spending every weather permitting day on the beach at the end of our street! I learned a lot and where to go to print out nice directions for stitching on linen especially since I am self-taught! You two are incredible!!!! Thank you so much for sharing that!!!!! I apologize for any spelling errors - I cannot see what I'm typing! Long story! Lol!!!! I already cannot wait for your next video!!!!! I LOVE your videos!!!!!!! You two are my favorites!!!!!

A great video once again. You never disappoint. I have learned so much from your information and love of stitching. I know more about linden than I ever thought. I would know. You will be missed greatly and I will be praying for whatever is keeping you occupied during the winter. I'm glad we get two more videos before You're a long sabbatical. Love you both!. By the way, I live close to gazel Kansas and if I get to the museum I will take a picture of the original sampler and make sure you both have a copy of it.

I am so excited to get a piece of this beautiful linen! It will be my first piece of Jodi’s linen. Looking forward to saying hi at the retreat in October!

Wow, Wow, Wow! So much content. First, Laura Congratulations on your finishes. The framing is perfect. Congrats to Nancy on her finishes as well. I also love small sampler stitching. I have done a number of them. Brenda, wonderful framing. How great that you “saved the stitches”. I am always concerned about where my stitching will go when I am gone. I am currently stitching Sarah Moon by The Stitch Box. The charting is awful. I made copies and still have to use my magnifier.. I am using Jodi’s Overcast, 36 ct and love it. Her new colors are perfect. I will have to shoom over to her shop and order some. Have a great time at Hobby House. Once again we will be missing each other. I will be there at the end of October for My Life is a Sampler 2.

Thank you Betsy!!!!!!!! Yay for your very good team!

[@sylviapage8572]

Always entertaining. I didn’t realise 100.3 were good on 40 count linen, I thought you needed at least 46 count to get good coverage. I just ordered the exclusive from Homespun Needlework and because it’s my first time doing fancy stitches I ordered 36 count and the over dyed threads but it wasn’t much more for the silks and now I’m regretting my decision. I thought it would be a good learning piece because as well as the stitches, I can learn the finishing. Very exciting. I agree with all you say about Sian the Periwinkle Stitcher, everything is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing another great video.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you Sylvia!!!! You can try the 100.3 on a little red sampler on 40 count to see how you like them on that count. I think the coverage is fine and dandy and so does Brenda.

[@Kathysimmeth6678]

Great video, loved everything. I am not a big sampler stitcher but would love to see your small samplers. Might be something I may do. Thank you for sharing.

Right with you !! 😂😂 also wanted to say I have been a huge fan of Cedar River Linens from the start. I would say hers are my most favorite linens for the color but hugely for the “hand “ of them as you say. They are gorgeous to use! Fun Flosstube! Thanks a bunch 🍁🍂🍁🍂🧡🧡🧡🧡 whoo hooo Its FALL!!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

[@barbaragray9100]

Wait! What! No videos after November until summer! Not all right! I look forward to your videos every two weeks. I will be in severe withdrawal. At least help us understand why. Love you both.

You’ll be happy to know that isn’t what they said. 🙂

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Oh!!!! No we meant to say probably no new video until December...I will be traveling in November......so sorry for the misunderstanding!

[@barbaragray9100]

Oh thank goodness! I was in such a funk thinking I wouldn’t see you for months. I just love your videos and your beautiful cross stitch. You are so inspiring and the friendship you share is so sweet.
