First of all I love watching your Flosstube. You made me look at Samplers a lot differently. And to all the criticism….. (1.)These 2 ladies are NOT responsible for Exclusive charts . You email the designers and let them know how you feel. Period. (2.) Just because they stitch with silks , 100 3’s…. You can still use DMC. There is no shaming on that. Not everyone can afford those. Same with their choice of Fabric. You can always use Aida . No shaming. It’s your preference. (3.) The retreats they go to are THEIR CHOICE. I’ve checked into the price of some of those, I can’t afford it , but I’m not shaming them for going to some place that makes them happy. I stick with what I can afford and makes me happy. (4.) The Jingle Ball was $10. You didn’t have to take classes. You could just go and buy the patterns…. Most were download… instant gratification. You spend that amount to get into the movies, craft shows etc. It was for 72 hrs and you could purchase something in the middle of the nite if you felt so inclined to do so. Life doesn’t have to stop. (5.) Everyone has a different dollar amount that they can spend on this hobby. Just because others can afford more is not a crime. I buy what I can afford. What I like about their Flosstube is I’m not watching commercials every 3 minutes, that is so annoying. They don’t monetize their channel for money. Nor do they do giveaways . All they are doing is showing us a hobby they love . Period. No reason to criticize them. This is a Hobby…not a Competition….No reason to be not to be kind.

Brenda and Laura, so nice too see you back again. So sorry about your back surgery, Brenda, but glad you are doing well. Before I watched your FlossTube today, I spent the morning going through the charts I was hoping to complete last year, and what I want to complete this year, and possibly a few more, with the goal of "focusing" as well as you. I gathered all of my "fully kitted" projects and am putting a priority on them. I have 20 that are in my "right now" bin and 20 that are in my "future" bin. The one that I started today is actually a fully kitted project that I purchased from "The Cross Stitch Place" in the mid '90's. It even has the old Wichelt that I will be using. I have an excel spreadsheet with over 500 cross stitch patterns, so time to "buckle up buttercup". Have a great Christmas and New Year,

So glad to see you both back. I enjoy both of you so much. You’re the perfect pair! 😊 I attended the jingle ball last year for the first time and was so looking forward attending this year too but, for some reason, I did not buy my jingle ball ticket when they went on sale or not even a week or two afterwards and now I know why. I had to have semi-emergency back fusion surgery on December 4. I had fusion surgery 2 1/2 years ago and didn’t know that it never worked. And now the vertebrae above the fusion was also severely pinching nerves. My surgery, with a new neurosurgeon, was a success and I was out of the hospital in two days. Half the time of my first surgery. I’m walking around fine but it is paining me more the last couple of days so I thought I’d sit down tonight and cross stitch and watch you girls! 😃 You never disappoint. Also Laura, when you said Wolf spiders were poisonous I just had to look it up. We have them here in Missouri too and I never knew them to be poisonous. And they aren’t! They would bite you if you really messed around with them but their venom can’t kill you. 😊 Now you can visit Australia and not worry about them! 🤣 Thank you both for all that you do to bring us these enjoyable videos.❤ Take care Brenda, and I wish you a speedy recovery!

You both have been missed so much! Brenda, I had no idea that you were having major surgery, and I am so happy to know that you are recovering well. Laura, love all of your retro stitching patterns! I totally agree with Brenda’s word for 2025 of FOCUS! I have bought way too many patterns that I love and want to stitch, but the new releases keep coming and there is no way to keep up! I have decided that I am going to do a year of Brenda Gervais, and stitch smaller things that I have already bought! I am going to adopt your word also! I am pleased that you were so happy about Michigan winning, but am also glad that you mentioned how terrible the events that occurred after the game were. To me, being from Ohio, but not a follower of Ohio State, the aftermath was so upsetting. It really left a very sour taste for me. Thank you for your comments on the subject! I wish you both a very Merry Christmas filled with joy and peace, and a very Happy New Year! I look forward to what is in store for 2025

In September I was at Stitching in the Wild with Brendan and Karen. Brendan and I actually got to set and chat for more than an hour. He made the comment “everything in Australia is beautiful and it will kill you.” I giggled and said, “But koalas aren’t aggressive!” He replied, “Have you seen those claws?!? However, they are too stoned to do much if anything.” I did a double take… “Stoned? On Eucalyptus leaves?!?” “Oh, yeah,” Brendan replied, “that’s why they move so slow and are constantly eating!” 😂😂😂 It is SO GOOD to see you again!! Keep healing Brenda!

I have truly missed you two. I signed up for the Jingle Ball. I went in and shopped first thing. Glad I did. I stitched Friday evening as well. On Saturday I ran an errand with my husband. I then signed in to stitch. I stitched maybe 8 minutes when all of a sudden I felt horrible. I told the ladies I needed to go. I signed out and told my husband I felt terrible. He asked if I was okay. I looked at him and said no. I told him we needed to get to the hospital. I had a heart attack. I was finally released from the hospital Friday at about 4 pm. My stitching weekend completely ruined. I would love to go to a retreat but they are expensive when fling from Bismarck. It is over a 1k a ticket to Rochester, NY. Have a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.

So happy to see a new video. I could listen to you both all day. Next year I too am trying to be intentional as I pulled all my wips and I am going into the new year with 50 with 2 dating back to 2004! My goal is to finish 25 of those, all the while starting new ones as those fabulous designers are always making me buy new patterns. 😅. Merry Christmas and happy new year from Alberta Canada

It was so lovely to see your faces on screen again! I am so glad your surgery went well, Brenda, and am wishing you a continued positive recovery! I can confirm that I am under 45 and have been happily taking up the mantle of supporting all of the designers, shops, etc. through many, many shopping sprees! I'll also be there at Sampler Symposium, so more than happy to take up the challenge then as well!
