Brenda and the Serial Starter - Episode

[@dianeruno4942]

Brenda and Laura, please know that for every " obnoxious , mean girl" out there, there are hundreds of your followers that love and are continually inspired ( and enabled!) by your flosstubes and what your sharing. I'm guilty of not commenting or thanking you often enough, but you have made such a difference to me and my love of stitching. I'm a long time stitcher, but have few stitchers that live near me, so your flosstubes are a way to " stitch with friends". Many thanks and PLEASE don't stop!

[@kathyc2959]

Same! ❤

[@charlottechapman3710]

Same! I have no one to get excited about stitching with so your videos keep me going! Love the Wips, the stash , the haul but most of all the fun time spent with you!

[@tamipugh3377]

Ditto As soon as you two post I can't hardly wait to watch your Floss Tube. If you two didn't show all the amazing patterns you do I would be board stiff. There isn't a stitching store within an 8 hour drive from me. There are times I go back and rewatch you all and Carol Saltbox stitcher to find a pattern you all show. I have learned about fabric dyers from you all. I also love I can ask a question and learn from you both. Which by the way is the thread for Brenda's new HATS the 103's? What count do you use it on?

[@karenstitchygirl]

Ditto, ditto, ditto 💯

[@patm8751]

Well said !!!

[@michellepemberton3302]

My husband told me "Your Girls" are on today and I came running😂. He actually had the tv all ready to push play. You are loved and appreciated ❤

[@NurseChapel_NCC1701]

That is honestly so sweet and thoughtful of him ❤️

[@sampleystitched]

lol I was going to comment almost the same. Mine said “oh your ladies are on!!”

[@karenbarker5018]

Happy New Year ladies, Happy Birthday, Laura. Please read this out ladies: I have depression, and I stitch to keep it at bay!!!! To all the negative people, there is such a thing as cyber bullying!!!! It is up to all of us stitchers how much we spend, what size our stash is, what we stitch on is up to us!!!!! Nothing to do with anybody else!!!! Stop!!!!! I love Brenda and Laura, I live for their videos and I love flosstube. I live in the UK, so trolls, LAY OFF!!!!!!!!

[@1940sDream]

Good advice & hey, I have 425 pictures of my favorite actor. Lol. We have hobbies. ❤ Take care.

[@SM-sl9dy]

Same here, i stitch to manage my depression and stress. Its been a lifesaver. I love Brenda and Laura, stash included. Its joyous.

[@karenbarker5018]

@1940sDream Amen!! Who is your favourite actor????

[@kckoehler1766]

Laura and Brenda- THANK YOU for the joy and fun you have brought into my life. I look forward to spending time with you whenever you post. You inspire me and the enthusiasm you share makes my life better. Joy - that is what you share and you are both very special. Please never change. ❤

[@conniehoang6809]

Thank you, Brenda and Laura, for sharing all your beautiful work, hauls, stashes. It is hard work to produce videos for our enjoyment- free! What you buy is your decision. Your money. It’s your hobby. Do not listen or let negative comments get to you. I feel people are so inappropriate. We are here to share our love of stitching. If they don’t want to watch your floss tube then don’t watch it. Please know, Brenda and Laura, that we are all so appreciative, thankful for your kindness and hard work sharing your love of stitching . Please Don’t stop!! ❤ Happy belated birthday, Laura!

[@sarahchambers2729]

Proud of you two for addressing the comments and standing up for yourself. "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all." Appreciate you sharing your beautiful stitching, plans and purchases. ❤️

[@Stitchinginthebluegrass]

This is my safe and happy place. Anytime I’m feeling a panic I watch yall. You have no idea what your channel has done for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@susanstandleystitchintime]

You two are the highlight of my day whenever you post a video. My world would be so quiet and sad without you both❤❤❤❤

[@staciefallon5347]

I yelled “my girls are on, hand me the remote!” To my husband. He already knows. I always love watching your stitches and enabling and positivity.! The stitching world is so much better with you both in it. Thanks for another video that drains my pocketbook… haha jk of course.

[@BrendaFuemmeler]

Ladies, keep being the authentic, enthusiastic and sharing stitchers that we've all come to love. None of us have the time for negativity. Please know you are appreciated! I'll continue to stay in my lane and hope others do the same. Happy New Year!

[@DianeBranch]

Never met either one of you but I love you both Always excited to see your videos with all your beautiful stitching. I enjoy enjoy enjoy all of it. Thank you. God Bless you both❤❤

[@DeborahDeLisle]

Brenda & Laura you two have kept this Michigan 71 yr young going strong! This is the 3 rd year I’ve faithfully kept up with my Book Of Days. I record daily if xstitching or quilting. It’s the results at the end that tickle me…always more to do! Tks for what you bring to each episode! 🥰

[@happygma453]

Thank you Brenda and Laura for your floss tube videos. You both inspire - so much to learn and so much to stitch! I appreciate your humor and always learn something new when I watch. Appreciate you both so much!

[@fredamolenkamp-oudman7287]

I’ve taken to watching some of your earlier videos as well and one of the things that really struck me is what the two of you have ‘built’. When you started, many of the designers and linen dyers were just names - today they are friends with whom you have really strong relationships. It speaks to who you are and the value you place on people. Thank you for introducing us to all the things and encouraging us to do what makes us happy! Here’s to a great 2025!

[@lynnchasin3551]

Watched your video last night and had to think of how to let you both know how much I appreciate your videos. I watch several videos a week (I am retired!) and would like you to know that in my opinion you all are the most honest and helpful of all the ones that I watch. After not stitching for about 28 years I had a lot to learn about all the new fabrics and designers and you two have introduced me to so much that is happening in this wonderful hobby. I can not thank you enough for allowing me to visit with you via flosstube!!!! Looking forward to another year visiting with my online friends, Brenda and Laura.

[@tammyb78]

Yahoo! Brenda and Laura watch party today! Please don't let those "few" take the wind out of your sails. You are so right--no one has the right to judge others. You can do whatever you want with your money and what you love to do. I appreciate that you both take the time and energy to share your love of stitching with us! Yes, we want this to be a happy place for you and for us! Happy New Year to both of you! 🥰 Looking forward to many more Flosstubes and seeing the progress on your priority stitching!

[@denisemporter]

Thank you both for always being a bright light and place of refuge from the day-to-day doldrums and helping us all share the hobby we love. You are appreciated beyond measure. All my best today and moving forward.

[@barbaragray9100]

Brenda and Laura, I am so sorry that you received such negative comments. Some people will find offense with anything. They are merely jealous of the many blessings you have. I enjoy your channel and love the friendship you share. I’m always excited to see that you have a new post and love seeing your stitching. Please, never quit! ❤

[@gaylecunningham3614]

Laura and Brenda - you have no notion, I'm sure, of the effect that you and the part of the world of cross stitch that you share with all of us has even the quietest of us. You haave handled the negative nonsense with aplomb and honesty. You have my greatest respect and thanks for sharing your stitching and yourselves with us! Please have a most wonderful 2025!!!!

[@dawnpopovitch1837]

Sending hugs your way! So Sorry you had to deal with negative comments. I so appreciate all you do and I LOVE seeing all your stash and exclusives!!! ❤❤❤

[@jodiarmstrong5881]

I love and appreciate your videos so much! I get so many good ideas, fabric colors and thread options I would not have known without you! And you gals just feel like having a stitching buddy on the other end of the couch! Thank you 😊

[@maryvarnell9665]

Ladies, I want to thank you for your floss tubes. I stitched a couple of projects about 25 years ago and picked back up about 3 years ago after I retired having made as many quilts as my friend and family could stand! There are no LNS' near my home so I have heavily depended on KZbin floss groups. I have learned so much about stitching, designers, floss, fabric, LNS' and retreats, spent so much money and have had so much fun! I am still scared of Samplers but I am working on that issue. Thank you so much for the information and entertainment you two share with all of us. And thanks for the educational information and the enabling. I love it all!

[@galesustad2266]

Thank you for sharing your stitching. I look so forward to your videos. My husband has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and my stitching is all that is holding me together. Please keep posting because I just love your joy of being together. 🤗

[@judithbetz8081]

Although I am not a sampler stitcher, I just want to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I never miss a one! I enjoy how your friendship shines through. I particularly love when Brenda goes into a laughing fit when Laura sets her off. Keep up the good work!

[@elizabethcoleman5437]

All I will say is...I love the two of you and look forward to your videos. I cannot buy and stitch all the things and so love watching you two. You show me what's available out there and I cheer your finishes and admire your haul. Thank you!

[@kathyvancamp]

I found your floss tube early last year when I found cross stitch again. I don’t miss an episode and love both of you. Please never change!

[@tracey936]

I will honor your wishes about the end of your video, except to say you both need to know that you are an ABSOLUTE JOY to the majority of us!! Keep being your wonderful selves and sharing all the cross stitch goodness. I love it here!!!

[@melissaj8384]

Brenda & Laura, you two just keep doing you. Mean girls have no place. Just let it roll of your back. Please do not let negative Nancys upset you. There are many flosstube channels out there. They need to go somewhere else instead of making negative comments on your channel. You have over 22,000 followers, you cannot please everyone. LOVE YOU - can't wait for the next one! Keep stitching ladies! You are fun and an inspiration.

[@Janalynnmillen]

Ok, you ladies have inspired me always. Your joy is contagious. I just have one request. Can you do a video every day? Cause I could use a little dose of you guys at least once a day. I’m sure that’s not too much to ask. Lol.

[@kathymountain4886]

Brenda and Laura, keep doing what you do so well! Block the negativity and just be you. I watch your floss tube because you give me joy and yes an adventure, you make me laugh, I find parts of you both in my own personality and stitching style, you speak from the heart, you are positive, kind and love stitching, you love what you love and aren't we all that way. Negativity and the people that subscribe to that behavior have no place in my life nor in yours. Bless you both and one day may we meet.Keep it up ladies

[@cwhappystitcher173]

Happy New Year to you both and a very Happy Birthday Laura. Please know how much you both mean to the world-wide needlework community. Any haters don't deserve your time and energy. Your flosstubes got me through the pandemic and beyond. I look forward to each and every one you have made...please don't stop. Your love of the craft is infectious. I enjoy seeing your Wips, FO and FFO's. I have stitched for about 50 years but your stash reveals and hauls continually inspire me. Many thanks gals...keep up the marvelous work!!!

[@suzannedeasey3688]

Instead of judging and expressing their opinions, those people need to address them to the right person or place. If they don't like what you are presenting, they just need to look somewhere else. Our country is in a very negative place and I think people are frustrated. Negativity can be very contagious. But that doesn't mean that they should take it out on you. You are doing a great job and I appreciate the fact that you take the time to entertain us and share your love of stitching with all of us. I always look forward to your videos and have watched you since the beginning. Thank you for sharing your time! Happy Stitching!

[@robertasessoms5472]

I enjoy your program. I’m 77 and on fixed income. I know I can’t afford a lot of patterns and supplies but I LOVE watching you show yours. I would not see them. It makes me feel good that the projects you have make you so happy and you love them so much. K eep doing what you’re doing.

[@robinmixon6999]

You 2 are amazing ambassadors to our craft! Do not let negative comments impact the joy you give and receive.

[@kathyoakley7417]

Don”t you two dare take these negative comments you are receiving to heart . Whoever feels the need to criticize you obviously has issues they need to work address. They are unhappy people who thrive on making others feel badly so they feel superior . You two are Awesome and I LOVE your enthusiasm for the stittched thread . You Rock and are beyond appreciated :)

[@mary-louw2946]

Don't let the meanies get to you! I don't even stitch the old time samplers that you ladies do but I love, love, love to listen to your chit chat. You bring happiness to my heart! You are a light in the dark world of negatively!

[@rrseguin7]

Brenda and Laura, I'm so sorry that you got negative comments. I used to watch multiple flosstubes. I love your channel. I love that you talk about your lives and your collection. Please don't let some negative nellies get to you. You are a bright light in my life. I love that Laura drinks her diet coke and Brenda and her football. Please, please don't stop being real!!!! I never read or comment usually, but you need to know that I love your channel, and I'm sad when you take a long break! You guys ROCK!!!

[@EmmyRose22a]

Your flosstube is one of my favorites. I try to watch it as soon as I see it posted. I find your friendship, both with each other and with so many in the cross stitch community, endearing and heartwarming. I love everything you share and find it very inspiring.

[@melissas7605]

I appreciate both of you for being here on you tube because I love to watch your channel. I myself have a lot of stash and will never have enough time to stitch it all. I love going to my LNS and buying new patterns and threads because it makes me happy. I stitch what I love. Thank you for sharing all your beautiful stitching with us!

[@sampleystitched]

I am so sad to have had to pause your video to leave this comment. I can’t believe there are people who would show you any negativity. You are my flossidols and it’s not because of your stitching (which is incredible) or your stash (which is amazing), but because of the positivity you pour into this community with your videos. You celebrate everyone! Shame on those not giving you preferential treatment, you would deserve it all 😉! Thank you for all you do, I am grateful for each video you put out! And thank you Laura, the day you followed me back on Instagram was in my top 10 best days of my life (and you wouldn’t even know you followed me back)! How sad for those too negative to enjoy the joys for what they are! ❤

[@connieenevold1745]

Bless you for sharing your cross stitch journey with us and for all you do for the entire community. Safe travels and have fun at the retreat. You deserve it!

[@jillianludeman8826]

I’m so excited to wake up here in Australia on a Monday morning and see the most amazing two people that enable and inspire my cross stitch . I just love seeing all of your projects and plans and especially your haul . This cross stitch community is very special and we know who we are many thanks for all the effort you both put in to making a floss tube

[@laurawiemann2160]

You are wonderful ladies and I love to see ALL that you like to share with the stitching community. Please don’t let the mean girls get you down. No one has the right to make you feel bad about what you do with your money and time, ever! Your followers love you! ❤

[@juliejackman6103]

I am so sad to hear about the negative comments because you both have brought me SO MUCH JOY watching your channel. I have been inspired and have found some really wonderful charts to stitch thanks to you sharing hauls. I watch a number of floss tubes and can say you are NOT the only ones with more than you will ever stitch, ME included! I don't have any family or friends that stitch so watching you helps me feel like I am one of the cool kids. :) I am so glad you talk about other channels because I now watch them also and I don't think I wouldn't have found them without you. Sorry for commenting but I have been meaning to tell you how much I love your channel and energy has meant to me.

[@annettejohnston8653]

I just want to take this moment to thank both of you. I've returned to Xstitching after a 40 year hiatus. A lot happened in those years, including your wonderful videos. First, where I live, it's 2 hours to a needlework store, so I had to find a way to get "stuff". Thanks to both of you, I learned all that's new and available...whoohoo!...as well as where to obtain such things. You are wonderful contributors to our community. Never let anyone EVER tell you differently! It's theirs Cross to bear, not yours. With love and affection...

[@christydodson7460]

First, thank you both for taking your time to share your stitching. Please keep up the good work and know that we appreciate you both!

[@dayleaskey2690]

Without you two I wouldn't know about Sampler Symposium and now I'm going! Cannot wait! I'm so glad you talked about it and especially that you let us know that there is s newbie time there. Not gonna lie... I'm kind of nervous. I've been stitching for 45 years and there are so many wonderful flosstubers who inspire me and show the new/old stuff. Thanks so much and I'll see you AZ!

[@KBC6409]

Please don’t let mean people get to you. I know it’s hard. We appreciate all you both do. I love your floss tube so much. It makes me so happy. You can’t please everyone. It’s your money you can buy whatever you want. Thank you for sharing everything you do. You are loved by so many people!

[@heatherbartlett5113]

Was heartbroken to hear about the negative comments. I have watched you both since the beginning and your videos got me through some rough times. Brenda and Laura: thank you for sharing your passion for stitching, your friendship, and kindness with us all. You are loved. ❤

[@jackieduggan5966]

Happy belated birthday Laura. I just wanted to take this opportunity to say , I love, love ,love you both. Your kindness and your pure joy for stitching shines through on every video. I genuinely feel like I'm missing a very good friend when you are away for long periods. I wish I could just visit and stitch with you in person for 1 day of my life. The world needs many more people like you and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making our world a much better place.

[@lindabostedt1224]

Happy Birthday Laura and Merry Christmas!!!!! Beautiul stitching, haul and I love your planned pieces. I too have treasures that are many years old. I try to finish at least 1 or 2 oldies each year. Love watching you both. You bring smiles to all. So sorry for the negativity. Those folks are not worth losing sleep over

[@amyhjboys]

Thank you for all of your inspiration! I love to see everything in your haul, stash and WIPs. I don’t stitch many of the same designs but every once in a while I have to quickly “shoom”. I appreciate you being exactly who you are and telling us all about other designers & flosstubes. THANK YOU!

[@sueknifley7841]

After watching your video, I had to comment to thank you for the videos that you do. Through you I discovered the facebook group for Homespun Needlework. I ordered three of the kits presented this past year, finished Sophia Neal 1832 by While Iris Naps and started on Sarah Sanderson. I live in a rural area at least 50 miles from a store that sells floss and even further to find a needlework shop. I stitched years ago mostly on Aida as that was what was available. Coming back to cross stitch after so many years and seeing how many changes there have been is almost mind boggling. Brenda and Laura, you have been educators and enablers, and I am loving every minute. Once again, thank you, thank you for the time the two of you share with us.

[@crazycatladyxstitchr]

I’m so sorry that you received hurtful comments. Those people must feel pretty bad about themselves if they have to make rude comments about someone else to make themselves feel better. Many of us were raised right to know that if you haven’t got anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all. I love watching your channel, seeing your beautiful stitching, listening to your plans and drooling over your haul lol. Don’t let the mean girls take away your joy! Thanks for all you do for the stitching community. Hugs and stitches 🪡❤️

[@judithl3967]

Happy new year Brenda and Laura. Another wonderful flosstube - love your word of the year Brenda - that’s what I’m trying to do - focus on my wips and what I want to stitch. I always look forward to seeing your fabulous flosstubes.

[@lizsmith5601]

I don’t usually comment but in this case I will. Just want you to know I love your floss tube. I love hearing stories about your lives your passion for stitching your friendships your humor your retreats your haul. I love it all. Don’t let anyone burst your bubble. “You Do You” is my favorite saying. So keeping doing what YOU do best!!

[@vanessaclark7680]

Thank you so much for sharing your stitching. Watching your Flosstube is my happy place!

[@lindamarchand1866]

So sorry for all the negative comments ! There is way too much negativity in this world and this shouldn't happen on your flosstube. I so look forward to seeing you wips, finishes and haul! You are an advocate for so many designers, linen dyers, other flosstubers, etc. You both have enabled me, in a good way, to try new designers, etc. Keep up your awesome videos and know that the vast majority of your followers appreciate and look forward to your videos! Love you two and look forward to seeing you at another retreat!

[@richardallen1391]

This episode was full pf eye candy, I think it had something for everyone whether you stitch samplers or small or both! Thanks ladies for being such an inspiration to me. Janine

[@denisewilkinson8719]

[@suelambert5760]

I enjoy watching your FlossTube channel! I love seeing your projects, WIPS, FF, your enthusiasm is contagious and I pick up on your positive energy and excitement of your projects. I am a quilter, cross stitcher and do embroidery, I would challenge anyone that is critical about my spending or the amount of fabric, floss, kits and patterns that I have. That is my business, my money and my passion no one has a right to be critical of my passion or anyone else’s passion (period). Shame on them for their negative comments, don’t like it, do us a favor and move on! There are so many of us that love and enjoy watching this FlossTube! Ok, ladies…stitch on!

Thank you for sharing all of your stitchy love with the stitching community - you are both a treasure!

Thank you ladies for being the beautiful and gracious people that you are. It was such fun to see the things that you hope to work on in 2025. I just finished making a list and hope to be a little more focused this year. I'm enjoying your Christmas stitching, Laura. Brenda, what a fabulous stitching year!! Thanks as always for the joy, inspiration and enabling!! Happy stitching!

[@Raven61362]

Happy belated Birthday Laura, today is my 64th birthday. I wanted to say I’m so very thankful I found your channel. I lost my husband and at a very very low depressed point in my life. The floss tube I found made smile, laugh, want to start stitching my patterns I put aside a long time ago. Both of you gave me a gift I felt I never would get back again. Thank you so much for giving yourself so freely even though you may feel a little uncomfortable. I don’t miss any of your videos now! ❤

[@Cindyscrossstitch]

Happy birthday 🎂. Sorry for your loss. I hope you find joy each day. I am a new years baby. ✨️

[@rhondaduke2288]

Love each and every one of your videos. Pish posh the negative Nellie's and you do you! I strive for your stash and stitching knowledge. Over 22,000 people agree otherwise they would not also be following and awaiting eagerly for the notification bell to pop up. Your love of stitching, terrific friendship with each other and those you met is very evident. Here's to a fantastic 2025 filled with beautiful stitches, kind words and memories ❤

[@janoechler-kirschbaum-eh9ln]

Thank you Brenda and Laura for another awesome floss tube. You are appreciated so much by me and the cross-stitch community!!! You share items those without an LNS can see. Your stitching! 😳😳😳 Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. You build up so many others in the community too. Sending positive, grateful and joyful thoughts to you. ❤ Keep doing what you’re doing. Too many of us would be devastated if you didn’t provide new content.

[@susanlamatrice6938]

Thank you for sharing all your projects, I enjoy seeing all the variety! I watch your channel because you both keep it intentionally positive of designers, dyers, and other stitchers. I mainly stitch on Aida with DMC and I appreciate that you support doing what works for each of us!

[@mistesmeltzer853]

Wonderful flosstube as always..thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight. Being an introvert, you are my friends and enjoy every minute even when you need to address the comments that are not kind..long timer watcher..Happy Stitching 🙋‍♀️

Love Sunday! Includes stitching with Brenda and Laura and football!

[@ChristineBuening]

You both r great! Love your floss tube! You do what make you Happy! I love your stash! I have a lot of stash! I love how you support all the shops! Please don’t feel bad! You r both great! I quit stitching about 20 years ago, recently my daughter went though I bad divorce ( and is dealing with a lot) it has been hard on me she as 3 small children which I am Helping raise! I started back stitch about 11 months ago for an outlet and I have fell in love with it again! Your floss tube as help me though a lot! So thank you for all you

[@arlenehildahl9130]

So look forward to your floss tubes you add so much joy to my stitching world. Please carry on we love you both

[@LinPilkinton]

Wow just wow enough said. I did the Jingle Ball for the first time, I must say I did not take advantage of all it offered. I will next year though. Thank you for being here so enjoy all you have to offer us.

[@farisle6602]

Your streams make me smile. I marvel at all the WIPs and stash and haul. What folks should realize, is that people earn their own cash and have an exclusive right to spend that cash how they like. They also, as adults, get to spend their time as they like. Part of the hobby is amassing projects/haul/stash, another is to use or acquire more, to do the work on the projects. If someone gets exclusives, great - if someone gets special deals, wonderful. For those that are being bitter, tune them out. Misery loves company and they are a walking rain cloud on Life. Keep laughing and loving what you are doing and we will keep watching and laughing and loving along with you. Don't let bitter, nasty, JEALOUS remarks get you down. Let them rain on their own parade :)

[@katiecohagen1561]

I’m not normally a commenter though I watch all of your videos and I want to say that I just love your videos. I stitch everything…samplers, modern, cheeky, witchy, fun. Your videos make me so happy. And I have a fabric stash for quilting that I couldn’t use in 10 lifetimes. But it makes me happy and it inspires me. I don’t like that people feel the need to complain in the comments. It makes me sad that there is something missing in their life to be so angry towards others. I can’t wait to see your stitching this year! My goal is to stitch the Brenda Gervais small books too! They are so cute!

[@annettemartin4318]

Thank you for another great Flosstube! Brenda - I love the quilt that’s on your couch in the background of the video.

[@lianethiessen1865]

You probably can't see me, but I vigorously wave hello and goodbye to you at every video. 😉 LOL You both give me such joy, with your enthusiasm and friendship. Thanks so much for being you, and for showing us all the things!

Happiest of new years to you both, and happy birthday, Laura! Love you, and love all that you do for this community. Brenda - you and I have a lot of the same goals for 2025. Have a wonderful time at Symposium!

Brenda and Laura! You are both inspirational and fun and a delight to watch. I believe I told you this before, you two are the reason I started to stitch again. As physical therapy for my hands after breaking both my arms at the same time. And i am grateful to you. Keep up the great videos. Thank you.

Brenda and Laura, thank you for brightening my day with your kindness and love of the craft. Dare I say, lifestyle. 😉❤️ I thoroughly enjoy seeing all of your goodies and stitching and hearing about your travels. Keep inspiring us! ❤️

Your KZbin videos are my FAVORITE! I still stitch on 14 aida and probably always will, but I love seeing your beautiful samplers. You are both so inspiring. I love you both!❤

[@karistutzman8381]

Love to you both! Stitch what you love! Good luck on sticking to your plans. I am gonna try hard to stitch every day a little bit. I started valentine's tiny town on 46 CT. Ballet slipper by fox and rabbit. A new count of linen for me.

Laura, God Bless You for sharing your Prairie Schooler January story!! Not only am I inspired to purchase and start this now-even more importantly, I wish to thank you for sharing how you started it two years ago, etc…and FORGOT!!! I do things like this regularly these days and it makes me Feel better to know I’m not ALONE! I sure love you and Brenda and all that you bring to us whenever you can. 🥰🥰

Another wonderful video full of inspiration! I am trying to stitch from my stash this year too because I have so many beautiful projects that I love and want to get finished. However, I love to live vicariously through y’all and see what you get from retreats and such. Love y’all and have fun at Sampler Symposium! ❤

Love watching you two. The “just do it “ comment is very inspirational. Your work is over the top and it gets me inspired.

I look forward to every one of your flosstubes ladies. With the time difference between here (Sydney Australia) to you in the US. I usually wake up & start watching your new flosstubes right away (like I’ve done today) and come home & finish with watching the rest. When I’m able to do that it’s like I’m starting my day with joy & have the rest to look forward to seeing while I’m at work & I’m able to come home & finish my day with the joy of watching you both again. You guys make my day. Just sending positive vibes & love. Do not change one bit. Love seeing everything. You are beyond brilliant for our hobby that I love so much. Just keep doing what brings you joy because seeing it & hearing about it brings so many of us joy also. Big hugs xx
