Brenda and the Serial Starter - Episode #82 (9/25/22)

[@justinerogers1353]

I have another point for the flow chart: 'ask Brenda's advice and ask 3 times if she's sure'. 'Cool'.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Oh that is SPOT ON!!!!! Love it!!!!!!!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

I am pinning this comment because it is perfect!!!

[@chrislittebrant5235]

Oh My, I am the 510th person to comment 🤭😬 I enjoy seeing your works of Art, so beautiful. Have fun. 👏🥰 Chris

[@karendean946]

Every time you say “Go blue!” I think of my school because that is our motto!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

You have a cool school Karen!

[@lydiajoy1823]

Nice video! I really enjoyed seeing all of your beautiful projects. I am recovering from a fracture in my wrist and I can’t quite do any stitching yet. I can do a little crochet so that will tide me over on the crafting for a bit longer… Of course I can also shop. Happy stitching!

[@lindamelz242]

What great goodies and FT!!!

[@judybartholow4581]

I would enjoy having you two as neighbors. You seem to enjoy every minute you spend together and how fun to have someone to talk about stitching.

[@gailamason9802]

Another fun one to watch while stitching. You always brighten my day/night.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you so much!!!!!

[@conniebechtold2889]

I really go through a lot to watch your floss tube every time because Jackee(aka Jack Russell terrier) decides to lay on the keyboard of the iPad, which shuts off the KZbin, then the kitty(I think her name is Callie) decides to butt her head against my arm table and knock off everything and if that’s not enough, she walks across the keyboard and that shuts me down again! I purposely wait awhile before I watch so I am not crazily influenced to buy it all! Lol. Waiting is good because if I weaken, and want to buy it all, it’s all sold out! What a great influence you both are and love love love all the stitching that you share! Have fun in Pennsylvania!

[@wandamccoll3739]

Oh goodness, it is so great to see both of you!!!! I love your armchair caddy Brenda!!!! Ann Oliver is gorgeous!! Laura, Margaret Beattie is simply gorgeous!!! That flow chart is beyond priceless!!!!! I think Sampler September is my most favourite month of the year as I love to see what everyone is working on or thinking about working on! Love seeing your finished samplers Brenda - such amazing eye candy!! Thanks as always and have an amazing time at Hobby House!!!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you Wanda!!!! Agree about Sampler September. It is always a highlight!!!

[@lindajohnson9155]

So good to see y'all in my home again! I missed you. And of course made a list of stitching to look for. And for the non Amazon shoppers, I found (and purchased) the sticker book at Target for $12.75 plus tax. Online Target it's $24, but in store $18.19 with additional 30% off. It's a good one.

Enjoy you both. Have to do a Go Blue shout out as we won't see you again until after the game against Penn State. We are on Drummond Island in Michigan and really are into our Maize and Blue football. The team visited the island this summer. My husband got to meet several players and was asked by Coach Harbaugh to take a picture of his daughter steering the ferry. Hog heaven for my hubby.

Brenda - Thank you so much for showing your lovely samplers! Your stitches look perfect, just so well done, and the frames you choose are beautiful! I always enjoy seeing everything you stitch or that you’re in the process of stitching. It’s a treat every other Sunday and is VERY INSPIRING!! Laura - Loved the flow chart and your dramatic reading was spot on! I got to thinking that since your mom has started cross stitch, it would be fun to see some of her work. I bet she’s a natural after seeing her lovely embroidery work that you shared.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you so much for all of your kind words Debra!!! I will definitely show some of my Mom's stitching when I am able. She is having so much fun with it!

I like that you ladies are always yourselves - there’s never anything phony, which is refreshing! From what you’ve shared about your Mom, she sounds delightful and her embroidery is so pretty! I’m a knitter, too, and that green sweater she knit for you is stunning…a perfect color for you! Enjoy your time at Hobby House!!! I can’t wait to see all the goodies you and Brenda acquire!

[@maryannjohnson5410]

Welcome back! Love the projects, finishes and especially the reading of the flow chart! I got to visit Lynn's of Madison when I went to visit my son Labor Day Weekend. First cross stitch store I've been to since returning to stitching. My son patiently waited for me and told me to take my time. The staff there was great. I ordered a chart that was out of stock that they had a model of. When it came in last week I added to the order and paid for it over the phone. My son picked it up and came to visit last weekend to bring it to me. He actually lives pretty close to Lynn's. Have fun at Hobby House.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

I love that story Mary Ann!!!! That is so wonderful!!!! More visits to your son's house are in order I am sure!

[@maryannjohnson5410]

@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 Of course. My middle son is very thoughtful. There is a concert next month in Minneapolis and he asked if I wanted to go with him. He also asked what's the name of the cross stitch store near there you want to go to. Now the trip is turning into a long family weekend up there. Stitchville USA, hockey game and concert, plus whatever else we find to do.

So good to have you back! So much stitchy goodness! As always, you continue to inspire and encourage us! My sister and are are currently working on our September sampler, Janet Barr Slater by the Scarlet House and our Sunday stitch, Dasher and Dancer by Hobby House, both on Seraphim 40 count Antique Lace. I never thought I’d be able to stitch on linen because of my eyesight, but thanks to good magnification and lighting, I’m loving it! A year ago I assumed I’d always be stitching on Aida. Linen is by far my favorite fabric! And 40 count! So beautiful! Thank you both so much for sharing your love of cross stitch! Enjoy your time at Hobby House!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

That is so exciting to hear Anita!!!! So happy that you are really enjoying stitching on 40 count! And both of those projects are amazing! Thank you for watching us!

Hi Laura. I don’t live in Wrexham now but I did live there from 1987-1995 and my sons were (and still are) big fans of Wrexham Football Club. In fact they both have season tickets and get to as many games as they can. My 2 grandsons now have season tickets too and are obsessed! You can’t imagine the excitement there has been since Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney became involved! I haven’t watched the documentary yet but my grandson says I have too because they are in it! They’ll be amazed when I tell them that some stitcher friends in the USA are watching! I was so glad to see that you are and Brenda were back with a new video. You were missed!

Oohwee! What a fun video! Holy moly! So much eye candy! I was busy taking notes, I assure you! Love, love, love both Ann Oliver and Margaret Beatty! I have loved Ann Oliver since she came out and she’s on my wishlist for sure, but Margaret Beatty is going on my Christmas list this year (along with the silk pack from HDF silks), and I’m going to start her ASAP after Christmas! Ladies, your stitching is gorgeous! Loved all the haul, that armchair cushion - genius- and Laura, that flowchart about you was hilarious! You two always make my day. I live 4 hours from Hobby House and have never been there- shameful, I know. That needs to be rectified- Stat! Hopefully in November. Have a wonderful couple of weeks, enjoy your class with Nicola, and Happy Stitching!

Awwww. . .you’re back!!! I’ve missed you guys!!!! I tried going to Pumpkin Hollow US, but could not find that armchair caddy. Found two others, but liked the little tray on your’s best. Hope everything is okay with both of you. I heard Brenda say she had to stay home and am a bit worried. 😢 Love you guys!!

THANK YOU for letting us know that you have used 2 strands of Soie 100.3 on 32 ct. I have learned so many great tips from y’all (and I have been stitching 40+ years!). We, also, live in an old house with plaster walls - is there a certain type of nail you use? I seem to always end up bending more nails than not! So aggravating!! You are so blessed to have each other to share your love of stitching with. I look forward to your videos to see what you will be enabling me with again!
