I have brought three charts , fabric and floss . Keep your fingers crossed that everything goes well . Thank You for sharing your wonderful flosstube with all of us .

[@Caitja]

I’m getting the biggest smile with the Blue Corn and Dust Bunny words. Brings a ton of joy to me this sunny (thankfully) Sunday morning (4.2.23). Thank you Laura! You’ll make a sampler stitcher out of me yet. Going to have to start writing down in a ledger all these I want todo! Tweedly Deedly Dee us another one!

[@lwmillsap]

Thank you for sharing your joy and friendship. For those of us scattered in pockets of rural America without LNS or many local stitchy friends, FlossTube fools us into believing that we are right there on the other side of your table giggling along. 💗

[@rozwise6657]

Thank you again for another visit with the 2 of you....I always enjoy being with you...Roz you are both inspiring!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Oh you are with us in spirit Lori! That is for darn sure!!!!!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

@@rozwise6657 Thank you Roz!!!

[@prairiestitcher515]

Lori! That is EXACTLY my situation (rural America and no LNS and my dear sweet friends do not stitch!!❤) and exactly why these flosstubes are so dear to me! You said it perfectly!

[@Caitja]

I’m giggling also!

[@cathleensullivan7621]

Thanks for sharing all your lovely stitching and ideas. Have a good week. 😊🪡

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you Cathleen!

[@yvonnejames5469]

I really enjoy your videos. I am a quilter, but since I have been watching your flosstube I am itching to do cross stitch again. It's been years and back then I used aida fabric and DMC thread. My how things have changed! The charts, designers, thread and linen are beautiful. Thank you for shareing different shops where I can oder supplies. I can't wait to jump in. You always leave me with a smile on my face at the end of your video.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

So excited that you want to stitch again Yvonne!!!!! Please keep us posted on how it goes!!!!!

[@artluvnanita]

Is there such a thing as overdosing on dopamine? That’s what I get watching you two wonderful ladies! Thank you so much for all you share with us and for keeping us inspired!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

That is such a wonderful thing to say!!! Thank you so much Anita!

[@kareninohio1346]

Enjoy your videos. So many great projects and charts. Stitching smalls always gives me a new serge to return to the samplers. Keep them coming!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you Karen!!!

[@shellymeldrum2312]

It's been fun catching up with you ladies. The guilds are amazing. I'm in the Chemung Valley Embroiders Guild in NY.

A perfect floss tube to stitch my A Perfect World by...thank you :)

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you Anna!!! Hey, I meant to tell you I watched your recent FT and really really enjoyed the story of how you became a nurse. Hugs!

[@kathygutzman9742]

You two crack me up! I keep laughing out loud and my husband is glancing over to see what's so funny. Thanks for making such inspiring and entertaining videos!❤

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Awwww! Thank you for watching Kathy!!!

[@juliebuckner5498]

I’m not a big Draper! 😂😂😂 Love your videos, both of you always make me laugh.

[@Stella-we2eg]

As every sunday every two weeks you make my heart smile. Last thursday i ended up at ER...because i suffered several hits on my face. Dont worry girls ...im a little better now. Love your stitching always. Laura amazing little ones. Brenda adorable stitching. You girls are the best !!!❤❤❤

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you for watching Sherry!

[@wooleygirl5240]

What a fun video, Laura and Brenda! Laura, I loved your finishes-so cute. Brenda, you looked more relaxed from your horrible two weeks at work, while laughing and having fun with Laura. I had to keep pausing the video so I could write down things to order. Love you girls. See you next time. Pam Miller

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you so much Pam!!!

[@ozarkmtnstitcher]

I'm glad to see Laura stepped up to cover for Brenda's bad week and lack of stitching. I can't believe all your finishes! Thank you for sharing. Lots of laughter in this one. I've ordered linen multiple times from No 12 Stitch Co and it arrives really quickly. Surprisingly so. I love her linen because it's wonderful to stitch on. But now you've let the cat out of the bag and I won't be able to get it for awhile.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you Felicia! That is the danger of talking about a good thing....but we all need to know about these great products. Stitching on No. 12 linen is amazing! Her stuff is top notch!

[@Alchemyxstitch]

Every time I watch one of your videos I get relaxing entertainment, a little less money in my wallet, and my mind blown. The last video was the linen starting tip with the vertical thread. I had no idea that was a thing, and on the projects I accidentally did that the stitches do lay better. This video it was that you railroad both legs of the stitch, and boom my stitches laid better. Thank you both for the laughs, the tips and tricks, and the great entertainment to stitch to.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you so so much for watching!!!! We appreciate it very much! Happy Stitching!

[@connieverbeck1110]

Meant to say to Laura. Thank you for promoting my state! My Ranier is a magnificent area here. Leaves you breathless.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Oh Connie!!! I love Washington state so much! I really feel at home when I am there. Enjoy every minute for me!

[@lisalovesstitchin]

I love Nicola's fabric, I use a lot of it for my designs, it's so beautiful.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

[@paulinedean4419]

Just found your FlossTube really enjoyed. Loved your finishes and all your patterns and kits that you have. I also like all your recommendations that you gave. I have 2 pages to go and look at. Great video can’t wait to see your next one. Have a great week.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you so much Pauline!!!! So happy you found us and liked what you saw!

[@jylromain6439]

Congratulations Laura on the finished patterns. Everything you ladies do is so beautiful. I'm not a big fan of antique samplers but the ones you show are very tempting. Maybe when I get over my PTSD from the Dr. Who stitch....all letters. Ugh! Hope work eases up on you Brenda. See you next time.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks Jyl!!!!!! You just stitch what calls to you!!!!! Hope your Dr. Who is finished up soon!

[@paulashattuck5983]

Such enablers. I have 4 pages of notes. But I love watching you and how excited you get about each other’s things. The 20/7 and the immortal are on my want list. See you April 2. Hugs

Always great to stitch and visit. 🌻🌻🌻

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you Janet!!!

[@marthaabstein6046]

Loved all of the things that you have and planning on stitching. I was so excited when you said that the Inspired Needle may be opening a retail store in Palm Coast, Florida. I live in St. Augustine, Florida and at the present time my nearest Needlework shop is in Ocala, which is 2 1/2 hours from me. If they open a shop in Palm Coast, that would be 30 minutes from my house. How exciting is that. I hope that it is a dream to come true.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

I think your dreams are about to become true Martha!!!! Go watch Inspired Needle floss tube...Cathy did a walk through of her future space in Palm Coast! You are about to be spoiled (like we used to be!). Yay!!!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Go Laura Go. Your needles have been flying. After seeing the Cuckoo finish, I had to order it ASAP. I love all your finishes. And Brenda, love all the smalls you pulled to stitch. I’be been stitching a lot of Stacy Nash lately.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Yay!! Glad you ordered it Marie!!!!! Those Stacy Nash charts are something else!

Thank you Pamela!!!! Stitching really does soothe the soul!

[@cathynanz9637]

Thank you for explaining the term railroading!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you for watching!

[@scienceknitster]

Another inspiring episode. I’ve loved samplers since I first starting cross stitching in the mid-1980’s. Now is a great time for samplers…so many wonderful reproductions out there. Congrats to Laura on her finishes. I’ve been on a small HATS sampler stitching spree even though I had planned to join in several SALs…Brenda is right! Stitch what you love and don’t feel guilty! Thank you so much for sharing your love of samplers and stitching. Thanks also for mentioning the Tudor Rose Sampler Guild…I joined in the heart of the pandemic because they had Zoom meetings. We’re still meeting via Zoom and have a lot of events that are online as well as some in person, so even if, like me, you don’t live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas, you can still participate. I also belong to an EGA chapter. It’s always great to connect and share with other stitchers!

[@wandamccoll3739]

What beautiful finishes you had Laura!!! Brenda, your finished pieces from Joy are gorgeous!!! Thanks so much for another wonderful visit!!! You too bring so much joy!!!! Thanks as always and happy stitching!

Thank you Terri!!!!!!!! Your finishing is so gorgeous!!!

[@laftane]

Before I say anything else, I want to say that I love your FlossTube and have watched every single episode. You are always a delight. I do want to make one comment about all of the haul. I know there have been comments about previous episodes and haul and "if it makes you happy...," but in thinking about ordering from Australia, I feel compelled to add that we have to admit there is an environmental cost to the production and consumption. The dyeing process, the printing process, the shipping, and the copious amount of plastic used to pack charts and floss all take their toll on the environment. I unwrapped a kit from FQS and realized seven plastic bags were used to enclose the items. That was for 1 kit!!! I know I still order more than I need, but I am trying to cut down and be conscientious about making good choices.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

I hear you.

[@sandyevenson-hagen370]

Oh my, ladies! What a fun floss tube! I enjoyed every.single.minute. Wonderful projects!

What a fun video! Laura, fantastic finishes!! I love the Cuckoo chart colors you used! What count linen did you use from Fox & Rabbit? And Brenda’s Scattered Seed bird smalls are just darling! I love that you both share your on-line sources for so many things so that we will all know about them and where to look for things we love! I am looking forward to stitching the small Scattered Seeds bunny charts and I also joined the pinkeep club so can’t wait to stitch that sweet bird! Oh, and I also joined the berry club from DTS! You are both such an inspiration and enable me each time I watch you! Brenda, hopefully your job will settle down and you won’t be under so much stress!

Thank you Carol!!!! Glad you got in on all that fun stuff!!! I stitched the Cuckoo bird on 40 count linen from Fox and Rabbit. Love their linen!
