Loved seeing the quilted items from Vintage Blessings. I’ve been making quilts since 1974 and the 1930’s and 1940’s is my favorite era of quilts. I’ve made 2 Dresden Plates and 2 Grandmothers Flower Gardens in addition to many Log Cabin quilts. I have no idea how many quilts I’ve made but I imagine 200-300 over 40 plus years….. I still love it but now I’m so into cross stitching samplers. Bottom line: I love that you appreciate these treasures. Love watching you and Laura….. thank you. Mona in Florida.

Thanks for answering my questions on samplers. I agree that I like the idea of stitching what the original stitcher did but like at Laura’s house, some things just wouldn’t fly here. And I do like keeping the original name, I like the historical connection. I guess I’ll just play it by ear as the verses come up in stitching. And Brenda, yes, Patriots Day is coming up … Boston Marathon. I always chuckle when you both talk about ordering to help get you through the work day. I remember those days well. 😊

Thank you Lisa...that reminds me...there is a Wishing Thorn chart I want....off to shoom!!!!! I think changing the verse if it is too religious or something, but keeping the original stitcher's name is the route I will go.

How now brown cow. I had forgotten this saying until I watched your program. I think my mother used this saying. She grew up in Nebraska. I did the over one stitching on 40 count on Harriet Godhard 1817. I started it before I realized it had over one stitching. It was not as hard as I thought it would be. I did the full cross but I also like the idea of doing the tent stitch. I would probably do the tent stitch the next time I do over one. Thank you for wonderful program. Happy Easter.

I went over to Needle and Flax after hearing how wonderful you think they are. Then I saw they have a fabric named "Thornfield" and one named "Pemberley". Wouldn't it just so happen that I have both a Jane Austen project and a Jane Eyre project that both need fabric. Only 14 days left until tax season ends and I can't wait to have my weekends (and stitching time) back!!

Just discovered your channel and I will be back! I retired last June and I sympathize with you, Brenda. We always geared up for tax season in December due to people putting off taking their mandatory RMDs. Couldn't wait for the two weeks after the tax deadline so that it would be over for another year. My husband and I are former Midwesterners - Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Iowa, but we have lived in PA for the last 26 years. Your references bring back many great memories.

Thank you for letting us know about that thumbnail. Just love that antique sampler too...have you ever thought about having it reproduced? It really is a stunning piece. Now, I have a confession, I've never railroaded my threads, nor have I hever split the dmc threads so that the two strands are separate. I would think that it would make it more difficult for them to lie flat? I don't know, it's just I've always done it that way. And thank you for the time and loveliness! Hugs and Love, Jen

I'm so glad you mentioned Sarah and her Stitchy Spot -- and don't forget her DH Stan, who did the music! She is a fave of mine, for sure. Thanks to your last post, I now subscribe to Stitching Bunny. She and Carol Salt Box and I are all around the same age, and I really love that! As for Birgit -- I'm working on "Bernarad Bellon" -- a Spanish repro sampler she did, in memory of my late cousin, a Canadian, who married a Spaniard and moved to Seville almost 60 years ago. Our family visited in 1992 -- and I have fond memories. The sampler will be given to her younger sister, who lives on the West Island of Montreal. As Sarah (Stitchy Spot) recently opined...this stitching community is all about connection. I am a quilter and a knitter too and in ALL THREE textile communities, I find the same richness of friendship, fun and connection. There's a line in Psalm 90 that reads, "May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us- yes, establish the work of our hands" -- and this is what happens with all of us who work with our hands.

Another super fun flosstube ladies! I was in my sewing room making a ton of baby stuff (bibs, burp cloths, diaper changing mats, receiving blankets, etc.) for my new great nephew while listening to you two! Thanks for keeping me company! And yes learning new stitches is such fun! I love making wall hangings with tons of specialty stitches. In fact if you want to blow your mind, look up Sue Spargo! She is an amazing quilter and an expert in embroidery. Her stuff is so beautiful! See you next time!!😘😘

How now brown cow is an elocution exercise from way back. Thank you for bringing it to mind. Made me think of my Grama…whenever one of the grandchildren would mumble (a strong family trait) she’d say “how now brown?” 😂

I have just begun watching your video and your comments on changing things (or not) on a reproduction sampler. I have spent a lot of time thinking about this during the last year since I returned to cross stitch. I spent my career as an appliqué teacher and designer. In 1990 I wrote a book on Red and Green applique quilts. In my research I learned that it was a matter of pride when a young woman designed and stitched her own “bride’s quilt”. She may have gotten ideas for the format/layout of her quilt from seeing other people’s quilts, but it was a matter of pride that her red and green quilt be her own work/design from beginning to end--a one-of-a-kind piece that was hers alone. I think that samplers are similar. We often see antique samplers that have the same motifs, etc. and we know they are related. But NEVER are there two exactly alike. I keep coming back to the question, what would this maker think of us reproducing (down to every obvious error) her work? Would she like/want us to change it and “make it our own”? Or, would she want us to replicate her work exactly as she made it? Food for thought.😊

"How Now Brown Cow" is something we said when I was growing up in northern Minnesota. There are so many unique 'sayings' from the Midwest. I love them and will often still use them (and feel out of place) on the east coast. But they are so fun! Once again I filled two pages of list from your fosstube. Have I mentioned how much I enjoy them? ;>). I discovered Sara's Cross stitch Place and Birgit as well. They are so wonderful. I always check out those you mention and I am always pleased. Thank you so much for another enjoyable day of Floss tube!!!

My late grandfather always said "How now brown cow" I hadn't heard it in years. Immediately filled my heart with joy at the memory. Thank you ladies. Such a pleasure to have you visit this evening. So much inspiration. I am waiting for the cuckoo chart to come back into stock at The Patchwork Rabbit as I simply have to stitch it in honour of the hours of entertainment you both have given me. Have a blessed Easter. Best wishes from 🇮🇪
