Brenda and the Serial Starter #7

[@Lllr55]

I could watch the two of you 24/7!! Love everything that you both stitched and bought!! Brenda, your sewing room is amazingly beautiful!! I'm so jealous!! I have stitched many of the Prairie Schooler Santas over the years on 7 ct Klostern with #5 pearl cotton from DMC. The past 4 years I've stitched them on 40 0r 46 ct linen for my grandson. He loves them. I can't wait until Alma and Barb release the designs from the Attic retreat! They are just beautiful !! Looking 😊♥️

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks Laura!!!! That is so wonderful that your grandson loves the PS Santas!!!!

[@eastergal]

No way is 30 minutes enough! An hour flies by fast enough when you're sharing all of your beautiful projects and patterns, don't make shorter videos! 💗 I'm always getting inspiration from the two of you and I love it. Thank you so much for sharing! Happy stitching!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks so much Frankie!! Okay, long videos it is!

[@Nancyw823]

You are right, more than 30 minutes is a gift to us. Love watching you two. You compliment each other so well.

[@lindameeks5228]

30 minutes is not long enough for your videos ladies. You have way to much stitching to show and to make us all pleasantly envious. It's so a wonderful time spent. Thank you both so much

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks so much Linda!!! I don't think we will ever run out of stuff to show....but if we do, we will just have to start over at the beginning again!

[@aykuistam]

ladies enjoyed every pattern and finishing! 30 min not nearly enough! Thank you for sharing all those beautiful cross stitchings!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks so much!!! We appreciate your taking time to comment!! Happy Stitching!

[@debbierice2618]

I’m rewatching your videos for storage ideas and the last video I watched had some of your mother’s stitching and oh my goodness what a treasure you have. It reminds me of all my mom’s stitching, crocheting, I have it all and I’m going to get it out so I can see it. Thank you for the inspiring me and allowing my precious memories to re- boot.❤️

[@prairiestitcher515]

Ok commenting on this OLD video .. 😂 it’s a snowy day and I am so happy stitching away re- watching your past videos . I HAVE to chime in on the length of videos !! Laura!! You are 100% right! Tell Mike that I love the longggg videos. I’m always a little sad if they are too short :-) we like stitching away while you gals chat and show us all kinds of stitchy wonders!! Keep it up!!!!

[@kathycorley9236]

Brenda, the tour of your room...just magical! Such beautifully displayed treasures. Thank you

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks Kathy!!! Yes, Brenda's room is amazing! I call it Disneyland for stitchers!

[@sandyk1352]

You two crack me up! It's like listening to my own inner dialogue between the 'one' who loves the patterns and having them (ziploc bags and all) and the 'one' who is the quiet organizer and encourages. Keep up the good work, both of you!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks so much Sandy for that wonderful compliment and analysis!!! Spot on!

[@allspiceabounds8578]

I think I just got whiplash from all of Laura's starts!! I just discovered your videos recently and have been watching them all sequentially. Your love of stitching really shines through in every video - I love it. I also want you to know that you are seriously enabling me - I am contemplating purchasing an enormous sampler that I know I will never finish in a million years. But I want it anyway! God help me. Thanks ladies. :)

[@RC_0669]

I've been making my way through your video catalog. Totally enjoyable. My efforts paid off when I saw that Merry Little Christmas ornament. I saw that on Nicole's video a couple of months ago and loved it. Thanks to Laura for mentioning the Etsy shop. Project procured! 💕

[@debrabutler1953]

I had a wonderful morning stitching with you ladies and watching your Christmas parade. Thanks so much and happy stitching.

Thanks Debra!!!

Thank you for your very kind comments Cheryl!!!

[@carolceleste7833]

Please keep your videos to an hour. Like you, I listen along while I'm stitching. It's as if we're all sitting at an LNS together! Brenda, you are a stitching machine!! The number of finishes you have is amazing. And Laura, you are too funny with all your starts! Love watching you two! Till next time.....stay warm and stitch away. 😊

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks Carol!!!!! An hour it is!!! We aim to please!!! I wish we were all sitting at an LNS together right now!

[@earthgirl461]

Oh my gosh you ladies are amazing. So many completed projects and so many projects to complete. You inspired and cheered me up. You have no idea how much you inspire us. Love you both.😊

You two are absolutely fabulously talented!! That’s a mouthful but true!!! Your pattern choices are perfect!!! So fun to sit and watch and try to stitch. I stop, I don’t want to miss anything! See you next time!!!!!

Thank you so much Sara!!! Your words are so very kind and uplifting!!!

Love this video, 30 minutes is not enough! Love the parade, but I had to pause to buy two new patterns, Ladies thank you.

Thanks Mary!!! Glad you found some inspiration!

[@ellenchester132]

Thank you for taking the time to share your work. So many beautiful finishes and so many great WIPs. You two are so amazing and inspiring! I don't think you all could ever make a video that is too long. I always want to see more! I feel like I'm stitching with old friends as I watch you all as I stitch, although at times it's hard to stitch as you all are showing so many wonderful goodies. Only wish that I was in that incredible room with the two of you!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

We wish you were there too Ellen!!!! Someday!!!!! Thank you for your very kind words! They mean the world to us!!!

[@yvonnevigil7489]

I Love you guys so much and enjoy your videos over and over. Brenda your craft room tour was super. I like seeing all your charts but your fabric is so important to me, trying to purchase bigger pieces than project to project. Thanks you two.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks so much Yvonne!!!! I used to buy fabric for each specific project, but then Brenda showed me the ways of purchasing fat quarters of linen when you find ones you like. Now I have a bit of a stash and I love it!!!

[@debanderson1075]

I love seeing all your haul, Finshes and WIPS. You are both so inspiring. I never know where to start ......... Thank you for another great Floss Tube.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks so much Deb!!! Much appreciated!

[@darlydulion4256]

🙀Started with your #1 Flosstube. Just finished #7. 😳 I may have had to stop a few times to place an order. Oh my! Love all that you share, all your makes, and your friendship!

[@DevonsCreativeChannel]

You ladies are so sweet. I am stitching on this years prairie schooler Santa and prairie schooler December. I’m taking your idea of showing Christmas stitching and doing it on Friday’s flosstube. Have a blessed week ladies 😊

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

We will be watching your Friday floss tube!!! Love PS December! It is really beautiful!!! Thanks for your comment!

[@onestitchatatime4658]

I'm not going to lie. When you held up the BBD Peppermint & Holly booklet, I almost fell out my chair!!! LOL. I was unfortunate enough to not have a LNS when I was younger and I wasn't one to "stray" far from home either, lol. Almost 6 years ago, we moved to south Louisiana and that was also when I stopped working. I got more involved in social media and that's when I started learning about all these designers that I never knew existed. And then I learn there is a LNS about 30-45 minutes away from me and OMGoodess I was in heaven. Finally had something other than aida to stitch on and don't even get me started on the hand dyed threads!!! LOL I enjoy ya's videos so much. Love seeing all the pretty silks and all the beautiful fabrics! Makes me wish I had never quit working, lol. Ya take care, Ruth.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks so much Ruth!!!! The good news is that everything looks just as beautiful stitched in DMC!!! I use DMC way more than I use silks. But every now and then it is fun to use them. So glad you have an LNS close by now!! Isn't it the best!!! Happy Stitching!!

[@farmboyslove980]

Great visit ladies. I enjoyed seeing some of your Christmas stitching. I look forward to seeing more. Brenda, that is so sweet of you to share in stitching & praying with Carol for her daughter. I hadn't heard about her illness. I hope you both have a fantastic week & stitch on!!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks so much!

[@suziespivey9753]

No no no on 30 minutes. I love you guys. I lost it when Brenda said “oh hell no”. Just cracked me up. Keep going girls.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks Suzie!!!!! I forgot when Brenda said that.....I will have to look again. She is hilarious.

[@heartfulhandworks24]

The longer the video the better, I can watch you gals all day. Wonderful haul and stash. I'm not a big Christmas Stitcher but you guys are giving me the motivation I lack.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks Laraine!! Start with an ornament for your tree!!! You will be so happy when you pull it out each year!!! Let us know how it goes!!!

[@keepsakestitches7591]

You two are amazing and I so enjoy your videos. You can record as long as you like as I am stitching away and listening and looking up when necessary. Such beautiful work from both of you and so many wonderful plans. I must tell you that the Needlework Press book of days is the best thing ever. I bought one last year and have kept a record daily and you will be amazed at what progression you make in a year's time. I have not added it up yet, but will at the end of December which will give me an idea as to what I can accomplish in a year's time. I wish I could work from my stash instead of being tempted when I see your show and tell along with all the other floss tubers out there. Just love it all. Oh, Brenda, it was fun to see your stitching room posted yesterday even though I didn't comment. Isn't it nice to have a happy place. I have one room as well with a walk-in thread closet. LOL. Cheers from Norma in Boise, ID

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks so much Norma!!!!! What kind words. We really appreciate it. I hope that I can keep up with the Needlework Press book of days. It is so beautiful and would be so helpful! Stitching from stash is like a finely honed skill. I have not achieved it yet; but I certainly could if I tried! Someday!!! Your walk-in thread closet sounds amazing!!

[@kimreed6733]

You guys are the bomb!! Love watching you - oh, 30 minutes is NOT enough! 💗🎄

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks Kim!!! I will tell my husband!

You girls never disappoint! The extravaganza of beautiful finishes and patterns that you showed was marvelous. Thanks for taking the time with your channel. Glad you had fun at The Attic. I like the length of your channel. Happy stitching!

Thanks so much Doreen!!!!! We sure appreciate you taking time to comment!!

[@marymartzolf3585]

Another fantastic video. Normally, I stitch while I watch Flosstube, but I can’t with yours. I sit with paper and pencil to write down chart names and fabrics and flosses used. Then I stop numerous times to place orders. A few days later I rewatch to just luxuriate in your stitching. Thank you for a very fun Christmas parade. More, please of whatever kind of parade you choose to share! And don’t you dare limit yourselves to 30 minutes!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you so much Mary for that wonderful compliment!!!!! We so appreciate your kind words and enthusiasm!! I would love to sit there with you and see what you order!!! Fun times!!!! Happy Stitching!

[@kathyslowstitchh2282]

You two ladies are great company as I put my finishing touches on my homemade Christmas cards, but after seeing all your wonderful stitching here and in video #8, I wish I was stitching too! :) I love watching you both, and have yet to see a piece that isn't something I absolutely adore. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos, they are much appreciated.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you for your very kind words Kathy!!!!! Now that Christmas is over and your card are done....you can stitch to your heart's content! Enjoy!

[@westwind23]

Thrilled to have a video by my two favorites this morning! Make your videos as long as you want them to be, they can’t be too long. Wishing I had stitchers like you both nearby, I’d get more stitching done I think, depending on whether I’m a Brenda or Laura kind of stitcher, I can be both. 😉 That Davos was one of the first fabrics I stitched on.....years ago! Enjoyed the Christmas feature today.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks so much!!! Glad you are a stitcher a bit like both of us!!!! Happy Stitching!!!

[@gingershull2364]

Fantastic video! I can’t tell you how much I enjoy watching you two! I mute the tv and send hubby to the basement so I have no interruptions! Ha ha! Brenda, your stitching room leaves me speechless, thank you so much for sharing. I loved all your finishes! Laura, all your starts are beyond anything I can imagine - I stitch one project at a time other than an ornament, maybe. To see all your starts is so fun and inspiring. My house is full of my stitching so maybe you have the right idea....enjoy the stitching and don’t worry about the finish. Then I wouldn’t have to worry about where to put it but I’d have all the enjoyment of stitching still! Thank you both for all the inspiration!!!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks Ginger!! You know we adore your stitching and you should not change a thing! Just keep on doing it the way you do it, but you do it right!!! That is hilarious about sending your husband to the basement.....I try to watch all my floss tubes when my husband is out of the house so I can concentrate on every word! Hugs!!!

[@carolynmitchell]

Another enjoyable episode! Loved all your FFOs. So many completed objects that just need finishing! I enjoyed your pieces and the conversation.

[@jennywright3223]

Thank you so much! It’s always a joy to spend time with you both. In my book an hour (or more) is perfect. Enough time for a couple of cups of coffee and some stitching....in between writing down the names of patterns to order. I now have a notebook dedicated to your videos!😂 I’m currently stitching some WTNT Santas as well as frantically finishing up gifts to be mailed. It’s a dirty job, but somebody has to do it. xoxjenny

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

So happy to have a full hour (very nearly), of nothing but stitching chatter! Loved seeing all your projects from the Attic and all your holiday stitching, WIPs, finishes and future starts. I am currently working on Cranberry Christmas using the Sulky thread pack. I’m getting used to it but it feels a bit like stitching with twine. So, not sure I love it but the coverage is nice. Looking forward to your next show and share!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

To be honest, I will be honoured to stitch LW Motif and think of Carol's daughter while I stitch. You both must realise that we need your videos to be at least an hour! I actually went back and watched them all again yesterday. Your stitching room is beautiful Brenda and I want to live in it! Thank you for a happy hour 😍

Another fabulous video! I loved seeing your new stash, and your pieces from your Blackbird Designs class at The Attic. It was also so much fun to see (and get inspired!) by your various Christmas pieces. Another thing to mention is that It is so helpful to see the different fabric colors too, because I don't have a LNS, and the pics on the websites are so tiny. You guys show the big pieces of such nice colors of linen. Thanks for sharing, you guys are so fun!!

Woo-hooo! Look at that, I’m caught up! Congratulations, ladies! Excellent job on all of your videos! I have enjoyed them all, walking with you through your patterns, enjoying your vibe and your camaraderie! You are doing an amazing job and I hope you continue for a long time! And Laura, I have to say, I feel better, seeing all of your serial starts! ❤️❤️❤️

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks Jan!!!!!!! I am glad to provide comfort to you with regards to an insane number of starts!! (and that is only a fraction of what has been started over the years!!!). We sure appreciate your kind comments!!!!! Sending love!!!

[@marciadeaguiar348]

Laura and Brenda, you are a fabulous team! A great addition to Flosstube. You both explain the pieces you are working on perfectly from pattern designer, fabric and threads! When is the next big get together at The Attic? June for Bristol samplers? Keep up the great inspiration for all of us out here in Flosstube Land!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks so much Marcia!!!! There is a sampler symposium in January at the attic, but I think it is sold out. Do you get the newsletter from the attic???? Go to their website and sign up. Also you can look at past ones and find out wonderful information. There is a ton of eye candy in the newsletters!!! We wish we were going to the Bristol sampler thing next June, but cannot fit it in. I would LOVE to do that one!!! Thank you for your very kind comments!!!!

I could watch you two every day! I am still stitching on May maynia projects. A few are Christmas patterns.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

So enjoyed your video you are too cute. You kept me company while I was stitching Christmas Garden so that was nice. I’m going to stop now and go to dinner for our 42nd wedding anniversary. Although I’d really like to keep stitching!!! Take care and stitch away.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Happy Anniversary MaryJo!!!!! Hope you had a wonderful dinner! I know what you mean though....I would rather stitch than pretty much anything...........

[@MyfriendDonna]

[@angelvannote1900]

Thank you ladies foe another wonderful video, so much Christmas inspiration! I love how there are "rules" and then there are "laws", sounds about right, you just have to know which ones you can bend.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

That is right Angel!!!! You have to know which ones you can bend!! LOL!!! Hilarious!!! Thanks for leaving such a lovely and fun comment!

[@mommac6892]

You all are too cute and so much fun! Keep it at an hour anything less would be not enough. You inspire me and make me laugh. Happy Holidays!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you so much Evette!!!!

[@katieseaman5555]

So wonderful to see you both back again! And thanks for sharing all your beautiful haul, stitching and FFO's. Love the parades. LOL...Brenda, I have that Ewe and Eye snowman, still waiting to be stitched. NO to only 30 mins for your videos....watching the 2 of you is like sitting with friends....visits are never long enough.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks for your very kind words Katie!!!! Wish we could all stitch together in real life!

[@sharonmorrison4517]

Wonderful inspiration. I think I can totally identify with the serial stitcher name 😂. I have 3 Prairie Schoolers laying on my sewing table to finish and working on 3 more along with a couple of samplers, one that Heidi Cran is doing as well. Love to watch you two. Perfect pair.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Yes! Sharon!!! We are serial starters together!!! And we are in good company with the Prairie Schoolers and working on the same things that Heidi is working on! Happy Stitching!

[@louisepetit8999]

I agree. 30 minutes is not enough. Keep them coming and yes longer then 30 minutes. Love watching you two. Bye ladies for now

[@crosshatchquilts]

Oh girls! Each episode is my new favorite! Love your cute Christmas blouse Brenda! Love all the wips, finishes and friendship chatter! You ladies are so fun! Happy stitching!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks so much for your very kind comments!!!! Happy Stitching right back to you!

[@laurelmannen4100]

Oh how I enjoy your video’s! I can hardly wait to sit down and watch when I get a message that a new one is up. 😊. The chemistry between the 2 of you is priceless and often tickles my funny bone. Sixty minutes seems like 30, so please continue on with 60.❤️ I hope to one day meet you, Brenda and Laura, as you have inspired me to pick up my needles and stitch after much too long of a break. Your choices are right up my alley too. 🤓 Thank you for sharing yourselves with all of us!!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you so much Laurel!!! It is so exciting that you started stitching again. That is the highest compliment we could ever hope to have!!! I hope we can meet too!!! Hugs!!

[@Stitchalways]

Another wonderful flosstube ..Every minute spent with you makes me so happy... You are just amazing...Thanku from the bottom of my heart 💖 for the time you spend sharing all your Stitchy goodness with all of us...❤️

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you for your very kind and very uplifting comments!!!! We so appreciate it!!!! Hugs!

[@dwolfe581]

Another wonderful, fun video!! NO to 30 minute videos!! It was so fun to meet both of you at the Attic in November...I am Debbie Wolfe from Kansas, and traveled with Judy Starkey and Sue Wild. I just LOVE the Attic. If I could convince my hubby we would move there just to be close to the shop! I hope to see you both again sometime!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

We loved meeting you three gals!!!!!!!! You are all so much fun and I hope we are together again sometime soon!!!!! I wish we could all winter in Mesa!!!! Please tell Judy and Sue we said hello!!!!! Hugs!!!

[@reneebebla422]

Love all the Christmas inspiration. I pulled Mary Clayton out a couple of days ago and working on the house, you are going to enjoy that. So glad you are sharing all the linen for that Filbert and Old Towne Blend is beautiful. Also thanks to both of you, I am trying 40 count and it really is not too bad to stitch on. So going to try a redwork Sampler on 40 count.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks Renee!!!!! How exciting!!! Remember you have to give it a bit of time to adjust to the 40 count. I did not really like it at first and now I love it. Also, some linen has a tighter weave on 40 count so I suggest starting with an R&R or Weeks with the Zweigart base. Hope you love it!

[@christybearden9033]

So many wonderful things, so much inspiration! Must. Stitch. Faster! Love you ladies! ❤️

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks Christy!!! Yes, we all need to stitch faster!!!

[@sarahs3980]

I don't stitch xmas so I almost tuned out. So glad I stayed in to see your biscornus! You did such a great job on those. Especially the hardanger one. I'm going back and getting caught up on your videos. I'm hoping there is one where you do a tutorial. They were so nicely stitched together and full. I have a Victoria sampler biscornu pattern that I got recently. Scared! LOL
