Episode #36

[@FlosstituteSoozie]

The thing I want to emphasize in my comment today is how much I appreciate all the time and preparation you go through to bring your videos to us. I don’t do videos but I can clearly see the commitment and work involved. Your videos are ALWAYS given my undivided attention. Thank you ladies and that comes from the bottom of my heart, it truly truly does. 😊🥰😊🥰

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

oh my goodness...thank you so much for your kind comments!!!! Just remember we have as much fun doing them as anyone might have watching them so it is a win win situation!!! Hugs and happy stitching to you!

[@tinajensen6687]

Two little words can make a BIG difference. “Thank You” means a lot! But so does “Plain, Old” DMC. Yet DMC is still very beautiful. Thank you for the video ladies!🙂 Love seeing your projects.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

I love DMC with their wide range of colors! and it's relatively easy to find:)))

[@StitchingWithTheSisterlies]

Sally The Humble Bubble Stitcher is theeeeee sweetest! Beautiful generous soul :) you both made me pause you, go to Hands Across The Sea, download Tis The Season, then walk quickly in the rain, down the stairs to quilting to studio to retrieve said chart from the printer, grab a plastic container to place said chart in and huff back up the stairs to the cottage....soooo worth being breathless ;)

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

AWWWWW! I love that story about being compelled out of your chair to go to all that trouble to get a chart right that minute!!!! Yes!!!!! We are kindred spirits!

[@kathyh7826]

Love the two of you!!! You have saved my sanity. I returned to X stitch after 20 years,my things have changed!! You helped understand what I have missed. Thanks Kathy with a K.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

That is so exciting Kathy!!!!!!!!!! You must be like a kid in a candy store!!!! So happy you are stitching again!

[@grandmastraw]

Yay! Tab is back....life is almost normal now. The Tim Holz stickers look so fun. I watched this video twice....once to just fully enjoy and go “ahhhh” and “ohhhh”....then I watched it again, pausing multiple times to write down patterns. You guys have a great couple of weeks. Blessings and take care.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

I loved that ‘citrusy aroma’ when first popped !!! Miss Tab, but since I can’t have caffeine nor aspartame any longer, I will imagine the scent in my mind. Enjoy

[@marygontjes9543]

Hi Barb and Laura! Another great video! So much eye candy!!! Laura’s Halloween finishes are fantastic! Great job! Thanks for so many great recommendations - I already checked out most of the shops you mentioned and their awesome! I don’t think I’d ever heard of Brenda Keyes and The Sampler Company, but wowzer, I’ll be oogling all of her charts for a while. You both mentioned the fall colors - well I feel the same way about them! A beautiful tree can just stop me in my tracks. If you ever questioned God’s existence, the fall colors are proof positive he created the earth! 🍂🍁 have a fantastic couple of weeks ladies!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

I am nervious about cutting fabric myself, but someone taught me to pull a thread from the linen to make a straight line......it works great. Measure three times both ways.All your things are just amazing and I am waiting eagerly for all your Christmas inspirations!!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks Suzy!!! I have seen people pulling a thread but it looks very scary to me (Laura)!!! I will ask Brenda about it. She probably knows how to do it!

[@tracey936]

Thanks Wendy!! That is right! We need lots of options!

[@bizybee65]

You two make Sunday so much fun! So many beautiful pieces, my list is growing of samplers I want to stitch. I printed the newest Hands Across the Sea Sampler last week and thought about getting the Christmas girls...now I think I have to go back and get them! Laura glad you found your Tab! I couldn’t imagine going that long without my Coke. When I’m at my desk or doing stitching I sit my can inside a coffee mug to keep safe from knocking it over on my work. Have a wonderful week ladies😊. Anne

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thanks Anne!!! That is a great idea about putting your can in a coffee mug! I shall have to try that at Brenda's house so I don't knock anything over. Glad you are going to get the Christmas girls!!!! I feel a start coming on them.......

I so enjoy you two. It’s like your sitting across the table from me at my lns showing me what you bought! It’s because of you two and Carol that I’m going to start my first reproduction sampler January 1st. In fact, I have several kitted up and ready to go. Blackbird is my favorite and that’s as close as I’ve gotten until seeing your videos.

Good video! Enjoyed your Halloween patterns. It made me go get Prairie Schooler When Witches go riding and work on it. I dont know when I started it. My favorite R&R fabric is winter brew.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you Darleen!!! So glad that spurred you on to get out Witches!!!!!! Winter Brew is a fabulous R&R linen!!

I have those plastic magnet thingies coming this week from Amazon. I ordered the wrong size the first time, not sure what I was thinking. Thank you for your videos, they are so fun.

Thank you, Laura, I too am linen cutting anxious! It takes me at least a day, if not two. I'm getting much braver! I've asked for Feast of Friendship for my birthday 🎉! Love you both and thank you so much for your videos!!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

Thank you Sarah! I hope that you get that chart and that it is all kitted up for your birthday!!!

I so enjoyed your visit and seeing all your Halloween/Autumn stitching, past, present, anf future. I was actually stitching on Prairie Schooler's "When Witches Go Riding" while I watched you. Brenda, your Halloween tree with the little Blackbird Designs stockings is so cute! Carolyn and Jean from the Attic in their last flosstube showed that they still had some "Tis Halloween" booklets with the stockings. So, since they are open now on Fridays and Saturdays, and since I only live 4 miles away (are you jealous?!), I went there and bought a copy! I would like to do a garland of the stockings. I also plan to do some of BBD monthly stockings as well. Thanks, Laura and Brenda.

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

You only live 4 miles away from the Attic????????????? We are EXTREMELY jealous!!!!!!!! We will have to meet you the next time we are there! I so hope that is in 2021!!!!!!!!! Glad you got that booklet of Halloween stockings!!!! Thanks for watching and commenting Nan!! Hugs!

Tab was my jam when I was in high school and college in the 80s. Can’t drink it now, but sure wish I could.

Thanks Denise!!!

Thanks Laura when I ran into you and for your time today at Inspired Needle as I sought to find some designs I could ‘sink my teeth into’. I love the thread colors and designs for both. Began ‘Set Your Mind at Ease’ and might get another stretcher bar set so I can also stitch Kindred Spirits alternately. Your insight, time and advice was tremendous. Thanks much!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

It was so wonderful to meet you Mindy!!!!! and it was such fun to go around the store with you to look at potential projects!!!! So happy you found two that you are really loving!! I would do that every day if I could. Great fun. Happy Stitching!!! Hope to see you again soon!

[@mindymcmahon6482]

@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 I started taking photographs of my progress on Instagram since you asked if I posted there. I’m a beginner with Instagram and learning how to edit, but fun seeing designs evolving. I also picked up QSnaps to try those and set up Kindred Spirits. Thanks for your encouragement.

I saw Nicola's Flosstube earlier today Oct. 11 and saw the Tis the Seasons girls. I immediately thought of Laura. I figured you would love them. I always enjoy you both so much. The Halloween show of charts was inspiring. Thank you for another great video.

Thank you so much Alice!!! We appreciate your kind comments!!!

[@StitchingisElementary]

You have so many awesome Halloween patterns Laura ! You should do one a month throughout the year!

[@brendaandtheserialstarter2410]

I really should!!! I should also do a Christmas ornament each month....but it just never seems to happen!

I love me a good longaberger basket - that is beautiful. My mom is downsizing into an apartment and I was her lucky recipient of 8 or so! I was all HEPPED up for sure when I got that box! I just finished that Hello Fall by Plum Street - you can start and finish in a week, it's super fast.
