Great to see you again! Fun to hear all about Galleria, and of course, seeing your stitching. I hope you feel better soon, Holly.

[@InsomniacStitcher]

It's great to see you back! I always enjoy your videos!

[@lorriescott3283]

I just came across your flosstube a couple weeks ago. I have binged watched all 18 episodes over the last 2 weeks. You have gone to the gym with me, you have stitched with me and kept me company in the kitchen making homemade noodles. I have gotten some strange looks as I LOL right along with you. Your episodes are so fun and uplifting. Look forward to your next episode. I too am in Iowa and have been to Osage several times to Stitchery Nook. However, Fiberworks is new to me so will be looking to make a road trip to check it out.

[@kentuckywomanstitcher2174]

So sorry you have been sick, Holly. Early school year sickness can be difficult to deal with. Hope you are well on the road to recovery. It was so nice to meet you at Galleria, Anita. Isn't it the most marvelous place? My sister and I have been several years and we always come home with a car load of goodies. Hope you are having a great week. Kathy

[@rhondaedwards6736]

So glad you gals FINALLY got back...miss your laughing!

[@renafurman1890]

So good to see you girls again! I've missed you both!

[@debbiecollins5546]

[@pamrosenberry7575]

Welcome back ladies! I need a finishing retreat. I have a drawer full of almost completed work. I have ONE finish on the wall 😣 I ave the Peace on Earth almost done. Doing the dark version. Get well soon.

[@pattisloey7790]

[@pglavin7691]

You’ve been missed! Always an inspiration!

[@marylang5618]

Such beautiful stitching you both are doing! Thank you for sharing. If you all ever come to GA...let me know 😊....Take care and it was wonderful to see you ❤️

[@hollyandanita]

[@careyray5792]

So fun to see y’all again!

[@tammybunge5615]

Glad to see you both back!!

[@BuckeyeCrossStitcher]

Good to see you girls. Feel better Holly!

[@theresaatkinson6628]

I woke up early and traveled 2 hours (119 mi) to Osage IA to the Stitching Nook! Oh my, what a beautiful, awesome shop! I spent over 2 hours in there, buying some cute things and then some! I told Shari, one of the owners, I learned about their shop through you on Floss Tube. I love this shop, so well organized, Shari was so helpful and knowledgeable. It was an awesome day. Thanks for mentioning this awesome shop and being on Floss Tube! Also the owner grew up 11 miles from me in MN, and while I was in there a woman attending the retreat there was from a town just 10 miles from me. Small world.

[@hollyandanita]

Theresa Atkinson, so awesome!! Next time you are coming, let us know so we can try to meet you there. We love Sherry and Liz! They have become dear friends. We’re thrilled you enjoyed your visit! It is a very special shop. 😊

[@lisaerneststitchaholic4626]

Watched kyle and heard so much about you two! Fun video glad I watched!

[@stitchesandcoffeewithJurgita]

You're always a barrel of laughs:D Anita, it was so fun meeting you at the Galleria- hope to see you there again next year. Perhaps Holly will be able to join you with her hubby too! Great progresses and nice stash additions, girls. Keep on stitching! Jurgita

[@hollyandanita]

Magic Pond Crafts ‘We’ will be there!😉

[@yarnsnthreads]

Glad to see you both back, you were missed. I hope you feel better soon Holly.

[@glynnhempel4271]

Glad y’all are back! Missed ya!

[@sharonwurm4382]

Holly I sure hope you are feeling better! I hear you about being tired, I work at a community college and I’m exhausted. Thanks for another great video!

[@marvaweir2656]

It was so good to see you ladies again. I hope you get to feeling better Holly! I wish I could have gone to Galleria too, Anita! I would only be about a four hour drive for me, but it was too close to another trip out of town so I couldn't make it this time. Maybe next year. You got some great things, but it doesn't look like you got carried away (which would be easy to do). Looking forward to seeing both of your progress on your current projects. Take care!

[@beckygodby713]

Welcome Back!!! I've missed you!!! As a former teacher, I totally understand how one feels during September. You seem to be weathering it well, though! Hope you get to feeling better soon, Holly.

[@turquoisestitcher7124]

Hope you feel better soon. I heard the flu is starting out early. Can't wait to see your needle book. That mushroom is cute. And Lady Liberty is awesome!! Your bags are lovely. That cardinal is so very cute. I can't wait to see the finishing on that one. Hope your fall break is soon and you can both get some rest. Thank you for donning your capes everyday to teach our youth!!

[@hollyandanita]

Thank you so much!!!!!

[@jen-threadbythread0630]

Great to see you back ladies! Miss you both! Galleria sounds like it was amazing! Holy smokes...I would be the same way Anita! I'm already anticipating what it will be like at Stitch-Con!! Oh snap!! Holly, hope you feel better! You both have a great stitchy week! ~Jen

[@hollyandanita]

Thanks Jen! I am feeling a little better today, so hoping that means I'm on the mend. So wish we could meet you at Stitch-Con!! If only we could quit our jobs and travel from retreat to retreat.....ahhh....wouldn't that be the life?!

[@artsymarcy7830]

I'm so glad I got to meet you at Galleria Anita! Jeff had a great time with your husband and I'm so glad that worked out for the two of them to go to the game! I'm looking forward to meeting you at Midwest Holly! Those pesky school kid coughs! I went years without catching the bugs that would fly around until I had grandchildren. Then they started bringing them home and we all started coughing and sputtering again. The stitching wowed me again today as usual. You guys always bring the best stuff!

[@hollyandanita]

Artsy Marcy Marcy! I can’t wait to see you again! We need to schedule same time, next year at the Galleria with the hubsters! 😉

[@MarleneBush]

I have missed y’all so much! Three more weeks and I’ll get to see your sweet faces again, and I can’t wait! Blessings, Marlene

[@hollyandanita]

stitchinbythelake We are so looking forward to seeing you!🤗

[@theresaatkinson6628]

I live 119 miles from Osage and plan on visiting that shop next weekend! I can not wait!

[@hollyandanita]

Theresa Atkinson It is an amazing shop! Get a punch card and check out retreats they have planned!👍

[@StitchALLTheThings]

I was so happy to see a video from you both! I miss you! I hope you are feeling better, Holly! Your little sneaky smoocher had me cracking up! Anita, I so agree that we should be stitching on what gives us joy! I just wanted to hug you! Also, how you felt when sitting next to Teresa?! That was me when you two walked in the door at Acorns and Threads. Except we all know I had no problem my mouth from screaming out loud... LOL!

[@hollyandanita]

Stitch ALL The Things Miss you! Holly is on the mend and we are both hoping to tape soon. Planning on Portland again next summer!🤗

[@theresaatkinson6628]

Awesome WIPS ladies!

[@tanyaknight1201]

I'm new to ur channel and I have to say it's a lot of fun watching u ladies, u laugh alot and make me laugh alot too which is fab normally it's me making people laugh lol, I'm in the UK, and I'm going to catch up on ur other videos and see what other giggles I get, thankyou for such a fun watch, Tanya x

[@hollyandanita]

Thank you so much for watching! We definitely love to laugh, so you'll find a lot of that here! :)

[@sharlastogdill5500]

I've been wondering about you two! Get well soon!

[@jomariehogle1980]

Enjoyed the video ladies. Love the update. Holly take your husband on a birthday trip. Lol To Galleria. 😀

[@jeangrcia2181]

Your back!!!!

[@farmboyslove980]

It's great to see you back! Get some black elderberry syrup or melts. I find it at Walmart near cough drops. It help build immunity & cuts down on recovery time once you are sick. If I'm already sick, I take more than recommend dosage. You'll feel so much better. Get some rest & stitch on!!

[@hollyandanita]

Farmboyslove Thanks for the tip and the well wishes!😊

[@sheilabanks7175]

Enjoyed your video very much!

[@tammybunge5615]

We were there September 22nd with 2 other girlfriends and had a blast!! My first time there❤❤❤

[@hollyandanita]

Sorry we missed you Tammy. So glad you had a great time!

[@lindacraig5056]

Great to see you back again. Holly hope you feel better soon. Take care and happy stitching

[@Elaine_Jim_McGuire]

Missed you two! Holly, feel better sweetie ♡ Anita. I can totally relate about sometimes feeling a bit overwhelmed with wips. Been there and done that. I'm trying to keep myself to no more than 5 going in a rotation.

[@hollyandanita]

Elaine McGuire Five would be a dream! Just focusing on what’s important.😊

[@PattiGirard]

Great seeing you! But you do this on your schedule! (We'll be here when you come back.) I hope you feel better Holly. I'm jealous Anita of your trip to Galleria. And I want to live vicariously - show the summer haul!

[@hollyandanita]

Patricia Girard We thought about it but decided just to move forward. I’m sure we’ll weave some into future videos.😊

[@kathypisarczyk1574]

Happy to see you had a flosstube video. You’ve been missed. Hope you feel better soon. So sorry I missed you at Galleria Anita! I am bummed. Holly you so have to come next year.

[@hollyandanita]

Kathy Pisarczyk Holly does need to attend next year!🤗

[@homesteadingonthehomefront]

I would be verklempt if I met Theresa, too!!! Holly, your Tis the Season is looking great and that red is superb! I was missing you ladies so I am so happy you're back. I know what a crazy time September is for teachers...I just started subbing at the high school I taught at before I got married, and boy am I tired... feel better soon!

[@hollyandanita]

Thank you Lanette!! I feel a little better today so hoping I'm on the mend. Bless your heart for subbing. Good subs are hard to come by. Being a teacher is one of the toughest job out there, that's for sure! We are pooped out by the end of everyday.

[@homesteadingonthehomefront]

About 4 hours ago, I accepted a long-term sub position at my alma mater, which is the same school Eldest is attending. I didn't think they could make it worth my while, but they did. Now I have 10 days to relearn Algebra II. This is so going to cut into my stitchy time!!!!

[@hollyandanita]

That is awesome!! You will be amazing and the kids will love you!! Algebra was my favorite!!

[@KEBStudioCreations]

Great finishes!

[@Amylovestoads]

First, Holly, you poor thing. I am so sorry you catch those crazy germs and are sick. I hope you feel better soon. Second, OMG... Those frogs mugs are the BEST! My heart skipped a beat when you held them up. Where did you get them? Third, Anita, I would have been the same way if I was with Kitten Stitcher. (Fan-girling big time). Forth, I loved seeing all the stitching, patterns and you two!! Hugs to you both~ ❤️

[@hollyandanita]

Amylovestoads Amy! Those mugs are reserved for you!🤗

[@dawnbrinker2384]

It was great meeting you in the Rosewood Manor booth last weekend . Thanks for sharing the retreat places with us😀. My friend and I decided next Year we are staying Thursday and Friday night so we can stitch with everyone and have more time to shop !

[@hollyandanita]

Dawn Brinker Ditto and agree! The Thursday evening shopping sounded fun!

[@tamieneal2343]

I was so excited to get the notifier that you were podcasting! Yeah! I could never be a teacher. I tried to teach 4th graders Sunday school and lasted a quarter. Your projects look great!

[@sonjaarredondo8932]

Glad to see you two. Hope your cough gets better. Theresa Venette---wow!!!!!!!!!!

[@stitchingsunshinerae]

Come back again soon, please. Missed you.

[@MeanwhileattheCastle]

Where did you find the Lady of the Flag chart?! It’s gorgeous, and I NEED one! 😍

[@hollyandanita]

Meanwhile, at the Castle We were able to get it when it was first rereleased...😊

[@marthajohnson643]

I’ve missed y’all. I hope you have a restful weekend.

[@gcarte60]

Really enjoy your videos. Hope you are able to do them more often. What does a summer of haul look like? We want to see....if you are like us.

[@imclueless1]

Hope you get better soon. Maybe that’ll be your sick for the rest of the seasons.

[@stitchywitch42]

I am sooooooooo happy to see your smoochie cute faces Audrey

[@hollyandanita]

stitchywitch42 Back at you...😘

[@robbiegroeninger3806]

Holly, any chance I can eat a Becker Elementary t-shirt by the MN retreat? My daughter is a teacher and her last name is Becker, I think she would get such a kick out of it! Just let me know if it’s possible and we can work out details. If not, no problem! So excited about going to the retreat!Thanks, Robbie

[@hollyandanita]

Hi Robbie! How fun! I wish I could get you a t-shirt by then, but unfortunately I have to wait on when the school decides to order new ones. I know they will be putting an order in sometime this Fall, but not sure when. I will let you know when I hear something! They usually change up the design though. My shirt is an older model. Can't wait to see you in a few weeks!! :)

[@robbiegroeninger3806]

Thanks, I appreciate it. We can talk and if possible I’ll have you order one for me the next time they order. Hope you’re feeling better and see you in MN!

[@maryfleming9408]

Misses you two! Holly, where did you find Lady of the Flag? She is impossible to find🙁

[@hollyandanita]

Mary Fleming Secured it when it was first announced as a rerelease. 😊

[@KyleStitchingInSound]

AHHH I've missed you both so much! Totally understand why you both have been away for awhile. Seeing that you two had a video up made my day so much better :)

[@kanikis6503]

So nice to see you ladies back!!! And I'm sure the beginning of the school year- has had you both running on full steam ahead.. Hoping you find time for you!!! Blessings Niki

[@Cindyscrossstitch]

Love you ladies. So good to see you. Galleria, some day. It's on the bucket list. We all love kitten stitcherl. I am looking forward to her update from the show. Holly hope you feel better.🌻

[@pammurphy2258]

Don’t we all have mystery linen?

[@hollyandanita]

Pam Murphy We definitely do! 😎

[@barbseverino1278]

Holly I love Turkish red!! Can I borrow your idea? Anita I love your haul. And meeting kitten Stitcher!!!!! Love you both and have missed you...

[@bettyulan1247]

Anita, did your husband go up in the Arch? You’d have to pay me big money to go back up there. I felt so claustrophobic. The frog mugs are too cute. Very pretty stitching. Holly, hope you get to feeling better.

[@hollyandanita]

Betty Ulan He did not. Thank you for the well wishes!

[@suegagne4837]

holly what is the name of that lady liberty that u finished who is the designer please. nice job on it.... and welcome back love your videos . hope u feel better soon

[@hollyandanita]

Sue Gagne Becky Boos! Such a fun stitch!🤗

[@theresaatkinson6628]

I don’t live far from Osage, IA, I did know there is a cross stitch shop. What is it called? Thanks.

[@hollyandanita]

Theresa Atkinson The Stitchery Nook. It is fabulous!

[@TheWhitnick]

What is the name and pattern of the liberty piece with the stars above her hair?

[@hollyandanita]

It is called Becky Boo's Lady Liberty. I think it is out of print and hard to find. It might be worth contacting the designer: A Stitcher's Hands ph# 972-317-2445, email: www.astitchershands.com Good luck!!

[@karinmuir9876]

Still trying to get in touch with you both.....I don't have Instagram and have sent several messages to gmail.

[@gcarte60]

Would you be willing to sell you Liberty Angel pattern or let me borrow it.

[@marylou3355]

Come on show us what a summer's worth of haul looks like.
