Fantastic stitches ladies, y’all are just enablers. Last year I discovered how quickly life could end and I’m thankful and blessed to be healing , use the good china and wear the pearls because it’s lost in a box and like life it’s meant to be enjoyed. Happy Stitching!

[@linnieisenburg520]

Hi Erica. Thank you for watching and I pray you are ok. Yes indeed. We are not guaranteed another day so be happy and try to do everything you want. My mom’s pearls are now an every day reminder of the wonderful woman she was. Take care ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊

[@christinaderrico5159]

Love you ladies! Your stitching is always beautiful, and I live vicariously through you as far as the retreats 😊 take care ♥️

[@georgiaobrien8393]

I happened across that Litchfield KZbin- it was so informative! And would love to attend one of your ZOOM calls! Linnie, your appliqué work is wonderful - love those crows! Fingers crossed to get in next year’s Farm Girl Dry Goods retreat in Door County! Thank you both for a great evening!

[@prairiestitcher515]

Linnie, I’m a pearl girl all the way and I am a firm believer that pearls look great with a Tee and Jeans so good job you!!!!!

[@linnieisenburg520]

Oh thank you. They remind me so much of my mom. They make me smile. I wake up in the morning with bed head but I have on my pearls 😂

[@prairiestitcher515]

@@linnieisenburg520 I love it! Nothing makes bedhead classy like pearls 😉

[@quiltma]

Enjoyed the Z-M visit. Not signing up this one only because my Wednesday nights are for visiting a 95 year old quilting friend. Added shopping list with some designs you showed. Love Jennifer Chivarini’s books prefer the first half of the Elm Creek Series more than the last half.

[@linnieisenburg520]

Thank you for joint us when you could. Don’t pass up a wonderful visit with a dear friend. I liked Jennifer’s first books also. That’s what got me hooked on quilting and then that lead to stitching even thought I did both early on. Never realized the friendships that you can make. Thanks for watching ❤

[@DeeAZstitcher]

Don't think My comment went through ... Awww I have to "Pause" the video, and awww I got to the Morse Code, well it must be true, lol ... been a long day, and I've been up since 4AM. See ya tomorrow.

[@linnieisenburg520]

Oh no. Need to get some rest. Take care ❤

[@lindajones9375]

Y’all are so funny! I read something that made me think of you. What do you call a cow that won’t give milk………..do you give up? A milk dud😅😅

[@linnieisenburg520]

Hahaha. Thanks for watching ❤

[@richardallen1391]

I enjoy seeing your stitching and hearing about your retreat. Linnie, I'm sure your Mom is smiling knowing you are wearing her pearls. My summer plans are lots of pool time. It was fun to hear about your latest zoom call. Thanks Janine

[@linnieisenburg520]

Hi Janine. Thanks again for spending time with us. I love to think mom is looking down and she’s probably saying “it’s about time she took those pearls out”. However if you knew my sweet little mother she would have used a little different language. Hahaha. Thanks for watching and look out for Santa. I heard he’s coming to town. Hohoho❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊

[@NDQuilter1]

Oh my, what a fun video. Thanks so much, you are such sweethearts. ZOOM! You wear those pearls!! 😊

[@linnieisenburg520]

Thank you for sharing. I woke up to terrible bed head but I had on my pearls. Thank you for watching ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤

[@Roberta.SABLEStitchers]

I remember you talking about that in April! I hope the weather is wonderful as well. Maybe we could arrange a chat to hear all about it!

[@kayhelland9599]

Life is short…WEAR YOUR PEARLS!!!!! Love watching you girls. One year ago I went to 1st Sat. stitching at Quilter’s Station. My first and only time. I was so happy to meet Linnie. The very next day I ended up in the hospital with a kidney stone. While I was in the hospital, my Dad passed away. Now one year has passed and I want to return BUT we will be celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary.❤

[@linnieisenburg520]

I remember meeting you Kay and have been wondering how you are. Isn’t it something to think how one day to the next can change. I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad and having a kidney stone. I had passed one on the night my mom passed. I never knew how painful they are. Come to find out I had two more to come. Please come back whenever you can. I would love to stitch together again. Congratulations on your big anniversary celebration. Today we are actually celebrating our 53. Hard to believe we were just babies and now we are old farts. Haha. Enjoy your happy day and we will get together soon. ❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊

[@marla_a]

As always, I enjoyed watching you both while I was stitching. I think a zoom call would be fun!

[@AsberysEchoesStitches]

Thank for the shout out! I really enjoyed hearing about the retreat and your trip to the Amanas. We try to get there at least once a year. And I am going to have to visit The Woolen Needle. I live so close and have never been. Loved this video!

[@sandersida]

Another wonderful flosstube ladies!!! I have one more question.....Linny where did you get your Blackbird Designs quilt pattern The Raven? I always love watching you two. I always get a chuck or two.

[@linnieisenburg520]

I go mine at Quilters Station. I think they are still available. Thank you for watching ❤😊

[@sandersida]

Great job!! Enablers! 😉. You mentioned Paulette Stewart’s Patreon, I can’t find it, do I look under a different name? I love Plum Street. Thank you!

[@ruthcole4723]

Roberta, I’m so glad you enjoyed the Iowa retreat. You came back with some great finds. Linnie, look at you diving right in on the Raven quilt. It is going to be wonderful. I am flying into Kansas City again on June 5th and will be going on a quilt tour through Country Heritage Tours. We will be going through Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska. I hope your back is better and look forward to your next video.

[@cynthia8022]

Ok….”Tr,la,la” is the Alice pattern….Love it!

[@cindyrichards6019]

Love all your stitches! The retreat sounds like so much fun. You mentioned you sat with 2 ladies from California. I'm from Northern California and was wondering if they have an Instagram. I'm new to cross stitch and I'm looking for a possible stitch group who meets periodically. Thanksfor sharing all your wonderful information and jokes 😊

[@nancypeterson8339]

Linnie, I love the pearls! Kind of like using the fine China:) I had my first grandchild graduate from BVSW. Yes, I think we live in the same area of JOCO. Love you ladies and all your stitching! Be well!

[@linnieisenburg520]

Oh my. My third grandson goes to BVSW. we could be neighbors. I live on 151st and Oakmont. Isn’t it a special moment. I woke up to terrible bed head this morning but the pearls were beautiful ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ thanks for watching

[@Roberta.SABLEStitchers]

My sons graduated from Olathe East, but we were on the border between that school and BVNW.

[@dianekuzirian7742]

Hello Ladies!! It's such a joy to see your beautiful stitching and hear your stories! Zoom in for the next session. I'll be nice and pass it on to the next if I'm chosen. Until next time......😊❤😊

[@barbaracarbone8101]

Thank you for entertaining me while I finished stitching Anabella’s prim patriotic crow small and starting the sheep. Roberta, I enjoyed hearing all about your retreat. It sounds like a lot of fun. It was fun seeing all the goodies you collected. I’m looking forward to going on your garden tour. Because I live in an entirely different part of the country I am interested in seeing what plants you grow. Linnie, I enjoyed seeing all of your finishes at the beginning of the video. I have the Susan Ache book and seeing your finishes reminded me that I need to pull that book out. I have read several Jennifer Chiaverini books. They are such good reads. I used to check them out of the library. Maybe I’ll try to look for them again. Congrats on your grandson’s graduation. I’ll be lucky to live long enough to see my oldest grandson graduate. I can see you are one proud Mimi. Enjoy your stitching time between now and the next video.

[@susanspratling]

Have you ever tried Lori Holt easy appliqué? It is so easy. Just thought I would mention it😊. Thank you both so much! I have read most of Jennifer’s quilt book series, they are so fun to read!

[@grmanat]

Congratulations on your grandsons graduation. My second grandson graduates Saturday. The second of 7 years in a row. Amana Colonies is one of my favorite places! Two weeks from today I’m heading to Stitch Con.

[@christieschepers5072]

Hello ladies! I live in Jefferson City and did live in Overland Park and PV for quite a few years. I do not have a needlework shop here. So many things I miss about living there.

[@sandersida]

I absolutely love you ladies! Roberta, did I hear you say that Paulette Stewart has a Pateron? (I might be confused and its a Pateron for Farmgirl.) If so would you be so kind as to tell me how I can join that?

[@mmassanyi]

Jennifer Chiaverini has written a new Elm Creek novel after a long break. It’sCalled the museum of lost quilts.

[@darleenbumgardner5179]

Good video! I love it when your names pop up. I would like to zoom with you two. The Prairie Schooler design you showed i did a few years ago. I gave it to my sister. I enjoy all your pieces.

Way too many beautiful stitching pieces that I would love to stitch too! I do have American Welcome, but I did not start it yet. Love it! A Zoom with you girls would be fun.

I’m sure you probably know by now, but the lights are shining in her glasses and it’s very distracting because there’s two circles😂

It was great to see you at Amana. I enjoyed Die Heimat, too. A zoom call sounds fun! Beautiful projects you two are doing.

Your FlossTube is so interesting…lots of stitching and reading. I would love to zoom with you.

The Litchfield zoom was wonderful…and American samplers too! Thank you for the updates and stitches.

Oh my I’d LOVE to see a picture of that!! I loved that you had bunnies flying around too - my husband and I are in NYC for a 3 year job and I MISS YARDS!!! The city is fun, but give me the woods any day!!🤣😂🤷🏼‍♀️. Miss Linnie - I have SO ENJOYED your grandson’s graduation!! Wouldn’t that sound funny to a person who is not part of our stitching community? I love that you share your joys with us - I always think of how blessed those boys are to have their Mimi around to have fun with and spoil!💖 Oh, and your stitching was nice too!! 🤣😂☺️💖. That Farmgirl retreat always sounds like so much fun Roberta! Take care ladies!! We love ya back!!

[@Roberta.SABLEStitchers]

I have annuals in the front of the house, in pots and some in the back garden. I've found only a few that the rabbits don't eat, which is why most are in pots. I know I'd miss a yard too if we were in the city! Thanks for spending time with us and taking time to comment!

[@stitcherwiththelaughingface]

Hi ladies! I loved that you talked about The Scarlet Letter. I did a project on samplers in high school and redesigned a sampler to add the quote “A woman derives a pleasure, (incompressible to the opposite sex) from the delicate toil of the needle.” I have also rad a lot of the Jennifer Chivarini books. So good! I would love to be able to zoom with you! Have a great week!

[@Roberta.SABLEStitchers]

What a great high school project and love that quote! Coincidentally, I'm currently listening to one of her books- Switchboard Soldiers-and am really enjoying it!

[@carolfawcett1297]

It is always a wonderful afternoon watching you ladies! Linnie, your bracelet is the BEST!! Congratulations to your grandson Mason for graduating from HS! It is a very exciting time in life to be starting a new chapter and going off to college! I adore you wearing your mom’s pearls! My mom has been gone for 12 years, and she left me a lot of beautiful jewelry, including pearls! They are so classic and classy too! I really enjoyed seeing the pictures of your garden Roberta! What a beautiful and peaceful yard you have! Roberta, thank you for sharing about your retreat in Amana! I would love to attend someday, but it sounds like it is almost impossible to get in! The upcoming Quilter’s Station retreat sounds fabulous too! If only I could win the lottery to be able to afford to attend all of these fantastic retreats! I would love to Zoom with you gals, and if I am picked, I’ll wear my pearls-LOL! I hope that you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend filled with time to relax and do lots of stitching!

Carol, if you're interested in attending an upcoming Farmgirl retreat just get on her newsletter. Things come up and there are always cancellations; I got into my first Farmgirl retreat with about two weeks notice.

[@judygibbons5983]

Roberta, I also found the Litchfield seminar very interesting. As always I love seeing the beautiful pieces you’re working on and hearing of your adventures. I go to Spring Green next week; I’ve never been to Wisconsin so a new adventure for me!! I’d love to come to Quilters Station in September; I’ll have to see if I can work it out! ❤

Thanks again for another visit! Linnie, how do you get down from an elephant? Silly, you get down from a goose! I heard about a new floss dyer, Farmhouse Flosses. I ordered some. They are so nice and come in 10 yard skeins. She has a website and ships quickly. Love you ladies. Blessings.

[@Roberta.SABLEStitchers]

I have not heard of her before and will have to check it out! Thank you!

[@deehansen5490]

Great video! Loved the recap of the Amanda Retreat! When you said “let us know” at the end of the video, it reminded me of my oldest daughter. We always said the prayer “God is great God is good, let us thank him for out food” before eating dinner every night. She thought it was talking about lettuce and didn’t realize it wasn’t”lettuce” until college! We have laughed about that a lot over the years! I would be interested in a zoom meeting! Roberta, where did you say you got the Love to Stitch Biscornu & scissor fob by Cosford Rise Stitchery? I love that chart and it would be a great smalls exchange gift!

[@Roberta.SABLEStitchers]

I got mine from the Top Knot Stitcher because there was a link on her Instagram post that gave a discount. You can also order it directly from the Cosford Rise Etsy shop as a PDF: www.etsy.com/listing/1485699548/love-to-stitch-biscornu-and-scissor-fob?gpla=1&gao=1&&Cj0KCQjw6uWyBhD1ARIsAIMcADp8unovI4hEJp7OJ7_VcOv5uX1RrK_snCSdaNjGC3Wr8UpTH5tZMMIaAjd5EALw_wcB_k_&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6uWyBhD1ARIsAIMcADp8unovI4hEJp7OJ7_VcOv5uX1RrK_snCSdaNjGC3Wr8UpTH5tZMMIaAjd5EALw_wcB

Question for the plant manager. I have been at war with bud worms! Any good advice? The bt stuff isn’t working. I even stopped planting the large bud type of flowers for a couple of years and that didn’t work either.

[@Roberta.SABLEStitchers]

I get those too. Last year I just picked them off as I saw them but was going to try the,BT this year. I watch Laura from Garden Answer and she says they spray every week.

If you watch Pumpkin Hollow - Olivia is going to stitch Liz Matthews pumpkin patch but do the crows at the bottom instead. It was on her last Flosstube.

I made the Nightshade Bird drum from Plum Street Samplers and added two strawberries. I have a photo of it on Instagram and Facebook if you do those.

Nice FGG recap & pics, very cute Retreat items & cool gift items, gorgeous thread bed pal from Denise, "DotDotGoose", so generous of her to make them for all attendees, wow! And super nice table-mate gifts from Jessica, "Sweetwater Stitcher" another wow!!! Ohhh, nice "steal" but I get it, hard to do, yet that's so pretty!!! I really need to get my WIPs back to organized by Season, and slap my had when I want to do a New Start!!! Beautiful Work by Both of You. Yes, I did some ooohs & aaahs ... Leave the pearls at that length. Horse Story 🤣 I enjoyed the video.

I want to thank you for directing me to Quilter’s Station. They had The Raven and soon it will be winging its way to me. Once I have my choice of fabric set, I will order from them. I also told them you had given me their name. I’m so happy! ❤️❤️

Thank tou ladies for another great video. 🌸🪻🌷🌻🌺🌹🪷💐

[@sheilalovesgreg3489]

Lovely lovely video!!! Great retreat recap! I have a large covered patio with a very comfortable couch that my husband and I enjoy sitting on and I stitch out there all summer long and it’s wonderful. I do have a light I take out there since we have power plugs. My husband is also a stitcher, but he likes to watch the birds. We have a lot of hummingbirds. I like the stitch and listen to the birds, and occasionally look up when I hear or he tells me there’s a hummingbird. We have 4 feeders in the back and one in the front. So it’s pretty active. Happy stitches ladies! 🪡🧵💞

You ladies had me tearing up at the end of this one! Linny, your grandbabies are blessed to have you in their lives! My kids are blessed to have time with both sets of grandparents. BOTH of my babies are getting married this year (daughter was in March, son will be in October) and they get to have all of their grandparents present…but their spouses don’t have that blessing. It’s a unique and special bond no one else can fill….and time can zoom by so fast!!!!

Hope you have the opportunity to attend a retreat soon! Yes, did video calls with our sons and their families; would be nice to see them in person but always happy to hear from them.

Yes signed up for my first cross stitch retreat in July. It’s local and a small group of 25! Small is good for a first. Yes family time from afar is always a plus!

So fun to spend time with you ladies again. Linnie, Congratulations on Mason's graduation! And Roberta thank you for sharing some of Amana's history. I learned some new things that I was not aware of and I grew up in West Branch, Ia. which is not far from Amana.

Yes, I've been to the Hoover library a few times and told Rachel from Needle & Flax about that last year so she could gather info about Lou Hoover!

[@debmyers1648]

@@Roberta.SABLEStitchers What a good idea to let Rachel know. One summer in college I worked at the Hoover Library organizing and repairing Commission papers. I am sure that it is all on microfilm now. 😃

Hi ladies …. Thanks for your shares. When you brought up the Scarlett letter . There was a TV series back in the late 70’s early 80’s. I suggest you search for the images of the letter A of what the actress wore. That was lovely compared to the one depicted in the modern day version. It might show more of what the cross stitch designer Scarlett Letter uses for their logo. Just a tidbit of information

[@Roberta.SABLEStitchers]

I just checked and looks like at least part of the series is on KZbin. I didn't remember that at all!

[@cbwoods5166]

@@Roberta.SABLEStitchers I actually rewatched it they have all four parts in two KZbin segments. It was as good as I remembered. So worth it.

Thank you for another fun video ladies! Love all the pretty stitches and laughter. 💖 I also enjoy hearing about the retreat. One Day I hope to be a retreat attendee. Happy Stitching!

[@Roberta.SABLEStitchers]

I do hope you will be able to attend a retreat some day! There's so many great ones popping up and hopefully one will be nearby or work with your schedule!

@@Roberta.SABLEStitchers Thank you! I did sign up for the retreat in Williamsburg, VA with Paulette Stewart. Hopefully I will be able to make it. It's exciting! I also had signed up for the Library Stitchers in April this past year, but I had some eye strokes in January and went through a lot of medical stuff and we felt it best that I stick close to home. I'm doing well right now and stitching, and quilting!
