When I was a little girl, my mother would assemble a travel bag for me for long, cross-country car trips. I wasn’t able to dig into the bag until we pulled out of the driveway. By the time the back two tires touched the street, I had opened the bag and thrown everything all over the backseat. New crayons, coloring books, math workbooks (young nerd), car games, stickers, colorforms (remember those?), and snacks. I was so excited! I think I might do the same for my special starts - wrap up a gift box with my pattern, fabric, threads, a new needleminder, project bag, and a special snack. Then I won’t allow myself to open it until that day. What a fun way to make it even more special!

Ladies - I've stitched for 40+ years, I'm new to Flosstube and so happy to have found your channel. I have parrots including an African Grey and when I saw Elizabeth Eyles I didn't hesitate to purchase the chart. That stylized gray bird is fabulous! Laura, your birthday SAL is the first I've ever participated in and I'm excited. If you haven't already, please watch Lori Holt's recent Flosstube where she stitches sampler motifs and makes them into buttons, amazing. I'm so grateful for your sharing hearts!

The two of you literally bring me to happy tears with your love and zest for life and stitching.

THREE WEEKS? Really? You expect us to go 3 weeks without you? Humph! You are both a joy and enablers! Thank you for the wonderful time together!

The Jane floss drop is fab. Such much eye candy in this video. 🧵🧵🧵happy stitching.

It’s always so wonderful to stitch along while you ladies celebrate your stitching, but really what you’re celebrating is a great friendship. It’s a joy to watch. Brenda, safe travels & enjoy Amana. Laura, enjoy every minute with your mom. She sounds like a hoot.

Brenda I'm so happy your last treatment is right around the corner!! I hope you have just the very best time at the retreat with Brenda Gervais! Can't wait to see what she designs for all of you. 💔
Laura, I hope the trip with your mom is over the top best trip ever! Looking forward to seeing all the buttons you'll be making!
What beautiful stitchy kindness you both recieved!! You both are such a blessing to this stitching community! You just give us all so much joy and get us " hepped" about stitching!
I have been to the Hobbyhouse Needlework shop. It is a beautiful place! The owners are super sweet and very welcoming and helpful. Pittsford NY where the shop is, is a beautiful little town. You would just love it!! I'm planning a stop there in November ( I have to inform the husband we must go there) on our way to Buffalo to spend Thanksgiving with our kids and grandkids. I ordered the new HATS exclusive from there too!! I'll also be stitching the one for Laura's birthday .Can't wait to start it.
Happy Stitching and safe travels ❤ 😊

Another wonderful video. Just not enough hours in a day to get all the stitching done! Brenda, glad you are so close to being done with treatments. You look amazing. Have a great time at the retreat. I visited Amanda years ago with friends and have fond memories of that trip. Laura, enjoy your vacation with your mother. My mother passed away this past July and am missing her so much. So blessed she lived to be 90, but wish everyday that I could sit and visit with her again. You both will be making wonderful memories on your trips. Again, thank you so much for these videos. I thoroughly enjoy them and look forward each one.

You ladies bring me such happiness, as I am a widow but do keep busy with stitching, watching flosstube, taking organ lessons for almost 5 yrs. Use to drive truck with my late husband and made 2 runs a week to Chicago or the town if Shamburgh to load motorcycles.

[susanmorris]

Thank you for your wonderful and creative video!! You always send good stitchy vibes our way and love every minute of it!! Laura have a good trip, and we'll see you both in a few weeks❤️

Beautiful…the outpouring of love over the two of you is beautiful, your friendship is beautiful, and your smiles are beautiful.

[deborahwatkins]

Best wishes for that last treatment. You are both still in my prayers. Enjoy your separate adventures and making buttons. Those fabric scraps are quite a special gift!! Will be looking forward to your next video. :-)

[stitchingincostume]

LOL... Sitting in a hotel room with fabric and stitching is my kind of living it up too! Brenda... I know you had a great time in Amana... It's on my bucket list! I can't wait to hear all about your trip. Love you ladies!

[catherinestiele]

You both are such a joy to watch. I enjoy watching all the love. Prayers for your treatment Brenda. Such great entertainment while I stitch.

Laura, when you were taking all the goodies out of your bag I was reminded of Mary Poppins and her magical bag.
Another great video.
Good luck Brenda on your last chemo. You are looking well. xx Anne in UK
