Flosstube 164: Stitching Update and New Cross Stitch Book Flip-Thru

Summary AI

Beth, the Steadfast Stitcher, shares a light weekly stitching update, starting with her progress on 'Pumpkin Colored Autumn' by Owl Forest Embroidery, which is at 95% and nearly finished. She also shows a bit of work on a Carolyn Manning sampler, which she's stitching on 28-count Easy Grid, and mentions completing 250 stitches on a full-coverage piece for the 'Stitches So Beautiful' challenge, though she forgot to post it in time. Her new start is Missa Creations' 'Blueberry Stitches', a small two-colour design stitched one-over-one on 25-count potato lugana, where she accidentally swapped the colours but plans to keep it as is. She then outlines her weekend plans to start two new patterns: Praiseworthy Stitches' 'Simple Gifts Peace' (using the colours from 'Simple Gifts Grace') and Primrose Cottage Needleworks' 'Christmas Quaker' in DMC 115, with a possible 'Autumn Quaker' start in Weeks Dye Works' Cognac. The main feature is a flip-through of the new book 'Cross Stitch from the Dark Ages' by Lindsay Swearingen, which includes gothic and medieval designs like a dragon, a winged ghost, and a harpy, and she's hosting a giveaway for the book, asking viewers to comment with the word 'rodent' to enter.
