I’m Finally Giving My Full Coverage Pieces Some Love! - Flosstube #8

Summary AI

In this episode of her stitching diary, Melanie Makin Makes shares her progress on several full coverage cross-stitch projects over a week in August 2026. She begins by updating her Blossoms and Sweet Dreams stitch-along, which she works on diagonally, and notes her enjoyment of this approach. She also works on her Floral Fusion Bumblebees piece from Gecko Rouge, adding stitches to the background, and catches up on her Fast Friesian SAL from Modern Folk Embroidery, which she is stitching on 36-count evenweave fabric.

• Melanie works on multiple full coverage pieces, including Blossoms and Sweet Dreams, Floral Fusion Bumblebees, Library of Cats, and Fast Friesian.
• She reaches 1% completion on Blossoms and Sweet Dreams, a stitch-along with Siski Stitching Noni and Stitching with Jessie.
• She experiments with diagonal stitching on her full coverage pieces and finds it more enjoyable.
• She catches up on her Fast Friesian SAL after falling behind, but has to frog part of a bird motif.

• She plans to continue with her full coverage pieces and possibly add a non-full coverage project next week.
