Sherry, the host of ColoradoCrossStitcher, shares a fall-themed episode covering finishes, new starts, and progress on various cross-stitch projects. She begins with a framed piece, the Christmas Eve Sampler by Jane Elliot, stitched on 25-count Lugana over one, and discusses her love for adding pops of color to black silhouettes. She then shows her August CrossStitch Camp finish: three small designs by Not Forgotten Farm (Pumpkin Pete, Owliver, and Tommy), finished as ovals in a pumpkin trio stand from Hobby Lobby, with magnets for easy interchangeability. Sherry also shares progress on Beach Quaker by Primrose Cottage, Boon's Birthday Bird Sampler by The Artsy Housewife, Harriet Holtby by The Scarlet Letter (an exclusive for her shop), and a colorful piece by Jed Crossstitch featuring a yellow canary. She discusses the difference between stitching with silks versus hand-dyed threads, offering tips on variegated stitching techniques.
