FlossTube #35 - “T” WIP Parade

Summary AI

Carrie from the channel Stitching on the 40 presents episode 35 of her FlossTube series, an alphabetical “T” WIP parade showcasing eighteen active cross-stitch projects. The line-up ranges from small seasonal ornaments to enormous full-coverage charts, many of which are being stitched on fabrics she has hand-dyed herself. Carrie explains her unusual filing system, placing any design beginning with “The” under the letter T so she can keep track of them more easily. Throughout the parade Carrie shares touching personal stories behind several pieces. Temperature Butterflies is being stitched with 2022 temperature data as a thank-you for her niece who cared for Carrie’s mother during her final illness, while The Adventures of Alice and The Fifth Element are currently paused because they carry difficult memories. Other highlights include the twin-panel Library of Cats Supersized Max Color, a two-part Heaven and Earth Designs piece totalling over a million stitches, and the return of Trick or Treat Mini from UFO status after she saw another stitcher’s inspiring progress. Several of the projects are twin stitches with her friend Tammy, and Carrie notes that she hopes to buy a large Painting Fairy scroll frame to manage her biggest fabrics. She also outlines her upcoming video schedule, mentioning the final alphabet parades, a twin WIP parade, and a return to weekly updates. She briefly looks forward to resuming diamond painting and nail art once her home renovations are complete.
