FlossTube #59: Lot of WIPs and a Wonky Ending

Summary AI

In FlossTube #59, Carla (The Crazy Cross Stitch Lady) shares a substantial stash update and works-in-progress roundup from her craft room. She begins with a shout-out to Kathy Haberman of Hands on Design, praising her finishing expertise and recommending her FlossTube channel and Patreon. She then introduces a new segment, 'Stash Star,' where she spotlights patterns from BAD Stitch, including a completed 'Birthday Corgi' and 'Pride Tea'.

  • Carla shows off finished Quick Quaker by Modern Folk Embroidery on pink Aida with a monochromatic gray palette and a blue bird.
  • She discusses her purple-themed WIPs, including Baldaquin Birdies mini and Blue Rhapsody (done in purple), both headed for her purple passion wall.
  • Winter Rose Manor by With Thy Needle and Thread gets a personal twist: both cardinals stitched red in memory of her father.
  • Carla shares details on Shelter Sampler by Lucy Beam Love in Stitches, noting her struggles and success with 36ct linen after getting new glasses.
  • She expresses frustration with fit issues on the Patriotic Band Sampler kit from Twin Peak Primitives, needing to omit elements to fit the fabric.
  • The video ends with a life update about her eye health, including cataracts and endothelial dystrophy, and a tip about giving yourself grace when stitching during hard times.
