Description from YouTube
Welcome! How about some hot colors! As summer transitions into fall, I have never understood the saying that summer fades. I think it goes out in a wash of purple and gold. Colors for today’s projects, both the silk conversion for Butterflies, Flowers and Letters by Twin Peak Primitives and the dyes I used on the fabric for my new pattern Maple Queen lean into the seasonal overlap.

You’ve landed on a FlossTube video, where I focus on cross stitch, my pattern design journey and arty opinions. I also discuss mental health and living with invisible disability and how creativity can be a tool for coping and joy.
