FlossTube #77: Exceeded Expectations (10/2/2025)

Welcome to Episode 77 of the Curious Crafters FlossTube. We're two sisters who love handcrafting -- cross stitch, knitting, sewing, and quilting -- and figuring things out! 

In this episode we’re back from the Pacific Northwest Stitch Summit retreat and guess what? It exceeded our high expectations! Retreats are all about the people and we met many amazing stitchers! Ready to hear about our retreat experiences & vignettes, projects, and shared supplies? Let's Go! --Carolyn
