Summary AI

In Flosstube #81, Katie shares her excitement about packing for a week-long makers retreat in Shipshewana, Indiana. She explains that she had a slow stitching week, only managing 11 stitches on one project before feeling uninspired. However, she found new motivation by kitting up a Star Wars pattern from XCrossStitchDesigns on Etsy, which she started on 32ct Lambswool Jobelan. She fell in love with the project and managed 1,600 stitches in four days, using it to progress in the Thread Walker Saga challenge hosted by Wild Fox Stitchery.

  • Katie is heading to a week-long makers retreat in Shipshewana, Indiana, and packs 11 projects for a 5-day trip.
  • She starts a new Star Wars full-coverage piece by XCrossStitchDesigns on 32ct Lambswool Jobelan, stitching 1,600 stitches in four days.
  • She participates in the Thread Walker Saga challenge, rolling dice to determine stitch goals and defeating monsters.
  • She shows off her retreat packing, including a rolling sewing case, project bags, dice trays, and various stitching accessories.
  • She mentions upcoming challenges: the Monthly Magazine Challenge and ABC-Ingo, both starting in September.
  • She includes a cameo from her son Jeremiah, who says hi to the fans.
