Summary AI

In this week's Flosstube video, host Mel shares her cross-stitch progress, having stitched on all nine of her projects and completed 4,400 stitches. She begins by showing a finished piece from an advent collection, which is now available to purchase, and explains her method of working through colours by stitching the one with the most stitches remaining, then the least, and so on. She also works on her temperature garden piece by Zahra Designs Studio, finishing May and starting June, though she admits she's not fussed about keeping it up to date.

  • Completed 4,400 stitches across all nine projects this week
  • Finished a piece from last year's advent collection, now available on the designer's website
  • Worked on the temperature garden by Zahra Designs Studio, finishing May and starting June
  • Wheel spins included Tangled Max, English Wildlife Huggables, Between the Past and the Future, and Dragon Love
  • Reached a row finish on Checking It Twice by Donna Gelsinger, with 1,600 stitches added
  • Mentions from other Flosstubers, including DM's Crafty Vortex and James the PH Stitcher
