Summary AI

In this episode of Flosstube, Leigh McDonald shares her weekly cross-stitch updates from New Zealand, discussing her recovery from an Achilles injury and her plans for the day. She talks about a recent stitchy gathering where she contributed to the venue fund by selling some charts, and she acquired a few new ones, including a Heartstring Samplery stitch mat and needle book, a Janette Douglas pineapple biscornu, and a chart from Dorothy that she loves for its quirky backwards elements.

  • Leigh is back after a vacation and shares updates on her Achilles tendon recovery.
  • She shows progress on her Leap Year SAL piece, Women in Profile, focusing on confetti stitching.
  • She works on Entrelacs Bleus with a friend, using called-for AVAS silks on 36ct Brenda's Brew.
  • She stitches on Brigid during a stitchy catch-up, using three strands of DMC on 14ct Aida.
  • She plans to start a new project, Harvest Keeper by Plum Street Samplers, for September.
  • She mentions a potential 'year of biscornu' for 2027.
