Description from YouTube
Take two! 🎬😅 After a new-mic fail, I’m re-recording this episode and catching you up on ALL the stitching!
I’m sharing my Big Brother and fall stitching progress, including two new starts—and one of them is a HUGE (and slightly terrifying 😳) 315,000-stitch HAED! 🧵 I’ll show you my new approach to full-coverage stitching and why I’m changing up my strategy.
I’m also sharing my progress on Lady of the Flag, which I made a priority this week in remembrance of September 11th. ❤️🇺🇸
Then there’s the HAUL! 🛍️✨ I picked up something extra special—a historical sampler kit complete with silks. There’s just one little problem…I “hate linen.” 😂 So naturally, I’m going to stitch it on linen. 👀 I’ll share why this particular sampler made me willing to reconsider!
And finally, Stitch West is coming! 🎉 I need your help with my table gifts. I’m thinking mini stockings, Utah chocolates, and custom floss drops. 🎁🍫🧵 Is it too much? Not enough? Just right? I need my stitchy friends to weigh in!
💬 Tell me in the comments: What are you stitching right now, and what do you think of my Stitch West table gift idea?
