Flosstube #4 - Update June and July, so a long one. Again...

Summary AI

In this long-awaited Flosstube episode, Ellis (Honeybstitcher) catches up on two months of stitching, covering June and July. She begins by announcing the winners of her previous giveaway, Martina and Eldie, and thanks viewers for their support during her health struggles. She then presents a comprehensive review of her WIPs, new starts, and restarts, explaining that she has been busy with family matters and heatwaves in the Netherlands, which affected her stitching time.

Ellis shows a wide variety of projects, including the Alice in Wonderland SAL by Owl Forest Embroidery, which she has restarted after UFOing it, and Sabrina by Mirabilia, a new start on 28ct Lugana. She also discusses stitching Santa's Sleigh by Nora Corbett with Debbie from Creatively Yours, and shares a thoughtful gift from a non-stitching friend: a small tapestry chart from a museum in Madrid. Other projects include the Language of Flowers biscornu by Atelier Pin and Needle, Carnation Canaries by Modern Folk Embroidery, and a restart of the Magnolia kit by Maia, which she originally started six years ago.

Ellis also talks about her focus piece, Deer Creek by Heaven and Earth Designs, and another full coverage, Sea of Prayers by Tilton Crafts. She shares her progress on Let Love Rain by Teresa Kogut, a Strawberry chart by Wonderstitch UA, and a retreat project called Welcome by Vintage Tulip Designs. She explains her goal to finish 63 projects this year to celebrate her 63rd birthday, which has led to many new starts. She also mentions a sentimental project: a 45-year-old chart she is recreating digitally using WinStitch and Pattern Keeper, and a new start, Drawing Hands by Heaven and Earth Designs, in memory of her father.

Throughout the video, Ellis shows her project bags, many made by Diane from Frock and Fudge, and mentions other flosstubers and Instagrammers. She apologises for the video possibly playing backwards again and promises a special surprise video soon, with a regular monthly schedule going forward.
