Flosstube 32: April Update!

Summary AI

Alicia from Adventures of Stitching returns with her April progress update, sharing that her stitching bug is back after a slow period. She has reorganised her WIPs, cutting her active rotation down to 12 pieces, and is focusing on finishing her Mickey piece, Sweetheart Cove, a Thomas Kinkade design from Etsy. She reports hitting her goal of 6,000 stitches on it in April, bringing it to 90.61% complete, and discusses the confetti-heavy area she just finished.

Alicia also shares progress on several other projects, including a wheel spin on Cinderella Wishes Upon a Dream, a Disney Dreams kit from 2017, which she found challenging due to the blending filament. She shows updates on One Nation Under God by Twin Peak Primitives, Cozy Winter Evening mini by Heaven and Earth Designs, God Shed His Grace by Artecy, Anne of Green Gables QS MC, Gardener's Paradise mini, and the Arctic Animals 2024 mystery SAL from The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery. She explains a stitching method change on Gardener's Paradise, switching from two-over-one tent stitch to one-over-one full cross to reduce bulk, and encourages viewers to experiment with their own methods.

Alicia mentions a stitching buddy, Sarah from Lady Lugana, who is also stitching One Nation Under God, and notes her own goal has shifted to finishing it by the end of the year. She reflects on her total of over 11,000 stitches in April and outlines her plans for May, including continuing her focus on Mickey and completing parts six and seven of Arctic Animals. She also mentions upcoming travel back to Ohio and a BookTube video.
