Flosstube episode 1 : an introduction, Nantucket School of Needlery, WIPS, favorite new notion

Thank you for joining me today, at my first FlossTube!

I will give you an introduction to my stitching journey, which started when I was a teenager, many years ago.  We will look at my home study course from the Nantucket School of Needlery from many (many, many!) years ago, look at some of my WIPS (works in progress), finally, we will look at one of favorite notions since I have returned to cross stitching.

Thank you for joining me on my stitching journey, I hope you will sit back, relax and stitch as we visit together.
