Summary AI

In this Flosstube update, Elizabeth Martinez (also known as Beth) shares her stitching progress as she transitions from July into August. She begins by apologising for the abrupt ending of her previous video, explaining that the recording froze. She then recaps finishing off July with her WIPGO projects, including completing 'Dust of Snow' by Lindy Stitches and starting two new pieces: 'Midsummer Moth' by the same designer and a Bucilla kit called 'Butterfly Flowers' from Hobby Lobby. She also discusses her Cross Stitch Camp commitments, noting that her August piece is 'Glory in the Wind' by Robin Pickens Designs, which fits the camp's 'something new to you' prompt as she has never stitched this designer before. She shares her fabric selection challenges and her decision to fit both 'Stand Firm' and 'Glory in the Wind' on one piece of fabric.

  • Finished 'Dust of Snow' by Lindy Stitches and met the 7-day goal.
  • Started 'Midsummer Moth' by Lindy Stitches and the Bucilla kit 'Butterfly Flowers'.
  • Chose 'Glory in the Wind' by Robin Pickens Designs for August Cross Stitch Camp, a new-to-her designer.
  • Discussed fabric selection, including a Be Stitch Me fabric from Midsummer Stitch and a Moonlit Garden fabric.
  • Mentioned a DMC thread mix-up at the store and the challenge of finding ecru thread.
  • Plans to focus on 'Glory in the Wind' and 'Frost Bite' for the coming week.
