Emily, the Shady Grove Stitcher, shares two fully finished objects (FFOs) and one new finish, along with a new WIP. She starts with the Spring Quaker by Primrose Cottage, stitched on 40-count Oyster Shell from Fox and Rabbit using DMC 3740. She explains her finishing process, including using mat board as a spacer and finishing tape, and mentions she may add lace or cording. She then shows the Summer Quaker, also by Primrose Cottage, stitched on 40-count Melting Moments from Fox and Rabbit using DMC 680, and discusses color conversions by Colorado Cross Stitcher. She also presents Farmer Brown by Notforgotten Farm, stitched on 36-count Orphan Linen from Needle and Flax, with some personal color adjustments, and introduces Betty Brown, also by Notforgotten Farm, as her newest WIP on the same fabric. Emily shares random life updates about buying an electric toothbrush, a generator incident at a job site, and plans for a swimming pool. She ends with a police blotter segment.

Description from YouTube
Today’s all about spring and summer finishes and simple stitching joy!

My Spring Quaker and Summer Quaker are fully finished!  I’m also celebrating a brand-new finish with Farmer Brown, and taking a look at his counterpart, Betty Brown, as my newest WIP. Plus, I’ve got a very random collection of life updates (a toothbrush, a generator, and a swimming pool are somehow all related) and another round from the police blotter to wrap things up.
