Summary AI

Kristen (CowStitcher) and her friend Darlinda return to Flosstube after a three-month break, sharing a large number of fully finished pieces (FFOs), works in progress (WIPs), and recent hauls. Kristen shows several finishes including 'Netti's Sewing Basket' by With Thy Needle and Thread, 'We Are Blessed' by Teresa Kogut, 'Stitch Spool' by Janette Douglas, 'Fla' and 'Home of a Stitcher' by The Scarlet House, 'Henrietta' by Stacy Nash, 'Play Ball' by Stitching with the Housewives, and the large 'Every Opening Flower' by Brenda Gervais, which she finished at the Stitch New Jersey retreat. Darlinda also shows her finishes, including 'Parade Sam' by Not Forgotten Farm and a framed 'Every Opening Flower' stitched on 36ct Dolly Madison by Needle and Flax, plus a framed 'Winter Rose Manor' by Brenda Gervais.

The pair discuss several stitch-alongs, including 'Hometown' by Teresa Kogut and 'America 250' by Plum Street, and show their progress. Darlinda talks about her plans to become more disciplined, referencing the 'BS wheel' from Just Keep Stitching and WIPGO, and mentions wanting to start large projects like 'A Peacock, a Unicorn, a Badger' by The Scarlet Letter, 'Repeat the Sounding Joy' by Kathy Barrick, and 'This Happy Morning' by Plum Street. Kristen shows her WIPs including 'Hey Jack' by Hands on Design, 'Autumn Garden' by The Scarlet House, 'Stay True' by Brenda Gervais, 'Lily' by Stacy Nash, and 'America the Beautiful' by Teresa Kogut.

They also share a haul from the Stitch New Jersey retreat, including a 'Coming to America' kit by Brenda Gervais, fabric from Color and Cotton, new Brenda Gervais charts, and other finds. Darlinda shows her handmade project bags, some of which will be available on her destash Instagram. The video ends with two giveaways: a 'Colonial Christmas' chart by Tina Waltman of Early Workings from Liberty Hill Needle Works, and a chicken-themed project bag from Darlinda.
