Summary AI

In this weekly Flosstube update, the host shares her stitching progress during a particularly intense work week. She begins by showing the Spring Sampler, a kit stitched on 16 count Aida with DMC floss, where she has completed all cross stitching and back stitching. She explains that she chose to skip most of the French knots on the flowers as the difference was barely noticeable, and she is pleased with how the piece is coming together. She has now moved on to a smaller companion piece, working tent stitches and planning to stitch all the pieces before cutting them out, though she is still deciding on the finishing method.

• Finished all cross stitching and back stitching on the Spring Sampler, with French knots only on a couple of flowers.
• Started the smaller companion piece, working tent stitches and planning to stitch all pieces before cutting them out.
• Made a little progress on the Heaven and Earth Designs stitch along 'Whisper Wishes', working diagonal over four with CXC floss.
• Ordered hand-dyed floss from an Australian Etsy store, treating herself after a rough summer, and is excited for future projects.
• Planning to start 'Death by Cross Stitch' by Long Dog Samplers and is considering 'Dark Snow White' as a new start.
• Aiming to finish the Spring Sampler, Lady Alexandra, and the Christmas Tree this year as part of her WIP-down goals.
