Flosstube Update for June 2026

Summary AI

Amy from Renewing Stitches shares her June 2026 stitching update, filmed outside on a warm July morning. She presents two finishes: Beach Quaker by Georgia Girl Stitching, stitched on 14-count ice Aida from Hobby Lobby with a modified sand colour, and Heritage Sampler by Plum Street, completed on 40-count mocha Newcastle linen. She explains her plans for finishing both pieces, including a hoop finish with a verse for the first and framing for the county fair for the second.

Amy then shows several new starts, including Glory by Bent Creek, a 4th of July Sweetly Saying by Primrose Cottage, Sweet Sheep by xCounting the Starsx, Wishful Thinking by Long Dog Samplers, and Colonial Sampler #3 from a 1992 Cross Stitcher magazine. She also updates progress on her WIPs: Butterflies in Flowers by Durene Jones, Temperature Alphabets by StitchinMommy, and the Peppermint Purple and The Steady Thread 2026 SALs.

Looking ahead, Amy plans to start vintage Christmas ornaments from magazines and leaflets, including pieces from Marsha McKerr and Count on Cappy. She mentions a day retreat in July and shares non-stitching updates about her garden, a trip to Oklahoma, and her 26 in 26 reading challenge. She encourages viewers to check out her Flosstube friends and ends by wishing everyone happy stitching.
