Emily C returns to Flosstube after a difficult year, sharing progress on several cross-stitch projects and asking viewers to vote on which finishes to frame first. She discusses her mental health struggles and how stitching has been a comfort, particularly with Carolyn Manning's 'Tree Tops' as an anxiety piece. She also shows new starts, including 'Ink Circles Cirrus' on hand-dyed fabric and 'Exampler Games Design Forgiveness' stitched with a friend, and reveals a custom-made bag from Story Stitchery. The video ends with a look at older finishes and a book recommendation for her upcoming trip to New Jersey.

  • Progress on Carolyn Manning's 'Tree Tops' with altered DMC colors
  • New start: 'Ink Circles Cirrus' on 36ct Woodland linen with hand-dyed threads
