Christmas in July Week 3 Podcast Flosstube 76

Summary AI

In this week three Christmas in July podcast, Holly from My Daily Homecrafts shares progress on her festive stitching projects. She begins with the Mill Hill Cosy Cabin kit, noting the challenge of changing needles and the fiddly nature of stitching on perforated paper, but overall enjoying the process. She then updates on Christmas Scene - Santa and Animals, charted by Charting Creations, which is now 21.01% complete, though she mentions the fabric back is getting dirty and she's hesitant to wash it. Finally, she shows Mini Serenity Lane by HAED, stitched on 28 count evenweave, and expresses slight disappointment that the colours appear murkier than the mockup. She also mentions working on a canal boat blanket but doesn't show it. Holly plans to continue her Wednesday videos and give a Christmas in July update next week instead of a separate end-of-month video.

  • Holly shares progress on three Christmas-themed projects: Mill Hill Cosy Cabin, Christmas Scene - Santa and Animals, and Mini Serenity Lane.
  • She bought a pack of 30 needles to avoid constantly changing needles on the Mill Hill kit.
  • Christmas Scene is 21.01% complete, stitched one over one on 22 count hardanger.
  • Mini Serenity Lane is 19.17% complete, stitched two over one half stitch on 28 count evenweave.
  • Holly notes the HAED mockup is lighter than the actual stitching, which she finds slightly disappointing.
  • She plans to continue with Wednesday videos and give a Christmas in July update next week.
