September Vlogs Day 11 ~ Blackbird Designs Fall stitching & Pad Thai for dinner! 😋

Summary AI

In this September vlog, Tanya shares a slice of her midlife routine, starting with a candid chat about insomnia and grief. She explains her plan to stitch a new project from the Blackbird Designs booklet 'Winds of Autumn', inspired by a recent Flosstube video from Lisa (ElleSnapsAndStitch). Tanya shows the centre pumpkin she has started on natural linen, using an old purple paint thread that matches DMC 3371, and discusses her habit of buying fabric per project rather than keeping a large stash. She also reveals a plan to use an old quilt block from her late grandfather as backing fabric for the finished piece, and mentions needing to buy more thread due to a dye lot mismatch. The vlog ends with Tanya heading to bed, promising a combined weekend vlog.
