Flosstube 23 - the shiny one!

Summary AI

Keeley from Cakes and Stitches returns after a five-to-six-week break with a packed Flosstube episode filmed on a hot June day in the UK. She starts by showing her finish: the Quick Quaker by Modern Folk Embroidery, which she stitched in colourful threads rather than the original monochrome, and admits she wasn't entirely happy with her colour choices but is glad to have it done. She then works through her stitching log, showing progress on her yearly Greyhound Year by The Blue Flower, Emerald City and Ready for Summer by Owl Forest Embroidery, Spring Dreams by Barbara Anna, and her Bella Filipina pieces Esmeralda and Greta Goldbroom, the latter started at the Bella Filipina retreat. She also shares a Povertulia owl bookmark kit, a Carolyn Manning tent maker small, Strawberry Bird by The Blue Flower, a new stained-glass peacock start called Melek by KLT Charting, a Luca S kit bought cheaply on Vinted, and her Caterpillar Cross Stitch British Isles Adventures SAL which she plans to stitch during England World Cup matches.

• Finish: Quick Quaker by Modern Folk Embroidery, stitched in colours rather than the original monochrome.
• Progress on yearly stitch Greyhound Year by The Blue Flower, with plans to at least finish the June dog.
• Started Greta Goldbroom by Bella Filipina at the retreat, using fabric from Coffee Craft Fabrics and a Nudge Q-Snap frame.
• New start: Melek by KLT Charting, a stained-glass peacock stitched in black lines first, with a plan to colour it in later.
• Bought a Luca S kit on Vinted for £5.50 and successfully obtained the PDF from the company for use in Pattern Keeper.
• Plans for Jolly July: stitching Christmas projects throughout July, possibly starting Tiny Modernist's 12 Days of Christmas.
