Summary AI

In this mid-August flosstube update, Helen D. shares a busy couple of weeks that included camp with family and friends, where she picked up a finished piece from Donna. She shows two fully finished pieces: a framed fall folk dragon design on 16-count fabric, and a piece on an older fabric that she finished herself. She also discusses her one UFO, a fall-themed piece she's working on to finish before autumn, and shares several new starts, including a Satsuma Street design and a gift stitch. Helen talks about her recent orders, including fabric from Scarlet Sky Designs and a new Cotton & Twine subscription box featuring a Hands on Design chart, and mentions signing up for the Fellowship of the Floss virtual retreat with charts by Stitching Coven. She also plans to film more designer spotlight videos and discusses the Needle Work Marketplace, highlighting new designers and a tomato template from The New England Stitcher that works for a pumpkin chart by Needle & Moss.
