JMDS FlossTube #317 | Going Rogue 🪡💗🦉 (WIPs, Books, and More Plans)

Summary AI

Jessie Marie returns with a FlossTube update covering the stitching she has done over the past couple of weeks, plus plans, books and a life update. She begins with administrative news, including the start of the new Great British Bake Off season and her cast list worksheet for the GBBO cross stitch game. She then shows several works in progress, including a large Heaven and Earth Designs piece stitched one over one in DMC 3799, and a finished piece dedicated to her Aunt Colleen, which she plans to frame with a book-related quote. Jessie explains that her rotation plans have changed and she is now 'going rogue', working on projects until burnout or finish rather than following a strict schedule. She also discusses her ideas for the GBBO stitch-along game, considering two different versions, one assigning stitch counts to each baker and another assigning projects to contestants. Later, she talks about the books she has recently finished, including 'Before I Let Go' by Kennedy Ryan and another book she describes as strange and set partly underwater, which she is about halfway through and reluctant to spoil. The video ends with a brief life update and a reminder of her plans for future videos.

{f a q} Frequently Asked Questions
What frame do you stitch on?
- I use a Millennium frame from NeedleNeeds in the U.K.

How do you film your videos?
- I use Final Cut Pro X (Mac) for filming and editing.

What are all of those threads hanging down from your HAED?
- I stitch full coverage using a technique called parking. I highly recommend tutorial videos from Carolyn Mazzeo to learn the technique. If you want to see more about how I do my diagonal blocks, see my full coverage demo playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi5s2tHW0BxM8SOzgrTCtJeM8O4FjFaTo
