The Peculiar Pisces presents her weekly flosstube update, covering the final week of June and the start of July 2026. She begins by showing progress on her June projects, including the Mirabilia August Peridot Fairy, which is nearing completion, and reveals her first finish of the year: the Orchid Blackwork pattern by Loose Thread Stitchery, stitched on hand-dyed 18ct Aida. She also discusses progress on Nene Thomas's Waterfalls of Jade and the Dimensions Indian Peacock kit, along with her monthly birthday start, a Heaven and Earth Designs freebie called Venus.

  • August Peridot Fairy by Mirabilia is close to completion, with only backstitch and beading remaining.
  • Plans to start the 2023 Steady Thread botanical stitch-along next month, with a honeycomb layout and drop shadows.
  • Temperature projects for the week included the granny square blanket, peacock printed cross stitch, butterfly printed cross stitch, and purple landscape.
  • Entering multiple pieces in the county and state fairs, including the blackwork finish and a hummingbird piece.
  • Switching to July projects: Lavender and Lace's Lady of the Thread, Dutch Beauty Sampler, Chatelaine's Misty Morning Vineyard, and Plaid Bucilla's Four Seasons.
