Janine McGowan, the designer behind The Blue Flower, welcomes viewers to her Flosstube from northern Nevada. She shares three finishes from Thressa: 'Festive Flicker', 'Christmas Kestrel', and 'A Wisdom of Wombats', all stitched on 18ct Aida using DMC. She praises Jillian, a new stitcher, for her 'Trunk Town Spring' drum finish, and admires Dale's 'Sand Dollar Pincushion' with its beach-shell embellishment. Janine notes she is close to finishing her model stitch and hopes to work on the Dunkel Memorial Sampler next.
