In this Flosstube episode, I share three new cross-stitch starts, two new Stitch-Alongs (Mid-Summer Start hosted by @Handmadebysarahw and @sarahsstitchery and my birthday SAL, Just Winging It SAL) and a few WIPs I've been working on since my last Flosstube. 

I also talk about the Midsummer Stitch Retreat that was hosted by @lindystitches and share some cross-stitch haul I got from the retreat. Finally, I share two of my favorite patterns from the upcoming Needlework Marketplace show.
