Flosstube #11 | Two Small Finishes + Plans and WIP Progress

Summary AI

In this August update, Martin shares two small finishes, both intended as gifts: a Neopets-themed piece for a friend and a Houses and Humans pattern from Etsy for his D&D dungeon master, with the latter stitched on a sparkly fabric with the table left unstitched. He also discusses using Cross Stitch Meadows' Google Sheet inventory tracker to organise his DMC thread stash, noting his plans to pass on off-brand threads to friends new to cross-stitching. Progress updates cover his ongoing projects: the raven piece on 14-count fabric, the Zelda tapestry (focusing on Guardian fingers), and the Snow Queen, which has seen no progress. He also revisits several UFOs, deciding to restart a tea octopus project on new fabric from Oak Crown Studio, and redo a Thranduil piece on a different Oak Crown fabric, while considering a whale and lighthouse project on 28-count linen. The video ends with Martin noting his stitching habits and plans for future updates.
