Summary AI

Cat from Catkin and Lillie starts by sharing new Modern Folk Embroidery releases, highlighting 'All the Time in the World' which she plans to stitch for her 25th wedding anniversary in September. She then shows a quick finish of 'Hark How the Bells' by Hands On Design and three framed finishes: a Bothy Threads chameleon kit, the Clouds Factory 'Stitcher's Book Club' SAL, and 'Stitching Rules' by Primrose Cottage Stitches, which she stitched as a Patreon SAL.

  • Cat shows three framed finishes and one quick finish, including a chameleon kit and a book-themed SAL.
  • She discusses her WIPs, noting a mix of large and small projects, and shares progress on several Christmas pieces.
  • New stash includes a 123 Stitch order, Mill Hill kits, a crab charm, and various needles.
  • Plans include finishing several projects, starting a book-themed piece for a friend's birthday, and an owl project.
  • Cat announces a Christmas in July sale for her own patterns and a sneak peek at a free pattern for Patreon members.
Description from YouTube
I'm starting this episode off strong with a spot of enabling for Modern Folk Embroidery, a finish, and three fab framed finishes.
Then we walk through the WIPs I've worked on in the past two weeks and I notice there are a lot of animals in there!
I have some lovely new stash and many many plans 😂
