Flosstube Ep. 6: The One Where We're Just Winging It

Summary AI

Kelsey Ward, host of October Cove Stitches, records her sixth Flosstube episode on the day her eldest child starts kindergarten, using stitching as a distraction. She presents a variety of fully finished objects (FFOs), including a Summer Berries pillow with a repurposed baby onesie backing, a wedding-themed freebie from Crocette a Go Go, and several ornaments, notably a large Flower Fairy ornament and matching Pokémon-themed ornaments for her children. She also discusses her works in progress, including the Woodland Whimsy Sampler, where she encountered a miscounting issue, and shares her plans for upcoming projects in September, such as the 'O Death' sampler and a piece to commemorate her 10-year stitching anniversary.
