Summary AI

Catharine returns to Flosstube after a two-month break, covering her May and June progress. She worked on 16 WIPs, four new starts, and one restart, and has made a major decision to stitch everything on 32-count fabric, one over one, using CXC threads, having fallen out of love with 25-count and two-over-two stitching. She shows each project, many of which are now being stitched in diagonals, a method she has adopted after watching Cross Stitch Meadows. She also discusses a large destash, including UFOing several projects and selling threads and charts on Vinted.

  • Restarted Dragon Clans on 32ct Easy Count Morano, one over one, and is much happier with the look.
  • Showed progress on Library of Cats, Disney, and Stranger Things, all stitched in diagonals.
  • Reached 70,000 stitches on Kirin and Bakeneko, now at 23.35%.
  • Bought four new HAED charts during a sale, including Catnap and Rose Talis, and started two of them.
  • Washed her Wedding Day finish after nearly 10 months and plans to take it to the framer.
  • UFOed several projects, including Vibrant Fusion and Antique Shop, and is selling threads and charts on Vinted.
