Summary AI

In this episode, Coleen Lochabay films from her garage for the first time, explaining that her day was disrupted by rescuing feral kittens. She shows her simple workshop setup, including a laminated plywood table, a budget laser cutter, and a new CNC router that she uses to cut custom frames and shapes for her cross stitch finishes. She discusses her plan to draw a project from a jar each Friday to motivate herself to finish framing her backlog of stitched pieces.

Coleen shares several finished and in-progress framing projects, including pieces by Teresa Kogut, a Liberty finish from Shepherd's Bush, and Witchy Stitcher designs. She talks about repurposing thrifted frames and found objects, and shows a variety of frames she has collected for future projects. She also mentions a free pattern from Weeks Dye Works and Sam Sarah, and discusses her upcoming trip to Michigan for her grandmother's memorial.

Hi Everyone! We're out in the garage today! Due to a crazy week involving feral kittens and disrupted travel plans, I didn't get this edited and uploaded until today...so this is from last Sunday!
 
Flosstube #38—Out In the (hot) Garage - Episode 1!!

*I apologize for the car noises in the middle...I had to crack the garage door for a little breeze and we have teenagers that love to rev their engines, LOL*

Thank you as always for watching and joining me, for all the friendship and support you’ve given me, and as always, Happy Stitching!
