Summary AI

In her first Flosstube video, Jen from Gen X Stitches introduces herself and shares a WIP parade. She explains that she started cross stitching about two years ago as a way to keep her hands busy while recovering from surgery, and discovered the Flosstube community through YouTube tutorials. She lives in southeast Illinois, near St. Louis, Missouri, and works full-time in the financial industry. She also introduces her family and pets, including her German Shepherd Greta and two black cats, Stevie and Nelson.

Jen introduces herself and explains how she got into cross stitching.
She shows three finishes, including her first ever finish, Crab Dance by Tiny Modern.
She presents a WIP parade of 14 current projects, including Sir Thomas by Glendon Place and Witches Hollow by Autumn Lane Stitchery.
Jen mentions being in three fabric of the month clubs, including Atomic Ranch and B Stitch Me.
She shares her plans for future videos, including a pattern parade and a fully kitted parade.
Her cat Stevie makes a guest appearance during the video.
