Description from YouTube
June was pretty epic with a HUGE amount of stitching including one finish, two more FFOs (Fully Finished Objects), and two new starts.
I'll share my thoughts on the dual needle method, update you on my WIP (Works In Progress), and show you the new full coverage pattern I bought...*must not start it 😶
