In Flosstube #15, Laura B from Mostly Crafty shares her latest cross-stitch progress from her home in Seattle, Washington. She begins by showing her only finish, 'Closely Kept No. 5' by The Shaded Stitchery, stitched on 32-count Watermelon linen from Tabby Cat Linen, using Classic Color Works Sunset thread. She notes she ran out of thread near the end and had to wait to finish it, and she also mentions how the design could work as a cover for the Modern Hoopla Journal class she took with Jandi at MidSummer Stitch.
