Summary AI

In this episode, Mel shares her stitching progress for the week, covering eight projects and 3,550 stitches. She starts with her two 'focus on a finish' pieces: a new start on Black Cat Christmas Tree by Pixel Aura Designs, and Mr. Grinch by The Cross Stitch Studio, which is now at 38.58% complete. She then discusses her wheel spins, including a frustrating mistake on Little Booze by Dragon Muse, which she will need to restart due to a counting error. Other projects include Ying Yang Day and Night, Dragon Love, Celestial Fantasy, Dragon Pile, and What Cookie. She also announces the winner of her birthday new start vote, which was Buttercup by Anna Baldina, and mentions several flosstubers who have given her shout-outs.

  • Mel made a counting mistake on Little Booze and will need to restart it on new fabric.
  • Black Cat Christmas Tree is a new start, already at 5.86% complete.
  • Mr. Grinch is at 38.58% and she completed two more colors this week.
  • Buttercup won the vote for her birthday new start, with 28 votes.
  • She is eyeing the Fairy Tale quick stitch from HAED, inspired by Stitching Noni's progress.
  • She received a generous gift of two patterns (leopard and panther) from a viewer.
