Summary AI

In this episode, Julie from Stitching By The Numbers shares the impact of the recent Spokane wildfires on her community, noting that while she and her family were safe, many homes were lost. She discusses her plans to demonstrate cross-stitch at the Spokane County Interstate Fair in September and shows a thrifted frame she plans to use for a future project.

Julie presents several WIPs and finishes, including a Blackbird Designs piece she plans to re-finish, a Prairie Schooler finish that won a blue ribbon, and a Jane Eyre SAL piece. She also talks about her participation in various stitch-alongs, such as the Modern Folk Embroidery Fast Fusion SAL and the Blackbird Designs Academy SAL, and shares her progress on other projects like Little Acorns and Emaline Purnell.

The episode includes a small haul, featuring a $5 thrift store frame and a $7 woven basket from WinCo, and outlines her upcoming plans, including a beach retreat at Acorns and Threads in Cannon Beach and a trip to Montana. She also gives a shout-out to Rose from Untwist Your Stitches.
