FlossTube #307: Delayed, Not Denied

Summary AI

Jessie Marie Does Stuff returns with a FlossTube update after a longer-than-expected break, covering her April statistics, works in progress, and plans for the coming week. She begins by sharing her April stats: 20,503 stitches across nine projects, with no new starts or finishes, leaving her WIP count at 99. She then introduces her new start, Kaleena (Max Color) by Heaven and Earth Designs, a birthday start for Margaret Morales May, and discusses her organisation methods, including using coloured pencil cases to store DMC threads and a 3D-printed holder for her thread organisers.

  • April stats: 20,503 stitches, best month of the year, with 29 stitching days and nine projects worked on.
  • New start: Kaleena (Max Color) by HAED, artwork by Margaret Morales, stitched on 25ct fabric one over one.
  • Organisation tips: using coloured pencil cases for DMC storage and a 3D-printed holder for thread organisers.
  • Progress on Haunted House, Cherry Blossom Breezes, Summer Montage, and April, with April surpassing 50% complete.
  • Plans for the week: 2,500 stitches on April, then Touching the Autumn Sky and Over the River from the wheel.
  • Life update: a trip to Las Vegas for a construction expo, including excursions to Red Rock Canyon and Valley of Fire, plus her daughter's first stitching attempts.

{f a q} Frequently Asked Questions
What frame do you stitch on?
- I use a Millennium frame from NeedleNeeds in the U.K.

How do you film your videos?
- I use Final Cut Pro X (Mac) for filming and editing.

What are all of those threads hanging down from your HAED?
- I stitch full coverage using a technique called parking. I highly recommend tutorial videos from Carolyn Mazzeo to learn the technique. If you want to see more about how I do my diagonal blocks, see my full coverage demo playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi5s2tHW0BxM8SOzgrTCtJeM8O4FjFaTo
