Flosstube #98 • The Seattle Stitcher

Summary AI

Megan, the host of The Seattle Stitcher, shares her recent stitching progress and life updates. She worked on several WIPs, including the Summer Bloom SAL by Everlace Samplers, which is over 70% complete, and a Riolis kit of Renoir's Bouquet of Roses, which she has been stitching using a Saga chart. She also shows progress on Teresa Kogut's Silhouettes, a Halloween-themed piece, and a Tiny Modernist pattern she is stitching on hand-dyed fabric. Megan discusses her love for Saga charts and encourages other designers to adopt them, and she mentions her no-buy pledge, though she admits to a small cheat by purchasing a PDF pattern.

• Summer Bloom SAL is over 70% done, with plans to omit the quote and add initials instead.
• Riolis' Le Serment d'Amour (Bouquet of Roses after Renoir) has made significant progress, from 4% to 11% in a couple of weeks, thanks to using a Saga chart.
• Teresa Kogut's Silhouettes is being stitched on 32ct Jackson Fabric Arts 'Burnt Sienna' fabric with Weeks Dye Works 'Guacamole' and Anchor floss; Megan is seeking a Saga chart for it.
• A Tiny Modernist pattern (possibly 'Halloween' or similar) is being stitched on hand-dyed 16ct Aida, with plans to adjust house colors for better contrast.
• Megan shares personal updates, including her daughter Amira's cheerleading, a new mom friend, and a scary incident where her son Malachi hit his head and needed ER treatment.
• She promotes her friend Victoria's (Everlace Samplers) Etsy shop and mentions a discount code for The Craft Paradise.
