FlossTube #78 - Framed Stitching On My Walls

Summary AI

Melissa, host of GeekyWitch, takes viewers through the framed cross stitch pieces hanging in her home as she prepares to pack them for a move. She begins with two inherited pieces: a crewel embroidery from her grandmother's friend, dated 1978, and an unsigned oriental poppy piece left by the previous owners of her house. She then shows several of her own stitched and framed works, including a class piece from Stitcher's Hideaway, a beaded blackwork piece, a journey piece stitched during a difficult time, and a collaborative round robin. She also shows a purchased model from a closing shop and finishes with her first framed piece, a Teresa Wentzler castle stitched on Aida cloth. Throughout, she shares memories and plans for reframing and hanging more pieces after the move.
