She introduces new commemorative project bag panels for the Imagination and Emotion event and Swindon 2027, and gives a sneak peek at the Christmas 2026 project bag, explaining her construction techniques for a professional finish. Nicola also shows several samplers, including one she stitched in 2014 that will be featured in a New York exhibition, and a newly acquired Sophia Doggett sampler.
