Flosstube 110: Making Arbitrary Decisions

Summary AI

Kate and Cheryl, the hosts of Fickle Stitches, record their 110th flosstube episode on August 19, 2026. They begin by addressing feedback from a previous question about finished pieces displayed on walls, noting that Cheryl still has zero framed pieces. They mention that tickets for the Harvest Moon Hangout online retreat, organised by Lindy Stitches, are now on sale, and they plan to attend. Cheryl reveals a finish for the Canada Chats Smalls Exchange, though it is blocked on camera for secrecy, while Kate starts a new project called Autumn Town by NARAxStitchPatterns, influenced by fellow flosstubers, stitching it on 16ct Icelandic blue fabric with DMC threads.

  • Cheryl finishes her mystery project for the Canada Chats Smalls Exchange, but keeps it hidden on camera with a block.
  • Kate starts Autumn Town by NARAxStitchPatterns, influenced by Pam from Just Keep Stitchin' and others, on 16ct Icelandic blue fabric.
  • Kate shows progress on several WIPs, including Seabright Day by Paine Free Crafts, Potions and Spells by Autumn Lane Stitchery, and The Shores of Hawk Run Hollow by Carriage House Samplings.
  • Cheryl shares her WIP, The Sea View of Cliffs by Better Cross Stitch, and discusses her struggle with motivation due to illness.
  • Both hosts discuss their plans for September, with Kate coining 'Selfish September' and Cheryl seeking name suggestions for her themed month of stitching Little House Needle Works' Hometown Holiday series.
  • They mention a haul from BeStitched Me's ready-to-ship sale, including fabric for Cemetery Stroll by Witches Garden Crafts.
