▶ Watch on YouTubeCoffee Break! A decision parade not a WIP parade
Summary AI
In this coffee-break episode, Vicky from StitchNButton continues her 'decision parade' rather than a traditional WIP parade, working through her hibernated stitching projects to decide what to keep, what to set aside, and what to finish. She opens her large zipped project bag, which holds her hibernated pieces like files, and explains her process of evaluating each project based on her current stitching mood and goals. She discusses several pieces, including a Meridian Designs chart, a mermaid project by Barbara Bats, and a dragonfly piece, sharing her reasons for stalling on some and her plans to revisit others. She also highlights projects she's keeping out, such as 'Seeds of Freedom' by Silver Creek Samplers, a Bella Filipina piece, and 'Coffee Addiction' by Stitching Jewels, which she's stitching on 22-count oatmeal Aida with DMC 3371. Throughout, she talks about fabric choices, thread substitutions, and her intentions to finish specific blocks or motifs, while also mentioning a friend who may want a chart she's decided to part with. The video is a relaxed, chatty session where she makes decisions out loud, aiming to streamline her stitching list and focus on what truly calls to her.
