Summary AI

In this Flosstube episode, host Jess shares her weekly cross-stitch updates from her home in rural Kansas, starting with a new start on the Fat Quarter Shop's free mystery SAL 'Boo to You' on 28-count gray-blue Jobelan with Classic Colorworks floss. She then shows progress on her WIPs, including 'Book Dragon' by Needlelot Designs on hand-dyed 18-count Aida, and several blackwork SALs from The Steady Thread and Modern Folk Embroidery, noting the challenges of stitching on high-count fabric and the joy of small finishes.
