A Flurry of FFOs, Bingo Goals Ticked Off and There's Always One... [Flosstube 74]

Summary AI

Cat, host of Catkin and Lillie, shares a busy episode focused on finishing and fully finishing objects (FFOs) as part of 'Just Do It June'. She shows four FFOs: Spring Quaker, Blooming Swan, a snarky piece from Cubicle Cross Stitches, and her first Hands on Design Ornament Club ornament, which she is particularly proud of. She also finishes Plaid Tidings, another Hands on Design ornament, and discusses her progress on various WIPs including Wonders of the James Webb Space Telescope, Gaia the Earth Goddess, Dragon Race Into the Night, The Fisher King, Love and Light, Ruskin's Penguins, Cabinet of Curiosities, Eye of Newt, and the Museum After Midnight SAL. She announces winners of her 16,000 subscriber giveaway, shows new stash including hoops and ribbons, and shares a random act of stitchy kindness involving Kreinik threads. She also discusses her bingo board goals, a new start on Stitch Together, and gives life updates including her garden and TV watching.

  • Four FFOs completed: Spring Quaker, Blooming Swan, a Cubicle Cross Stitches piece, and a Hands on Design ornament.
  • Finish of Plaid Tidings, another Hands on Design ornament, with plans for jazzy finishing.
  • Progress on many WIPs including Gaia the Earth Goddess beading and Ruskin's Penguins at 81%.
  • New start on Stitch Together by Tiny Modernist as a Patreon stitch-along.
  • Winners announced for the 16,000 subscriber giveaway.
  • Stitchy kindness: a package of Kreinik threads from a viewer.
