Karen Combs presents FlossTube 64, sharing a major finish of Shores of Hawk Run Hollow, which she personalised with numerous changes to memorialise family memories. She also discusses several ongoing projects, including Ann Watson by Hands Across the Sea, Martha Brady's Acorn Sampler, and a restart of Mary Bars on different linen. The video includes a detailed look at colour changes made to Land of the Free, plus a small haul of autumn-themed charts and threads.

  • Big finish: Shores of Hawk Run Hollow, with many personal changes and a detailed explanation of each modification.
  • Restart of Mary Bars on 40ct Nicolette by Tropical Stitches after colour concerns on the original linen.
  • Detailed colour changes for Land of the Free, adding red, white, and blue to the palette.
  • Progress on several Blackbird designs as part of the Blackbird Academy SAL.
  • Small autumn haul from With Thy Needle and Thread and other shops.
  • Tip for fixing long borders: start at the mistake and work downwards.
