Vonnie, host of Thread the Needle, shares a two-week stitching update at the end of August. She begins by discussing her new 'priority rotation' system, which has been successful in allowing her to focus on key projects like Batman and a commission piece. She details progress on several WIPs, including Anniversary, Sanctuary of Stitching, Bits and Bobbins, London, Ottoman Tiles, and June Glass, noting stitch counts and her enjoyment of the variety. Vonnie also mentions a small finish—a Batman keychain for her daughter—and introduces her new 'How I Stitch' series aimed at helping new stitchers. She concludes with monthly stitch totals and reflections on her stitching habits.
