Summary AI

Elizabeth Martinez, known as Phantastitches, returns with Flosstube Update #444, recorded on Saturday, July 25th, 2026. She shares two finishes for July: the Beaver, number 11 in the Cottage Garden Samplings 'A Year in the Woods' series, and her July Cross Stitch Camp piece, which she stitched for the US semicentennial (1776-2026) on 36-count fabric from B Stitch Me. She also discusses her WIPs, including Dust of Snow by Stephanie Webb of Lindy Stitches, and introduces her new starts for August: a Bucilla butterfly kit (dyed to a light green), Midsummer Moth by Lindy Stitches, a Nativity Scene by Tiny Modernist, and Bunny's House by Emily Call Stitching. She mentions WIPGO numbers for August (19 and 23) and her goal of stitching for seven days on each project. The video ends abruptly due to computer issues, and she apologises for the abrupt ending.
