Summary AI
Charlie Feathers is back after a five-week break, recording from the woods in Cornwall, UK, where she lives. She shares a large number of finishes, works in progress, and hauls, reflecting on her love of nature and her busy life as a stay-at-home mom of two. She is grateful for shout-outs from fellow Flosstubers and updates on her small business, Charlie Feathers, which sells hand-dyed jelly-printed floss drops and ring bling.
Charlie shows three finished objects: Strawberry House by Little House Needleworks, a monthly freebie from Stitching Cabin, and Orchard Cottage, a small kit finished as a pillow. She then works through a long list of WIPs, including several stitch-alongs: The Steady Thread blackwork SAL, Home is Where the Heart Is by Historical Sampler Company, Welcome to the Forest by Country Cottage Needleworks, and At One with the Sun by Magnolia Nest Designs. She also shows Miss Scissors by Barbara Ana Designs and a Nitka Moscow kit, plus two designs by Yasmins Made with Love: Love Makes Everything Easy and Strawberry Season.
In her haul, Charlie shares new acquisitions: Peter Rabbit kits from A2V Brands, a Pansy Patch Quilts and Stitchery chart, Pippin Chip bobbins, a vintage Cross Stitch Gold magazine, and a 1993 pattern called Roses for Emily. She also mentions a new discovery of Roland Designs, which offers vintage floral cross stitch patterns. Stitchy kindness from friends includes a Spring Awakens chart from Summerhouse Stitch Works and hand-painted floss drops from Stitchy Squirrels.
The video ends with exciting news: Charlie has been asked to be a model stitcher for Yasmins Made with Love, a designer she considers a close friend. She is halfway through the first of three patterns and expresses heartfelt gratitude for the stitching community. She also hints at future plans, including filming stitch-with-me videos and attending Stitch in London.
