Summary AI
In their first Flosstube episode, Australian friends Missy and Minnie introduce themselves as complete cross stitch novices who have 'all the gear and no idea'. They explain how they met through quilting workshops and recently became obsessed with cross stitch, starting with the Betsy Rose design by Beck from a quilt store in Newcastle. The pair share their first finishes, including a vintage Australian sampler found on Facebook Marketplace, a Stacy Nash pin keep, and a small anatomical alphabet piece by Heartstring Samplery. They also show their WIPs, which include the Blackbird Academy sew-along, a wedding sampler for a friend, and a Stacy Nash animal cracker project, and discuss their plans for upcoming retreats, including the Stacy Nash retreat and Harvest Moon.
