In Flosstube #14, Sally (Flossy Sews and Grows) catches up after a busy month, explaining that work, allotment weeding, and a wedding have disrupted her stitching routine. She shares two finishes: Midnight Jack from Punch Needle & Primitive Stitcher and Spring from the Seasons of the Heart series by Gina McGow at The Blue Flower, both stitched on 40-count mystery fabric. She also shows progress on several WIPs, including Peacock Manor, Teresa Kogut's Remember Me, A Honey of a Tiny Town, and Blackbird designs, and discusses her plans to finish more pieces by the end of May.

Sally talks about her new starts, including Peacock Manor by Laurie Pangelli and Remember Me by Teresa Kogut, the latter stitched in memory of her father and mother-in-law. She also mentions hosting the Mighty Acorn SAL with Kate (Crafti Kate) and participating in the Seasonal SAL with Lynn (Lancashire Stitcher). She shares a large stash haul, including fabrics from Sew It Did Nantwich, floss drops from Charlie Feathers, and charts bought from stash unloads, such as Winter Rose Manor and a Stacy Nash design.

Sally also discusses her health, revealing she was diagnosed with anaemia and has been taking iron tablets, which have significantly improved her energy levels. She talks about her love of colour substitutions and creativity in stitching, inspired by Laney Main on Instagram. She ends by encouraging viewers to subscribe and mentions her plans to focus on finishing WIPs before starting new projects.
