Summary AI
Jessie Marie returns with a FlossTube update after a few weeks away, explaining that a failed recording attempt and various interruptions delayed the video. The main event is the completion of Autumn Fairy by Shadow Lane Designs, a project started in January 2016 and finished after 3,811 days, though it only took about 30 stitching days. She discusses the beading, the substituted crystal heart, and her decision to skip the tree from the design. She then shows progress on ten full-coverage pieces, including Snow Castle, Alice in a Dali Dream, Avarice, Cherry Blossom Breezes, Ivory Crow, Kaleena, The Things We Bury, Over the River, Little Wings, and April, with details on stitch counts, page finishes, and rotation wheel adjustments. She also shares May statistics, including 20,825 stitches and a new tracker system, and spins her wheel for upcoming plans, which includes a Milestone Manor dice roll and opening a new room envelope.
