JMDS FlossTube #309: A Major Finish and Minor Adjustments

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.

  • Autumn Fairy by Shadow Lane Designs is finished after 10.5 years, with 570 beads and a substituted crystal heart.
  • Snow Castle gets 449 stitches, bringing the total to 77,500.
  • Alice in a Dali Dream reaches 19,000 stitches (7.55%) and the top of the first melting clock appears.
  • Avarice reaches shrinking diagonals and 21,500 stitches (14.03%).
  • Little Wings gets a page finish and is taken off the wheel for the rest of the year.
  • April reaches 85,000 stitches (54.43%) with 32,444 stitches this year.
  • May stats: 20,825 stitches, 31 stitching days, one new start (Kaleena) and one finish (Touching the Autumn Sky).
  • Wheel spins result in Alice in a Dali Dream, Summer Montage (twice), and Milestone Manor, which opens the laundry room envelope revealing Ivory Crow.

{f a q} Frequently Asked Questions
What frame do you stitch on?
- I use a Millennium frame from NeedleNeeds in the U.K.

How do you film your videos?
- I use Final Cut Pro X (Mac) for filming and editing.

What are all of those threads hanging down from your HAED?
- I stitch full coverage using a technique called parking. I highly recommend tutorial videos from Carolyn Mazzeo to learn the technique. If you want to see more about how I do my diagonal blocks, see my full coverage demo playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi5s2tHW0BxM8SOzgrTCtJeM8O4FjFaTo
