Thomi began by confessing that, despite her best intentions, she had abandoned her plan to start her new pattern this week and instead worked on five WIPs. She showed progress on Mirabilia’s Stargazer, Twin Peak Primitives’ Butterflies, Flowers and Letters, Modern Folk Embroidery’s Little Acorns, Bygon Stitches’ Quaker Virtues and Reflets de Soie’s Sampler d’Olga, discussing her hand-dyed fabrics and chosen threads along the way. She explained that her own design, Maple Queen, is fully charted but she could not begin because she was missing several central DMC colours. Thomi also praised the latest Markup RXP update and her Lowry stand for making stitching more comfortable. The video included personal reflections on autism, PTSD and monotropism, and how creative focus supports her mental wellbeing. Nessie the bird made regular appearances, including a scene where she was covered in cobwebs and needed a bath, and Thomi reminded viewers about a giveaway for subscribers.
