Summary AI

In this Flosstube Extra episode, Kat welcomes her mum back to the channel to showcase a packed schedule of stitching. Mum presents two finishes, four fully finished objects (FFOs), four works in progress (WIPs), and some new stash. The episode is a relaxed chat between the two, with Kat helping to display the pieces and offering commentary on the designs and techniques.

  • Mum shows two finishes: Four Seasons by Emma Congden and The Reindeer by Cottage Garden Samplings.
  • Four framed FFOs are revealed: Winding River and Atlantic Shores by Pigeon Coop Designs, Frosty Tiny Town by Heart in Hand Needleart, and the Dolls House by Pako.
  • WIPs include a Dimensions Gold Collection wolf, Bothy Threads' There's Snow Place Like Home, a Winter Deer pattern by NARAxStitchPatterns, and Little Acorns by Modern Folk Embroidery.
  • New stash includes the spring kit from Bothy Threads (formerly Derwent Water Designs), a Durene Jones design from World of Cross Stitching magazine, and a Heritage Crafts kit won at a prize draw.
  • Mum plans to focus on Little Acorns and start the spring kit next, while the wolf may wait until winter.
  • The episode ends with a light-hearted discussion about stitching plans and a promise to return with more finishes.
