In Flosstube #63, Robin, known as The Generous Stitcher, shares a week of unexpected acquisitions and a bout of 'start-itis' that led her to begin five new projects. The video opens with her cat Willow interfering with an attempt to start a new piece, setting a playful tone. Robin discusses her progress on Henny Penny, which she hopes to finish soon, and details a visit to a neighbor's garage sale where she acquired a large unfinished cross-stitch project, quilting scraps, and various notions.

The expected acquisition is the 'Flowers Shall Grow' kit from Heartstring Samplery for the Harvest Moon Hangout class, which she unboxes, showing the coffin-shaped kit and its components. She also shares her other new starts, including 'Accident' by Lindy Stitches, 'Yet I Rise' by Ghost Boy Needle Arts, and 'Camping Bigfoot' by Sambrie Stitches, bringing her WIP total to a record 37.

Flosstube #63 Start-itis and Acquisitions, expected and unexpected

The video starts with a picture of Willow and me watching one of our favorite YouTube channels, The Missing Enigma (I was also stitching Henny Penny). 

Friday I went to a garage sale and discovered that my neighbor did cross stitch. I now have a new WIP to finish and for raffle at a future retreat. Plus I got a box of her quilting scraps that will be part of my PNWSS table gifts. The expected acquisition was highlighted in the unboxing of the Flowers Shall Grow kit from Heartstring Samplery for the Harvest Moon Hangout class. And I gave into the bane and joy of Start-itis. I started five projects in one week. Willow and Max add to the chaos. My WIP total is up to a record 37, but I expect to finish Henny Penny and Flowers Shall Grow by the end of PNWSS. The photo at the end is my fifth start, Camping Bigfoot by Sambrie Stitches on Lapin Loops 36 count linen, Pusher's Cerulean. An X File color perfect for a Bigfoot pattern!
