Janine McGowan, the designer behind The Blue Flower, hosts Flosstube 135, themed around pollinators. She begins by explaining that she is filming early due to a meet-and-greet with a desert tortoise for the Jingle Ball Entertainment video. She shares a finish of her own design, 'In Praise Of Pollinators', stitched by Amy on 18-count Lunar fabric from Forbidden Fibers, and discusses her busy schedule preparing for the Jingle Ball class, which has left little time for personal stitching. The video also features a stash spotlight on novelty roadrunner scissors, a 'World Around' segment about lavender, and a giveaway of a chart called 'Pollinators Garden' by October House Fiber Arts.
