FlossTube #128 - New Tattoo, New Start, and Stitch-Con Excitement!

In this episode, I'm sharing a whirlwind of updates from the past two weeks, including a look at my brand-new tattoo (and the beautiful meaning behind it), a funny tale about a hair change that needed a quick "fix", and the pure excitement of getting ready for Stitch-Con this coming weekend. On the stitching front, we have a lot to look at. I've got progress on "Life at the Cottage" and "Museum After Midnight", a tiny bit of slow progress on "Cat Dragon House", and a brand-new start with "Quilting Fox" — because how could I resist starting with the fox? I also have a brand-new, D&D-inspired pattern in the shop called "Free Action" and would love to hear your thoughts on it. Some things I would love your feedback on: 🔸 What are your thoughts on my new D&D-inspired pattern, "Free Action" — and should I dive deeper into the tabletop gaming world for future designs? 🔸 Are any of you stitching along with "Museum After Midnight" or "Life at the Cottage" right now? I'd love to hear how you're finding them! 🔸 Let's talk project backs: are you a "neat and tidy" stitcher, or do you embrace a bit of beautiful chaos on the reverse side? 🔸 Have you ever tried the 'sewing method' for cross-stitch, or would you find a quick tutorial post helpful? Thank you so much for hanging out with me today. Your support means the absolute world, and I hope this episode gives you a pocket of calm and encouragement for your own stitching week. _____ I forgot to mention in the video: StitchKit is available for testing!
