Thank you so much for tuning in to the Cozyegg flosstube/podcast! In this episode I share two finishes, WIPs, and some gifts. Music by: BenSound.

Finishes

Lammas by The Primitive Hare – Classic Colorworks and Old Willow Stitchery on 40ct Dill by Picture This Plus. The thread colors I used were: CC Barn Door, CC Cocoa Bean, CC Blackbird, and OWS Lancaster Gold.

From the Deep (modified) by Plum Street Samplers – DMC and NPI on 40ct Lambswool. Stitched specifically to fit into this frame.

WIPs
