FLOSSTUBEVERSITY - How to Stitch Mirabilia Cross Stitches
Recently I have been building a playlist for those wanting to experience stitching a Mirabilia pattern but may have been intimidated by the process or perhaps an experienced stitcher who wants to learn some new tips and tricks. There are 2 main videos releasing May 01 and May 15 (in celebration of Miramay) which introduce the designer Nora Corbett and cover everything from how to choose your first pattern, considerations, floss organization and tips and tricks we have come across over the last 25 years. Additionally, there are a couple more video tutorials releasing this month which will teach you 1) how to bead and 2) how to convert skin to 1 over 1.
COMMUNITY CORNER
Let's talk retreats! Im looking for your advice and opinion as to what are your favourite retreats and why, what are your favourite ideas for table gifts and what things you absolutely cannot live without while you are at a retreat.
