Dyeing to Stitch Flosstube 03 Episode

In this third Flosstube episode, I discuss my floss and fabric haul from Dyeing to Stitch in Virginia Beach. I show my current Halloween cross stitch project. Next is my Save the Stitches segment where I show some of the cross stitch and needlepoint pieces I have saved over the last five years. Unfortunately, not all of the pieces I find can be saved. I try to stress the importance of not allowing needle art pieces to wind up in the dumpsters and landfills. In my Sustainability Station I showcase my original mythical paper mache Wierwood Tree headpiece made almost entirely of recycled materials. Next is my library book segment. I show two crafty and home décor library books. Stay tuned for a photo slide show of my trip to Dyeing to Stitch including stitching at the beach and walking my senior rescue pug Raji Bubby. Let's get stitching.
