Welcome back to Lambert Cottage for Flosstube #7!
Today, I’m stitching a Highland Cow & Sunflowers piece — a printed cross-stitch kit that feels like painting with thread. In this cozy episode, I share stories from 45 years of stitching, why I keep a journal for each project, how I’m teaching my granddaughter the joy of slow sewing, and the special “no-knot” method that’s my favorite way to begin a stitch.

Whether you’re a beginner or lifelong stitcher, pour some tea, settle in, and let’s stitch together. 🧵
