Flosstube #44 The 2025 Thanksgiving WIP Parade

Flosstube #44 The 2025 Thanksgiving WIP Parade

My annual WIP parade is twice as large as last year! I start with curated cross stitch collection and pairing my FOTM from Mystic Fabrics to a Just Cross Stitch magazine Summer 2024 patterns on pages 38 and 69. Then grab your WIPs because you will have lots of stitch time.
