Flosstube #13 - FFOs, Brilliant Biscornus, Finishing Ideas, Nashville Top Picks and lots of Haul!

A video all about cross stitch! I'm Ellie and I'm a UK flosstuber who loves bees and cross stitch bargains!

I hope you enjoy this video where I show my FFOs, Valentine new starts and progress on Stitching my way to Happiness! I share some finishing ideas, show lots of varied PDF purchases, discuss my Nashville 2025 top 5 and reveal the other purchases and bargains I've had throughout the month! At the end of
the video I give a book flip through of 'Iznik and Delf Pottery in Cross Stitch' by Durene Jones.
