Quilts & Adventures

Floss Friday #198

While this will post back dated (because I can), I am actually working on this Sunday morning. I do not know how the week got away from me. My personal To Do list has been so long for this week and I have been frantically trying to catch up after more than a month of travel. I leave Monday for my last trip (I think) for 2026. Pesky things like bills, taxes, food, laundry, etc all needed doing. When all I want to do is continue the fun I had creating at the quilt retreat. So…

Welcome back my Stitchy Friends! I worked really hard on trying to finish my September WIPGO projects and I did! I can’t wait to share the progress.

To Do Tuesday #198

Welcome back my Quilty Friends! I had a great week at Lake Tahoe with my Quilting Posse for the Studio B Quilt Retreat. This was our 3rd fall retreat we have attended. Such a gorgeous place to have a retreat. This year there was another quilt group there as well and we wandered by to see what they were working on. I love inperson retreats. I get so much inspiration! I will share more about the retreat a little later.

I will be linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt for this week’s To Do Tuesday Linkup. Be sure and check it out! To see other people’s projects, click on the linkup button on her blog. Then you can check out what others are doing for some inspiration.

Hello Stitchy Friends! The quilt retreat has gone well and today is a travel day back home. So hopefully, I can finish this post tonight, if not then Saturday. 🙈. With so much quilting, cross stitch time was pretty limited. Let me share what I did do this week.

Hello from Lake Tahoe my quilty friends! I arrived for a quilt retreat on Friday at Zephyr Cove Conference Center. The weather was forecasted to be cooler. Instead we have perfect 70’s weather with Sunday reaching a high of 81. It is just gorgeous. Love being feed 3 meals a day with no kitchen duty!

I plan to linkup with Carol at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday linkup.

Hello my Stitchy Friends! It has been another crazy busy week! Home only for a few days before heading off for my next trip. Just one more after this one and one class then I can settle into a nice rhythm for a month or two. (LOL!) 😂

To Do Tuesday #196

Just got back from a trip to Paducah, Kentuckly where I spent three days at the National Quilt Museum. The purpose of the trip was to catch the Tula Pink Exhibit before it ended on September 15th. I tired really hard to miss the hot and humid summer weather in Kentucky. Total fail! It was HOT 🥵 all five days with a 95% humidity and mid 90’s each day. It was like walking in a sauna each day. The weather was very sapping. But I was grateful it wasn’t raining too as originally predicted. Take the win when you get it!

I was so excited to get to the museum and get my first glimpse of the Tula Pink Exhibit. Once I got there, I was pleasantly surprised to find the museum was bigger than I was thinking (but not too big). I made a decision immediately to just focus on Tula the first visit. I ended up getting a membership (plus it supports the museum) and come back for the next 2 days to catch he other exhibits and view again any part of the Tula quilts I needed more time with.

Welcome back my Stitchy friends! I am travelling today to Kentucky via Nashville. I am not sure if this will really post on Friday or if it will end up being on Saturday.

I have a lot to share today as I forgot to share the September WIPGO last time I posted in August. Which means this is my first time posting in September where I share the results of August WIPGO. I am going to tackle these first.

To Do Tuesday #195

Welcome back my quilty friends! I was not sure if I would be sharing today as I did not expect to have any quilting time. I went to a cross stitch retreat and got back Sunday. Ended up my guild had a special Sit n Sew Zoom on Labor Day. I spent the whole day in my studio!

To Do Tuesday #194

It has been a minute my quilty friends. Just to give you a heads up, the next 6 weeks is going to be crazy. I am gone as much as I am home. Hopefully I will get to share some of what I am doing with all of you.

I plan to linkup with Carol at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.

Hello Stitchy Friends! Last post of August. Can you believe it! The week has gone by quickly. As usual, my expectations were much higher than my time to complete those expectations. But I made a nice dent. So let’s take a look at this week’s projects.

Starts & Finishes

One! Just one new start with plans for so many more. LOL! My grandiose plans 🙄 have not come to fruitation this month. Yet, I can’t regret being an optimist. So let’s take a look at what I did get started.
