Quilts & Adventures

To Do Tuesday #191

Welcome back to my quilty blog! This week was pretty good but most of it was spent in class learning my new Bernina 990 and everything it can do (which is everything but cook me dinner!). I am very excited at the possibilities. Not only does it have a laser light (where the needle is) but it also has a camera. It can even count my stitches and automatically stop when I am chain piecing! How crazy right? I don’t actually do a lot of chain piecing because I like sampler quilts or to build pictures of some kind.

I didn’t realize that it has been two weeks since I posted to my quilty blog. Two weeks in a row commuting to multiple day classes left me more exhausted than I remembered. Obviously, I am feeling as fresh as a daisy today!😂

This past week was another full week of learning. This time I took a 3 day class in Portland to “Master” my new Bernina 990. That’s sewing and this post is about cross stitch. I only mention it because it meant that I was in traffic for an hour every morning and 90-120 minutes. When I got home, I had homework to do for the next day. By the time I finished my homework, I had enough time to eat and go to bed so I could do it all over again the next day. Not a lot of stitching happened.

Not much to report in my quilty world this week. My sister was here for most of the week so I never made it up to the sewing studio. I barely got in my normal creative adventures. But I was so excited to spend time with her. Sadly she had to head home today.

While I do not have anything to share this week, I will still check in with Carol at Quilt Schmilt for this week’s linkup.

Hello my Quilty friends! How is your summer going? We have had a mild summer here in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). The last few days have been much warmer hitting a high of 87F. Sitting on my back patio with the breeze blowing, it’s perfect. Hope you all enjoyed your 4th of July. Fireworks started here last week and continued pretty late on Saturday night. Luckily nothing since.

My daughter Caitlin and her husband Jannes were on a backpacking trip to the Three Sisters 🏔️ in Oregon. I had cat duty. I went over on Saturday evening to check on the furbabies and feed them. They were good for the most part. Fireworks were non-stop in their neighborhood. She lives a half block away from a park. I was happy to go home. So happy in fact that I could appreciate how much quieter my neighborhood was. LOL! 😂 🧨🎇

Welcome back my Quilty Friends! Still totally enamored with the World Cup. Our Northern neighbor, Canada, did fantastic with advancement to Round of 16. I have on our Southern neighbor, Mexico, on while I work on this blog. So exciting. I wanted to get in a little more time on my projects this last day of June. I had a goal of finishing 10 blocks this month which I managed to do. Surprise!
