Quilting, Cross Stitch & Travel Adventures
Not much to report this week. I was only home a couple days since I last posted and one of those was spent at the Portland Quilt Festival. I packed up and headed to Bend, Oregon for a long weekend. I walked a 5k race called Salmon Run while my daughter ran a half marathon and her husband Jannes ran a 10k. It was fun to hang out with them. We absolutely gorgeous weather.
It has been two weeks since I posted. Check out my quilting post for all the fun I had at the quilt retreat here.
I was very optomistic about how much cross stitching I would get done. Surprise! Yet I still managed to get a wee bit of stitching from time to time. I did take one of my WIPGO projects.
There were a lot of down days this past two weeks. I would like to say they were all while I was at the quilt retreat but that would be a fib. Yet I was able to finish one of my projects.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #177”I was having so much fun at the quilt retreat, I could not tear myself away from my sewing machine to write last week’s blog. So that means you will be bombarded with all that got done in a 6 day retreat (4 full days).
Yes. I will be linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt for this week’s To Do Tuesday linkup.

I was in the studio a few times this week. Sewing only happened on one of those days. LOL! I am still enjoying my time in the studio now that I have brand new lighting! So very nice.
I will be linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt once again for To Do Tuesday Linkup. Come check it out!
Welcome back my Stitchy Friends! We have a lovely sunny 60+F day here in Vancouver, Washington. The sky is this amazing blue which is so nice to look at after a few days of rainy clouds. Still a little too breezy for me, but I sure love looking at the bright blue sky!
I had two finishes this week! That got me a little pumped!
Continue reading “Floss Friday #175”Welcome back my Quilty friends! Oh my goodness. The Electrician was here this past week installing more lights in the sewing studio. He only got a third done and I can’t believe how much better I can see. Can’t wait until they finish all of it this week! Let there be LIGHT!💡 Also switching out halogen for led as well as yellow for white. So much brighter. I did not even realize how much I have been straining my eyes. So very nice! Okay, let’s talk quilting.
I will be linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt again this week for To Do Tuesday. Come check it out.

No new starts or finishes this week.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #174”Welcome back all my quilty friends! I can not believe how fast this week went. I swear I was just doing this quilty blog. I didn’t get a lot of quilting done this week as I signed myself up for a sewing machine class for a machine I was interested in buying. It was two full days and I had a great sewmate. We laughed and swapped stories. I now have a new quilty friend: Loriann!
I will be linking up with Carol at Quiltschmilt for To Do Tuesday linkup this week. Swing by and check out all the lovely projects. Feel free to join us. It is a great group of ladies!
Continue reading “To Do Tuesday #175”Hello Stitchy Friends! It has been a very busy week and the next week looks to be just as busy. Let’s take a peek at what I have been working on this week.
Just one new start for this week.
I got a good start on the next in this series that I am working up as one yearlong banner. The theme is beehives. 🐝.
The rest of the week I worked on my list of WIPs. I only got to stitch 6 out of 7 nights and some nights it was for only an hour. Progress is progress.
