To Do Tuesday #188

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! 😂 🧨🎇

To Do Tuesday #187

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!

Intentions to link up with Carol @ Quilt Schmilt again this week. Thanks Carol for continuing to provide this linkup. Be sure to check out the link if you want some inspiration.

Welcome back my Stitchy Friends! The week just flew by for me. I had a couple of down days this week. Got caught up doing home stuff and too tired to pick up any projects. Otherwise it has been a good week!

Hello my Quilty Friends! Hope you are enjoying the summer and World Cup. Here in the PNW, we are currently experiencing another short heat wave before cooler weather and rain.

It has been exciting to follow the World Cup. Tomorrow the final group stage games start. I am hoping our Northern Neighbors can win their group, but even if they don’t they will move onto the Round of 32 knockout stage. So much fun watching all the big stars playing with my favorite being Messi. Such a humble man.

I am planning on linking up with Carol Schmilt @ Quilt Schmilt in British Columbia for another week of To Do Tuesday. Overall I feel pretty good about what I accomplished

Floss Friday #185

Welcome back Stitchy Friends! Anyone following the World Cup. I have to admit I have been caught up in the excitement. Even better, all three host country’s teams are doing fabulous – Mexico, Canada, and United States. Definitely giving me more time to stitch.

Floss Friday #184

Welcome back Stitchy Friends! Excited to watch the USA play Paraguay in the World Cup tonight. It will be a weekend full of World Cup games and time for stitching. Love it!

Starts & Finishes

Just in case you were wondering. For me a start is when I start a new CHART. Some projects have multiple charts and I consider them a seperate project because I don’t have to stitch all of them. I am doing quite a few series and each is a seperate chart so seperate project even if I decide to do them as one larger project. This thought process evolved to help keep me motivated and keep up momentum.

On the other hand, when I finish stitching a CHART, I am calling it a finish. This is not to be confused with FFO (Final Finished Object) which when they happen for me end up in its own category. I am just horrible about that final step so you don’t see that here often.

With that said, I had a couple of starts this week.

Hello my Quilty Friends! Thanks for stopping by to check on what I worked on this week. It has been another light quilting week but I am happy to share. The plan is to link up with Carol @ Quilt Schmilt for another To Do Tuesday linkup. Come join us.

Floss Friday #183

Welcome back my stitchy friends! How is the last day of spring been for you? We have overall had a very mild spring with days in the 50s and days in the 80s. Some rain and some sunshine. Perfect spring weather. Right now we are in a rainy phase. This morning when I got up it was pouring cats and dogs. This afternoon I see peeks of blue skies between the white fluffy clouds and the grey stormy clouds. Wait five minutes and it could change!

May WIPGO Results

I am happy to say I finished both of my May WIPGO goals and made some progress on those old April and January goals.
