November 2025 – Quilts & Adventures

Floss Friday #159

Hope all my American friends had a great Thanksgiving yesterday. Mine was awesome. Good company. Good food. I did have a bit of a food coma afterwards. Rained most of the day but since I never had to leave the house, it didn’t bother me much. Hope all of you had a great holiday!

Overall, this was a good stitching week. I even finished one of my WIPGO goals for November. With just 3 days left, I hope to finish my second goal. Let’s take a look at this week’s projects.

To Do Tuesday #160

Wow! This is the last week of November then we will be in the last month of 2025. The year has certainly been a busy chaotic year. I thought I would be nice and settled in by now. I am close but not there yet. I am already thinking about my 2026 goals. You?

This week I will be linking up with Carol @ Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. I hope you find some time to check out what other quilters and creators are working on. Maybe you might even find some time to join us. Check out the link below:

Floss Friday #158

Hello Everyone! I started thinking about Thanksgiving this week. I am looking forward to good food and company. It makes it one of my favorite times of the year. I look forward to the fellowship!

The week was productive. I hit all of my weekly goals and most of my monthly goals. Let’s take a look at this week’s projects.

To Do Tuesday #159

Where did the time go? I can’t believe that another week has gone by. I am trying to think what I have done this week. Doesn’t seem like much. LOL! I ended up getting caught up in reading and probably read 4 books this week instead of hitting the sewing room.

Despite that, I did make it to the sewing room once this week and worked one night on my English paper piecing. I will be linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Check it out!

Floss Friday #157

Hello Everyone! It has been a busy week here. I have been working on kitting and prepping all of my fall new starts. I have a crazy process.

First I decide on them. Next I pull threads. If it is a “purchased” kit, I check my floss inventory for used skeins. I update my Excel sheet (Floss Inventory) for number of skeins in the kit and my actual inventory numbers. This why if I have a little kit for something, I know where I can temporarily pull floss from if I need to or borrow until I order some online. I really like how it has been working these past couple of years.

Once that is done, I make sure I have fabric in the kit. Afterwards, I go to the sewing studio to prep the fabric (zigzag the edges). This has been done for all but one of my fall projects this week.

To Do Tuesday #158

While I did try to hit the studio every day, I only managed to hit it a few days this past week. I was stoked to make it up there as much as I did as were Nala and Simba. They love it when I am in the sewing studio. I am still in the midst of figuring out what got unpacked when my helper was here in October. Honestly, I would rather sew then organize most days so I went with the flow this week.

I will be linking up again this week with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Come join us!

Floss Friday #156

Wow! I got really hyper focused this week attempting to finish all of my Halloween WIPs. I normally would just work on night on something, but I really really wanted to wrap up these projects.

I considered doing this with my Fall WIPs. I don’t think I am close enough to finish any of them if I want to everything else on my list. Not sure if I will get my November goals posted as I still want to spend some time in the sewing studio today as well. So much to do and so little time (and I am retired!)

To Do Tuesday #157

Wow! I can’t believe I haven’t posted any quilting blogs since September. Honestly, I can’t even remember if I made it to my sewing studio at all in October. I know I meant to do some EPP but it ended up still being packed away with my retreat projects. Oops!

Yes I will be linking up with Carol Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Hopefully she won’t mind that it has been so long.
