2022 New Year … New Goals

It’s been a while since I posted anything. The past summer found me on the road more than not. Once again, I had computer issues again so here we are more than six months later. I had to switch over to my laptop as Word Press is no longer working on my iPad which makes it a challenging process for sure.

Long Arm Goals for 2022

During 2021 I retired and purchased myself a new long arm machine. It took forever to be delivered and when it was finally delivered, I ended up on the road for six weeks. I got home and I finally did my first quilt. Then Gammill changed the distribution and consumer channels so that means I had no one locally to get help from.

CROSS STITCH DIARY: July Update

Hello My Friends! This is totally a crazy month. There will be nothing organized or normal for July or even August. You may remember that I got a new long arm but there was something wrong with the computer unit (darn computers!) so I am still waiting for the part. I could have started using the long arm anyway but chose not to.

Finish-A-Long DIARY: Qtr 2 2021

It’s hard to believe that another quarter has flown by. I had 28 projects on my list for second quarter of 2021. I finished four of those. They all happened to be applique projects but they are in use already and look beautiful. Let’s take a look!

QUILT DIARY: June 2021

This week’s blog is very challenging. WordPress had an update and I am struggling with the changes. I even consider myself computer savy (LOL), but I have been working on this for an hour…. I usually like to use my Ipad to write the blog because it is so much easier to insert photos but I am back to my laptop in an effort to get this blog written and hope WordPress fixes the apple app soon. Hopefully you will still enjoy the blog.

APPLIQUE DIARY: JUNE 2021

This post will be another fairly short post as I simply didn’t do anything until today for the past month. Really lost my mojo in the sewing room. I have been moping around here for weeks just not feeling it. My cats are very disappointed because they love to hang (and steal things) in the sewing room.

CROSS STITCH DIARY: Update June 2021

It’s been a busy month since we last chatted about my cross stitch projects. I’ve still lacking in courage or a defined plan for a framed or finished project. I have on my list Singing in the Rain and FQS Stitch Quarterly America.

EPP DIARY: June 2021

Another month has slipped by with plenty of hockey. A matter of fact there has been so much hockey that I kind of got burnt out for a week. I took a week off and just read instead. LOL!

QUILT DIARY: Update May 2021

I haven’t had a lot of drive this month to work on things. I have pittered around with a few projects but not my usual focus on getting things done.

APPLIQUE DIARY: Update May 2021

Well this post should be short and sweet. After getting so many applique projects wrapped up last month, this month was a bit … slow (or unmotivated)

CROSS STITCH DIARY: A little update for May 2021

I have been a little distracted this past month. Last weekend we were in Salt Lake City for a hockey tournament. I brought along both cross stitch and EPP. Both the plane and the hotel room was a bit crowded and not really conducive to getting stuff out which was a bit disappointing. Here I thought I was going to make all this progress but we were running around with not a lot of free time.
