Floss Friday #102

Today my daughter turned 30! It just seems like yesterday when she came barreling into our life. She has always had a strong independent nature that has thankfully been channelled into a productive lifestyle. Happy Birthday Caitlin. I love you.

To Do Tuesday #104

Hello Everyone! I am back from the quilt retreat. Whew! What fun we had at beautiful Lake Tahoe, Nevada. There was 26 of us from all over the United States. The quilter who traveled the fartherest was from Wisconsin. Lots of quilting and games was had every day along with lots of food and wine.

Welcome to this week’s edition of Floss Friday. I am still at Lake Tahoe at a quilt retreat. More sewing than stitching has happened this week but I do have some stuff to show you from before this trip. Let’s jump in!

To Do Tuesday #103

Hi Everyone!

Check out Nala hiding under the rug. Totally cracks me up!

Made it to Quilt Retreat at Zephyr Point in Zephyr Cove. It is on Lake Tahoe. My first visit to Lake Tahoe and my first quilt retreat. I am excited to be here this week!

Floss Friday #100

Whoo Hoo! Hard to believe this is my 100th post of Floss Friday. That translates to 2 years of posting. Just seems like yesterday I started this regular post. The memories….

Let’s take a look at what I worked on this week.

To Do Tuesday #102

Welcome to this week’s update of all things quilty that I have worked on for the past seven days. I have slowly readjusted to being home. Still feeling a little scattered but working in my sewing room for a few days has gone a long way to settling me down.

The biggest relief is the heat. We finally came out of the heatwave over the weekend and it has been a pleasant 75-80F each day. I don’t have to wait until almost midnight to take my 30 minute walk now. Although, I do find it refreshing to walk before I go to bed and get the blood moving.

I will be linking up with Carol @ Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Please check out her blog.

Floss Friday #99

I made it home on Wednesday. What a long day with the heatwave all the way from Vancouver, Washington to San Jose, California. It was 113F from Southern Oregon to Concord. It finally started cooling off once I was coming into San Jose. It was only 95F in San Jose. Yesterday hit 100F again. I am ready for some cooler weather for a few days. Whew! I have been taking walks at midnight because that is when it finally cools off. As far as I know, this has been all up and down the West Coast. Not sure how far east it went.

To Do Tuesday #101

Hello Everyone! Hope all of you who are on the West Coast are surviving this Heat Wave. It has been following me around everywhere I go. I am currently in Vancouver, Washington and it is suppose to top out at 100F today. It will start cooling off here. Unfortunately, I will be heading home tomorrow to San Jose, where the heatwave is in its second wave. Beating the heat has been a challenge.

I will be linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Come check it out.

Floss Friday #98

Hello My Stitchy Friends from Vancouver, Washington. I stopped for the night on my way to Seattle, Washington Tuesday night. I stayed along the Columbia River. It was a beautiful night along the waterfront.

Floss Friday #97

Welcome to this week’s edition of all things cross stitchy. I spent the last three days attending a virtual conference on my latest hobby of surface pattern design. It was fun but would have been more fun in person. Got some great new ideas and some encouragement that I am headed in the right direction. This surface pattern design journey reminds me of my quilting or cross stitch journey. So much information, so much enthusiasm, a so little courage to go for it. 😂

Moving on to what I worked on this week. I ended up taking last night off but I still worked on a number of projects this past week. Let’s check it out.
