Cross Stitch – Page 7 – Quilts & Adventures

Floss Friday #62

Hi Everyone! This weekend is 24 Hours of Cross Stitching marathon hosted by Instagram’s @quirksandstitches. She also has an etsy shop with digital cross stitch planners and notebooks with her 2024 version to be released soon. You can follow this weekend with #24hoursofcrossstitch or #24hocs (my personal favorite since it is nice and short!). Be sure to post your projects starting October 20th and ending on October 22nd. You don’t need to do 24 hours straight but you can. Let’s go stitchers!

Hi Everyone! Hope you are having a fantastic October so far this month. This week is PIQF here in Northern California. So excited to see everyone and check out the vendors this year. I also signed up for a few classes starting on Thursday. I decided to take class from two of our local quilters this year and am so excited to meet them. It should be fun!

Happy Friday! It is a gorgeous Fall day here in San Jose. It is 90F and sunny. I had hoped to go for a hike today, but I am going to have to pass as it is way to hot for that. Instead I will end up going for a night walk when it cools off later. I am looking forward to it.

Let’s take a look how September went and what is on my plate for October.

Floss Friday #60

Welcome to another weekend! Fall has visited us today with overcast clouds and prediction of rain. I am sure it won’t stay long. I just love fall.

It was a busy week with lots of quilting but I still managed to get some stitching time in as well. Let’s take a look.

Happy Friday! It’s been two weeks since I last shared my cross stitch. I have continued working on my Final Finish for the Summer Baskets. If you want to see where I am at in the process, check it out in To Do Tuesday #62.

To Do Tuesday #62

Hello my Friends! Hope this Tuesday finds you well. We have slipped into fall one of my favorite times of the year. Indian summer is so much better than almost any time of the year for me. The sun is shining. It is usually high 70’s here in San Jose. Days are still long enough. Just love this time of year!

I got back from Denver Sunday. The weather was fair while we were there but Thursday our flight was delayed due to thunderstorms. Travel is still such a mess post-covid. I was lucky enough to still get my rental car even after my flight was delayed. Some people had to wait for two or three hours for a vehicle. I felt lucky we got to the hotel by 2am. We had to be at the rink by 7am and it was a 30 minute drive. We survived. LOL! Teenagers are so reslilent.

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend last weekend. I had a very nice long weekend with my daughter and her boyfriend Jannes and have made plans for Christmas in Whistler, BC. Looking forward to it!

Floss Friday #57

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you have a fun long weekend. It is Labor Day here in the States. It is the last long weekend of the summer. My grandson is off to Las Vegas for a hockey tournament with his Mom and family. I am actually spending the weekend with my daughter in Monterey this weekend. She gets here tomorrow. Meantime, I have to do a final finish on one of her cross stitch projects that I will share her work with you next week.

Welcome to another edition of Floss Friday. Hard to believe it is already the last Friday of August and summer is coming to a close. Crazy to say the least. This is the first summer since 2020 that I didn’t travel. With all the travel with hockey, it was kind of nice to be home for an extended period with some day trips here and there.

Welcome to another edition of Floss Friday where I share what I have been cross stitching on during the week. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you can share any thoughts you have!

A little shout-out to Simba who wrote Tuesday’s post. Thanks Bud! I really needed the break.
