Quilts & Adventures

To Do Tuesday #22

This week was a good week. Still feeling a little anxious about finishing my Name of Rose quilt and February table runner. It doesn’t help that today Simba unthreaded my Gammill. I think in October, I am going to pick a week that the only thing I do is long arming. My fall quilt is almost ready and I have three others that definitely ready!

I am joining Linda over at Texas Quilt Gal for the To Do Tuesday Link Up. Thanks Linda!

Happy Friday everyone! Wow! The week flew by. I don’t have much to show you this week since my focus is getting my pre-stitching done for my upcoming finishing class on October 7th & 8th. Just two weeks away.

To Do Tuesday #21

I was surprised how much I actually got done this week. I didn’t feel any more focused than usual, but I am definitely happy with my progress!

Once again I will be linking up with Linda from Texas Quilt Gal. Come join us.

Welcome to another Friday where we look at all things stitchy – cross stitch anyways. I have been diligently working on my upcoming finishing class project and have my fingers crossed that I will actually finished in time. I had hoped to have both sheets of perforated paper stitched. Close, but not close enough.

Floss Friday #14

Hi Everyone! I hope you had nice Labor Day Weekend. We were away at a hockey tournament in Southern California. It was unbearably hot at 115F. At first I was happy to be home until the heat wave continued on here with a high of 108F this week. Today so far we have a cool 95F. I am keeping my fingers crossed we are done with the heat wave. We have more wild fires when it is hot like this. We have been lucky here in California. We have only had a few wild fires so far in 2022.

To Do Tuesday #19

The summer is wrapping up so quickly. Here in California, the kids are back in school already with Labor Day Weekend this coming weekend. For my household, that means we will be off to a hockey tournament. At least our first one is close – So Cal.

Welcome to another Friday update on all things cross stitch in my life. Last time I also threw in some vacation photos. I hope you all enjoyed them. Retirement for me was not a planned event so the transition has been a tough one for this past three years. Although, I was not 100% retired until last October. I am not sure if Covid helped or hindered my transition but it surely screwed with my health. On the other hand, it was when I stepped back in the world of cross stitch after 35 years. Today’s world is very different from the cross stitch I knew in college.

To Do Tuesday #18

Welcome to another To Do Tuesday. It’s been a couple of weeks for me this time because I took a little road trip to Washington and Oregon. Check out my last Floss Friday to see some pictures from that trip.

Floss Friday #12

Wow! It’s been a whole month since I last posted. Summer Vacations are so important to replenishing your creative and physical stores so you can carry forward.
