Quilting, Cross Stitch & Travel Adventures
Where did the week go?! It has been a busy and hot week here in Vancouver, Washington. Worked on quite a few projects this week and attended a Virtual Cross Stitch Retreat (my first).
I ended up having three finishes and one start this week. One of my finishes were unexpected and one start was unplanned but who can resist a new start?
Continue reading “Floss Friday #147”Welcome to this week’s edition of all things cross stitch. It was a busy week with the cross stitch. Almost did everything I planned but got a little side tracked when I went all patriotic. 🇺🇸
Let’s take a look at my projects for the week.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #145”I am still playing catchup (again) 🤣 I never posted last week because it was quilt zoom day and then I just … forgot. Oopsie! So here we are making up for lost time.
I have a bit to share with you but first wanted to just let you know I have been on a hunt for the fabric I knew I purchased for the June WIPGO project Field Guide to Dragons. I searched in all my unpacked cross stitch supplies (and realized I am missing all of my 14 ct aida hmmm). Then I realized that I probably had put it in the tote bag of cross stitch haul that still needs to be scanned and organized. I looked in that tote twice. I went to put away some recent haul from 123 Stitch and my new FQS Stitch Quarterly in THAT tote. Guess what I found? Yep, the missing fabric. What a relief!
Continue reading “Floss Friday #143”Happy Friday! While the weather here in the PNW is more spring like this week, it still has been a great week. I even got in a 4 mile walk with blue skies! Let’s jump into all my cross stitch projects that I worked on this past week so I can get you caught up.
I had one finish this week. I had planned a start but wasn’t in the mood to start a new project. I know! That is very Peggy unlike.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #139”Welcome to this week’s stitchy update. Other than finding my supplies, things are rolling along with all my cross stitch projects. I worked on almost everything I hoped to this week. Let’s take a look.
No new starts or finishes.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #138”While things are slow moving on the quilting front as I find and organize my 50 boxes of stuff, I have all of my active cross stitch WIPS with me. Now I haven’t been able to find my extra needles, my floss stasth, my fabric stash, or my inactive wips, kits, or patterns, that still leaves me with a lot to work with. Let’s take a look at what I worked on this week.
I initially thought I had nothing to share for this category. I already forgot that last Friday I finished a project!
Continue reading “Floss Friday #137”Hello Everyone! Sorry about missing last week’s blog. Just had a bad week so this week will be a lot since I did stitch everyday this past two weeks. LOL! 😝 Still working on the move which will be the theme for the next month.
I am excited that I have already started five of the six planned starts for this month and one of the two finishes for March. After a mediocre February, I am feeling good about March. Let’s take a look:
I got a great start on this WIPGO project for the month. I am already 1216 stitches into my 1500 stitch WIPGO goal. Feeling pleased as ice cream over this one. I have been looking forward to starting this Stitch Quarterly project from a year ago. I love the vibrant colors and it is a delight to work on. In just two nights I am already over half done with this project. Just love stitching on this navy aida.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #134”Welcome back! This week has been a fairly productive week with all my cross stitch projects. I am looking forward to sharing what I worked on this week. So let’s get started!
Happy Friday! It’s a good day. My daughter who works with USGS is still employed. The next four years, no matter what happens, will be a roller coaster since Donald Trump does not like scientist especially those who work with the environment or climate. But this platform is not a political one and I certainly don’t want to make it so. Just please make sure you get all the facts before you speak.
On to more fun things like all my stitchy projects for this week. Let’s get started!
Continue reading “Floss Friday #132”Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope all you lovebirds have a great day today. My brother-in-law and my grandson both brought me flowers for today as well as helping me with my storage unit. I loved the grand gesture from both of them!
