cross stitch – Quilts & Adventures

Floss Friday #16

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.

Floss Friday #15

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.

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.

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.

Hello Stitchy friends!

I’ve been off have been off having adventures and time got away from me. I can’t believe it has been a month since my last post. I will try and keep this short which shouldn’t be too bad since I can’t remember how I was feeling when I was stitching most of this any way. LOL!

Cross Stitch Diary: February 2022

Still in catch up mode. This week we will take a sneak peek at my February projects so far. I participated in an instagram #stitchthewinterolympics which was fun if a little limiting. But sometimes you just have to change it up. That means a few projects I had intended on working on for the month have not even been started. With less than week left in February, I do want to get started on those projects. I will share next week with all of you.

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.

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.

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.

CROSS STITCH DIARY: April 2021

I’ve been focused the past two weeks on finishing up my February themed projects so I could try and get caught up on my Monthly series. I realized today that I just have too many monthly series so it is making it hard to work on my non-monthly projects.
