Fabulous House series – Quilts & Adventures

Floss Friday #181

Welcome Back Stitchers! It has been a busy week and I missed my quilty post on Tuesday so I will be setting that up for next week if you are a quilty follower. Today I am in Michigan for 141 Designs Spring Break Retreat and I am excited to be here. I got in late Wednesday night and the retreat starts on Thursday. I know I won’t have time because I will be having too much fun to actually write this on Friday. So here I am on Thursday typing up this post for tomorrow.

Floss Friday #180

Welcome back for some cross stitch goodness! Last week we went in depth on my Cross Stitch WIPGO results for April (and past month goals) as well as to diving into the May WIPGO projects. I was pretty focused this week and went with finishing a goal before moving onto the next project goal. I know..a little unusal for me. It is just where my head was this week. I feel good with the results.

Let’s jump in.

It has been two weeks since I posted. Check out my quilting post for all the fun I had at the quilt retreat here.

I was very optomistic about how much cross stitching I would get done. Surprise! Yet I still managed to get a wee bit of stitching from time to time. I did take one of my WIPGO projects.

Starts & Finishes

There were a lot of down days this past two weeks. I would like to say they were all while I was at the quilt retreat but that would be a fib. Yet I was able to finish one of my projects.

Hello Stitchy Friends! It has been a very busy week and the next week looks to be just as busy. Let’s take a peek at what I have been working on this week.

Starts & Finishes

Just one new start for this week.

START: August Square Dance by Heart in Hand

I got a good start on the next in this series that I am working up as one yearlong banner. The theme is beehives. 🐝.

WIP Updates

The rest of the week I worked on my list of WIPs. I only got to stitch 6 out of 7 nights and some nights it was for only an hour. Progress is progress.

Welcome back my stitchy friends! It has been crazy busy week as I have spent time indulging my inclination to learn. I just love to learn! I haven’t learned any new things about cross stitch this week, just enjoyed the process on making little “x”s.

Starts & Finishes

I only had one new start this week. Starting is always the hardest thing for me. This is one of the reasons I have recently been starting projects that have been on my bucket list.

Floss Friday #169

Welcome back to my cross stitch blog! I was distracted this week with other crafty projects that you can check out here but still a good week. We have continued to have pretty nice weather for a February in the PNW. Starting this weekend we will be falling back into the normal February weather patterns – rain. So enjoying the last of the sunshine ☀️

Starts & Finishes

Surprisingly, I have had some activity in this category with three starts and one finish.

Welcome back my Stitchy Friends! Here we are in the first week of February already. The weather here in the PNW has been absolutely gorgeous reaching as high as 60. Very unusual this time of the year, but enjoying each every sunny day. It has been a very busy and productive week so lets get started

Starts & Finishes

No new starts this week, but I had a surprise finish.

FINISH: Stitching Quakers by Primrose Cottage

This was stitched on 16 ct pewter aida with the called for Colour & Cotton floss. I really like working with quaker patterns. This was just fun seeing all the hand stitching items for cross stitch, hand sewing, embroidery, etc. The bees were a nice touch of symbolism.
