Floss Friday #177

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.

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.

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.

Welcome to 2026! I finished off December 31st trying to make it through my December goal list. Unfortunately, while I worked on EVERY project left, I did NOT make my goals. So I focused on my December WIPGO projects as that is the whole reason to have WIPGO projects. Total win there!
