Fat Quarter Shop – Quilts & Adventures

Floss Friday #198

While this will post back dated (because I can), I am actually working on this Sunday morning. I do not know how the week got away from me. My personal To Do list has been so long for this week and I have been frantically trying to catch up after more than a month of travel. I leave Monday for my last trip (I think) for 2026. Pesky things like bills, taxes, food, laundry, etc all needed doing. When all I want to do is continue the fun I had creating at the quilt retreat. So…

Welcome back my Stitchy Friends! I worked really hard on trying to finish my September WIPGO projects and I did! I can’t wait to share the progress.

Hello Stitchy Friends! The quilt retreat has gone well and today is a travel day back home. So hopefully, I can finish this post tonight, if not then Saturday. 🙈. With so much quilting, cross stitch time was pretty limited. Let me share what I did do this week.

Hello my Stitchy Friends! It has been another crazy busy week! Home only for a few days before heading off for my next trip. Just one more after this one and one class then I can settle into a nice rhythm for a month or two. (LOL!) 😂

Hello Stitchy Friends! Wow! Summer is just zooming by. I can’t believe we are already down to just a week and a bit left of August. Then we will be into all. I hope you have had a great summer.

Starts & Finishes

I did have a finish this week, but no new starts. I have a list of five things I wanted to start this month. This next week, I had better jump on that!

While I may not have a lot to share this week, I feel pretty good with what I did do.

Floss Friday #190

This past week was another full week of learning. This time I took a 3 day class in Portland to “Master” my new Bernina 990. That’s sewing and this post is about cross stitch. I only mention it because it meant that I was in traffic for an hour every morning and 90-120 minutes. When I got home, I had homework to do for the next day. By the time I finished my homework, I had enough time to eat and go to bed so I could do it all over again the next day. Not a lot of stitching happened.

Hello Everyone! I started thinking about Thanksgiving this week. I am looking forward to good food and company. It makes it one of my favorite times of the year. I look forward to the fellowship!

The week was productive. I hit all of my weekly goals and most of my monthly goals. Let’s take a look at this week’s projects.

Wow! I got really hyper focused this week attempting to finish all of my Halloween WIPs. I normally would just work on night on something, but I really really wanted to wrap up these projects.

I considered doing this with my Fall WIPs. I don’t think I am close enough to finish any of them if I want to everything else on my list. Not sure if I will get my November goals posted as I still want to spend some time in the sewing studio today as well. So much to do and so little time (and I am retired!)

Floss Friday #155

Hello Everyone! I am finally home for a while. It feels so good to be home although I had a great time in NYC. If I find some time, I will do a travel post to cover everything I did in September & October. It has definitely been a very busy fall so far. I am looking forward to some extended time at home and to get back to my normal routine.

Unfortunately for all of you, this may be a bit longish. I will try and wrap up all of October since my post on October 3rd.

It sure was a busy September. I was on the road a lot, so I missed quite a few Fridays. I had a great time at the Quilt Retreat at Zephyr Cove on Lake Tahoe. I shared a little more in the To Do Tuesday #156 post.

The latest trip took me to Redmond/Bend, Oregon for a long arm training with Gammill as well as a shop hop one day. Learned a lot and met a lot of great people. The teachers were fantastic! I can’t wait until next year to do it again when I have more experience with my retrofited Statler.
