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.

Floss Friday #165

Welcome back my Stitchy Friends! We have had lots of sunshine here in the Pacific Northwest. I am totally enjoying every moment. How about you? My evening stitching time has been abbreviated this week due to life. I missed one night altogether because I was finishing a book. 📖

Starts & Finishes

I ended up with no new starts or finishes. Although I did spend a day going through all of my projects I had pulled for January to figure out what comes next. I have a total of 4 friendstitch projects from December. I have decided to start three of them this month. Two are quite small and can be finished fairly quickly. They may rollover to February.

Floss Friday #164

Hello my Stitchy Friends! Welcome back to this week’s update on my cross stitch projects. The week went fairly well if a bit disorganized. 🤪 Not sure what is going on there. I have sketched out my plan for January, but haven’t found the time to organize it. So I ended up focusing on my WIPGO projects this past week. Here we go….

Starts & Finishes

I surprised myself with a finish this week – only one – and no new starts. (That is not a surprise. 🤪)

Floss Friday #163

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!

2025 Project Recap

  • WIPs as of January 1st = 21
  • Starts = 52

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.

Floss Friday #154

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.

Hello from Steaming Pacific Northwest. We are having another mini heat wave here with it supposed to reach 102F (39C). Lucky for us it is only for a couple of days with over 100, then it cools off for the rest of the week in the 90s. Oh yea!

I have continued to diligently work my active wips for the month. Let me share my progress with you.

Starts & Finishes

I have no new starts this week but one finish.
