Floss Friday #114

Last Friday of October already. Honestly this week has felt like the last week of October but I still have 7 more days of October! How exciting. The November WIPGO projects are out and we will take a peek. By default, that means we know the December projects as well. I have chosen not to go there. I am excited about winding down October and starting on November. Let’s get started!

November WIPGO Projects

The goal each month is to work on the project at least five times or have a finish.

Welcome back my friends. It has been an unexpected productive week. That makes it an exciting week. Let’s take a look!

This week I was able to finish TWO projects! So exciting.

Floss Friday #107

Happy Friday! How is your first Friday in September shaping up? It is going to be another hot one here in San Jose, California. We have a nice little breeze which is helping cool it off a tad. It is still 90+ but should be breaking the current heat wave this weekend. Just in time for me to head to Redding on Monday into 90+ weather again. LOL! I am looking forward to this quick little jaunt north. Plan on going to Lassen National Park one day at least. Breakfast and dinner will be with my daughter Caitlin who is going to be working in Redding on a project for work all week. It will be good to see her.

Floss Friday #106

We are experiencing pleasant late summer early fall weather with temperatures around 80 for the next few days. A welcome reprieve from the 90+ temperatures earlier in the week. I am looking forward to fall. It is truly my favorite season of the year. Nice temperatures, beautiful weather, kids back in school. Just love it.

I have all these fall projects I want to start so I have made a push to try and finish all those projects close to being done.

Floss Friday #105

Welcome to this week’s edition of all my stitchy projects. I have mixed feelings with the week. I feel like I really got things done, but not quite what I originally planned 😂. Big surprise there. My assistant was VERY helpful this week keeping me focused and in one place.

Floss Friday #101

Welcome to this week’s edition of Floss Friday. I am still at Lake Tahoe at a quilt retreat. More sewing than stitching has happened this week but I do have some stuff to show you from before this trip. Let’s jump in!

Floss Friday #100

Whoo Hoo! Hard to believe this is my 100th post of Floss Friday. That translates to 2 years of posting. Just seems like yesterday I started this regular post. The memories….

Let’s take a look at what I worked on this week.

Floss Friday #97

Welcome to this week’s edition of all things cross stitchy. I spent the last three days attending a virtual conference on my latest hobby of surface pattern design. It was fun but would have been more fun in person. Got some great new ideas and some encouragement that I am headed in the right direction. This surface pattern design journey reminds me of my quilting or cross stitch journey. So much information, so much enthusiasm, a so little courage to go for it. 😂

Moving on to what I worked on this week. I ended up taking last night off but I still worked on a number of projects this past week. Let’s check it out.

Floss Friday #96

I have been a little late all week. Off my game for sure. But it has been a super productive week in my crafting world. 😝 I think I am finally recovered from the Reno trip just in time for my trip to Washington State. Let’s take a look at what cross stitch I worked on this past week.

Starts & Finishes

I had one start and three finishes this week. It felt so good to check off so many of my finish projects off the list. Let’s check them out!

Floss Friday #95

It has been a busy week at the Reno Quilt Show but we still managed to get some stitching in as we settled down for the night. Not as much as normal, but still a decent amount. We finished our classes yesterday and walked the show floor in just a couple of hours. That turned out to be a good thing since we only had a couple of hours. 😂.

Thursday night we drove over to Gardnerville to stay at a friend’s house and to hit our favorite quilt store – Quilt House. As usual, it was productive and fabric that we haven’t been able to find was found. We will be heading home today. But before we do that: Let’s take a look at this week’s projects.
