Quilting, Cross Stitch & Travel Adventures
Happy Friday My Stitchy Friends! The week has flown by. So crazy that it is the weekend again. I had a pretty good week for stitching. Only one missed night which is not bad. I did my own Halloween/Fall Athon on Halloween where I stitched a new project each hour on Halloween. Loved it!
Time for the October recap for WIPGO so let’s take a look!
Hello my Stitchy Friends! Welcome to this week’s update on my cross stitch projects. Overall, it has been a pretty good week. Didn’t quite get to everything I hoped but not bad.
This month is 1 &16. I can’t believe we only have two more months of 2026. Time to start thinking what 25 projects I want next year.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #202”Welcome back my Stitchy Friends! Another fun filled busy week here in the Pacific Northwest. The rain has been holding off and we have been enjoying a glorious Indian Summer (Fall). I am taking every sunny day to heart and loving each moment.
Had one new start this week! But no new finishes…
Continue reading “Floss Friday #201”After days of rain while the sun is shinng, today is all sunshine! It is nice so see such blue skies. Loving this spring weather. Busy day today so getting this one posted late. Let’s hope to it!
Welcome back my Stitchy Friends! We have a lovely sunny 60+F day here in Vancouver, Washington. The sky is this amazing blue which is so nice to look at after a few days of rainy clouds. Still a little too breezy for me, but I sure love looking at the bright blue sky!
I had two finishes this week! That got me a little pumped!
Continue reading “Floss Friday #175”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.
Just one new start for this week.
I got a good start on the next in this series that I am working up as one yearlong banner. The theme is beehives. 🐝.
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.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #173”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.
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.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #171”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!)
Continue reading “Floss Friday #156”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.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #155”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.
