Quilting, Cross Stitch & Travel Adventures
Where did the time go? I can’t believe that another week has gone by. I am trying to think what I have done this week. Doesn’t seem like much. LOL! I ended up getting caught up in reading and probably read 4 books this week instead of hitting the sewing room.
Despite that, I did make it to the sewing room once this week and worked one night on my English paper piecing. I will be linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Check it out!
Continue reading “To Do Tuesday #159”While I did try to hit the studio every day, I only managed to hit it a few days this past week. I was stoked to make it up there as much as I did as were Nala and Simba. They love it when I am in the sewing studio. I am still in the midst of figuring out what got unpacked when my helper was here in October. Honestly, I would rather sew then organize most days so I went with the flow this week.
I will be linking up again this week with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Come join us!
Continue reading “To Do Tuesday #158”Wow! I can’t believe I haven’t posted any quilting blogs since September. Honestly, I can’t even remember if I made it to my sewing studio at all in October. I know I meant to do some EPP but it ended up still being packed away with my retreat projects. Oops!
Yes I will be linking up with Carol Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Hopefully she won’t mind that it has been so long.
Continue reading “To Do Tuesday #157”Welcome back my stitchy friends. Wow! It is now August. The summer is just zooming by. It is hard to believe that I have been in my new home four months. In some ways it feels like I have been here forever (because I am loving every moment) and in others it feels like I just go here (tons of boxes to unpack still).
I am slowly getting things together and have developed a pretty good daily routine which includes regular stitching. Meet most of my July goals so let’s take a look!
I meet both my goals for July which makes me super happy. Since I moved it has been quite the struggle to meet these goals. Slowly but surely things are coming together.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #148”Where did the week go?! It has been a busy and hot week here in Vancouver, Washington. Worked on quite a few projects this week and attended a Virtual Cross Stitch Retreat (my first).
I ended up having three finishes and one start this week. One of my finishes were unexpected and one start was unplanned but who can resist a new start?
Continue reading “Floss Friday #147”Hello Everyone! It is so hard to believe we are halfway through July already. Times seems to be flying by doesn’t it? I hope your summer has been fun and productive at the same time. Remember to take time for yourself.
I am still feeling patriotic this week. While I did not work on both projects, I did make time for one of them. We will be checking that out soon, but first let’s visit new starts and finishes.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #146”Welcome to this week’s edition of all things cross stitch. It was a busy week with the cross stitch. Almost did everything I planned but got a little side tracked when I went all patriotic. 🇺🇸
Let’s take a look at my projects for the week.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #145”Happy Fourth of July from USA! May we have many more.
I am thankful that it is not 100F like it was last year here in Vancouver, Washington. I am enjoying a quite day. The kids are camping and I am here at Starbucks working on this blog for you. Afterwards, I plan to go home and sit out on my patio to enjoy a good book? How about you?
Continue reading “Floss Friday #144”I am still playing catchup (again) 🤣 I never posted last week because it was quilt zoom day and then I just … forgot. Oopsie! So here we are making up for lost time.
I have a bit to share with you but first wanted to just let you know I have been on a hunt for the fabric I knew I purchased for the June WIPGO project Field Guide to Dragons. I searched in all my unpacked cross stitch supplies (and realized I am missing all of my 14 ct aida hmmm). Then I realized that I probably had put it in the tote bag of cross stitch haul that still needs to be scanned and organized. I looked in that tote twice. I went to put away some recent haul from 123 Stitch and my new FQS Stitch Quarterly in THAT tote. Guess what I found? Yep, the missing fabric. What a relief!
Continue reading “Floss Friday #143”Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope all you lovebirds have a great day today. My brother-in-law and my grandson both brought me flowers for today as well as helping me with my storage unit. I loved the grand gesture from both of them!
