Quilting, Cross Stitch & Travel Adventures
My boss has been in town this week (and next) as well as getting a visitor Monday night who will be staying indefinitely. His name is Jannes and he is from Germany. He was supposed to get his Canadian Visa by now and because of COVID-19 that hasn’t happened. He is hoping to be in Canada within the next two weeks. So we shall see. With so much going on, I have barely touched my project list this week.
On to updating you on all things quilty! Continue reading “Quilt Diary: June Projects Update”
I started a blog two months ago and never published it. I apologize for my inconsistency these past few months. I will try and close the gap and not make this too long of a blog. I have been busy with my projects as well as work and home.

As you saw last post, I have a ton of projects. I thought I would take this post to update you on everything that did NOT make the Finish-A-Long list. Those are challenges or projects that are more than three months long. Continue reading “Quilt Diary: Challenges and Sew-A-Longs April Update”
I don’t know about all of you, I am so tired of this virus running my life. It is throwing our economy into chaos and spinning us into a recession. Lucky for me, I have a fabric stash that should carry me through. How about you? Continue reading “Quilt Diary: Welcome to April and another month of COVID-19”
This is a crazy world we are living in right now. I will keep my thoughts and views to myself as I know I think very different than most people on what is happening in the world today. So let’s move on to more fun topics – like Quilting!! Continue reading “Quilt Diary: First APQResolution2020 finish!!!”
I gave some serious consideration to not putting this blog under the Quilt Diary label but decided screw it. I’ve been living in a world of secrets for the past 15 months. You know how some of you have secret sewing, I had secret business deal in the works. It finally came out in the open on March 2nd when we announced our company was being sold and the deal was closed on March 11th. I am officially self-employed now. The past two weeks have been high stress, emotional, and ton of work. I have worked 12 hour days for 12 days straight which left zero time to quilt and I mean ZERO. This has been the hardest part of the past two weeks as I use quilting to keep my sanity. While it has been three weeks since I posted a blog, not a lot of things have happened in my quilting world due to work life. So let’s see if I can get you updated on the good stuff! Continue reading “Quilt Diary: March Madness”
It has been a very busy two weeks since my last posting. Unfortunately, not a lot of quilting has happened with time on the road and my daughter Caitlin home visiting. She left to go skiing today for this next week. When she gets back, Shaun and I will be at the first round of hockey playoffs in Simi Valley, CA. Let’s get started with the updates. Continue reading “Quilt Diary: Updates for February 2020”
Time flies by! It has already been another week. I thought I could update you on what I have been doing this week towards my February goals. Even though this is a big travel month, I do also have some home time. I think it will end up being a very balanced month. My daughter is coming for a visit next week. She is going to watch Shaun play hockey next weekend and come home with us. Then her boyfriend will be flying up and the two of them will be skiing for a week. When she gets back, Shaun and I will be gone to another hockey tournament. Including this weekend, that is 3 weekends of hockey, hockey, hockey. There is only one weekend without hockey and luckily Caitlin will be here.
On to quilting….. Continue reading “Quilt Diary: February 2020 Goals”
As I begin this blog it is Saturday morning, February 1st. On our way to tutoring (and Starbucks), I realized I haven’t posted for awhile. I’m torn between giving a rundown on everything or sticking to one area. When I do the rundowns, they are such a long post. I keep meaning to have more posts but shorter. #sigh So far that has been a pipe dream. As the title suggests, I have decided to do the rundown on what I have done the past two weeks. Hopefully, this post will not go on and on. Continue reading “Quilt Diary: January 2020 Wrap Up”
I’m sitting in sunny Kissimmee, Florida this morning. It is 77F here with a slight breeze. A perfect day. Unfortunately, due to hockey, we do not get to take advantage of it. We have a game this afternoon and we can’t have the twelve year old running around using up all his energy. I brought my computer out to the lanai (no wait I’m in Florida so I mean patio) to stare out at the gorgeous weather and start this blog update. Back home in San Jose, CA, it is 42F and raining. I am definitely in the better spot!
