Quilting, Cross Stitch & Travel Adventures
October is over! So hard to believe that 2024 is coming to an end. It’s been a good year for me. Hope it has been good for you too. I have a few ideas of things I will be working on in 2025 but haven’t really nailed it down. Check the end for my thoughts on 2025. Let’s take a look at this past week.
This has been an exciting month since I finished both WIPGO Projects. Let’s take a look. First up:
Continue reading “Floss Friday #115”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.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #107”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.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #106”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.
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!
Continue reading “Floss Friday #101”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.
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!
Continue reading “Floss Friday #96”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.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #95”Wishing everyone a fantastic Memorial Day Weekend. Enjoy the long weekend!
It’s been a productive week being home. Worked on non creative stuff this week that need to happen which is always good. Now on to the fun stuff.
Just one new finish this week
Continue reading “Floss Friday #92”Welcome to this week’s edition of Floss Friday where I share what cross stitch projects I have been working on this week. If you follow me at all, you know that I just got back on Wednesday from taking the train to and from Seattle to visit my daughter. I tried to stitch on the train, but I got motion sick. I did do a little on the way to Seattle, but I did english paper piecing on the way home.
Let’s take a look at this weeks projects.
Not a lot of action in this category but I did manage to work in one new start.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #91”Happy Friday! After a blazing hot weekend, starting Tuesday we went from 80F to 65F. They are saying it should be a dry weekend though. I had heard on the news that we have not had back to back dry weekends since October. That seems so crazy when just a couple of years ago we were in a severe drought. I am thankful that this winter was wet but we were not drowned. Love living in Northern California.
Now to jump into sharing this last week’s stitchy projects I worked on.
I didn’t have any new starts this week but I did have two new finishes.
