Monthly Square Dance series – Quilts & Adventures

Floss Friday #196

Hello my Stitchy Friends! It has been another crazy busy week! Home only for a few days before heading off for my next trip. Just one more after this one and one class then I can settle into a nice rhythm for a month or two. (LOL!) 😂

Floss Friday #195

Welcome back my Stitchy friends! I am travelling today to Kentucky via Nashville. I am not sure if this will really post on Friday or if it will end up being on Saturday.

I have a lot to share today as I forgot to share the September WIPGO last time I posted in August. Which means this is my first time posting in September where I share the results of August WIPGO. I am going to tackle these first.

Welcome back my Stitchy Friends! Should be a quick update. I havenot worked on alot of projects this week. So let’s get to it.

Starts & Finishes

I have a few to share with you.

Floss Friday #183

Welcome back my stitchy friends! How is the last day of spring been for you? We have overall had a very mild spring with days in the 50s and days in the 80s. Some rain and some sunshine. Perfect spring weather. Right now we are in a rainy phase. This morning when I got up it was pouring cats and dogs. This afternoon I see peeks of blue skies between the white fluffy clouds and the grey stormy clouds. Wait five minutes and it could change!

May WIPGO Results

I am happy to say I finished both of my May WIPGO goals and made some progress on those old April and January goals.

Floss Friday #179

Welcome back to Floss Friday where I share my cross stitch projects. It has been another busy week with life happening left and right. I ended up missing getting any quilting done (until today) as well as missing my To Do Tuesday blog. #sigh. I had nothing to share. Days went fast and before I knew it, it was evening. Still needed to cook and eat dinner, so even my stitching time was abbreviated. I did work on projects.

Let’s start with a WIPGO update.

Results of April WIPGO

April was a WIPGO heavy month but short on time to complete those goals.

Floss Friday #175

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!

Starts & Finishes

I had two finishes this week! That got me a little pumped!

Floss Friday #173

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.

Starts & Finishes

Just one new start for this week.

START: August Square Dance by Heart in Hand

I got a good start on the next in this series that I am working up as one yearlong banner. The theme is beehives. 🐝.

WIP Updates

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.

Floss Friday #172

Hello Stitchy Friends! Another update on what I have been up to this week on my cross stitch projects. Felt like a good week!

Starts & Finishes

I had a couple of starts and one finish this week. Hard to believe we have transistioned into March already!

FINISH: July Square Dance by Heart in Hand

Floss Friday #171

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.

Starts & Finishes

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.

Floss Friday #163

Welcome to 2026! I finished off December 31st trying to make it through my December goal list. Unfortunately, while I worked on EVERY project left, I did NOT make my goals. So I focused on my December WIPGO projects as that is the whole reason to have WIPGO projects. Total win there!

2025 Project Recap

WIPs as of January 1st = 21
Starts = 52
Finishes = 39
WIPs as of December 31st = 34

Zero Final Finishes (FFO)

I thought about doing a post for 2025 ending / 2026 beginning WIPs but decided that instead I would create a page for it instead. You can visit the page anytime view the top menu. I did mention I was going to shake things up this year right?
