To Do Tuesday #104

Hello Everyone! I am back from the quilt retreat. Whew! What fun we had at beautiful Lake Tahoe, Nevada. There was 26 of us from all over the United States. The quilter who traveled the fartherest was from Wisconsin. Lots of quilting and games was had every day along with lots of food and wine.

To Do Tuesday #101

Hello Everyone! Hope all of you who are on the West Coast are surviving this Heat Wave. It has been following me around everywhere I go. I am currently in Vancouver, Washington and it is suppose to top out at 100F today. It will start cooling off here. Unfortunately, I will be heading home tomorrow to San Jose, where the heatwave is in its second wave. Beating the heat has been a challenge.

I will be linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Come check it out.

To Do Tuesday #96

We had a gorgeous Memorial Day Weekend where we remembered our veterans ~ those who lost their lives here and abroad in defense of this great country we live in. Thank you for your service. I appreciate my freedom with every breath I take. You are remembered!

EPP DIARY: June 2021

Another month has slipped by with plenty of hockey. A matter of fact there has been so much hockey that I kind of got burnt out for a week. I took a week off and just read instead. LOL!

EPP DIARY: May 2021 Progress

Time is zipping past at the speed of light. I got my second Covid-19 shot today. In another 2 weeks, I should be 95% protected. Of course everyone wants you to keep doing the masks and everything. I just want to get back to normal and quit living in fear.

EPP DIARY: April 2021 projects

This particular post is so much faster than any of the others mostly because if you are slow stitching, you really can’t have too many ongoing projects if you actually want to finish them. I do really love English Paper Piecing. It is so satisfying seeing all those tiny stitches.

EPP DIARY: Stitchy March underway!

February was pretty busy month for hockey and travel so I feel like I got a lot done with my English Paper Piecing projects.

EPP DIARY: Ongoing Stitchy Projects for February

Still slowly making progress on all of my active projects. See below for updates. I am considering jumping in on the Millie Morsels Sew-A-Long which is a new project based on the Katja Marek’s book New Hexagon 2.

EPP DIARY: What’s Happening in 2021?

Can’t believe it’s already been a month since we last talked about my English Paper Piecing projects. I did get a lot of hockey time which equals piecing time! Although our county shut down, a couple counties away, the rinks were opened so we were able to do two weeks of hockey camp. Thank goodness!

EPP QUILT DIARY: Christmas and Other Stitching

Beginning this week, I started switching from the Halloween/Fall mode into Christmas mode. I have pulled a few projects that I would like to put together for Christmas and putting away all my Halloween projects. I will be sharing that with you.

I have been rotating which project I work on each time so now I am feeling more accomplished because I get a little done on each project. Currently I only have 4 active projects.
