Quilting, Cross Stitch & Travel Adventures
Hello my stitchy friends! It has been a wet and busy week. It was nice to find some time to stitch and unwind. I can not believe how fast February is flying by!
No new starts or finishes for this week.
Made some great progress this week. Let’s take a look.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #170”Welcome back my Stitchy Friends! Here we are in the first week of February already. The weather here in the PNW has been absolutely gorgeous reaching as high as 60. Very unusual this time of the year, but enjoying each every sunny day. It has been a very busy and productive week so lets get started
No new starts this week, but I had a surprise finish.
This was stitched on 16 ct pewter aida with the called for Colour & Cotton floss. I really like working with quaker patterns. This was just fun seeing all the hand stitching items for cross stitch, hand sewing, embroidery, etc. The bees were a nice touch of symbolism.

Continue reading “Floss Friday #166”Welcome back my Stitchy Friends! We have had lots of sunshine here in the Pacific Northwest. I am totally enjoying every moment. How about you? My evening stitching time has been abbreviated this week due to life. I missed one night altogether because I was finishing a book. 📖
I ended up with no new starts or finishes. Although I did spend a day going through all of my projects I had pulled for January to figure out what comes next. I have a total of 4 friendstitch projects from December. I have decided to start three of them this month. Two are quite small and can be finished fairly quickly. They may rollover to February.

The week went fairly well if a bit disorganized. 🤪 Not sure what is going on there. I have sketched out my plan for January, but haven’t found the time to organize it. So I ended up focusing on my WIPGO projects this past week. Here we go….
I surprised myself with a finish this week – only one – and no new starts. (That is not a surprise. 🤪)
Continue reading “Floss Friday #164”Can you believe this is our last Friday of 2025?! It has been a year of new beginnings for myself and I am loving all of it. How about you? I hit all of my major goals, but missed a lot of little goals. Overall a great year!
December goals were a wee bit ambitious and then I went and took off for a week. 🤪. Total derailment but it sure has been fun trying to hit them anyway. The past week went pretty good overall. You want to see?
Continue reading “Floss Friday #162”Hello My Stitchy Friends. Welcome to this week’s update on my cross stitch projects. I appreciate you stopping by. While I did not stick to my plan, I had a good week. Let’s dive in.
No new finishes but I do have one start. I was definitely feeling festive.
Hello My Stitchy Friends. Sorry about missing a week. If you follow me, then you are aware I had an impromptu trip to California to wrap up family matters and to finalize my move from California to Washington. My shoulders feel so much lighter now that everything is done.
Unfortunately, the lighting was terrible in my hotel room where I was staying. Plus I messed up on my project and was unable to successfully unstitch. Finally decided it was not worthy destroying the fabric. Let’s get to it so you can see!
I would love to say I hit all of my WIPGO goals for November, but unfortunately, that would be a no. BUT I did good.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #160”Hope all my American friends had a great Thanksgiving yesterday. Mine was awesome. Good company. Good food. I did have a bit of a food coma afterwards. Rained most of the day but since I never had to leave the house, it didn’t bother me much. Hope all of you had a great holiday!
Overall, this was a good stitching week. I even finished one of my WIPGO goals for November. With just 3 days left, I hope to finish my second goal. Let’s take a look at this week’s projects.
