Quilting, Cross Stitch & Travel Adventures
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”Hello Everyone! The weather here is San Jose is slightly less sweltering than the last two days. Thank goodness it has at least gotten down to 70 every night. It is very rough when it doesn’t cool down even after the sun has gone down. Next week I will be heading out to Reno for the Reno Quilt Festival and visiting with friends. We haven’t decided whether we are coming home next Friday or Saturday. It is possible I might miss next Friday’s post.

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”Happy Mother’s Day to everyone. I am headed to Seattle (via train) to spend the weekend with my daughter and her In-Laws who are here from Germany. I decided on potholders as gifts for Jannes’ family, so I am furiously sewing. LOL!
It has been a pretty productive stitching week even though most nights were just a couple of hours. I think it is because I only worked on aida projects this week. I am always faster with aida and of course lower count. But several of my projects were 18 count.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #90”Happy Friday! It is a relief to have tax day behind us here in the US. Of course, being retired my return is pretty straight forward but it is still a pain in the ###. I would much rather think about all the fun things I could be doing instead! So let’s talk cross stitch today on this gorgeous spring day in San Jose.
I worked on one of my WIPGO projects this week – Year of Celebration Season 2 with one finish and one start as well as one other new start.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #87”Hello from Irvine in Southern California. We are here this weekend for States Hockey Tournament. Sadly we lost our first game. We have another tonight. 🤞
Yesterday was spent driving from Nor Cal to So Cal. I also stopped and visited one of my study group member’s from my Immersion group. Had a blast visiting her store – Phoebe Peacock. It is a combination of vintage, scent bar, tea, and spa. Loved it!
I had one start & one finish for the week although the finish isn’t a real finish, it’s this month’s stitches.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #82”The sun is shining and it is going to be an absolutely beautiful day! I will make sure to enjoy it before the next storm system. I did end up with a brief power outage of like 15 minutes on Wednesday, so not too bad compared to others in this area.
Just one finish this week.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #77”I got back last night from Gardnerville, NV. Never thought I would be the one thinking that Nevada was beautiful. The valley is just gorgeous surronded by mountains. I had blue skies coming and going. Yesterday had a lot of snow from the day before, but still a gorgeous day. Let’s jump into this week’s progress.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #75”Happy Friday everyone! Hope your week has been great. Just checking in to share this weeks stitchy projects. Let’s get started.
