Quilting, Cross Stitch & Travel Adventures
Hello my Stitchy Friends! This is being published late on Sunday (instead of Friday). The week has been a full week of activities. Busy. Busy. Busy again…
No new starts or finishes for this week. So moving on to WIPs.
Moving on to my WIPs…. I ended up stitching my WIPGO projects twice this week and am ready to share how far I got so far.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #200”While this will post back dated (because I can), I am actually working on this Sunday morning. I do not know how the week got away from me. My personal To Do list has been so long for this week and I have been frantically trying to catch up after more than a month of travel. I leave Monday for my last trip (I think) for 2026. Pesky things like bills, taxes, food, laundry, etc all needed doing. When all I want to do is continue the fun I had creating at the quilt retreat. So…
Welcome back my Stitchy Friends! I worked really hard on trying to finish my September WIPGO projects and I did! I can’t wait to share the progress.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #198”Hello Stitchy Friends! The quilt retreat has gone well and today is a travel day back home. So hopefully, I can finish this post tonight, if not then Saturday. 🙈. With so much quilting, cross stitch time was pretty limited. Let me share what I did do this week.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #197”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.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #195”Welcome my Stitchy Friends! It has been a pretty good week. Still busy but found some stitching time. I just want to share with you everything. But first ✋🏼 Let’s take a look at the results of last month’s WIPGO.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #191”This past week was another full week of learning. This time I took a 3 day class in Portland to “Master” my new Bernina 990. That’s sewing and this post is about cross stitch. I only mention it because it meant that I was in traffic for an hour every morning and 90-120 minutes. When I got home, I had homework to do for the next day. By the time I finished my homework, I had enough time to eat and go to bed so I could do it all over again the next day. Not a lot of stitching happened.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #190”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.
I have a few to share with you.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #187”Welcome back my Stitchy Friends! The week just flew by for me. I had a couple of down days this week. Got caught up doing home stuff and too tired to pick up any projects. Otherwise it has been a good week!
Dispite my distractions this week, I have had two finishes that I want to share with you.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #186”Welcome back Stitchy Friends! Excited to watch the USA play Paraguay in the World Cup tonight. It will be a weekend full of World Cup games and time for stitching. Love it!
Just in case you were wondering. For me a start is when I start a new CHART. Some projects have multiple charts and I consider them a seperate project because I don’t have to stitch all of them. I am doing quite a few series and each is a seperate chart so seperate project even if I decide to do them as one larger project. This thought process evolved to help keep me motivated and keep up momentum.
On the other hand, when I finish stitching a CHART, I am calling it a finish. This is not to be confused with FFO (Final Finished Object) which when they happen for me end up in its own category. I am just horrible about that final step so you don’t see that here often.
With that said, I had a couple of starts this week.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #184”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!
I am happy to say I finished both of my May WIPGO goals and made some progress on those old April and January goals.
