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 to my cross stitch blog! I was distracted this week with other crafty projects that you can check out here but still a good week. We have continued to have pretty nice weather for a February in the PNW. Starting this weekend we will be falling back into the normal February weather patterns – rain. So enjoying the last of the sunshine ☀️
Surprisingly, I have had some activity in this category with three starts and one finish.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #169”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 #167”Hello my Stitchy Friends! Welcome back to this week’s update. We have a little more variety this week so it should be fun!
No new finishes this week but I do have one new start which I was excited to work on.
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.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #165”We made it to 2026 my quilty friends! I hope you are enjoying the new year. We have had some interesting weather for this year already here in Vancouver, Washington. We have had rain, sunshine, sleet and in the mountains there was fresh powder then it rained. It all melted here. I am snug as a bug. The weather hasn’t bothered me at all.
I will linking up with Carol @ Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday Link Up. Check it out.
Continue reading “To Do Tuesday #165”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!
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?
Continue reading “Floss Friday #163”Welcome to the last To Do Tuesday post of 2025! I may have a special post either December 31st or January 1st for WIPs and/or goals. Still toying with that one. I have been working on hitting the sewing studio daily for at least 15 minutes. I think I did 4 out of 7 this week. My goal is to be physically present in the space. There is still plenty of unpacking and organizing to do as well as sewing and quilting. So not bad this week.
I will be linking up with Carol @ Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday Link Up. Join us!
Continue reading “To Do Tuesday #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?
