Quilting, Cross Stitch & Travel Adventures
Friday was a busy day so I am running a wee bit behind getting this up. Thank you for allowing me to share what I have been working on this week in my cross stitch world. Let’s jump in.
No new finishes this week but I did get started on two more from the planned 9 starts for this month.
October is over! So hard to believe that 2024 is coming to an end. It’s been a good year for me. Hope it has been good for you too. I have a few ideas of things I will be working on in 2025 but haven’t really nailed it down. Check the end for my thoughts on 2025. Let’s take a look at this past week.
This has been an exciting month since I finished both WIPGO Projects. Let’s take a look. First up:
Continue reading “Floss Friday #115”Last Friday of October already. Honestly this week has felt like the last week of October but I still have 7 more days of October! How exciting. The November WIPGO projects are out and we will take a peek. By default, that means we know the December projects as well. I have chosen not to go there. I am excited about winding down October and starting on November. Let’s get started!
The goal each month is to work on the project at least five times or have a finish.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #114”Welcome back! Not as many projects this week but some nice progress towards my goals.
After having days of overcast and windy, it is nice out today with a high of 77F. Very nice fall weather. Perfect Fall day. Guess that is why I am finding so much joy stitching autumn and halloween this month.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #113”Welcome to another week of cross stitch. I have to write this post on Thursday because tomorrow is a Quilting Zoom Day and then I will be off to Monterey for the weekend. Things are going great and I am super happy with all my progress. I have things to do so let’s get started.
One finish and one start this week. Is that awesome or what?!
Continue reading “Floss Friday #112”The heat wave that started on Monday peaked on Wednesday but is still with us through the weeked. Welcome Autumn! I expect next week I will be complaining about being cold. 😝 Hopefully you all are enjoying your October. Can you believe it is here already!?
It has been a fairly productive and fun week. Yesterday I received happy mail from 123 Stitch so I spent the afternoon kitting up the next in two series I am working on: Santa’s House (Fabulous House Series) and Winter Baskets (Triple Play Pillows series). I finished so many projects in September that I had a pile of floss that had to inventoried and put away. It sure felt good to complete that task!
Continue reading “Friday Floss #111”Welcome back my friends. It has been an unexpected productive week. That makes it an exciting week. Let’s take a look!
This week I was able to finish TWO projects! So exciting.
How fast this week went. I had a great time in the Redding area. I found a quilt shop and visited Lassen Volcanic National Park. I even got in a 3 mile hike while I was at Lassen.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #108”Happy Friday! How is your first Friday in September shaping up? It is going to be another hot one here in San Jose, California. We have a nice little breeze which is helping cool it off a tad. It is still 90+ but should be breaking the current heat wave this weekend. Just in time for me to head to Redding on Monday into 90+ weather again. LOL! I am looking forward to this quick little jaunt north. Plan on going to Lassen National Park one day at least. Breakfast and dinner will be with my daughter Caitlin who is going to be working in Redding on a project for work all week. It will be good to see her.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #107”Welcome to this week’s edition of all my stitchy projects. I have mixed feelings with the week. I feel like I really got things done, but not quite what I originally planned 😂. Big surprise there. My assistant was VERY helpful this week keeping me focused and in one place.
