Quilting, Cross Stitch & Travel Adventures
Hello from Seattle! I meet the German In-Laws. As expected everyone was very nice. They have a packed schedule trying to squeeze in as much as possible in their trip. I gave them the potholders that I finished hours before boarding the train on Friday (đ). They seemed to be a hit. I got German chocolate in return from their hometown. I havenât tried it yet, but I do love chocolate.
The plan is to linkup with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt this week.
Continue reading “To Do Tuesday #94”Happy Motherâs 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 Jannesâ 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”Hello Everyone! The sun is out and shining here after a weekend of rain. Love the clear blue skies. I am running around like a chicken with their head cut off as I am preparing for Amtrak trip to Seattle to meet my daughterâs future in laws. We were chatting and the mom really liked the quilt I had given her son and the other quilts that my daughter has of mine. She even asked if she could have one. I asked Caitlin should I bring one? She said they didnât have room to get it home so probably not. So I sit here wondering should I take one anyway just in case? Should I make something small like potholders? Decisions. Decisions. I leave in 3 days. Whew!
Continue reading “To Do Tuesday #93”Happy Friday Everyone! We have a gorgeous bluebird day today with predictions of rain tomorrow. Donât you love Spring? Sunny and warm one minute; cold and rainy the next.
I did not realize until I was checking my stitching calendar that I had one finish and one start.
Whew! Finding these photos was a chore. A few years ago I didnât do a good job labelling my photos. I wanted to show how I have finished this Letâs Talk Series when I finished the framed chart in April. I look forward to finishing all of these! I love these colors!
Continue reading “Floss Friday #89”Can you say road trip?! I got back last night from a road trip to Paso Robles, California. Such a fun area. I enjoyed every moment.
It was super fun to hang with old colleagues as we celebrated the life of Spencer Keiser another friend and colleague.
Continue reading “To Do Tuesday #92”Happy Friday! After a blazing hot weekend, starting Tuesday we went from 80F to 65F. They are saying it should be a dry weekend though. I had heard on the news that we have not had back to back dry weekends since October. That seems so crazy when just a couple of years ago we were in a severe drought. I am thankful that this winter was wet but we were not drowned. Love living in Northern California.
Now to jump into sharing this last weekâs stitchy projects I worked on.
I didnât have any new starts this week but I did have two new finishes.
Continue reading “Floss Friday #88”Welcome to this week of To Do Tuesday where I will share all of my quilty goodness that I worked on last week and what I hope to accomplish this week. I plan to link up with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt. Jump over and check out her site and her To Do Tuesday linkup.
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 letâs 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”Welcome Back! Once again I will be linking this post with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt. Thank you Carol for hosting To Do Tuesday! If you have not already, come join us or just take a look around at all the great projects. While most of the projects are quilty, they can be anything.
Hi Everyone! It has been a crazy week like usual. I keep waiting for a boring week and it just never comes. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Who knows. It is just life. I really wouldnât change a thing!
As you all know, I was in Seattle last weekend. I got to see my brother Scott. We were trying to pinpoint the last time we SAW each other and we think it was the summer of 2022. Meanwhile, we do talk often as well as having several group chats with different members of the family. I just love how connected we stay. Oh and he is great at enabling me with my interests. He was fascinated with my current class – Immersion 2024 which is a surface pattern design class using Adobe Illustrator.
Letâs take a look at all my stitchy projects from this week.
