Quilts & Adventures

Floss Friday #184

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!

Starts & Finishes

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.

To Do Tuesday #184

Hello my Quilty Friends! Thanks for stopping by to check on what I worked on this week. It has been another light quilting week but I am happy to share. The plan is to link up with Carol @ Quilt Schmilt for another To Do Tuesday linkup. Come join us.

Floss Friday #183

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!

May WIPGO Results

I am happy to say I finished both of my May WIPGO goals and made some progress on those old April and January goals.

To Do Tuesday #183

Welcome back my quilty friends! While it has been a busy week, not much quilting happened. I never made it upstairs to my studio all week. BUT lucky for me, I had my english paper piecing hanging out with all my cross stitch projects.

I will be linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt again this week. Click on link above to go to her website. Look for To Do Tuesday blog posts to check out last week’s. But for the real fun, click on Linkup to check out everyone’s websites!

Floss Friday #182

Welcome back my stitchy friends! Wow! It has been an eventful two weeks. I had the cross stitch retreat hosted by 141 Design Company and travel home. I would love to tell you that I got a ton of stitching. Well… I talked more than I stitched. LOL! Of course isn’t that what retreats are for. Let’s take a look at my weeks.

Starts & Finishes

No finishes this last two weeks but I do have to new starts. I hope to finish one more project and start another. Keep your fingers crossed.

To Do Tuesday #182

Welcome back my quilty friends. I hope everyone in US enjoyed the Memorial Day weekend. Here in the PNW it was a beautiful weekend. Well until Monday when we had the normal rain. My daughter was off camping with her husband of one year. Hard to believe they have been married a year. I hand the grand fur babies to keep an eye on. Since they are cats, they are easy. They greeted me with lots of love even though they prefer mom and dad.

While I had all these great plans to sew this weekend, I ended up spending the weekend reading. I finished 3 books over four days. I am almost caught up with my reading goal of 2026. I want to read/listen to 100 books this year. Before I started my weekend, I had TWO quilt zooms on Friday! I also spent most of Monday english paper piecing. So excited to share the results with you.

To Do Tuesday #181

Welcome back my quilty friends. I apologize for missing last week’s post. The week got away from me as real life interfered. Part of that real life was not one but TWO quilt zoom days. I am excited to share what I worked on with you!

But first – I am planning on linking up with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt this week for the To Do Tuesday. As always, I invite you to visit and see what everyone is working on. Better yet, join us.

Floss Friday #181

Welcome Back Stitchers! It has been a busy week and I missed my quilty post on Tuesday so I will be setting that up for next week if you are a quilty follower. Today I am in Michigan for 141 Designs Spring Break Retreat and I am excited to be here. I got in late Wednesday night and the retreat starts on Thursday. I know I won’t have time because I will be having too much fun to actually write this on Friday. So here I am on Thursday typing up this post for tomorrow.

Floss Friday #180

Welcome back for some cross stitch goodness! Last week we went in depth on my Cross Stitch WIPGO results for April (and past month goals) as well as to diving into the May WIPGO projects. I was pretty focused this week and went with finishing a goal before moving onto the next project goal. I know..a little unusal for me. It is just where my head was this week. I feel good with the results.

Let’s jump in.

To Do Tuesday #180

Welcome back my quilty friends. It has been two weeks since I posted. Not much happened two weeks ago and very little happened this week either. Life has been happening around here including a gorgeous weekend spent sitting in my backyard reading books!
