Floss Friday – March Stats and WiP Progress

Hello and Happy Friday, Friends!

Here we are at the end of another week. My week has been action packed. We drove to Florida on Monday. Mom, my hubby and I had doctor’s appointments Tuesday morning and early afternoon. As soon as the last appointment was done, we began our drive back to North Carolina. We made it as far as Columbia, SC on Tuesday night. We drove the final 145 miles home on Wednesday. The trip was a lot longer than usual due to road construction and horrible storms.

That means I did not get quite as much stitching done as I had hoped. But before we get to this week’s progress, I’ll give you my March numbers.

I completed 6,175 cross stitches on three different projects. I finished stitching on one old WiP, Snowy Jar.

The remainder of the stitches were on the two older WiPs I am currently working on. Which brings us to this week’s update.

 

Here is where I left off on Red Bird Sampler last week…

Here is where I am today…

Here is where I left off on Memorial Day last week…

Here is where I am today…

The plan is to finish both of these during this month.

I pruned the hydrangeas yesterday. They are the kind you cut back during late winter or early spring.  We’ll see if I’ve killed them or not 😊

 

Our local farmer’s market opens on Saturday. Hubby and I will be there as soon as they open at 9:00 am to see what goodies they have to offer.

I’ll be at the sewing machine as soon as we get home. Weekends are for quilting and I really want to get my Flea Market quilt top together this month as well.

What are your plans for the weekend? You know I always want to know.

 

See you soon!

 

The Next Quilt WiP

The SAHRR quilt top, as well as my husband’s t-shirt quilt, are waiting to be quilted. In the meantime, I’m getting back to the unfinished projects I set aside when we moved… ahem… almost two years ago!

Next up is Flea Market by Lori Holt.

All the blocks are complete except the primrose blocks. I made the four brown ones a while ago.

Now I am working on the other print blocks. There will be thirty-six of those.

The fabric, book and vintage trim came in a kit from the Fat Quarter Shop. The fabrics are Lori’s Flea Market line, Bee Cross Stitch and Bee Backgrounds.

The finished quilt should measure 96 ½ x 96 ½. I’m hoping to have enough fabric to enlarge it a bit to fit our bed.

Hubby and I did a bit of decluttering and organizing over the weekend. There are two donation boxes ready to go, with more to come. We didn't get the rain we were hoping for so the fires continue. 

Enjoy the remainder of your week and I’ll see you soon.
