Floss Friday – A Cross Stitch Update

Happy Good Friday!

There has been a little stitching happening over the last week. Most of my creative time has been spent piecing quilt backs and pressing quilt tops in preparation for the long-armer. But here is what I have today…

 

Progress on an old WiP

Memorial Day by Hands on Design

I finished the cross stitches in the second flag and started the third. There is back stitching in the flags that will be added at the end.

New Start

Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow by Carriage House Samplings


I stitched the border and two letters in the first block. As I mentioned before, this will be a long-term project.


We travel to Florida again soon. I’m spending all my time between now and then preparing quilts for the long-armer. And since I won’t be sewing on the trip, I’ll bring a couple of cross stitch projects to move along. (Maybe the house sitters can take over some projects?!?)

 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and if you celebrate, Happy Easter!

Oh Jeanna, your stitch is looking amazing and wonderful start on the Hawk Run Hollow. I look forward to following you on this one. I had to giggle when you said that maybe your house sitter could take up some of your projects. I have been known to throw a few hints at my daughter to help me move some projects along. LOL. Have a wonderful weekend , a very Happy Easter and a safe trip. Hugs.

Every stitch counts - even if it's just a border! Both of these are moving along. Getting quilts ready for the long-armer is always a big job. Hope you're almost done with that chore, Jeanna!

Hoping you had a nice Easter as well. Your cross stitching looks fabulous. I have some that needs to be finished also.

Happy & safe travels. The Mexican Oregano is not shipped until May 5. According to what I have read it has more citrus notes and licorice. It differs from the basic Oregano. Looking forward to receiving it, and using the dried leaves.
