It's been a very stitch-intensive week! I probably should've/could've been working on a 3-yard quilt, but I'm heading to Yellowstone this week and didn't want to leave a project in the making. So instead I headed to my wool stash to kit the patriotic project I shared last week. But I got distracted when I found this cute patriotic mini-Quaker cross stitch kit I'd ordered last year. Squirrel!
Evidently I also love small Quaker cross stitch projects, because this lovely little lavender project is also in process . . .
I did finally make it to the wool stash and prepped this project to stitch on when I travel . . .
And finally, I did pull out my Coming to America project and got some significant work done on it.
Netflix just introduced a 35 minute documentary about a quilting prison program. It was very good and I highly recommend it.
Finally, I'll leave you with this stylized portrait of me and the girls (and a few of my favorite things) that ChatGPT came up with for me . . .
Linking up with Kathy's Quilts and her Slow Sunday Stitching post.
Have a great week ... me an' Old Faithful will be hanging out!

Have a wonderful time at Yellowstone. It's really fascinating. I'm in the process of making Christmas ornaments for family - I do this every year. That's my slow stitching. I usually end up making about 15 give or take. Have a blessed Sunday.
What a nice variety of projects you have going on. I especially like the patriotic quaker. Never heard of a leap year SAL, but it sounds like a great way to approach an intensive project. Best of luck with it!
I love that Coming to America cross stitch. I have been researching my ancestors and discovered that I have Dutch ancestors that were the first settlers in upstate New York, then called New Amsterdam. It is fascingating. I like the idea of commemorating that in cross stitch. Your Quaker stitching is beautiful too.
We watched the Quilters on Netflix last night. Very moving. Lovely Quaker cross stitch projects.
Your Quaker cross-stitch designs are lovely! I especially like the first one you showed with the heart-shaped flag. Enjoy your trip to Yellowstone!
You've got some lovely projects on the go. Enjoy your trip to Yellowstone, I'd love to read about it when you get back.
All of your stitching projects are beautiful. Red, white and blue is a very fun color palette to work with, nice and bright. Enjoy your trip. Safe travels and happy stitching.
Beautiful post

Your “squirrel” cross-stitch project came out beautifully! Oh my gosh! Your second one is beautiful as well! My daughter fills her home with red, white and blue as my youngest grandson is a 4th of July baby. Your cross-stitch projects look like delicate designs. I’m not sure if that’s the right word…they are just so beautifully stitched. Your wool design is lovely! After I finish computer time, I’ll be enjoying The Quilters as I stitch. Your ChatGPT is beautiful! I think I’ll try that out! Just curious, which two audiobooks were you listening to as you finished your “squirrel”? I love to talk books. 😊
Oh, my goodness, why did I not read your post sooner? You were in Yellowstone this week?? Girl, that is only 3 hours away from us, and one of our favorite spots to "get away". Oh, I wish I had known in time to meet up with you! Kicking myself for not keeping current on blog reading.
Okay, I'm stuffing down my disappointment to say I really like that little "squirrel" kit. And your other r/w/b finish is gorgeous! And so is the lavender project! Oh, my--you have ALMOST (but not really) convinced me to pick up cross-stitch again.
So impressed that you almost have the ship ready to board on the Coming to America project.
Don't have Netflix (probably the only person you know who can say that), but the documentary looks very interesting.
I love the portrait of you and the girls. Very soft and gentle looking (well, maybe not the grey tabby's look). ;)
I hope you had a great time in Yellowstone, and saw geysers erupt, and mud pots boil, and smelled the sulphur from the hot pools, and walked some trails and saw waterfalls, and buffalo, and maybe even a bear!
I hope you enjoyed Yellowstone. We went in July. What an amazing place! I'd be happy to visit there again and again.
