Welcome, ya'll!

Hello and welcome to my blog. For many years, I have admired others' blogs and have wanted to write one myself and so here I am jumping in. I hope to be sharing my love for quilting, cross stitching and all of the other crafty adventures I enjoy. So here goes!

Can you believe it is June already? So I pulled out some old stitching to place on the buffet  which included With Thy Needle and Thread's "June Word Play " and Lizzie Kate's "A Bit of June. These are some of my earlier pieces of stitching and finishing. I finished them in thrift store frames and embellished them with a little ribbon and buttons. Behind them  are little treasures that I have collected over the years including my blue transferware which is in an old scale. The quilt hanging up is my Sybil Ludington quilt  that I  designed and quilted years ago.  

 



Well that is a wrap for my 1st trial blog post. 

Happy Stitching, ya'll
Melisa

  1. So happy to see you have a blog now! I think you will really enjoy it! I look forward to all your posts because you have the most lovely things to share! This is a very beautiful display and so many wonderful things to look at. Your background quilt is very beautiful. I really need to make a patriotic themed quilt for myself. I have made a few for gifts, but none for myself.

  2. Aah thank you, Chari. This is going to be a learning experience. I hope to get the hang of it. I hope you do decide to create a patriotic quilt soon. I loved seeing the fabrics that you may use in the FQS Quilt SAL on your latest flosstube. I know you are dyeing to play with those lovely fabrics.

  5. Melisa, I just read backward to this point and loved seeing your progress over the last few months! I have a long-neglected blog site that I should probably try & breathe some life into one of these days. :) You are so talented and so incredibly generous to share all your cuteness - charts, quilts, and displays - with the stitching community. Your enthusiasm is very contagious, to say the least, and I appreciate it no end! Thank you for encouraging your Instagram followers to come over & find you here - I'm so glad I did. -- Jani (@VintagePinker on IG)
