Well hello, stitching friends. It has been a very slow stitching and quilting week, but I thought I would pop in with a few projects to share.
While rummaging around in the Quilt Nest, I found an old project that I worked on a few years ago called "Family is Everything". This is perfect to work on this month since I am participating in Angela's of So Scrappy's Rainbow Scrap Challenge. This month's color is green . I will have this quilted in no time and ready to hang on the wall.
Last week I showed you my Bowl of Berries block that I appliqued trying to use up my very few greens that I have in my stash.
The 2nd block I added is "Strawberry Jam" . Of course I had to add a little homemade biscuit to the block.
The 3rd block is "Strawberry Pie". Yum Yum.
I completed this block today.
Speaking of pie. This is one of Mom's pies that she makes each stawberry season. She adds a dollop of whip cream when she serves it.
Thought I would share a little country clutter. Ya'll know I love my clutter.
Here is a little colorful quilt stack on a vintage stool by my great grandma's hoosier cabinet.
In a vintage creamer is corncob dolls that my Nanny bought for my girls years ago at a craft show. They would be simple to make using scraps of cloth.
Vintage goodies on the hoosier. Layers of vintage tablecloths, doilies and chenille scraps from a bedspread.
It sure is a delight that you visited me today. I hope your weekend is filled with lots of stitching and joy and as always...
Happy quilting, ya'll
Melisa
