Happy, happy Saturday,
May I greet you with a little nursery rhyme?
I never saw purple cow
I never hope to be one
But I can tell you anyhow,
I would rather see than be one - Gelett Burgess
Lol isn't that the cutest? I always loved that rhyme. Why the Purple Cow rhyme you ask ? Well this month's color is Purple in the RSC or Rainbow Scraps Challenge with Angela at So Scrappy.
So I have trucked in a few purples from the Quilt Nest to come up with something in order to stay in the game. 💜😀 Perhaps a Purple Cow applique? Who knows. Lol
No, purple cow in my collection.
Hmmm Maybe I do need a purple cow! Oh goodness !😆🐄💜🐮
Speaking of Purple Cows - Doesn't this sound yummy!
I did pull out on old UFO to quilt on .This was a small quilt that I made in 2004 when I was in mourning over the passing of my grandmother.
It will be a hard one to work on, but it does need to be finished.
To tell you the truth, there is not much excitement going on in the Quilt Nest. I have churned out a few rail fence blocks from 1 1/2" scraps but that is about all.

If you check out my last post, you will find links to other bee stitches that I have offered, and yep, there is more quick stitches to come.
Well I am going to buzz off here. I am tickled pink that you visited me today or should I say "tickled purple" since that is this month's color. 😀 Have a beautiful day and as always...
Happy stitching, ya'll
Melisa
I am joining these lovely ladies' link parties. I hope you check them out; they always have so many wonderful projects going on and provide the opportunity for other needleworkers to meet.

I love how you find such need things at the Dollar Tree. I'll keep looking at ours - maybe one of the boxes or trays will show up!
ReplyDeleteSo glad someone else puts together blocks with no real thoughts about what to do with them. I have lots of blocks in storage and they sit and sit, waiting for me to decide what to di with them!
Thank you for the new cross stitch patterns,
Aah thank you so much Donna for the sweet visit. I have been impressed how the Dollar Tree has been getting in some crafty supplies. I hope yours does soon too. Sometimes ours is a hit or a miss though. Lol I am the same way accumulating lots of little blocks for a future quilt projects. I can not tell you how many four patches I have. Maybe one day they will find their way into a quilt. Lol. Happy stitching and quilting.
DeleteI adore your bee accessories!!!
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Nancy. I have a bee quilt that is stalled . I do not know what to do with it, but hopefully I will get some inspiration soon. Happy quilting.
DeleteYes you need a purple cow!! The little bee hive home stitchery is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Penny. I have always wanted to have a cow quilt. I did find a pattern here recently. I have noticed cows are coming back in style in decor. Lol. Have a lovely day.
DeleteThanks so much once again! Hope you have a lovely day. 🐝
ReplyDeleteI so appreciate your sweet comment, Sharon. You are so kind. I hope you have a very lovely day as well.
DeleteAs usual, your decorations are lovely! It's so nice you have a quilt to remember you grandmother, she'd be very happy you're quilting on her 'quilt.I look forward to seeing the purple cow, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Gretchen. I have completed 2 large quilts for both of my grandmothers. I hope this small one will soon be added to those completed. Have a lovely week.
DeleteMelisa, this is adorable. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Robin. I feel like I did not get much done this week, but I guess every little bit counts. Have a lovely week. Hugs

ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much Mary Ann for the sweet visit and compliment. I hope that you come back for a visit. I post pretty regularly and always enjoy visitors. Have a lovely week.
DeleteThere's a purple cow out there somewhere with your name on it! Also, do you ever sleep? ;O)
ReplyDeleteLol I am keeping me eye out for that purple cow. I have to admit that I keep odd hours but I do sneak in a few hours of sleep. I wish I did not have to do that sleep thing though. Lol. Think of all of the quilting and stitching we could get done if we just didn't have to sleep. Thank you so much, dear for the sweet visit.
DeleteBest of luck on finishing your sweet PURPLE memory quilt, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much for the encouragement. I really need and appreciate it. Have a very lovely week.
DeletePas de magasins Dollar Tree en France, mais j'arrive à trouver des petites choses dans d'autres..

Merci pour ce charmant nouveau modèle.

Aah thank you so much, Christel. I hope you have a favorite store that you like to visit for crafting supplies. I live in a rural area and just have a couple of stores to go to but it is fun searching for finishing pieces. Have a lovely week.
DeleteLots of fun stuff here! I like your cow collection. Are a couple of those creamers???
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Cathy for the sweet visit. Most of those are creamers and most are Pioneer Woman. Two of them are salt and pepper shakers. It is fun trying to find the little creamers at a reasonable price. Have a very blessed week.
DeleteI have a cow collection!! I'd be a purple cow!
ReplyDeleteI love collecting cows too. I am so thrilled to see that more and more are starting to decorate with cows again. A purple cow would be pretty cool .Lol. Thank you so much, dear for the sweet visit and comment.
DeleteI always enjoy visiting your happy blog, full of such interesting things. The purple milk shake sounds rather nice. Perhaps now is the right time to complete the lovely little block you made to remember your grandmother, just take it slowly and think of happy memories.
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much , Jenny for the sweet encouragement on my grandmother's quilt. I can not tell you how many times that I have had it in the hoop and then take it out. I was a grandma's girl. lol. Have a very lovely week filled with blessings.
