Blame It On the Rain!!!

 Good afternoon ya'll. Brrr! It is cold outside. A perfect day  to cuddle up with your favorite quilting or stitching  project. But first,  we are going back in time- all the way to 1989 !!!😃🎸🥁 Ya'll remember the group!!! Milli Vanilli. Sing with me !!!  🎤

🎵🎵🎵Blame it on the rain (yeah yeah)   🎵🎵🎵

Go on and blame it on the rain
'Cause the rain don't mind
And the rain don't care
You got to blame it on something...

You can blame it on the rain
Blame it on the rain
Blame it on the rain baby

(Blame it on the rain yeah yeah)   🎵🎵🎵

Lol , I know . I know. You are saying what is she carrying on about now. Lol. Well, I am just about to make some excuses for one of my first blocks for the RSC challenge.   😃😏😳

This months' color is Red!!!! 

Oh, you know me! I just love, love, love Red and am super excited about this month's color !!!❤❤❤ 

As soon as I read that red was the color, I hopped , skipped and jumped to the Quilt Nest to work on a new block - A super easy one Chimneys and Cornerstones.  Ok, before you look at it, get on a horse and start galloping by because I do not want to you to look too close. 

 I am "Blaming it on the Rain " though. It was  storming when I was piecing. ⛈🗲🌩😆Lol. 

Now you would think that I could piece this block blindfolded, but I can not tell you how many times I ripped out my stitches and still my corners do not meet. I even ripped my fabric. But oh no! That was not going to stop me. Those blocks were going to be pieced.

 So it's a little wonky ! Oh well. I will just keep singing and go on to the next block. 😃🎵📻 and our next tune-  back to 1983 with "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun " By Cyndi Lauper. 

🎵🎵🎵Oh girls, they wanna have fun
Ho hoo girls just wanna have
That's all they really want
Is some fun
When the workin' day is done
Oh girls, they wanna have fun🎵🎵🎵 

So I have gathered a bowl full of fabrics and I'm on to the next project. 

More chicken blocks and a red egg basket block.

This little vintage children's book provides inspiration. 

Little Red Hens- "You make me so  happy. "

Now on to a thrifty find. 

I purchased this stamped cross stitch at the Goodwill a few weeks ago for just $1.00.  It reminded me of the grandbabies and their love of going fishing with their Pappy. Love that red frame. 

This is the cross stitch I hope to finish this weekend. Reds in it too-- It's another crock stitch. 

I am so grateful that you stopped by for a little visit. I hope these little ditties are not humming in your head all evening. 😀😅 Lol they will be  in mine.  As always...

Happy quilting, ya'll
