Mason Jar Monday and Heart & Home- A Itty Bitty Valentine Freebie

Good morning, sweeties. Welcome. Today is going to be another slow day at home. Well I shouldn't say slow. I have plenty to do. Don't we all? Lol. Let's just say, I am not going anywhere or doing anything super exciting.

 For the last few weeks, Mondays have been Mason Jar Monday's for me. I am working on a scrappy mason jar quilt.  These are my first two blocks. 

Using bits and pieces from the scrap bin.  Last week , I finished my sheep jar.

 Today I hope to work on a new one. I have to draw it out first though. 


Do you enjoy a good mystery? Well Kathleen Tracy of  A Sentimental  Quilter is conducting a mystery quilt along. 

A mystery. Lol. I am all in especially since it is a little quilt. . Fabrics are  cut. 

 And in 2 shakes of a lamb's tail hour glass blocks were made. Eeeh ! I'm looking forward to this week's clues. 

Last night I worked on an itty bitty stitch. For me and itty bitty stitch is anything less than a design size of 30 x 30. 

      

It is called Heart &   Home. I finished it on a little box plaque/ frame that I got at the Dollar Tree.

 

Super quick stitch and  finish. 


I am going to work on another today using the same heart  but filling in the center with another motif.   

If you are interested in this itty bitty stitch, just click on the link below, choose you favorite floss colors and go to town on it. 😀

  5. Your mason jar blocks are so cute! I enjoy seeing them every week. And a cute cross-stitch design, too - you're making me want to try that craft again - I haven't done it in many years.

    1. Aah thank you so much, Diann. I am really enjoying working on the mason jars. Sorta flying by the seat of my pants with this project, but loving every minute of it. Oh I wish you would give cross stitch a try again. Lol but it becomes addictive too. Happy quilting.

    2. Melisa, your Mason Jar Quilt is going to be a cutie!! You keep me so busy trying to figure out what to do next, I need another 8 hours a day to finish up my goals. I love it, however, keep it up. So many good ideas in the pretty little head of yours. Sending many warm hugs to you from Arizona.
