Happy Slow Stitching Sunday, sweetie pies. It is a beautiful rainy day in the neighborhood. A perfect time to "Dance in the Rain" .
Are you enjoying some slow stitching today? My needle and thread has been dancing along my Rainbow Sherbet Quilt this week.
I got 5 blocks completed. 15 - 20 minutes a day really is moving me along on this quilt.
I will be finishing up the quilting on Kathleen Tracy's Valentine Mini Mystery Quilt.
I began a new embroidery project . This will be another quilt in honor of my sister, Amy. Dance in the Rain is the 1st block .
Today I will continue working on the 2nd block called "Enjoy the Simple Things" .
Have a beautiful day , my sweetie pies. Hope you are dancing the day away and of course getting in some quilting and stitching in yourself. OH , Before you leave , does anybody know if it is possible to get acrylic craft paint out of 100% cotton fabric?
As always...
Happy quilting and stitching, ya'll
Melisa
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning to dance in the rain!!

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 needle workers to meet.

DeleteAs for the craft paint, I think it is possible if it doesn’t sit too long. I would first try soap and water then soaking in oxiclean. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Lesley. I will be getting some oxiclean to keep on hand and will definitely give it a try . Fingers crossed. I so appreciate your advice and the kind visit. Have a wonderful week, my dear.

DeleteI have to tell you that when I was 6 years old, I took tap dancing lessons. At my fist dance recital, our class danced to “Raindrops keep falling on my head”. I was so excited ..we danced while holding umbrellas! Enjoy your stitching this week.
ReplyDeleteAaah that is such a heart warming memory. I bet ya'll did have a great time twirling the umbrellas. Lol all kids like umbrellas. Thank you so much for the visit and for making me smile with the sweet memory. That just made my day.
DeleteDance in the rain is so sweet and the second one too.
ReplyDeleteFinally here 3 sunny days in a row.
Happy quilting and Stitching, Melisa.
I bet you sure are enjoying the sunshine, Ivani. Spring will be here soon. Thank you so much for the kind words on my blocks. I am really enjoying them. Have a great weekend. Happy quilting.
DeleteNot sure how to get acrylic paint out of cotton, I'm sorry! What a beautiful, tender way to remember your sister, Amy. Those blocks are lovely.
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, dear. I may just have to live with it or applique something over the smidge of paint.Lol. I am enjoying every minute of working on these blocks. Have a great weekend and happy quilting.
DeleteDancing in the Rain is a term that I have not heard in a long while. Sweet photo, perhaps a Little Golden Book illustration. I have a few LGB and the art work is sweet. Your embroidery block is perfect. Looking forward to other embroidered blocks.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Jill. My sister was the type to Dance in the rain so it reminds me a lot of her. Lol. I love LGB illustrations too especially the early ones. I collect them and old children's text books . It is fun to see the illustrations Have a great weekend. Happy quilting.
DeleteI love your Dancing in the Rain embroidered block. Is it your own design? As for getting the paint our of fabric, if it's not that big a splotch and doesn't come out in the wash, could you perhaps applique a butterfly, flower or a bird to hide it?
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Dolores; that is my own design. I hope to make a few blocks for a quilt for about my sis. That is a great idea. I believe that is what I will have to do. I got a smidge of paint on a little quilt and have trying my best to get it out. Thank you for the suggestion and for the sweet visit. Happy quilting.
DeleteYou are making good progress on the hand stitching front. Hope this week was as good.
ReplyDeleteOh, I like the Amy quilt. Thank you for sharing that, I know it is so personal.
