Well, a great big HOWDY, ya'll!!!! Welcome, sweetie pies. Please come on in and and sit a spell.
How was your weekend? I am sure very busy. Mr. Pinker and I had a very relaxing camping trip. On Saturday night, we even got to hear a bit of karoke at the pavillion. Quite entertaining, and kuddos to all who participated!👏👏 How fun! But no not this gal, I did not dream of joining in.
No quilt tops were found on this camping trip, but I did get this Amercian Patchwork and Quilting book for just fifty cents. It was published in 1985.
Look at this gorgeous Churn Dash quilt.
And love this big hexi quilt.
I also purchased Need' L Love's "Meadow Threads" and Art to Heart's "Acorn Hollow" . Lots of cutie patootie projects in these books too.
So what is on the design wall today? Well, I finished stitching another one of my blocks that I am working on for my sister. This one is called "Run Like the Wind" . Amy was always on the move that is for sure.
I hope to design a new one today. I will probably share these later on down the line when I have more of them made.
Clue 2 is available for a few more weeks for free and then Clue 3 will be given. Don't forget to check out her Youtube as well.
I am thinking it is time for another Patriotic Wordie Bowl Filler . What do ya' think? I have loads of scrap aida that just needs to whittled down into a pretty projects.
Today's Patriotic Wordie is "America" .
Click here for the jpg chart. ( Sorry the chart is so wonky! I was off when scanning)
I haven't stitched this one yet . So another project to put on the agenda.

A smile is the shortest distance between two people!
Dedicated to my dear sister, Amy. Love and miss you.
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.
Melisa your projects are so pretty and fun. Thank you for the cross stitch pattern! I love your bowl fillers. I've always enjoyed the older quilting books and magazines - that looks like a good one. I like the churn dash with the churns farther apart like that. I recently purchased an older quilt book and just love looking through it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with To Do Tuesday!
Oh thank you so much, Linda. I agree. I enjoy the older quilt books too and try to add to my collection when I can. I find so much inspiration in them and love it when they include hand quilting designs that I can use. Have a great weekend.
DeleteFun little finds--and easily brought up to current styles. I love that churn dashes are coming back. Good luck with your to-do's!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Cheree. I do love the older books and the country look and these were great thrifty finds. Have a great weekend. Happy quilting.
DeleteThat is a lot of work for the mystery, eh? I've been trimming the hourglass blocks all week long it seems... almost done!
ReplyDeleteLol it has been , Kathy. I thought I had all of my blocks completed until I went to count. Back to the sewing machine. Lol . Have a great weekend. Hope you get them all trimmed soon.
DeleteHi,

Oh thank you so much, Sherrie. I finally got another block drawn for my sister and I plan to work on the embroidery this weekend. It is one that I am taking my time on as I reflect. Have a great weekend. Hugs.
