"I found my own true love, On blue Sunday..." The Doors
Singing the Sunday Blues. Nah! I am not blue, I have just been working on some blue quilt blocks.
Good Sunday morning, Pumpkins. How is the 2nd day of October treating you? These last few nights there has been a chill in the air.
The leaves are slowly beginning to change color in the holler and a few have fallen to the ground. Soon we will have a quilt of colorful leaves blanketing the earth.
Speaking of leaves. I finished the embroidery work in my 1st Camping block. This block commemorates when Mr. Pinker and I went camping at Oak Ridge.
The blue goose block is the 2nd Camping Block representing Goosepond where we like to camp.
Do you have a slow stitching project for Sunday? My quilting project will be Cheri Payne's Santas.
My embroidery is not fantastic. It looks like a 5 year old did it, but I am ok with that .😃 Lol I am a kid at heart.
Dear Marianne gifted me Homespun Elegances "Delivering Plenty" so for my Sunday cross stitch I am going to continue working on it. It has been my Thankful Thursday stitch, but I don't think ole' Tom turkey minds me working on him today .
You know what? It is Santa Sunday in my stitching rotation, I better choose an extra cross stitch to work on. Hmmm. ! I think I need to work on another stitch from dear Heidi at All My Scattering Moments. Today's Christmas stitch will be "Silent Night" which she posted on her blog in the Dec. 15th 2009 post.
These are the stitches that I have completed so far from Heidi.
For Design Wall Monday, I will be working on more butterfly blocks. All of the wings are stitched . Now I am adding the bodies.

DeleteLOVE those sweet Santas, Melisa!! They ALMOST make me want to take up applique. Almost, but not quite!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Joy . They were so much fun to work on. I love applique especially since I can not always make my way to the quilting room. I am so tickled that these were tempting to you though. Lol. Have a great week and happy quilting.
DeleteLove your Witchy Woman cross stitch. Is this one of your patterns or is there somewhere I can order it?
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, dear. It is one of my designs that I have been working on for a couple of years. I hope to share it this month sometime. Perhaps in the next couple of weeks when I return home from vacation. Have a wonderful week and happy stitching.
DeleteHave fun with your goals this week, Melisa! That trip sounds like a fun thing to do! I've never been to either of those states, but maybe one day!!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Brenda. I hope to get as much done as I can. I hope that you can visit those states one day; the scenery and history is amazing in both. Have a wonderful week and happy quilting.
DeleteReally love the Santa Quilt that you are doing, so cute!! I am just trying to catch up on some of my to-dos, lol, who am I kidding?! I always end up adding one more thing, the list never gets finished for me. Yours seems to be very full, congratulations on your accomplishment. Go and enjoy Nebraska and Wyoming, I especially like Wyoming. Sending you warm hugs from sunny Arizona.
