Good morning, ya'll and a very Happy Wednesday to you. It has been a few weeks since I posted a "not so Wordless Wednesday" post. This week's post is of quilts photographed outdoors. Hope you enjoy.
I ripped green and black shirtings and appliqued them with primitive stitches and added some big thrifted buttons. Along the edges of the quilt I added a running stitch with 2 strands of brown floss.
Thank you for the sweet visit . Have a beautiful day and as always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, ya'll
Melisa
Thank you for the sweet visit.
Families are like quilts- Lives pieced together, stitched with smiles and tears, colored with memories and bound with love.
Hugs and Stitches!!!!🤗🧵❤
Dedicated to my baby sister, Amy. Love and miss you, Amo.
Have a wonderful day! Here we seem to have a lovely spring day with sun shining this morning and the cold air seems gone but still a bit of a chill. I am busy stitching your Spring Green Saltbox. Thanks for sharing your wonderful designs for free. Our South African exchange rate is just aweful and it is too expensive to buy overseas. Exchange rate is around R20 to the dollar. Anyway thanks once again for sharing for free.
ReplyDeleteOh I just love Spring time, Susan. It sounds like the mornings are quite beautiful and peaceful with just a bit of chill in the air in your area. I hope you are enjoying Spring Green Saltbox. It ranks in the top of my favorites that I have stitched. I have seen it stitched up in many colors as well which warms my heart. You are so very welcome, Susan .It has been a joy to create and share these humble designs. Your kind words mean so much to me and bring me great encouragement. Thank you for the sweet visit and happy stitching.
DeleteWanted to add I just love the way you show your lovely quilts outside!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you, Susan. It is fun to take them out and see them in a different setting. Hugs

Cool crisp fall mornings are so wonderful to wake up to. It has been about that around here too. I have been opening my windows and enjoying the cooler weather these last few day. Thank you so much, Donna. The flag quilt is one of my favorites from last year. Have a great week
DeleteMelisa, you amaze me with all the handwork and quilting you accomplish!!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Arlene. At times I feel as though I am spinning my wheels, but eventually I get some things completed. Happy stitching.
DeleteWhat beautiful quilts in the wild! And your Jack piece is adorable!
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Robin. I have being eyeing Lori's freebie Snowman that is similar to Jack too. He would be cute as a mini quilt.
DeleteI love all your quilts, but Top Hat Jack, I just love him. I'm going to have to make one. Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy all of your Saltbox Houses. They are fantastic. Everything that you do is so creative and free spirited. I enjoy your blog more than you know.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much for the sweetest thoughtful compliment, Lydia. You made my day. It truly means so much that you enjoy my blog for I still get butterflies every time that I post. Wishing you a blessed rest of the week. Happy stitching.
DeleteI love them all - it looks so green up your way; sadly everything's brown due to drought in Texas. Thanks for sharing these fun pictures!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much for the sweet visit. It has been a few weeks since we have enjoyed some rain, but the trees have stayed green though my flowers is another story. In some areas the leaves are slowly changing. I hope you get some rain soon. Have a very lovely week.
DeleteYour quilts are beautifully stitched and photographed. Love your version of Top Hat Jack.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Susie. Thank you so much. Have a great rest of the week.
DeleteI do love to see outdoor quilts being shown in various settings, thank you. I really like the Top Hat Jack! Have yourself a sweet day and enjoy whatever you decide to stitch! Hugs from sunny Arizona. We almost blew away on Monday afternoon, 55mile an hour winds here! My neighbor lost a beautiful saguro with 8 arms and also a tree, his front yard will be different for sure. Everthing survived in my yard, thankfully.
ReplyDeleteOh my, Mary what a blustery day that was. I am glad you and your neighbor are safe . I am sure the saguaro was very old and a heartbreaking loss. I always feel sad when I loose one of my trees in the yard- that's for sure. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteAaah thank you so much, Penny. I had a ball pulling them out and photographing them. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Jenny. I love photographing the quilts close to the bee hives. The American Flag is one of my favorites from last year. Have a great week and happy quilting.
