The last Saturday of the month! How did this happen so soon? Goodness , how January has flown by! Don't you think?
Happy Saturday, ya'll and welcome. I am awful late posting today . The grandbabies finished out the basketball season today and of course, Mr. Pinker and I went to enjoy their games. In few short months baseball season will begin.
I have been going around around with lots of scraps and bits of blues this week, but today I only wanted to share one thing- a small quilt.
Joy at The Joyful Quilter is hosting her monthly Tablescraps Challenge. This month we were to try to use scraps and incorporate the color blue and somehow use the letters "R" , "C" or "J". I think my "Roly Poly Snowmen" fits the bill .
I used the letters "R" and "C" - Round snowmen with carrot noses.
My snowmen are made of 6 inch wonky Snowball blocks. I used scraps from the scrap bin and 1 snowman fat quarter for the border.
As Always...
Happy quilting and stitching, ya'll

DeleteRoly Poly Snowman is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI had a ball working on these , Deb. This was a fast project to whip up which I enjoyed.
DeleteSuper cute, Melisa!! Roly Poly Snowman was an unexpected way to use the letter R and those Carrot noses are a bonus in my book. Your entry for the January ABC (Table) SCRAPS Challenge is a JOY to behold! :o))
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind, Joy and I am so grateful that you are hosting such a fun challenge. I am looking forward to February's challenge.
DeleteAren't those cute?! You have the best snowman ideas, Melisa!

Thank you so much, Isabel. I have really enjoyed working on a lot of snowmen projects this winter. Have a great week. Hugs.
DeleteLove your snowmen plus blue is my favorite color!! so I especially enjoyed seeing your pretty dishes and snowflake ornament in your first picture. Would you happen to know where I could find that snowflake pattern? I don't cross stitch much anymore (sore hands) but I feel like I could stitch one like that.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Sunday! It's a bit dreary in my corner of Ohio today so (as always) your blog post cheered my right up!
Good evening, Maureen. Thank you for the sweetest compliment. You brightened my evening. The little snowflake was a gift to me years ago and I do not know who the designer is, but I think it would be a fun stitch. If I find out who designed it or where to find it I will certainly post it. Have a wonderful rest of the week, dear. Hugs.
DeleteWhat a happy quilt! I luv it!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Helen. I had so much fun working on this quilt plus it was so easy. Have a great day.
DeleteYour snowman quilt is so adorable, Melisa! Love!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Robin. I was able to whip this one up so quickly. I will certain enjoy it next year. Hugs.
DeleteMelisa, your snowman quilt is stinkin adorable. I just love him. Z☃️❤️💙☃️
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, dear Patti. These little guys were a joy to work on. Hugs.
DeleteYour roly poly snowmen are so cute Melisa! Blue is my favorite color. I was thinking of you yesterday as I run down to the dollar tree and spotted a lot of valentine and easter treasures. I think I may have to go again soon as I couldn't decide on a couple or more things to bring with me and now I regret it, hehe!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Sunday!
Hugs
Aah thank you so much, Diana. Lol. I do love the Dollar Tree. You never know what will be there. I hope you make a grand haul when you go back. Lol.
DeleteMelisa, you Roly Poly Snowmen is adorable, so happy!
ReplyDeleteI so appreciate your kind words and visit, Ivani. I will certainly enjoy this quilt next winter. It was a fun one to work on.
DeleteSuch a darling snowman quilt, Melisa! Love all the blues you used in it, too. And yes, I think this month has flown by amazingly quickly--it's been a very strange January for us weather wise! Happy February to you in three days ♥
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Carol. I agree the weather has been strange. I am hoping the weather will stay warm. Fingers crossed.
DeleteToo bad I'm not a quilter, these guys are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteAAah thank you so much, dear. They were fun to work on and whipped up in no time flat. I appreciate the sweet visit.
DeleteI love your snowman blocks Melisa! They are darling!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, dear. I have been on a snowman kick this year and I am so happy to add this little quilt to my collection.
DeleteSweet Snowman table mat! Love the different noses!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Susie. It was fun to rummage through the scrap bin and use up those teeny bits of fabric. Happy stitching and quilting.
DeleteThis bunch of "J"olly snowy guys have so much personality! So Fun!! Yes, this is the last weekend for the January blue rainbow month. You did good!
ReplyDeleteAaaah I didn't even think of Jolly Snowmen for the J. Lol Snowmen are so fun to create because it is so easy to give them quirky personalities. Have an awesome rest of the week.
DeleteWonderful how these adorable snowmen filled all the letter requirements for the challenge. Each has its own personality, so cute!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much for the sweet visit, Annie. I enjoyed the challenge very much and this was a fast fun quick at that. Thank you again for the sweet visit.
DeleteIl like them so much. Happy Mo day. Jo Elle from France
ReplyDeleteJo Elle thank you so much for the sweet visit and kind words. I had a lot of fun stitching them.
DeleteI couldn't think of anything for the letters, so I didn't make anything, but you surely did! I love them!
ReplyDeleteThe letters were a challenge wasn't they , Susan? This was a last minute project that came out better than what I thought. Happy quilting.
DeleteI was feeling some of the winter blues this week so when I watched Kristy of Daisy Fay Primitives on Floss Tube,,,,I had my answer. Stitch one of Melisa's sweet saltbox houses. I decided to stitch the same one as Kristy....Winter Saltbox. I got out my big Pinker bag.( I am sure everyone has one!!) and I started looking for something springy. I had done most of the spring saltboxes but I never got around to the Strawberry Saltbox. So that is next on my list. I do keep all of your designs in a separate bag along with scraps of fabric and a bag full of threads of different colors. It makes it so easy to pick up a chart and just start stitching. Thanks again for your generosity Melisa. It is much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteOh , Arlene. you are the sweetest!!! Thank you so much, I am so honored that one of my little designs perked you out of your winter blues. I am super excited you are going to be stitching the Strawberry Saltbox. I love that one. I hope you enjoyed Winter Saltbox. Thank you for making my day.
