Happy Tuesday , ya'll. It was just a few short days ago that we had a rootin tootin ' Valentine's parade of stitches and doodles that I have shared in the past.

If you see any that you are interested in knowing more, about click on the colored text ,and you will magically be taken back to that post. I hope you enjoy.

SEWING THEMED
Can you guess which are the most popular? Well #1 is Crow Creek Saltbox which was my 1st saltbox.
#2 Spring Green Saltbox
#3 Aunt Bea's Summer House
It is always hard for me to choose a favorite particularly since so many of them are named after my family members, but as of right now - Dorothy Mae's Spring House, The Strawberry Saltbox, and Susan's Summer House rank high in my heart.
If I have missed any of the houses that should be in the parade, please let me know.
Thank you so much for stopping by and looking at my little village.Have a wonderful day, Sweeties.
As always...
Happy quilting and stitching, ya'll
Hugs and Stitches!!! 🤗❤🧵
Un très grand merci. J’aime très fort de travailler par mois / par saisons
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, dear. I am a seasonal stitcher as well. I so appreciate that you stopped by for a visit. Happy stitching.
DeleteFirst of all, I love them all and stitching these houses give me much joy. I have now finished 15 of them. Aunt Bea's Summer House is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for all your work making these patterns for us available.
I am so honored that you have stitched so many of my humble homes, Annelies. That truly means so much to me especially since you enjoy them so. Aunt Bea's is such a cheery home.I think that is why it is one of my favorites as well. Thank you so much for making my day . Have a blessed day.
DeleteThe houses are all so cute! One of these days you're going to suck me into the counted cross stitch craze! Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Gretchen. I have had a ball creating them. Lol it took me awhile myself to get into cross stitch. It has become addictive, but I have to admit quilting is my favorite. I think you would enjoy it since you like handwork so much.
DeleteThese are just lovely. I've missed some of them so it's nice to see them all in one post and be able to easily catch up.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much. It was fun for me to look back at all that I have completed and I agree it is good for reference as well. Happy stitching.
DeleteOh I love the house tour!! I got my winter saltbox finished and I have the strawberry saltbox up next. I also want to stitch the candy corn saltbox. I did not have time to get to it in the fall so maybe some spring and summer stitching for me. Thanks again for sharing your talent with us.
ReplyDeleteI am so honored that you stitched the winter saltbox and the strawberry one is up next. I do love the strawberry house as well. I hope you enjoy it. Have a wonderful week, Arlene and thank you for the sweet visit

ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Robin. I agree . Most of the time my favorite is the one I am working on, but all of them have a soft spot in my heart. Lol. Happy stitching.
Delete(Little Penpen) oh my goodness! I want to make them all. You are so talented!!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Penny. I have enjoyed each and every stitch and I love grouping them together. I hope you have a wonderful week. Happy stitching and quilting.
DeleteOh, Melisa, these are just adorable! Reminds me of when we were getting ready to build our house and attended all the "parade of homes" tours! LOL But yours are cuter than most of those!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Brenda. My little village is growing. Lol. They have been fun to work on and I am always trying to think of a new one. Happy quilting .

DeleteI’m working on Dorothy Mae’s right now! 💕
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, That one is dear to me since it is named after my Aunt Dot. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It should stitch up quickly. Have a great week.
DeleteWhat a prolific designer you are, Melisa! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your parade of homes today and think that Sarah Jane's 1776 Saltbox is definitely going to be stitched this summer. Thank you, thank you for all of these darling designs! ♥
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Carol. I am so honored that Sarah Jane 's 1776 is going on your future stitch list. Anything patriotic makes my heart sing. I hope you enjoy it. Have a great day. Hugs

Oh thank you so much, Isabel. I have enjoyed each and every stitch and am looking forward to adding more homes to the village. Have a wonderful week.
DeleteI love them all and hope to stitch all of them. So far, I have only stitched three-Katie Anne's Saltbox, Dorothy Mae's Spring House and Christmas Eve Saltbox.
ReplyDeleteOh , Janet thank you so much for stitching some of my humble homes. Katie Anne's is another popular stitch. I love the colors in that one. I hope you enjoyed them . I truly appreciate your sweet visit.
DeleteI love all the houses, manors, cottages and saltboxes, they're my favorite of all your generous gifts! Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring us all.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, dear. I have to admit I think they are my favorites to stitch as well along with the mason jars. Have a blessed day
DeleteI love all your houses Melisa, I'm going to finish "A cold winter's day" soon and I'm already planning to do several of them this year.
ReplyDeleteHugs
I am so touched that you have been working on A Cold Winter's Day, Diana. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope you are enjoying it. Happy stitching. Hugs.
DeleteHouses, houses, houses oh my! I love them ALL! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteMargie\Tennessee
Lol I can never get enough houses!! Thank you so much, Margie for stopping in for my humble home parade. Happy stitching.
DeleteYou have built an impressive amount of houses in your neighborhood!
ReplyDeleteI had not realized how big the neighborhood had grown until I pulled them all together. I am a bit to obsessed stitching houses. Lol Thank you so much , Shelly
DeleteSo many wonderful stitches! I have been thinking of combining them to do a Year in Houses piece. The stitch count varies a bit from house to house so I am trying to decide on the sashing I want between the house blocks. It's a dream right now but some day! Thank you, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteOh how fun, Ginny. I have seen other stitchers do the same. I think a year of houses would look amazing. I do need to create a year of houses with the same design size some time . Hmmm you have ideas whirling in my head. Lol
DeleteSuch a wonderful collection! The top three you metioned are probably my favorites - definitely the green saltbox. I think it's probably hard to pick, whether you designed them or not. I just happen to like green and crows, so those were easy. =)
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Susan. I was surprised that so many liked the Spring Green House , but I am so happy they do. I love crows too. It is one of my favorite birds for some reason. Lol.

ReplyDeletethanks so much for showing them all together - I'm missing 7 to catch up (8 now with Love Grows here) can't wait to get stitching.
Aaah thank you so much, Becky. I am so honored that you have stitched so many of them. That really warms my heart and brightens my day. Thank you with all of my heart. I hope you have enjoyed them.
DeleteYour houses are amazing! Every one is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteYou are so very kind. Thank you so much. I have enjoyed each and every minute of creating and sharing them. I hope you have a very lovely week and thank you for the sweet visit.
DeleteThank you so much for the Salt Box Parade, I love seeing all of them. I've made Sarah Jane's 1776 and am currently close to finishing Spring Green (matches my own house :o)). My goal is to get enough done to change out for season's and holidays. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
ReplyDeleteAah I am so very touched that you have been stitching on my humble homes, Kelli. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am so very honored. I hope you enjoy every stitch and how exciting that Spring Green is so similar to your own home. That is one of the most popular. Happy stitching.
