Love Grows Here Home - Freebie

A very Merry  Mason Jar Monday to you ! 😃💗 I have not done  a Mason Jar Monday post in awhile have I? 

                                         

Well last night , I pulled out my scrap bag and went to town strip piecing scraps willy nilly.

  In no time, I had enough to applique a wee mason jar in pinks .  It is appliqued to a 7 1/2" square. I am going to use these blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I want to piece 3 more this week. 

         

 A new mason jar stitch is in the works as well. You know me and birdies. 

 I also wanted to share with you a February house stitch. This one is called Love Grows Here, and it is so pretty in pink. And can you believe those roofers added  a red roof ?!!!!  I think Cupid would be quite happy living here. Don't you? 

Love Grows Here with  Dorothy Mae's Spring House 

This is a small with a design size of 71 x 72. I stitched mine on 14 count aida that I tea/ coffee dyed myself. Click here if you are interested in seeing how I tea dye mine. I call it Messin' and a Gommin'   for I am a messy at this process. Lol. 

Ok now back to the stitch.  Cupid has a green thumb for look at the large basket of blooms that he has on his roof. A few white hearts are scattered here and there. 

If you are interested in stitching Love Grows Here  ,grab the images below. Many of ya'll know but I always encourage you to read my little disclaimer and note about getting my charts. 

NOTE: Normally I have been able to create links to the charts and instructions which were in JPG form. For some reason, recent updates on Google Docs. has prevented me from doing that and I am not able to create a pdf without having to deal with storage issues.  Many dear stitchers say they right click, save the image and then print.  I think some have copied and pasted it to a Word document that they can print off as well. I hope you are able to find a way to enjoy this chart. You will have to click each page to save. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding and for all of the helpful tips and ideas. 

I stitch my little designs for fun and to decorate my home. I feel very blessed by this community and love sharing my little charts, but I am not a professional designer. And I do not have professional software. Thank you for understanding . I am always grateful for your kind encouragement , your visits, and for stitching my little designs.



Well I am off to see what the day allows. I have two more mason jar blocks that need to be worked on. May your day be filled with blessings and...

As always...

Happy quilting and stitching, ya'll

Melisa

This home is filled with dreams , love and happiness from above. 

Hugs and Stitches !!!🤗❤🧵
