""What's in the Works Wednesday"


Do Everything in Love! Isn't that a wonderful sentiment?  I sure think so . 


This stitch is a freebie from Silver Creek Samplers , and it works up quickly. I began mine  Monday night after dear Marianne sent me this freebie. Thank you , Marianne.  
Speaking of Love . My little raggedy tree is plumb  loaded down with all kinds of Valentines and all things red  and pink.  I promise you there is a tree in there somewhere.   I think I can find a place for my new stitch . Don't you? 😀

I have to show the beautiful fabric that I recently won from Jennifer at The Inquiring Quilter




. Eeeeh! It's Farm fabric at that!!!! Tractors, Chickens  and Barns , Oh my!!!!!  This is Timeless Treasures "The Coop" Collection. 

  
Jennifer recently celebrated 6 years  on her   Wednesday Weight Loss link party ,  and in celebration she offered a sweet giveaway. Thank you , Jennifer. I can not tell you how much your generosity and inspiration  means to me.  I am already dreaming of a project for these yummy fabrics. ❤🤗

I have added a couple of more pink blocks in the 54-40 or Fight Freestyle Quilt   which is a design by Missouri Star Quilt Company.


 A tutorial is on their Youtube channel.   I will revisit this quilt in March when I find out the color of the month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. 



That's my Wednesday ramblings from the holler. I hope you have a very lovely day and thank you for the sweet visit.

As Always...

Happy quilting and stitching, ya'll
