Melisa your fabric pull for the pinwheel quilt and the depression fabrics are so sweet. They will make beautiful quilts. Just look at all your check marks! Well done with your last list. Thank you for linking with To Do Tuesday. Hope you have plenty of time to stitch this week. Looking forward to seeing your next update and progress photos. 😉
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Carol. I have had these fabrics for years. It is so hard to cut into such pretty fabrics. But eeeh! I did it and now I am off to a good start. Thank you for the sweet visit and for hosting the link party. Have a great day.
DeleteMelisa - you are just the sweetest! I'm a star on your blog today! teehee! I am crazy about the fabrics you selected for your own pinwheel quilt. I hope you'll share more progress.... Thank you!!! Big Hugs dear friend1
ReplyDeleteYou are always a star, Darlene! I just love everything you do and I mean it- I want to copy cat all of your sweet creations. Lol. I am enjoying working on this quilt so much. I hope to add more blocks this week. Big hugs.
DeleteThe pinwheel blocks are very cute and simple to make. What a great idea, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteThe are fun and fast blocks to work on. I am enjoying piecing them and decided to use them as a leader/ ender project for awhile. Thank you for the sweet visit, Gretchen.
DeleteGood Tuesday morning as I read this! ;-) I'm at my dd's and will be going through all my stash that I have stored here - seeing your pinwheels reminds me I have quite a bit of stash to go through! That will be my day! Thank you for sharing yours. Blessings
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a very lovely day sorting through your stash. Hmm I just wonder - did that lead you following any squirrels? Lol that is usually what happens to me when I begin sorting fabrics and such. I hope you got a lot accomplished, Donna. Hugs and blessings.
DeleteWhat pretty blocks you created, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteAaaah thank you so much, Robin. I am enjoying working on these blocks especially since they are quick and cute as well. Have a great day. Hugs.
DeleteFun pinwheel blocks! I wonder if I can find Darlene on IG. Off to check it out and get busy on my list! 🙂
ReplyDeleteDarlene always has the cutest projects going on. I hope you had a great day accomplishing some of the goals on your list for the week, Judy. Thank you for the sweet visit.
DeleteWhat fun blocks, Melisa!! I see why you are crushing on these! Looking forward to seeing your finish. Thanks for linking up with Monday Musings! Have an awesome week, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThey are so fun and fast and I am over the moon that I finally decided to cut into the cute reproductions. Have a great week, Brenda.
DeleteYou got a lot done, Melisa! Love those adorable pinwheel blocks! So your quilt nest--I thought that's what you were calling your sewing studio, which would be cute, but it sounds like your fabrics are stored in the upper level of the garage? Nice frame for your spring embroidery block!
ReplyDeleteYou sure accomplished loads! I like your fabric pull. Have a terrific week!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteThese little blocks have been a delight to work on. It is nice to be able to sit down to the sewing machine and feel like I am getting something done. Have a great week, Terry.
DeleteAnd you have inspired me for one of my mini-quilts! Teeny-tiny pinwheel/windmill blocks. :) Thanks for sharing on Sew & Tell.
ReplyDeleteOooh I can not wait to see your mini quilt, Melva. I know it will be as cute as a button. I will be watching. Happy quilting.
DeleteThose pinwheels are cute, and a great scrap buster project. My stash of 30s reproduction fabric needs some "slimming down" again. I tend to buy them often because they are so cheerful.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Sara. I do the same thing; I collect the reproduction and then do not want to cut into them. But I bit the bullet and did just that and I am enjoying working on them. I hope you have a great week and thank you for the sweet visit.
DeleteThose pinwheels are adorable 🥰 could you please share the pattern or instructions for them ? Thank you 😊
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, dear. Sure, I will write up a post this week. They are so simple to make and quick too. I bet you will enjoy working on them. Have a wonderful week .
DeleteYou are a source of inspiration, because you do not stop for a minute!!!
ReplyDeleteHow many beautiful things are you capable of doing in a week!!
Kisses from Spain
Aaah you are the sweetest , dear Isabel. I try to stay as busy as possible . Working on my quilts always relaxes me. Have a beautiful week, my friend. Hugs.
DeleteThose are pretty pinwheels, and I'll enjoy seeing what you do with them, Melisa! Have fun with your stitching and all those ballgames, too!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Diann. They are so fast and fun to work on . I hope to make a good amount this week. Happy quilting.
DeleteYou are never slacking in the creative department. Your new quilt you shared is so pretty! The 30's Era prints are so fun!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much,Ginny. I have been having a great week in the quilt room this week. It has been relaxing working on little sewing projects. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Hugs
DeleteOhhh love the new quilt. Your "Burley Tobacco Grower" quilt is amazing. Perfect backdrop, too. I always love dropping by your place. So many lovely things to see. Wishing you many blessings dear friend. ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteAaah you are so kind, Vicki. Thank you so much. It was a nice day to photograph the tobacco quilt outside too. I am having loads of fun working on the pinwheel blocks . Hope you are having a great week. Hugs
DeleteOooh, go thrifting caught my eye! I can hardly wait to see what you found this time! Your little pinwheels are cute as anything!
ReplyDeleteIt was a slow thrifting week, but I did find a whole bolt of interfacing so I was happy with that. But I am always up for thrifting; you never know what you may find. I hope you had a great week, dear Susan. Hugs.
