What a lovely mini quilt you received, Melisa! Happy May Day!
ReplyDeleteHappy May , dear Robin. I hope your month is off to a very lovely start. I was very honored to receive Melva's darling mini quilt. I have already found the perfect spot for the sweet beauty. Have a wonderful week. Hugs.
DeleteYou are really yanking at me -- I recently completed an embroidery and found out how much I really like to do hand embroidery. And, you, enabler extraordinary, have given me not one but two different projects I could be doing. I'm trying to be strong but it isn't working very well. I think I'll download the project directions and see if I truly succumb. Thanks for your generosity. Happy May Day!
ReplyDeleteOh , Bonnie . I am so thrilled that you have been enjoying working on embroidery! It can be addictive and I find it quite relaxing. I hope you enjoy these new embroideries. I love how Joy gives a small motif each week and it doesn't take long to complete the embroidery either. . I think you would enjoy it. Have a great week and happy stitching and quilting.
DeleteThanks so much for another cute embroidery. I love the mini you chose from Melva. Good words on there! And, I LOVE how that fall salt box is looking! Thanks so much for sharing with Monday Musings today!
ReplyDeleteAww thank you so much, Brenda. I enjoyed working on the May monthly embroidery and I was over the moon to receive Melva's quilt; I feel very fortunate. I can not wait to get the fall saltbox completed. This is one that I am really enjoying. Have a wonderful week and happy quilting.
Delete♡ I was happy to share a little piece of me with you. Dare to dream, believe in yourself and trust and hope in the Lord. ♡
ReplyDeleteOh, Melva. I am so honored to have this quilt and it will be cherished forever. I have a very special place for it so that I can see it everyday. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Hugs.
DeleteHave a nice week!
ReplyDeleteThe mini quilt is beautiful!!!!
Happy May dear Isabel. I hope your week is filled with many blessings. Hugs.
DeleteLove the mini quilt! And THANK YOU for the adorable Spring Cross Stich SAL. I have not started it yet, but it's so adorable and generous of you to share. Can you share other cross stitch blogs if you know of any besides yours? I am always looking to follow more stitchers.....Have a great week. RABBIT RABBIT!!! Happy May 1st!
ReplyDeleteAaaw thank you so much, Mamey. I hope you enjoy the Spring SAL and I am so honored that you followed along. Have you visited, Carol at Stitching Dreams blogspot? She inspired me to get back into stitching . Her blog is so lovely and she is such a dear. There are many other fabulous and wonderful stitchers too. If you have a chance , you might want to check out my Lovely Blog That I Follow on my sidebar if you view my blog in web version. Some of the sweet ladies are like me - they stitch, quilt and embroidery. It is fun to see what others are up to and be inspired too. Don't you think? I hope you have a wonderful week, Mamey and thank you so much for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteHappy first of May!
ReplyDeleteFollowing the French tradition, I am sending you my virtual lilies of the valley to bring you luck throughout the year!!
Kisses from Spain,

Aaw you are the sweetest, Pilarin. I wish you the most blessed and happy year, my friend. It is hard to believe it is May already. Thank you for the sweet visit. I hope you are doing well. Hugs.
DeleteWhat a great way to celebrate May Day – in the garden! I planted some seeds from my parent’s garden and am hoping they come up! That is a beautiful mini quilt with an inspirational message! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYour “doodles” are precious! Thank you for sharing!
You’ve accomplished so much! That’s wonderful! Take good care!
Happy May , dear. How exciting that you have been playing in the dirt as well. I hope you seeds come up very soon. Spring is such a wonderful time of the year especially when one can plant . I hope you have a wonderful and blessed week. Happy quilting. Hugs.
DeleteI have been catching up on your posts!! I absolutely love your Sweet Butterfly Tribute to your sister. I am also in love with the latest Saltbox, I think the bunnies in the yard are so sweet. I walk every morning and one of the neighbor has cute black bunnies and they now have babies, so sweet. Oh, a sweet win of a mini quilt, you are a lucky girl. Happy sweet May Day to you, I found a little homemade paper basket with a small container of pansies! Don't know who, but such a great day!! Many hugs from sunny Arizona.
ReplyDeleteHappy May , dear Mary. It is hard to believe it is May already. How wonderful and sweet to receive a basket of pansies ; its the little things like that which warms ones heart.Thank you so much for the kind compliments on my projects that I worked on this past week. Oh my, Mary. I do not think I have ever seen a black rabbit in person. I bet it is as cute as a button and I can only imagine how precious the babies are. Have a blessed week, my friend. Hugs.
DeleteCongratulations on winning the small quilt - I understand why you like it so much Oh those cute monthly embroideries just keep coming! Thank you! Blessings
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to hear that I won one of Melva's quilts. It will definitely be treasured. I enjoyed working on May's embroidery. Now onto June's . Lol. Have a great week, dear Donna. Hugs.
DeleteHi Melisa! Congratulations on Melva's beautiful mini - she does such nice work. You are planting my favorite flower seeds - I love marigolds, zinnias, and cosmos! For some reason my cosmos are always huge bushes with few flowers - maybe not enough sun? Your zinnias will be so pretty!
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Linda. I was so surprised and thrilled to receive one of Melva's beautiful mini quilts. I agree she does amazing work. I have to confess, marigolds, zinnias and cosmos are the only flowers that I can really grow successfully here. I bet your cosmos are so pretty. The finches are after mine just as soon as they bloom. Lol. Have a great week.
DeleteDigging in the dirt, ie planting seeds, is good for the soul, isn't it? Less and less will be done at this house as it is harder and harder to get down to ground level. So I will revel in all the pretty flowers planted by others and shared here in Blogland! I'll be watching for your cosmos and zinnias to bloom later in the summer.
ReplyDeleteOh it is Judy. I have always enjoyed gardening, but I have got to where I put a lot of my flowers in pots for easier access. The cosmos and zinnia will be in a little bed though. I look forward to their blooms each year. Have a blessed week and thank you for the sweet visit.
DeleteHappy month of May! That mini quilt is a beautiful gift! And your basket doodle is so cute and sweet. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Happy May, dear Diana. I am so honored to own one of Melva's sweet quilts. It will be in a place of honor so that I can enjoy it daily. I hope you have a wonderful week. Hugs. and blessings.
DeleteHappy May Day!!! yay for getting into the dirt!!!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Alycia. I hope your Month is off to a great start. I hope to get a good beginning on my garden this week. Fingers crossed. Lol. Have a wonderful week and happy quilting.
DeleteHappy May Day! We can't plant out here in Colorado yet, but soon! Your May doodle stitch is so cute - all of your monthly pieces are calling to me. I might need to do something about that, lol!
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Diann. We worked up the garden yesterday. I hope to plant some plants this week if the weather cooperates. I hope you enjoy the little monthly doodles. I just began working on June's . Have a great week. Hugs.
DeleteThank you for the sweet doodle for May, Melisa! The mini you won has some great affirmations! Something to stick up within sight to keep in mind all day. I have a couple of those above my sewing machine. In the picture with the flower seed packets, did I see a little applique flower block resting on the trowel? Is that one of your designs? Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteAah you are so welcome, Ginny . I enjoyed working on the May doodle. Oh yes that little appliqued flower is one that I created about 10 years ago. I got hooked on making little quilts the size of trading cards. It was a great way to use up little scraps too. Have a great week, Ginny and thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs
DeleteThank you for the May berry basket - love it! I started McChill #3 today! Yes, I follow Joy, too. I'm not currently stitching that project, saving the patterns for later. For now, I'm concentrating on McChill and a Nursery Rhyme group, a crazy quilt project, and a table cloth from Elefantz.
ReplyDeleteOh you are so welcome, Susan. You have some amazing projects in the works. I am so honored that you are stitching Frosty McChill too. He ranks as one of my winter favorites. I hope you enjoy him. I bet your Nursery rhyme quilt is adorable. Have a great week. Hugs.
DeleteFélicitations Melisa pour cette jolie mini courtepointe .
ReplyDeleteJ'adore ton choix de graines . Merci pour le lien de Joy's SAL .
Bonne semaine
Happy May dear Monique and thank you so much . I have been enjoying working on the little embroideries. Have a blessed week. Hugs
DeleteWhat a cute mini quilt! And I love your embroidery designs. I really need to take that up again. You are so generous to share those with everyone.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Marti. I go through spurts where I like to embroider. For the last couple of years I have picked it back up. Have a wonderful week. Hugs.
DeleteThat is an adorable May doodle! I'd play with it except I'm still working on your Spring Stamp SAL! hahaha! I'm a slow poke but love to see what you are up to at all times. Thank you for all that you contribute to the quilting community!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Susie; you are the sweetest! . I have been enjoying working on the little monthly redworks. I hope you are enjoying the Spring Stamps. Taking your time and enjoying the stitch is what it is all about. 🤗
Deletewhere are you? i miss your posts. i haven't seen one since this one on Monday. it's Friday. i miss you.
ReplyDeleteAwww Debra. I can not tell you how much that means to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I feel so humbled to be missed. You are the sweetest. Hugs.
