Oh Melisa you've touched my heart and put a huge smile on my face! Your quilt is wonderful, adorable, sweet, cute, etc.
ReplyDeleteYou're always so incredibly productive! I lived variously through you today - lots of piecing and machine quilting today. Taking a couple of breaks to do a little x-stitching because I want to finish my current project. LOL
Wishing you a happy and productive week, dear friend.
Good morning, dear Darlene and Happy Monday. I am just so grateful that I found you on IG. I always look forward to your posts and hearing from you. I am so glad that you got to enjoy a lot of quilting and piecing today as well as stitching. Didn't feel so good? Lol. I hope you have a wonderful week as well. Looking forward to mini Monday. Hugs.
DeleteYou are so organized. So many lovely projects. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteAaah you are so kind, Tammy. I really do not feel like I am organized , but I try to at least have a few goals for the week. Thank you so much for dropping by for a visit. Have a great week, Tammy
DeleteThank you for sharing these beautiful works... the sunflower sampler has me in love!!!
ReplyDeleteA hug
Happy Monday, Isabel. I hope your week is off to a lovely start. I have been working on my sampler today and hope to have it finished shortly. Have a beautiful day, my friend.
DeleteHugs.
Have a great week
ReplyDeleteAaaw thank you so much, dear for dropping by . I hope you have a lovely and productive week as well. Hugs.
DeleteHappy Monday, Melisa! Enjoy your ride to the big city. Your sunflower sampler is looking good.
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Robin. We will take the back roads so I will enjoy the scenery as we ride. It usually takes about an hour. I should have my little sampler completed in that amount of time. Lol. Happy Monday.
DeleteI am hoping that your big city trip was a good adventure, sorry about the dentist, a necessary habit that we all need to have. Love your stick Stars, I will have to remember those the next time I trim the Mesquite trees in my back yord. Have a great week, your list is something I should do!!! I need more organization in my life, lol! Hugs from sunny Arizona.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, dear Mary. It was nice to be out and about . Luckily I did not have to drive. Lol. Those little stars as easy to make and would look darling made out of mesquite. At Christmas time , I pair them with my cowboy tree with bits of raffia and cowboy Santas and mini boots. I added a tad of glue at the tips as I wrapped the jute twine around the edges. Hope you have a wonderful week. Hugs and blessings.
DeleteMelisa, I hope you had a great ride with Mr. Pinker. I hate driving in the city too! Heck, I don't even like to visit if I can help it! I love those stick stars. What a great idea! Your leader-ender project is fantastic. I have lots of pieces and really need to do that with them. Thanks for sharing on Monday Musings!
ReplyDeleteI am exactly like you, Brenda when it comes to going to the city. I try to avoid driving if I can, but we had a lovely time. I hope to not go back for a few months . LOL. I am really enjoying Darlene's quilt . It is fun to play with the reproduction fabric too. Have a great day.
DeleteYou had a very successful week last week. I hope you accomplish all your plans this week, too!
ReplyDeleteI had a wonderful time in the quilt room last week. I sure hope to have one this week, but we will see. Lol. Thank you so much for the sweet visit, Jeanna and Happy stitching. Hugs.
DeleteThose pinwheel blocks are sweet as can be, Melisa! I love the colors you're using in them. The sunflower mason jar design is calling to me, too, but I'd better stitch up the sunflower sampler first! Hope you had a great visit to the big city!
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying the Pinwheels so much, Diann especially since I am using the reproduction fabrics. It is always hard to cut into those fabrics, but I am so happy when I do use them. Enjoy stitching on your Mini Sunflower Sampler. I finished mine last night. Now to FFO it. Lol. Happy quilting and stitching.
DeleteOh my, such a lovely chicken tree. I like the version you are doing of Darlenes quilt, that looks nice and easy and would make a great RSC project. Have fun in the big city, maybe you will be going somewhere nice for lunch as a treat?
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed pulling out all of the little wooden chickens for the tree. It makes me happy. That's a great idea on using the Pinwheel blocks for a RSC project. I may do that next year. Thank you so much for the idea, Jenny. We had a great time in the city; we even stopped for a quick meal . Have a great week. Hugs.
DeleteA new tree! So cute! Love the "hens at work" sign. Did you paint all the sweet little chickens? You are so creative! When my oldest was in Cub Scouts they made twig stars. Thank you for bringing that memory to mind.
ReplyDeleteLol I did paint those little chickens. Hubby cut out the small ones almost 30 years ago and I just took a scrap piece of wood and painted the Hens at Work sign. I enjoy pulling them out each year. Aaah I am so glad this post brought back a fond memory. Those twig stars are an easy cheap craft with loads of cuteness. Thank you for the sweet visit, Ginny.
DeleteLove all those chicken boards! I have a twig just like that out on my deck - just one, though, so no twiney stars for me. Darlene's quilt looks adorable in those wonderful colors. I'm looking around for a leader ender to do when I'm tired of log cabins (like now!) and I've already made too many Prairie Points blocks, but those points are SO much fun to make! I might have gotten addicted to them. Am I going to have to make another quilt of them???
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good time in the big city - whichever one it was. I live right on a mountain of my big city, but spend 90% of my time in about a 5 mile radius of my house. I have a small woods and ravine out back, but I wish it were more ... still, not complaining about what I don't have when I have so much! An owl spends every summer in that woods, and I hear him many nights, so what a blessing it is to have the tiny woods!
Happy Monday, Susan. Thank you so much on my little chickens. I made those years ago and still enjoy bringing them out during the summer. I have enjoyed seeing your Prairie points and look forward to seeing them come together in a quilt. It is always fun to start a new project isn't it?
DeleteWe had a great time in the city, but I do prefer our rural area. Your home sounds delightful. I bet you enjoy seeing all kinds of wildlife as well. The hoot of an owl at dusk is always nice to hear. I hear one every now and again. Last night I had a couple of raccoons sitting on my front porch staring at me through the window and earlier during the day a gray squirrel. I agree it is a blessing to live near the woods. Have a great week. Hugs.
I hope the ride to the city was uneventful. Those sunflowers are gorgeous and perfect for this time of the year! Love the chicken tree!!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteIt was a great day to be out and about and luckily I got a little lunch while we were visiting as well. Thank you so much Terry for the kind words on my sunflower stitch and tree. I am enjoying each one. Have a great week. Hugs.
DeleteLove the quilt - such a simple design yet so very pretty! And do I spy a pair of antique scissors on your sunflower sampler? Those are so cool! Have fun in the city - you never know what inspiration you'll find there - and good luck at the dentist. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is such a relaxing one to work on , Donna and it is super quick to cut our new pieces when I run out of strips. I am looking forward to finishing it soon. Those are some of my favorite little scissors. I always have them close at hand. Have a wonderful day. Hugs.
DeleteSo much eye candy in your post today! And you have some lovely projects in the works! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAaah you are so very kind, Judy. Thank you so much for dropping by for a sweet visit. I hope you have a very lovely week as well. Hugs.
DeleteLove the red/white/blue churn dash mini! So fun!
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying working on the mini Churn Dash. I look forward to having it completed and ready for next year. Thank you for the sweet visit, Cheree.
