Rise and Shine! Sunshine!
It is a beautiful day!
Doesn't Apple Blackberry Jelly sound delightful on warm toast? 🍞 Mmm! Mmm! I sure would like to have some, but all I have is this vintage empty jar to tempt me and to remind me of my sis who gifted it to me. We both collect vintage tins and advertising.🤗
Do ya'll remember Bama jelly?
When I was child, my siblings and I would beg mom to buy certain jellies not just for the ooey gooey goodness , but because certain brands had collectible jars with cartoon characters on them . After we gobbled up the jelly or jams on biscuits the colorful jars were washed out and used as juice glasses. I wish mom had saved those .🥛
I was so excited to post my apple hutch tour on Tuesday, that I sat down and drew up another mini sampler called Mini Apple Sampler . This is a Choose Your Own Colors chart. I will be adding this to my stitch list as soon as I dye more fabric. I am not sure what colors I will use but I certainly will share them when I decide.

As always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all

Happiness is like jam... you can't spread even a little without getting some on yourself.
Hugs and Stitches!!!!🤗🧵❤
Dedicated to my baby sister, Amy . I love and miss you Amo.❤❤❤ |

I remember having my grandmother purchase specific jellies and/or jams for the jars. And, yes, I do remember Bama! Your apple sampler is so cute, Melisa. Oh, you put a huge smile on my face with your Darlene Pinwheel Quiilt. Such a fun block to make.
ReplyDeleteGood morning , Darlene and Happy Friday. Aaah I am so glad this little quilt has brightened your day; it certainly has mine. I hope to piece the rows today and then decide about borders. I have enjoyed it so much. Thank you for the inspiration. Hugs.
DeleteI remember jelly jars like that. We had a collection of Peanuts characters - gave them to the kids after they left home. I think they still have them and use them! Love the pinwheel quilt. I have some charm packs that have been calling my name recently - I think this pattern will fit the bill! Thank Darlene for reminding us that some of the simpler patterns can be beautiful! Starting to save those alphabet samplers for fun quick projects! Thank again for your generosity! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the Peanut characters and we loved the Flintstones as well. What a treasure that your girls still have them, Donna. I worked to day on my Pinwheel quilt. I am already dreaming of how to quilt it. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Hugs.
DeleteDarling mini apple sampler! I remember using the jelly jars as glasses at my grandmother's house. Your quilt blocks look awesome, Melisa.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Robin. I am looking forward to starting the apple sampler soon. It has been years since I have seen the small jelly jars with the cartoon characters on them. I still have some of my grandmother's large jelly jars that we drank sweet tea from. Such fond memories. Have a great weekend. Hugs.
DeleteThe pinwheel quilt looks great in those fabrics. Do you have plans for the extra block? Maybe in a pieced backing? Just guessing LOL. The mini apple sampler is perfect for this time of year!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Jeanna. I thought about appliqueing the extra block to the backing unless it finds its way into another project. Lol. Have a great weekend. Hugs.
DeleteOh dear, now I'm in trouble, lol! I've just started your little pumpkin sampler, and her you are with the apples! I love these, Melisa - they're so fun to stitch. I do love apples - especially freshly picked off the tree!
ReplyDeleteOh I am so excited that you are working on the Mini pumpkin sampler, Diann. I can not wait to see it. It warms my heart to hear that you are enjoying them. Happy stitching. Hugs.
DeleteWhat adorable fabrics you have for your quilt, Melisa! Love the little apple sampler, too! And yes, I, too remember the jelly jars very fondly :)
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Carol. I truly enjoy the reproduction Depression era fabrics; they are always so whimsical and cheerful. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteWhat a wonderful surprise!
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful mini sampler for the collection!!!
Thanks for sharing and very Happy weekend, Melisa!
A hug
Aaaw thank you so much, Isabel. I am excited to start the new mini sampler soon. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs.
DeleteQuilt is looking great! Thanks for sharing all your goodies and the stitchy charts!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, dear. I am so very excited to be nearing a finish on the quilt. The sweet fabrics have been a joy to work with. Enjoy your weekend. Hugs.
DeleteWe had decorated peanut butter jars/glasses here, I remember, that's going back many years now.
ReplyDeleteOh how interesting, Jenny. I wish companies still created little promotional glasses like that. Growing up , we always used the recycled jars for drinking glasses. Hope you have a very lovely weekend. Hugs.
DeleteI remember a group of jelly jars with cartoon characters, and we saved them, too. It didn't take much to make us happy, did it? =) Great new chart! I sent your apple hutch tour to my friend who loves to collect, because I knew she'd enjoy the post. I surely did!
ReplyDeleteOh that is so true, Susan. Little things like decorated jam jars made us kids happy as clams. Lol. I sure miss those simpler times. Thank you so much for sharing my hutch tour. I can not tell you how much that means to me. Have a lovely weekend Hugs.
DeleteGreat post! We had jelly jar glasses at home too. I still have one with Jerry the mouse on a skateboard. You are so kind to share the cross stitch charts, they are very tempting!
ReplyDeleteAah you are so kind, Sylvia. Thank you so much. Oh, I think I remember the Jerry jar. What a treasure to still have it . I am not sure what happened to our jars. Lol. Have a wonderful weekend and happy quilting.
DeleteThose pinwheel blocks are looking just great! Love the 30's Repro prints. With being 11 blocks shy of what you intended to make, why not choose another neutral, make the remaining blocks you had wanted and mix them all together. It will look intentional with so many. I did that with a pale yellow in a Spiderweb quilt and it all read the same and still looked good, The Apple Sampler is wonderful! Thank you for sharing with us. We don't have that brand of jelly/jam here, but I remember getting dishes and cups in our dog food and powdered laundry soap. Some I still have and use!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea ,Ginny. I wish I had seen your comment earlier. I worked yesterday on the quilt and pieced it all up. I still have loads of 30's fabric for another quilt. I bet your Spiderweb quilt is amazing. I have always wanted to try one of those, but I am still intimidated .Lol. Well how interesting that dishes and cups used to come in dog food. Don't you wish companies did promotional things like that now? Aah the good ole' days. Have a great weekend. Hugs.
DeleteOh, I remember those jelly jar glasses! I wish I had ours too. Love your pinwheel quilt. Thanks for the new mini sampler, it's really cute! Have a great weekend! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWeren't they the cutest? I never see the jelly juice jars in the thrift stores. I guess people have kept them or thrown them away. Lol. Thank you for the sweet visit, Brenda. Hugs.
DeleteI love your apple mini sampler so cute!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Aah thank you so much, Diana. You are so kind. Have a beautiful day, sweet friend. Hugs
DeleteSo loving your pinwheel blocks! Are those vintage fabrics? They are adorable. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
