Are you going to be working on any particular project for the new upcoming month? Or maybe just a variety? Either way I sure hope you enjoy every stitch.
This evening, I will be working on Darlene D'Eon Designs' "All is Calm" . ( a photo will be coming soon) . I know many of y'all follow Darlene on @darlenedeondesigns on Instagram and Flosstube.
Darlene is such a sweetie, and she is an amazing quilt and cross stitch designer. Right now she has the nine patch a day SAL going on. Remember I started this, but have stalled because I want to change my fabric colors. I am going to have a lot of catching up to do ain't I? But I will get there, you know me- sometimes I am slow as molasses.
Later I will continue quilting on Alabama Beauty which I began in August.
I moved the quilt hoop yesterday.
This has been my "15 minute a day" project this week . It will be the focus quilt for 2024.
This is some unusual fabric for the quilt; my needle just loves to visit each lovely scrap.
My small foyer is filled to the gills with campers.
The wee tree is decorated in a collection of little camper ornaments.
And the vintage shelf was crammed full of red trucks and camper cookie jars.
Speaking of campers that brings me to some news. Mr. Pinker and I will be going on a camping trip in January .
We will be traversing the vast desert of the southwest in an old truck camper in hopes of enjoying a bit of warmer weather.
Being in the desert with no electricity, means we will not have internet as well. So I will not be posting as often hence my flurry of posts this week.
I will have some prescheduled posts ,and if we come into a town, maybe I can post and visit my blogging buddies as well.
I sure will miss ya' . I will be back to my regular routine in February if all goes as planned.
As Always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, ya'll

Stitching and quilting in one post makes me smile, smile, smile! I'm excited about the Gingerbread designs. So much stitching, so little time!!! LOL DarleneJ
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Darlene. I agree we need more stitching time don't we?Hee ! Hee! I have been working on the next gingerbread block. I am just still in the Christmas mood. Lol. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteI must say Alabama Beauty is lovely. All those campers on the wee tree.....amazing!! Have a fabulous time away journeying in your camper, dear Melisa.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Kim. Alabama Beauty is a joy to work on . I hope to finish it this new year. I wish you a wonderful and blessed new year. Hugs.
DeleteLoving all those campers - sure see a lot of them, especially during Christmas at the $ store - maybe it's people dreaming of the day...Where can I find the pattern for AL beauty - I looked it up and what I saw was different than yours...also, still can't find the Aunt Mariah's Saltbox link (not in the parade of saltboxes) - I must be missing something - which is not unusual for me! LOL! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteHappy Trails to you and Mr. Pinker, Melisa! A trip to someplace warm sounds lovely. I got started on the Bowl of Gingerbread recently, so need to keep up with that one. Looking forward to the rest of them!
ReplyDeleteNot sure camping in January would be my thing. Hopefully you find lots of warm places to hang out. Having been sick all week, we folded and hit the sack before the year change, so we were asleep. Well at least I was till the family behind us started the fireworks! Happy stitching this year. I'm looking forward to more embroidery, cross stitch, quilts and fun hutch redo's this year.
ReplyDeleteI love your maximalist style, Melisa! In decorating and quilts!!! Enjoy your warm trip! I'll look forward to your photos.
ReplyDeleteBeing a camper type person myself, ofcourse I love your wonderful collection of these cute little campers.We are currently away in our caravan, enjoying the New Year sunshine.

Oh, I love the camper display! That is really something special & fun! I didn't realize you had another sister. I am happy to hear this and also that you are making another Butterfly Kisses quilt for her. Your New Year's meal sound so good! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThe Alabama Beauty is just that -- a beauty!! I can certainly see why your needle just loves floating through all the varied fabrics. Have a great WARM trip. I'll look forward to hearing from you as time & internet permits!
ReplyDeleteHave a safe trip and enjoy yourselves! I'm still catching up on your December posts, so I have lots to look forward to during our cold January days. I'm not complaining, though, we are warm and snug and I hired someone to take care of the snow! Say hello to the sun for me. Kris
ReplyDeleteMelisa - there is so much to like about your post! My daughter is into small campers, and our son in law loves vintage trucks. In fact, I recently finished a cross-stitch stocking with a vintage truck for our son in law. I hope you enjoy your upcoming camping trip! If you have time, I am number 22 on the linky for Slow Sunday Stitching - I am joining for the first time! Happy New Year!
