Another fun project in your quilting room. Very cute scraps! Have fun.

DeleteThat was me - Darlene J
ReplyDeleteSometimes we just have to sew some scraps together to see what they look like, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteThat is so true, Gretchen. I had a great week working on this little scraps. I can not wait to work on the blocks. Happy quilting. Hugs.
DeleteYour scrappy blocks are looking good, Melisa. The yellow squares will look amazing attached to the slices.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Robin. I am excited to start a new quilt especially using all of these sunny scraps. Hugs.
DeleteOh my scrappy goodness! You are definitely up to your eyeballs in strippiness. Wouldn't you think think our scrap piles would shrink? Heck no -- they multiply when the sun goes down! Hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh they do multiply, Susie and so do my projects. LOL. I am having a ball working on these blocks. I can not wait to get them pieced together. Have a super week. Hugs.
Delete(Little Penpen) I love those happy little strips. It will be absolutely wonderful with the yellow squares!
ReplyDeleteAaaw thank you so much, Penny. These happy fabrics make my heart sing . I am having a great time on this new project. Have a fabulous week. Hugs.
DeleteYour "rails and trails" are so cute! Have fun "stripping" - lol!
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Linda. I am having a ball working on rails and trails. More fabric needs to be cut . Have an awesome week. Hugs.
DeleteWhat fun. . .rails and trails. . .the sunny yellow will be the perfect add to your strips and crumb blocks are always fun to view in a quilt!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to start a new quilt, Terry. This is a squirrel that I have been wanting to chase for a while. LOL. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteWhat a fun and sunny quilt that is going to be! Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Deb. I have always had a fondness for yellow quilts. I am excited to work on this one. Have a great week. Hugs.
DeleteYou picked a fun and summery name for your new quilt. I look forward to watching it come together.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Jeanna. I am super excited to finally begin this quilt. I made great progress on it this week. Have a wonderful week. Hugs.
DeleteLoving your new scraps and quilt idea! Looking forward to seeing more. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Donna. I made some great progress on it this past week. I can not wait to start piecing the blocks . Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteThis one is definitely going to be a happy quilt, Melisa! Love all the fun scrappiness! Rails and Trails is a great name for it! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Brenda. I am super excited to work on Rails and Trails. Have a great week in the quilt room. Hugs.
DeleteYou are helping pretty scraps grow up into a quilt;)
ReplyDeleteLOL that is so cute, Vicki. You made me laugh. Thank you so much for the sweet visit and giggles. Hugs.
DeleteI'm busy putting together 'kits' of various pre cuts (I've made from my scraps) & I'm waiting to see what you do next with the 4 piece parts and the yellow blocks. I'm thinking this might be another idea for a kit to have ready when I just want to sit down & sew. Can't wait to see where you go with this - and with the crumb blocks (I've also saved containers of those to be used later, too)! So far I have nearly 30 of the plastic shoe boxes full & ready to go with various blocks for each quilt. Thanks! Deb E
ReplyDeleteOh how fun Deb. I look forward to posting more about this quilt here soon. It would be a great quilt to kit up and work on. I have cut lots of strips and made great progress this week using them as a leader / ender. I hope to work on the next part to the block this week. Crumb blocks are always fun to work on. I am still debating on what to do with them. But it makes me happy to use up those little pieces. Have an awesome week. Hugs.
DeleteFirst let me say that I enjoy your blog and am addicted to your cross stitch patterns. Going through past postings of your blog, I saw a stitch from 2021 called "The Marcher of the Flag". It is so cute and I would love for you to post the chart for it....please!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much; your sweetness just warms my heart. And may I say that I am very honored. I also want to thank you for asking about that stitch, Laurie. I have an affection for patriotic women. I will try to pull that one together for posting soon. Maybe this week if I can get the chance. Have a wonderful week and Happy stitching. Hugs.
DeleteLove the cowboy and cowgirl pics. I have some embroidery patterns similar to them I want to start one day and make a table topper. I haven't been here in over a year because they quit sending me your blog posts. I had to sign on through FB to get to here. I hope they send them but I'm very doubtful. Not the most pleasant company to deal with-can't even reach out to them. I'm too old for this aggravation. I didn't want to go thru FB but I caved so I could get in here at least.
ReplyDeleteOh how interesting that you had to go through FB to get here. I am not very tech savvy and am not on FB so I am not sure how that works. You might try subscribing by email again. "Follow It" kicked me off of some of the blogs that I followed and I had to resubscribe. I am not sure why that happens, but I often have to check if I am not getting posts from blogs that I follow. Isn't technology so frustrating sometimes? I am so grateful that you dropped by for a sweet visit. You might just try going to Google and typing in Pinker n Punkin and it may show my blog to click on too. Have a blessed week. Hugs.
DeleteTwo new Mystery Quits! Where will you lead us? Scraps and Strings - Fun! And that sunny yellow is perfect for a sunshiny quilt.
ReplyDeleteLol Ginny. Often the quilts are a mystery to me as well. Hee! Hee! Right now the crumb quilt is a complete mystery as to what I will do, maybe it will come to me soon. Have a great week. Hugs.
DeleteLooks like a fun scrappy project. I need one of those too. Enjoy plaing with all those colors and sunny yellow.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Kate. I am super excited to work on a new quilt even if it is a squirrel. LOL. Happy quilting. Hugs.
