A Terrific Tuesday to you, Sweet Friends! Are you ready for an awesome day? I sure am.
We are expecting some early morning showers, but hopefully, the sun will pop out by mid day. Yesterday we had several showers and even one thunderous storm, but fortunately, there was no damage. I spent the day piecing away on quilt blocks listening to the pitter patter of rain on the rooftop- a perfect day for this gal. It was not until late in the evening that I was able to stitch.
Speaking of stitching, I have a "stitch" to share with you that I stitched up way back in 2021. I meant to share it last year, but time got away from me.
It is called Harvest Home.
Harvest Home is a bright blue home with glowing orange windows. It sits upon a hill which is filled with pumpkins, crows and corn as well as one lone scarecrow that is not doing his job. Look at all those crows!! Shoo! Shoo! Hee! Hee!
I stitched Harvest Home on 14 count coffee/tea dyed aida. The design size is 80"x 80" and on 14 count aida, it would measure about 5 3/4" squared. I finished my stitch on a little metal plaque that I found at the thrift store.
There are 13 DMC floss colors in Harvest Home which includes: 310, 311, 407, 434, 646, 720, 814, 838, 931, 972, 3345, 3371, and 3823.

This is a larger design so I am posting a larger print version of the symbol chart. I hope that helps.
So tell me have you started working on fall quilting and stitching?
Have a fun fabulous day and thank you for taking time out of your busy day to spend it with me. Love ya'! 😘🤗
As Always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, ya'll
Melisa
Thank you does not even begin to express how grateful I am .
Hugs and Stitches!!!!🤗🧵❤
Dedicated to my dear sister, Amy. I love and miss you so much. You were and will always be a blessing in my life. Love you , Amo.
Ma'am what is this thing called "showers" you speak about. I experience showers in my shower stall and if I go outside and play with the water hose. Playing with the water hose is lots of fun. teehee!
ReplyDeleteI love your Harvest House freebie - perfect colors. Thank you once again for sharing your talent. Have a very happy Tuesday! DarleneJ
LOL, I wish I could send you bucket loads of the rain we have had , Darlene and then you could dance in the rain. Hee! Hee! It has been unusual for us to have this much rain this time of the year, but I welcome it. Aaw thank you so much on my little house. It was a fun little project to work on . Have a wonderful day and stay cool. Hugs.
DeleteThank you so much for this design of such a beautiful little house!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Pilarín
Aaw you are so very welcome, Pilarin and thank you for dropping by to see my latest humble home. Have a beautiful and blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteSuch a lovely design--thank you Melisa for sharing this! I see a cute "Fall" stitch sitting to the left of the house--is that one of yours too??
ReplyDeleteAaah you are so very welcome. Harvest Home was a joy to stitch and share. Isn't that "Fall" stitch the cutest? It was a freebie that I found on Pinterest. If you go to my Pinterest page I have it pinned under "Fall Cross Stitch". I am not sure who the designer is, but it was a quick stitch. If you have any questions just let me know. I hope you find it okay. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteThis is another superb pattern Melisa! I love how it seems to shine - the door and the quilt appear to eminate light! Thank you for giving us the size of the fabric, I really do struggle to work out how much I need. 😁🩷 I love your colours and look forward to stitching this one day, once my eyes recover from my imminent cateract surgery. 😆
ReplyDeleteThank you for another wonderful post and freebie stitch, very much appreciated. Have a lovely Tuesday dearest Melisa. 😁👍🙋♀️💜💜💜xx Barbara @flashinscissors
Aaw thank you so much, Barbara. The bright cheerful colors spoke to me. I was so fortunate to find the metal plaque to put it own ; I think it helps to colors pop too. I hope your surgery goes well. I bet you will be stitching in a few weeks after your surgery . I know you are counting the days till this is over with. I wish the best, sweet friend. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteThank you so much Melisa. 🤗🥰😘🩷🩷🩷🙋♀️xx
DeleteI love the harvest house. I'm so ready for Fall stitching. Thank you for sharing with us. Trying to hold on to Summer this week. It is my last week before heading back to school/work. Spending the week at the beach. I brought some stitching with me. I hope I can finish. I finished your flag sampler last night and have a Christmas and Fall piece to work on. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteA week at the beach , soaking up the rays sounds delightful, Joy. I hope you enjoy every minute of it especially since you will soon be heading back to work. It is hard to believe that summer break is almost over and the kiddos will be heading back to school. I hope you have a good year. I am so touched that you took flag sampler along with you and was able to complete it. Enjoy your stitching time and your vacation. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteI love your Harvest House. 🧡🧡🧡🧡What a fun addition to your Pinker neighborhood. It will be ready to start soon. Thanks for sharing with us. You are awesome. I get to watch my granddaughters (14 and 16) for three days this week and a friends little dog for a couple weeks. It’s gonna be a busy few weeks. Hope to get some stitchy time in between. You have a blessed day my friend.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to be busy, Patti. I bet you will have a ball with your granddaughters. Do you have any special day trips or activities planned? I know you will love every minute of spending time with them. Enjoy your time with the girls. It is hard to believe that they will be heading back to school soon. Have a beautiful day, Patti. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteHarvest Home is very cute, so much detail. Perfect for the fall season!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Kate. This one took a lot longer stitch; it was one of those slow stitches that I sat back and enjoyed. Have a wonderful day . Hugs.
DeleteWhat a wonderful fall home!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Vicki. I enjoyed stitching this little house. The yard took some time , but it was a joy nonetheless. Have a beautiful day. Hugs.
DeleteI am envious of your "thunderous storm" but glad you got some rain. Harvest House is a cutie!
ReplyDeleteI about jumped out of my skin with some of the rumbles from last night's storms. But it was nice to have the rain. I think we will have a reprieve from the rain in the next few days. Enjoy these last couple of days of July, Linda and thank you for dropping by. Hugs.
DeleteHarvest Home is lovely, Melisa. We had some random rain bursts with some rumbles of thunder yesterday. More of that is in the forecast today!
ReplyDeleteI wondered if the rain headed your way. I hope there was no damage. I always worry about fallen trees . Hopefully it will cool things down in your neck of the woods. Thank you for the sweet visit. Have a lovely day stitching. Hugs
DeleteWhat a adorable stich. I think that scarecrow is just a friendly guy enjoying the company of all those crows. I'm not quite to fall yet...but soon.
ReplyDeleteLol I do believe you are right, Jeanna about the scarecrow. Hee! Hee! He most be a crow lover like me. LOL. I have to admit that I am not ready for fall yet. I am enjoying the summer weather, but I will start stitching more fall items soon. Have a wonderful day. Hugs.
DeleteI love the bright blue house. It glows in that setting!! Your creative brain is simply amazing!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Terry. The colors spoke to me on this one. It took me a little longer to stitch this one but I enjoyed every minute of it. Have a beautiful and blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteI so look forward to your posts, your stitching and displays always brighten my day. Thank you Melisa!
ReplyDeleteAaah I can not tell you how much that means to me. Your kind compliment certainly gives me encouragement and brightens my day. Your sweet visits means the world to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Have a beautiful day. Hugs.
DeleteOh, what a cozy little home stitch. The scarecrow is adorable! The fences on the sides of the house really add dimension. Thank you for another beauty of a house. I have been putzing a little with some Christmas projects. I am not the speediest so I start early.
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you kindly, Ginny. There is always been something about little white fences that has tugged at my heart. I always wanted one surrounding our yard and house but alas I can dream . LOL. I wish you a wonderful day working on Christmas . It is a good idea to work on them early rather than rushing come closer to Christmas time. I do need to work on some myself. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteI love this design! I am working on Crow Creek Manor right now and just added this to my Fall list
ReplyDeleteCarrie
Oh Carrie, I am so excited that you added Crow Creek Manor to your fall stitching. I hope you enjoy each and every stitch. I have a thing for crows and it is one of my favorites. I am so touched that you like this house as well. This one is a lot more stitching, but it was a joy to share it. Have a wonderful day and thank you for the sweet Tuesday visit . Hugs.
DeleteMelisa - we had a crows nest outside of our dining room windows this spring and now the "baby" crows - three of them, fly all over while we eat dinner at night. They are very huge "baby' crows at this point - haha
DeleteWhat a fun house design, Melisa! I especially love the yard full of pumpkins and crows. I haven't stitched any of your houses yet, but you're definitely tempting me!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday, Diann. Thank you so much for the kind compliment on Harvest Home . The yard took awhile to stitch especially with all of motifs in the yard, but it was a delightful piece to work on . I hope you have an awesome day. It is hard to believe we are inching into August isn't it? LOL. Happy quilting and stitching.
DeleteHarvest Home is another winner! All of your doings look so good!
ReplyDeleteAah thank you very kindly, Elaine. I had hoped to share Harvest Home earlier. It is always a favorite to pull out each fall season. I hope you are doing well and have been able to enjoy some time in the quilt room. Have a blessed day. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteHi, another lovely design. Harvest Home looks so nice. I am sure to stitch some of your houses in wintertime. It is always fun to visit your blog, it make my day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday to you, Gabi
You are so very kind, Gabi. Thank you so much. Harvest Home was a delight to work on as well as share. I hope you enjoy stitching my humble homes come winter time. It always seems like I get more completed during the winter . I guess it is having those longer evenings to work on stitching. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteWhat an adorable fall stitch, Melisa! I love it! Thanks for sharing your talent. Have a great day my friend. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Brenda. Harvest Home is one of my fall favorites. I wish you a great week . Hugs.
