Hello Sunshine! And a very lovely day to you!
I finished a quick wee stitch with some of my favorite things- a cabin, the flag and a sunflower. Is it ok if I say that I think it is as cute as a button? Hee! Hee! 😁😀❤🤗
This is called Summer Cabin!
For a quick finish, I just framed it with 2 inch unfinished fabric strips and then quilted it in the ditch. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy! After adding a little blue binding,- Wahlah! -I had a cute little quilt to add to my table.
Did you notice my little stack of bowls? They are old salad bowls that I painted. In one, I have taken strips of fabric and covered Easter eggs and made little rag balls from scraps as well. I can not stand to throw away anything. Lol. Not even the teeniest bits of scraps.

Alrighty, y'all that is my wee share for the day. I do need to be working on fall stitching . Gosh I am so far behind, but I have found that I am seasonal stitcher and like to focus on whatever season it is. How about you? Are you a seasonal stitcher or quilter?
As Always...
Happy quilting and stitching, y'all

Hugs and Stitches!!! 🤗❤🧵
Dedicated to my sweet baby sister, Amy . I love and miss you so much, Amo! 💗💗💗
Summer is a piece that I shared earlier.
I too am a seasonal stitcher. Hard for me to think too far ahead. I guess we live in the moment! Thank you for all share, your blog is one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that I am not the only seasonal stitcher. LOL. With the warm weather, it has been hard to move on to fall stitching, but I guess I should . Thank you so much, Susie. You really made my day. Hugs.
DeletePeek a Boo I see you!!! LOL Love the log cabin - very sweet indeed. I haven't stitched one of your house freebies in quite a while - it's time!!! Enjoy your Tuesday. Darlene J
ReplyDeleteEeeh ! Happy Tuesday, Darlene! You always bring the biggest smile to my day. I hope you enjoy this little cabin. It was a super simple quick stitch. Have a wonderful day and stay cool. It is a hot one here in the holler. So I will be sitting down to the sewing machine soon. Hugs.
DeleteMelisa, your Summer Cabin is stinkin adorable. Love it. I am also a seasonal stitcher who sometimes gets sidetracked and will just stitch anything. 😂😂😂🧡🤗
ReplyDeleteLOL, Patti. I think I am more like you. I get side tracked too. Hee! Hee! But I do love the seasonal stitching. I hope you are having a terrific Tuesday. Enjoy your day sweet friend. and thank you for the giggles. Hugs.
DeleteLove your new design! Thank you. I'm not a very seasonal stitcher unless you count Christmas ornaments I make for family. I don't do seasonal quilts - I usually quilt what's going on - for instance, my son called yesterday and said he was getting married to his girl friend of 3 years. So, another quilt to be made! And that's how I quilt! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI love that, Donna! Just working on what you want when you want. I have gotten to where I enjoy creating quilts that can be out for any season though I still love my patriotic and fall quilts. Aah , Congratulations to your son on his upcoming marriage. I wish him and his bride to be the very best. I am sure you and the whole family are excited. So you have some planning to do. Have you already figured out a design for the quilt and color? I know it will be a beauty. Have a fabulous evening. Hugs.
DeleteYour summer cabin stitchery came out beautifully. I tend to be a whatever I feel like stitcher. Problem is I don't feel like hand stitching at all these days. Hope you find some fun fall themes for your next project.
ReplyDeleteI have those days that sometimes runs into weeks where I do not want to stitch as well. Or I will just want to focus on one project or another which is hard when another part of my mind wants to work on them all. LOL. Thank you so much for the Tuesday visit, Kate. Enjoy your afternoon. Hugs.
DeleteSuch a cute cabin for Summertime:))) Love those rag balls...great idea...they look great in that
ReplyDeleteblue bowl ...Do you glue them on at all?
Expecting rain showers here today as that cold front moves by us--hoping for cooler weather.
[Haircut appt this noon--new person-- ack???? My hair isn't easy]
...hugs, julierose
It sounds like you have a busy day in store for you. I hope your hair appointment goes well. It will be nice to get some rain and cooler temps. We are not expecting rain until maybe next week, but the temps are supposed to go up. Yikes! LOL. I do use a bit of hot glue to tack the fabric strips to the eggs or round balls. I made those years ago and have been saving strings to make a few more. Have a great evening, Julierose.
DeleteI love the Summer Cabin design and I love how you finished it, Melisa. It makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Robin. It was a super quick and simple stitch . I really enjoyed it. I thought about my Granny as I worked on it. She lived in a little log cabin, but hers was surrounded by pine trees. Enjoy your day, sweet friend. Hugs.
DeleteYour summer cabin is just adorable and has a perfect finish! Thank you for sharing your talent with us! I love this little stitch!! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteAaaw thank you so much, Brenda. It was a fun little piece to work on . I was thinking last night I need to create a fall quick stitch. I have a beautiful day, Sweetie. Hugs.
DeleteI am still trying to figure out my stitching schedule. I'd like to be one season ahead so that I can enjoy my new pieces during it's season. I love Summer Cabin and will add it to my long list of Pinker N Punkin designs I want to stitch. Thank you, as always, Melisa.
ReplyDeleteThat is what I would like to do , Jeanna. I have certain days that I spend a few minutes on "different seasonal stitches" but I would love for my main focus to be a season ahead. Oh well, I guess as long as we are enjoying the process. LOL. Thank you so much, Jeanna. Have a great evening. Hugs.
DeleteSummer Cabin reminds me of an Irish log cabin that sat on the property my parents rented when I was a kid. The cabin is part of the local historical museum now.
ReplyDeleteOh how interesting, Meari. It is good to know that the cabin is being preserved for others to enjoy now. I have an affection for log cabins. My Granny lived in one for many years.
DeleteThank you for the sweet Tuesday visit. Have a blessed day.
Looks like you had a great vacation! Sometimes I think I am a seasonal stitcher and other times I don't think I am. Since I recently retired, I am trying to figure out what my day to day schedule should be. How can I send you a private message? Nothing bad, its all good. Thank you for all you do for us!!!
ReplyDeleteOh we had a fantastic time, Sonja. I look forward to heading out again here soon. I sorta flip flop on my routine. I always have a focus piece that seems to be seasonal though. If you look in my profile you will find my email. I look forward to hearing from you, Sonja. Have a blessed day . Hugs.
DeleteIsn't that a cute one?! I love how you finished it, too. I bet this was a fun one to stitch - well, all of your designs are, Melisa! I am a seasonal stitcher, too - I'm just about to be ready for some fall projects!
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun one not only to stitch but to finish. I do need to make more "quilted finishes" for my cross stitch. I think I am about ready for fall too, especially after seeing that fall decor is coming out in stores. I can not wait to see your fall projects, Diann. Hugs.
DeleteThanks for the cute design.As I’m also a quilter, I love the finish. I am also a seasonal stitcher.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Gail. I enjoy making the small quilt finishes. They are easy and very relaxing. Do you like to make seasonal quilts too? I am beginning to work on a little fall stitching and have pulled out my warm autumnal fabrics for quilting. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteWhat a great companion piece to "Summer". Both have the wonderful late summer sunflowers. I was beginning to wonder about you. It's been a little bit since we had a visit. Hope all is well. How is your garden? We've been harvesting pretty regular here. Tomatoes, peppers, summer squash, green beans. All tastes so good and fresh! I need to buy some bacon. Got a hankering for a BLT with fresh tomatoes. Doesn't that sound good?!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these were fast stitches and I love that I can bring them out early and leave them out until Labor Day. We have been doing pretty good in the holler. Just staying busy with the grandkids and running around on camping trips. Well the garden is done for the year. It just did not produce. We do have a few tomatoes - enough to keep our tummies filled. We have also visited a farm a county over for produce. Mmmm a BLT sounds delicious! I had a big ole mater sandwich with mayonnaise the other day. There is nothing like fresh maters. I had a wonderful slice of sweet watermelon for lunch today. It sounds like your garden has been bountiful. How wonderful to have all of those veggies ripe for the picking. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteLovely embrodery Melisa!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Aah thank you very much, Isabel. It was a delight to stitch and share. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteSaw this on your latest post and realized I somehow missed this post. Thank you for the pattern Melisa, I love it!
