Under the Trees

Good afternoon, y'all and Happy Slow Stitching Sunday

I am stitching under the trees today. πŸ˜€πŸŒ²πŸŒ³πŸŒ²πŸ•

Yep! Mr. Pinker and I are  on another camping adventure . Soooo, I took along my Flaming Butterflies quilt to work on this week. 


The first butterfly is all quilted. Aaah I think it is so lovely. πŸ’›πŸ¦‹πŸ¦‹πŸ¦‹ I do apologize for the poor photo; the filtered light makes it hard to see. 

I will next move on to quilting a Whatcha MaCall It  Block. 

Whatcha Ma Call It Block Tutorial was posted on April 29, 2024. 

 When I am not quilting, I will be spending the afternoons in this old hammock... 

Staring up at the leaves.πŸπŸ‚πŸƒ

 I hope to catch up with y'all when Mr. Pinker and I go into town. We do not have any service at camp so please forgive me about being late in visiting your blog and   responding to  your sweet visits as well.   Enjoy your day, and I hope you get in some slow stitching yourself. Love ya' ! 😘

As always,

Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all

  2. Melisa, your quilt looks gorgeous! Love the colours of that butterfly. You be careful in that hammock, looks far too dodgy to me! Have a lovely trip. πŸ™‹‍♀️πŸ‘πŸ‘‹πŸ€—xx Barbara @flashinscissors.

  3. I love how the butterflies seem to sparkle and shine. Such a beautiful quilt to honor your sister. Oh my that little quilt is adorable. Seriously adorable!!!! That may be "the one" that forces me to finally turn on my sewing machine. Time will tell. Oh, please enjoy your time with Mr Pinker - so nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Huge hugs, my friend. And a little hug for Mr. Pinker - LOL Darlene J

  4. I think with the view of the trees you've shown, I would be very tempted to put the hammock at the top of the choices list. I have only laid in a hammock once in my life and I absolutely loved it! Your in-progress pumpkin stitch and the brilliant red leaf in the photo smacks of Autumn. Our cooler nights are feeling like it's fast approaching. Enjoy your time away.
