So what do you think? I think it will be boo koos of fun. Now I may not get to post on Instagram each day or respond to messages because Mr. Pinker and I have loaded up the old camper and are booking it down the road to a warmer destination for a few weeks. We do not always have internet service. But when I do have service , I will be sure to pop in .And speaking of popping in - I hope you do not mind if I pop in with regular posts as well. That may mean 2 post a day. Eeeh !
Whether you stitch along with me or not, I sure would be overjoyed if you drop in and visit me as my nimble fingers are stitching away because you have a heavy task upon your shoulders-- keeping me motivated. Hee! Hee! You know I love you don't you? 😊🤗
Alrighty , I will stop the jabbering. I will see you in the next post.
As Always,
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all
Melisa
Thank you for the sweet visit.

Hugs and Stitches!!!!🤗🧵❤
Dedicated to my baby sister, Amy. Love and miss you, Amo.
I am joining these lovely ladies' link parties. I hope you check them out; they always have so many wonderful projects going on and provide the opportunity for other needle workers to meet.

You've managed to hit another one right of the ball park. Very, very cute Mz Melisa. Have a lovely Sunday dear friend. We'll chat again very soon. Big Ole Texas sized hugs!!!! Darlene J
ReplyDeleteI can not tell you how excited I am , Darlene. I have been dreaming of this SAL for some time. Thank you so much for the compliment. Big Bear Hugs from the holler!! Oh, and Happy New Year!
DeleteHappy New Year, Melisa!! Looking forward to a great year with you.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful embrodery, Melisa
ReplyDeleteRegards
Have a safe and wonderful getaway, Melisa--I will be following your Winter embroidery (even tho' not actually stitching it!) and wishing I could make my fingers nimble once more! But that's how it goes, right?
ReplyDeleteWere you able to ring in the New Year at midnight?? I certainly couldn't!! Hahaha--" Early to bed, early to rise" kinda gal lately...hugs for a good journey Julierose
Wow! Another SAL! Yay! I can't wait to start on this one. I have the Autumn one in my storage box but...you know...I don't think I ever did the Spring one - HORRORS! :-) Gotta get one that one right away - spring will be here before we know it! Have a wonderful time on your trip to warmer climates! Happy New Year my friend and thank you so much for your generous spirit! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful trip! I stitched all of the Autumn stamps and used them as a bowl filler on my dining room table this fall. Can't wait to start the Winter stamps and soon the Strawberry stamps. Working on all of the snowman patterns you have shared and excited to get those displayed for winter. And of course checking off each and every Saltbox pattern which is what got me hooked on your blog!! Here in Kansas they are predicting 5-8 inches of snow this weekend - yikes!! Safe travels and looking forward to hearing all about the wonderful places you travel to. Carrie
ReplyDeleteThanks for mystery winter E.Pratt
ReplyDeleteYou know me, I'm always behind with your SALs and this one will be no different. LOL I will be collecting the parts though. I hope you and Mr. Pinker have safe travels and wonderful adventures. Happy New Year, dear Melisa!
ReplyDeleteI knew I should have brought all my thread along and the cloth, but I didn't listen to that part of my brain, haha. Well there is always time later on to come back and stitch it:) Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing, Melisa! This looks to be another of your wonderful SAL's. Happy Travels to you both as well...warmer climes sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI am really excited about this SAL and though I have less time with my working hours since September, I'm going to push myself to do this one, I know I'm going to love it! Can't wait to see the reveal of each stamp and what a wonderful way to start the new year. Happy New Year Melisa!!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Happy New Year!! Looks like a fun stitch along! Stay safe and warm. I don't think anywhere in the southeast from Texas to Florida is going to be warm the next two weeks...at least from what I saw last night! This S-word has even been mentioned for the south! Happy and safe travels. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed seeing all your stitching projects. I think I'll jump in on this one. To keep up, is another matter. Thanks a bunch. May we all have a safe and productive year ahead!
ReplyDeleteYou really do make me want to go find my Aida cloth, but I'm going to resist as I already have too many stitching projects on the go. But it will be fun to see this one come together.
ReplyDeleteOh, Fun!! The little peeks show some really pretty things to come! Safe travels, my friend.
ReplyDeleteMelisa, enjoy your trip with Mr. Pinker to warmer parts!! I am so excited about this stitch-along with you, I can hardly wait!! Off to tint some fabric...... Hoping to get this project finished before my scheduled Cataract surgeries in February. Looking forward to being able to stitch and see patterns with ease. Have the best time traveling and let us know when you can where you are in your trek. Sending you warm and tons of hugs from sunny Arizona.
ReplyDeleteI wish you and you family a very happy and healthy 2025 !
ReplyDeleteI’m so excited! I found the perfect display piece in a thrift store and now I’ll have three seasons to display!!!! Overjoyed! I would love to do your strawberry stamps in a picture portrait such as this as well. A gingerbread theme would also make me do cartwheels! Oh the possibilities! Thank you for your kindness! Enjoy your trip and saying prayers for health in the coming new year!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I hope 2025 brings you all that you need. Your stitch a long sounds like a lot of fun!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteCan you estimate how many stitches you get with DMC on 14 ct using 2 strands? I need help knowing how many skeins of each color I may need. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI would love to stitch along with you, Melisa! I've made individual stamps from several of the little designs in Summer and Autumn, but maybe I'm ready for something bigger now. Looking forward to getting started! Have a wonderful trip!
ReplyDeleteMelisa, I am so excited about this upcoming SAL. I have completed and framed the two previous projects and have been hoping you would have time to create a Winter sampler. Thanks so much for taking the time with your busy schedule to create this project. Looking forward to the upcoming weeks to see what you have planned!
ReplyDeleteOh Melisa, I’m so excited about the new Sal. I have the Summer and Autumn and was waiting for the Winter one. Tomorrow, I’ll pull all the thread and cut my fabric and then I will I be ready to go. Hope you and hubby have a great trip and enjoy the warm weather. Loved seeing all your posts of your pretties. Happy NewYear my friend. 🤗♥️
ReplyDeleteI am so excited! Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteBoth the SAL and the road trip sound like so much fun! I am in the middle a large x stitch project in an SAL right now but I'll be following along as this just might be my next project. Time to hit the road and start the new year off right (nwpaintedlady)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it will be great fun Melisa. ☺️ Now to find Aida and some dye. Safe travels my friend. 🙋♀️ Warm wishes, Barbara @flashinscissors 🥰👍xxx🙋♀️💜💜💜 PS re Let it snow - definitely patchwork, still searching for just the right colours. 😆🙋♀️👋xxx
ReplyDeleteVery excited for this project.
ReplyDeleteThis is soooo tempting!
ReplyDeleteoh yay another sal. this one will be fun. I did notice your papers say Winter Stamp Sal 2024. Not 2025. I'm excited to see the little stamps. I love your other season stamp series too! Have a great trip. I just bought some blue rit today so i'm going to have to get to dyeing..
