It's a Finish- Harvest Season

 Better late than never! Well , that is what Nanny always said. 😀

Welcome, y'all  and a lovely winter's day to you.

 This post has been long overdue. In fact, you can tell by the photos that I finished my little quilt in late fall of last year. 




Why in molasses was I so slow in posting? Hmm I do not know. Time just got away from me. 😊🤔


Last year I posted a little freebie called Harvest Season... 


...which included four simple doodles. 


I embroidered the little doodles on 4" finished squares using 2 strands of DMC 898 using the backstitch. 
 



I framed the blocks using 1 1/2" strips. 


A simple leaf fabric was used for the backing and binding. They had been in my stash for at least a decade. 


I look forward to adding this week quilt to my fall collection this year. I think it will be quite  cute with my squirrel collection. 

Speaking of squirrel. I never showed you my thrifty finds that I purchased for mere pennies-  wee souvenir vintage Colorado sugar and creamer set. 


Little acorns are on the backside. Eeeh! They grab my heart! ❤


Well y'all that is my post in a nutshell. Thank you so much for stopping by. Hope your day is a fantastic one! Love and kisses!

As Always, 

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, y'all

Melisa

Thank you for the sweet visit.

  3. Your mini-quilt is so cute - I've thought about making some but where to put them?! :-) Your Colorado sugar and creamer set is darling! I would have grabbed that too! I love your mini sampler with the squirrel - I know you have a bunch of these...have you by any chance done a parade of these? Blessings!

  8. Adorable. I was wondering how you managed to have so much autumnal decor and projects out at this time of year. ;) The sugar and creamer set is perfect. Such sweet squirrelly things.

  10. Sweet finish for Harvest Season. Love your doodles very much, they always bring a smile to my face. I am still working on Winter; it should be finished (stitching) this Monday. Now, to be honest when will I get it framed, unknown. I need to make a little trip to the thrift store to see what is handy there, lol. Sending warm hugs from sunny Arizona.
