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 needleworkers to meet.
Angela of So Scrappy for Scrap Happy Saturday
Your picture with the blue treasures put a huge smile on my face. I like blue almost as much as I love red. Your blue plus blocks are wonderful. I snickered when I imagined you coming up with a handful of blue strings. LOL Of course I love the Bunny House Saltbox. I'm glad the snow has melted however I'm sorry it's still really cold. Stay warm and keep your needle threaded. Happy Saturday! DarleneJ
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday, dear Darlene. It was fun to pull together all of the blue treasures. I agree it is one of my favorite colors as well. LOL it feels like an adventure when I dive into my scrap bins- they are stuffed to the gills. I do need to whittle them down. I wish you a lovely weekend at the sewing machine. Did you get your small quilts completed? Warm hugs.
DeleteI made the six I told you about but they aren't quilted and bound yet. I had plans to sew today but those plans fizzled. LOL I'm prepping some handwork so that kept me busy today. Big Tight Hugs, DarleneJ
DeleteYou are getting ready to garden? We're snow covered here in northern Indiana. Your plus quilt is going to be so cute. The needlework pansies remind me of some projects my mother made years ago. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteI do love all shades of blue. And anything blue and white. Your blog header is right up my alley. Happy crafting!
ReplyDeleteLove your new quilt - anything with scraps has my full attention! :-) Looks like your homestead is getting ready for spring with the green growing around. It looks like our old house when we were waiting for the final thaw before tilling. Have a great day. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteYour blue stitching is really pretty Melisa. Love the photos of your land!
ReplyDeleteA symphony of blue fabrics to sew these beautiful blocks made from scraps!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend, Melisa!
Hugs
I ❤️blue!!! The crosses will be beautiful!
ReplyDeletethose blue crosse are just so lovely--all so softly colored and vintage looking--beautiful work on these, Melisa--I really do love a blue quilt...I will need to refurbish my "blues" stack--only mediums and darks left right now...
ReplyDeleteA bit mor temperate today here-- at least up in the mid 20's so far...I am tired of the bitter cold days we've been having. Mostly though it's that strong wind that keeps me mostly inside...Hope to do some more work on Dark Days today...my "Comfort Cloth" for this
crazy world .....hugs, Julierose
It would be wonderful if the snow was gone here in Eastern Kansas - we have had close to 30" so far this winter and the grandchildren have missed so much school since the first of the year due to snow and sub zero temperatures. I have stitched almost all of your Snowman cross stitch patterns and you have one on your home page that I think you called Snow Bucket - do you have a pattern for that? I just love and adore all of your patterns. Working month by month on all of the houses - your designs are so beautiful - enjoy your weather there! Carrie
ReplyDeleteI love your photo of the blues at the top of your post, Melisa! Such fun! Your scrappy plus blocks are great. I love that surrounding sashing that you're giving them, too. I see green in your outdoor photo - Spring is coming!
ReplyDeleteYour blue plus blocks are so pretty, Melisa! I don't think I've ever made a blue quilt but I love blue and yellow together! Have a great weekend and let's get this cold weather back up north where it belongs! LOL Hugs.
ReplyDeleteBlues are always so pretty! It will feel good to get back into our gardens. Happy weekend piecing and quilting :) (nwpaintedlady)
ReplyDeleteI am eagerly looking forward to getting into my yard and garden, awaiting the surgeons ' release for bending down and heavy lifting. 2 weeks seems like forever, lol. I absolutely love blue and white quilts; I have a hug basket (laundry size) awaiting my sewing machine. I think you have just inspired my next quilt project, ha-ha. Hopefully your grands do not have the painful class at home when there is snow to play in all day!! Sending warm hugs to you and all that are having some very chilly weather. Arizona is warming up nicely, hoping for a long spring!!
ReplyDeleteHi Melisa As usual you're very busy! Love everything you do and wish I could do half as much as you do! I love your quilting and of course your cross stitching. We are still pretty cold here and that's ok I am not ready for warmer weather yet.... miss you on Instagram! Hugs Christina
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty blue plus blocks.
