Flowers are blooming! Well , at least in the quilt room.
 |
| Around the Garden blocks in the works. |
I finished appliqueing 4 blue blocks in my Around the Garden quilt.
 |
| Using scraps from the scrap bag for appliques. |
I will be cutting fabrics for new blocks this week. I have not decided what type of flower will bloom in the new blocks. Hmmm , maybe a tulip.
OOPS - CORRECTION : I need to make a correction. In my previous posts about my On the Positive Side , I kept saying they were 12 1/2" . They are NOT . They are 10 1/2" unfinished. I am sorry about that.

| These blocks are 10 1/2" x 10 1/2" unfinished. |
After over a year, I finally fully finished Love Delivery. Love Deliver was a freebie that I shared last January. I had hoped to find a metal envelope to finish it on , but after waiting so long, I went with the good ole' pillow finish using vintage lace and a button from my stash. It is better done than sitting in the basket waiting, I say. 😏
After 4:00 the hot bar is 2 for $12.00.
We then may take a long romantic stroll in the Goodwill. Hee! Hee! ❤😀😁 It is Monday Mania where a certain color is priced at a $1.29- that's my kind of price .
Have a fabulous day, Sweeties!
As Always,
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all
Melisa

Joy at Days Filled with Joy for This and That Monday
I love your little flowers, so cute! You are giving me more ideas, happy stitching, happy shopping!
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Gretchen. I am winging it on this quilt but having a ball working on it. I think applique is my favorite. Have a wonderful day. Hugs.
DeleteYour quilty garden is certainly bright and pretty. Looking forward to seeing what flower you pick for March. Enjoy your errands.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Kate. I am working on the blocks as we speak. I think I will go with tulips but that is not set in stone yet. LOL. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteYour little flowers in your garden quilt are so pretty; love the shapes...nice appliqueing on these
ReplyDeleteOnly 16 degrees this morning --the 2nd day of our Arctic Blast here--;((( Hoping for some warmer temps later on this week...hugs, Julierose
Brrr 16 degrees! Oh my , do stay in and safe, Julierose. A good excuse to stitch the day away. I wish I could send you some of our sunshine. Thank you so much on my little garden quilt. It is coming along. Have a beautiful day. Warm hugs.
DeleteFood City and Goodwill sound like my kind of day!
ReplyDeleteLol you cannot get much better than that. Hee! Hee! A cheap meal and maybe some treasures to be found . Fingers crossed. Thank you so much , Linda for the sweet Monday visit. Hugs.
DeleteYour quilts are so happy! Love the colors. Romance and goodwill—yes!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Penny. At least I can play with flowers on my quilt until it is time for gardening. LOL. Cannot beat thrift shopping can you? Have a super day . Warm hugs.
DeleteAs soon as you said you were thinking of a new flower, I also thought "Tulip". Are you doing the Around the Garden blocks in the RSC colors, too? This quilt is just lovely! I had to take a second look at the children & tulip picture because I wasn't sure I read it correctly! It made me laugh. The Love Delivery pillow finish is so nice with that special button on the bow.
ReplyDeleteLol I did not see the fine print on the children's illustration. I am going to change that. I have been cutting the fabrics and working up the blocks today. Yes, I am going to use the RSC colors. Hopefully, I can stay on track. As I work on other projects, I am cutting fabrics and adding them to the Around the Garden bag to make work easier. Have a super day and thank you , sweet friend. Hugs.
DeleteI hope you find lots of treasures on your Goodwill hunt today.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Jeanna. Last week, I came home with a few clothes. You never know what you will find at the thrift stores. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteIt seems that everything on your blog is already filled with beautiful flowers when spring arrives, Melissa!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a good time on that shopping trip!
Have a blessed week, friend.
Aaah thank you so much, Isabel. The blooms certainly make me smile whether quilted or real. I wish you a beautiful day. Warm hugs
DeleteI love those flower blocks, Melisa! I didn't realize you were going to put a different flower in each color set - that is such a fun idea. Thank you for the links to the bunny designs - I stitched the sampler last year, but it would be fun to add some other bunnies to my bowl fillers for spring!
ReplyDeleteThat idea sorta came to me as a whim. I hope I can come up with several simple flower designs for each of the colors this year.I am having a wonderful time working on this quilt. Aaw I hope you enjoy the little bunny sampler. I am going to work on a bunny stitch tonight. I can not wait to see your bowl filled with spring goodness. Hugs and blessings.
DeleteAround the Garden is super sweet! Some daisies maybe another month might be cute too. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteOh, Susie that is a great idea. I am going to write that down. I just love daisies- I have never been able to grow them. But they are just as pretty as can be. Thank you for the sweet Monday visit and idea. I would appreciate any other suggestions , if you happen to think of any. Warm hugs.
DeleteThanks so much for sharing your stitching. I stitched and finished Cupid stamp and Love Delivery last month. Happy week!
ReplyDeleteAah I am so very grateful, Mylene. I hope you enjoyed every stitch. I was hoping to add a new Valentine's stitch this year , but time got away from me. I wish you a lovely week. Happy Stitching. Hugs.
DeleteI hope you and Mr. Pinker had a terrific day and a wonderful dinner! I'll be watching to see if you made any purchases! As for the finished needlework, finished and usable is preferable to sitting in the basket waiting!---TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteWe had a wonderful supper, Terry. It is nice to go out every now and then. I picked up a couple of ceramics but mostly clothes on this trip. You never know what you may find when thrifting. Oh yes, I am glad I finally finished Love Delivery. It will be ready for next year. Have a great day. Hugs.
DeleteYour Love finish is beautiful and I really love your flower blocks! I hope you had a great day and enjoyed the new "hot spot" for your meal out! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Brenda. I am glad to have Love Delivery finish. I was able to get a good start on the new flower blocks this evening. I am moving right along. LOL. Have a wonderful day. Warm hugs.
DeletePlease tell me you and Mr Pinker held hands while strolling through Goodwill. LOL A new "Hot Spot". Oh my, be still my hot spot loving heart. So many lovlies again, Mz Melisa. Happy Wednesday. Darlene J
