Sunny Sunday Salutations! Welcome ! I have my party shoes on! Today we are celebrating my daughters' birthdays .
The youngest is not home, but we will have a cake for her, and she will Face Time us during the celebration. The oldest has requested Mom's banana pudding for her birthday and Mr. Pinker's goulash.
After the party, I plan to work on my "Little Girls" quilt blocks.
It has been a spell since I have worked on these embroidered blocks actually since October 2023. These blocks are in memory of my sister. Sometimes the embroidered little girl has long hair sometimes short- sometimes brown hair sometimes blonde. Just like my sis- always changing hair styles.🤗❤💗
Each block has "words to live by". I may change the name of the quilt later.
Now onto the plans for the week.

Aaaw shucks. It sure is nice to be missed sweet Debra. LOL that search party would have found me piddling about in the yard this past week. I was plumb tuckered out by the evenings. Hee! Hee! But I did get the patios cleaned and now am ready to work on the gardens. We had a fabulous birthday celebration for the girls and the banana pudding was yummy! Mom makes it the old fashion way. Yum! Yum! Thank you for making my day, dear Debra. Have a fabulous day. Warm hugs and love. 😘🤗
DeleteHappy, Happy to your daughter, Melisa. Have a wonderful party! Hope you have a little time to sneak in some lovely stitching.
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Kim. The girls had a great day and we had a wonderful celebration with lots of yummy food. I even was able to sneak in some stitching time and quilted a bit afterwards. Have a wonderful week and Happy quilting. Hugs.
DeleteLittle girl Blocks are adorable, Melisa--what a lovely idea !! You have a great list of projects coming up for this week...I plan to clean my machine after winding 20 bobbins this afternoon and all the quilting this past week. I am so enjoying quilting your Strawberries...
ReplyDeleteHugs, Julierose
Happy Sunday, Julierose. I hope you had a great weekend. What a great idea on getting the bobbins prepared. I do need to do that. I always seem to run out of bobbin thread right when I am almost finished with a block. LOL. I can not wait to see your strawberries quilt. I hope you are enjoying every stitch. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteHappy Birthday to your girls, Melisa! Hope you had a fun day! Those little girls blocks that you're embroidering are adorable. They're such a sweet tribute to your sister, and the words are so meaningful. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Diann. They had a great day; it is hard to believe my girls are grown and gone. They are still my babies though. LOL. I am enjoying every stitch on the Little Girls blocks. I have already started dreaming of the next one. Have a great day. Hugs.
DeleteDid you have only the 2 girls or are there more kiddos? Wish them a Happy B'Day. I got to have a daughter much later in life. Raised the 2 boys when I was younger and with the energy they required, it was probably a good thing. Haha Your little girl stitches are just precious. Your design? The red & white "Fives" quilt is lovely with your milk glass pieces and all the other pretty pieces above. You are so good at juggling so many projects and keeping them all moving forward. Good on you!
ReplyDeleteHi, Ginny. I hope you had a great weekend. Yep, I was blessed with only 2 girls though I wish I had more children. Now that I have the grandsons and nephews, I know what you mean on needing energy to raise the boys. LOL. They are always at full speed , but come to think of it my girls were too. Oh yes, the Little Girls embroideries are my designs. I am drawing them as I come to each block. I look for little sayings and then draw them based on what my sis- would have done. I am enjoying this project. I wish you a wonderful week. Has it been warm enough to start prepping the garden yet?
DeleteHola bella Melisa muchas felicidades para tu hija. Deseo lo hayan pasado muy feliz en familia. Besos y abrazos de tu amiga
ReplyDeleteDianet
Aaaw thank you so much, sweet Dianet. The girls had a wonderful birthday. The family was able to come out and we had great food as well. I hope you are doing well. I bet you have been stitching away. It has been a spell since I have been on Instagram. I hope to get on it soon and see what pretties you have been working on. Warm hugs.
DeleteAwww…what a sweet way to celebrate birthdays – both long distance and in person!
ReplyDeleteI love how you are sweetly remembering your sister…good-byes are hard. Your blocks are precious! May I ask where you found the patterns? Your read and white buffet quilt is so pretty!
Aah thank you so much. The girls had a fabulous day even though one was not able to be here in person. Afterwards, I was able to work a little more on my embroidery. I am so touched that you asked about them. These are little designs that I am drawing. I am sorta drawing them as I come to them. I may post them after I finish all of the blocks. I am not sure how many there will be yet. I wish you a wonderful week . Warm hugs.
DeleteHappy, happy birthday to your girls!!! I know they had a lovely day. I double checked my pile of mail and then walked out to look in the mailbox - nope no invitation to the party was found. Big sigh - I forgive you, but I'll be there next year. LOL Darlene J
