Why wait till next years RSC? Since you've already done green blocks for May, I think you will really want to continue on during the following months.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Jenny for the encouragement. The more that I think about it. I do believe I will add it in for this year's RSC. It was such a fun and quick block to piece. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteNice green blocks for this month. Keep adding blocks each month. These will make a great colourful quilt Gail at the cozy quilter
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much , Gail for the sweet encouragement. I do believe I will keep adding. This was a fun block to work on. Have a great weekend. Hugs.
DeleteThe green block looks very springy! The fruit salad sounds good and healthy. I baked a crustless rhubarb custard pie today, not so healthy but delicious!
ReplyDeleteHow yummy! I have not had rhubarb pie in years . I love it! I was tempted to buy a rhubarb plant earlier this spring. I wish I had. Thank you so much for the sweet Saturday visit, Gretchen.
DeleteI'm with Jenny on this one. Why stop now that you have started? It makes a good scrapbuster too. You always have such lovely pictures. Love the green tatting with the green bowl and glass. So cute! Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much Chantal. I saw the design and started it on a whim, but I do believe I will continue on. I am so happy how the blocks turned out. And thank you so much for the sweet compliment on my little green vignette. You brought a smile to my day. Hugs.
DeleteI say, play with your scrappy green blocks as long as they doing so brings you joy ... Then set them aside for next month or next year! : )
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Michelle. That is a great idea. I do believe I will do that. These blocks certainly made for a happy afternoon of piecing. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
Deletegood afternoon Melisa.
ReplyDeletei am so happy to hear from you today. my daughters, Angela and Andrea, took me to the San Diego Zoo for an early Mother's Day gift. it was so much fun. we had "a before the zoo" opened panda presentation and the pandas are so adorable. they are on loan to us from China and it was a real treat to see them up and eating their bamboo first thing this morning. the female panda is 4 years old and the male is 6 years old. they can begin breeding at 6-7 years old and it will be interesting to see if we have a little baby panda in the next few years. of course, i had to see my majestic elephants and that to me is always amazing. we then walked the zoo for a few hours and then proceeded onto lunch. i am beat!!! it was hot, hot, hot here today and i think the heat wore me out. all in all a very special day. i'm sure i'll hear from my son tomorrow. so looking forward to it.
thank you so much for the RSC information. i did print the pattern and just may make a Christmas RSC quilt. thank you for the idea Melisa. you're wonderful!!!
my tomatoes are doing very well and they need watering again tonight. they are definitely thirsty little devils. i imagine with all this heat they do need lots of water.
i wish you a very wonderful Mother's Day Melisa. stay good to yourself. it's your day. perhaps Mr. Pinker will put some steaks on the barbee!!!
blessings and love are on the way to you. hugs.

Oh, Debra, it sounds like you had the most delightful Mother's Day out and about. The zoo sounds amazing especially the pandas. I do hope that there will be baby pandas in the zoo's not so distant future though the female has a few more years to go- how interesting ( I didn't know that). I have to admit that elephants are one of my favorites as well along with the chimps ( not everybody likes them Hee! Hee!) I haven't been to a zoo in years. I am so glad you printed the pattern out. There were lots of cute ones there wasn't there? I need another project like a hole in the head, but I just couldn't resist. LOL. It sounds like your tomatoes are doing fabulous. I haven't seen mine in a couple of days because it has been raining which is nice. I wish you a wonderful Mother's Day . Do something very special for yourself. Sending big hugs and love from the holler-.
DeleteAbsolutely lovely! I also love your blog header, it is very pretty and heartwarming and matches your blog background. Warm greetings from Montreal, Canada.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Linda. You are so very kind. I bet you can guess that I love the color red. LOL. I wish you a wonderful weekend and Happy Mother's Day. Hugs.
DeleteLoving the green blocks!!! Actually, I love everything. teehee I need to learn how to "swish and swoosh". You'd be my perfect teacher because you definitely swish and swoosh like a pro. LOL Very little stitching or sewing happening here. I've been helping my neighbor friend. We spent most of today doing some prep cooking for the week. And I've been struggling with a worrisome health challenge, so I've been having some tests done. Crazy and hectic week. Ugh!!! I'm planning to spend a little time this evening and tomorrow with a needle and thread. Happy Mother's Day, my sweet friend!!! Lots of big hugs, Darlene J
ReplyDeleteLOL I swish and swoosh like a mad woman. Hee! Hee! And sometimes I actually get a little bit completed. I had a ball piecing this easy peasy block. I am so sorry to hear that you have been going through some health challenges. You are in my thoughts and prayers. The worry can often be the worst. Do take care. I know you have a lot on your plate right now , but I do hope you do something for yourself that brings you joy even if just a few minutes. I wish you a Happy Happy Mother's Day. Love ya' Hugs.
DeleteYour green blocks look terrific! Your patriotic pieces are terrific! Happy Mother's Day!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, dear Terry. These little blocks were super fun to piece. I think I will pull out more scraps and piece a few more. Have a very Happy Mother's Day . Warm hugs.
DeleteBeautiful green blocks, Melisa.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing for a rainy day is to take refuge in sewing and embroidery, painting, knitting, reading...
A hug
Well, I totally agree with others, your green blocks are adorable, keep going! I love the fabrics you picked, and this pattern is lovely. Love the green threads in the cockerels too ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing and linking up. Hugs.
This appears to be a wonderfully easy block that packs a real wow. As quickly as these were to do up, the RSC from previous months could be done to catch up and definitely added to your monthly rotation. Great idea. It's rainy here today, too. Thought we might get some planting done but not in the mud. Enjoy your Mother's Day. What a yummy fruit salad recipe. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe green blocks are definitely a keeper to me! The recipe sounds great. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI like your block, thanks for the link to the pattern. Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteVery fun block. It would make a great RSC project. I've been playing with scrap project ideas in EQ. I need to finish a few quilts before I start something new.
ReplyDeleteThat would make a great RSC block! I love the colors you've chosen! Thanks for joining in on Home Matters Linky Party! I will be featuring your post this week! #HomeMattersParty xx
ReplyDeleteLook at you all planned ahead for next year!! I don't even know what I am doing today! ( Help!!)
