Butterfly Weed is in bloom and the butterflies are happy! So that makes me happy!
Saturday Salutations! Has your weekend started out as a delightful one? I sure hope so.

Me? Well Mr. Pinker and I are camping again! I know ! I know! I bet you are thinking - doesn't that gal ever stay home. LOL. Well since Mr. Pinker has retired we have been keeping the roads hot! But yes, my weekend is starting off nicely.
Anywhooo. I think it is time to cut into some fabrics
All tied up in a pretty ribbon. I have had these fat quarters for years.
Some of these pretties will be used in the RSC blocks.

2 1/2" strips are cut.

| Oooh, butterfly fabric! 🦋🧡🧡🧡 |
Time to make some orange "On the Plus Side" blocks.
I will then use some of the pretty fat quarters to cut out some hexies. I need 5 more hexies flowers before I begin to applique them .

On the road again!!! Don't forget to have fun!! Love the orange blocks. Can't wait to see more. Of course, I'm crazy about your hexies. If you were to look back to early 2023 you'd see a pile of hexies I worked on for a bit. Then I got distracted and set them aside. Big Sigh! Anyway, I've been working on them again and thoroughly enjoying the stitching process. I couldn't click on the Pam Buda freebie to download it but that's ok. Lately I've been back on my small quilts kick and enjoying those projects, as well. Happy trails to you and Mr Pinker with loads of hugs, Darlene J
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a lovely time.
ReplyDeleteWe just returned from France. We were there for only a week, because the temperatures were way to high for me.
Make the most of every day!! I'm glad you're staying active and out and about. Those fabrics are fabulous. Hugs
ReplyDeleteTravel while you can I say--hope your trip is a good one...:)))
ReplyDeleteVery pretty fabrics you are cutting into. Love that Orange Plus block--orange and white always reminds me of yummy creamsicles;))) Hugs, Julierose
I'm anxious to see what you will do for those hexies, they are so pretty. Happy camping:)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see where you're going!
ReplyDeleteLovely fabrics you are cutting into, Melisa! Have fun galivanting with Mr. Pinker!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the freebie alert on Pam Buda's blog. I'm sorry she's going to be discontinuing her blog so I went and signed up for her newsletter. I'm so bad at my emails!! YIKES! Glad you and Mr. Pinker are enjoying retirement. Hope you took your hexies to work on!
ReplyDeletegood morning beautiful Melisa.
ReplyDeletelike my mom used to say "i've got itchy feet" which always meant it was her time to travel again. you and Mr. Pinker must have itchy feet. it is so wonderful that you are able to travel the United States. it is absolutely fantastic. i wish it was me. i'd love to see the amazing USA up close and personal. i am, however, traveling along with you both by observing the lovely photos you share. please keep them coming - i love it!!!
i hope you are able to visit some thrift shops and find many new treasures. you always come out with the best. i am going to go to some thrift stores in the very near future. perhaps i can find some goodies as well.
i found two worms on my tomato plant. it's my cherokee purple. i was wondering why the leaves were disappearing. dirty rotten scoundrels. i pulled them off and flushed them. those two are gone for good.
Melisa i am wishing you safe travels. enjoy your adventures. America is an awesome country with so much to see.
blessings and love are coming your way.

Ooh, those fat quarters are so pretty! I'm a sucker for florals and butterflies,. Never know how to use them in my projects, but I have a large collection of my own. Safe travels, stay cool and hydrated, it's getting warm.
ReplyDeleteHave fun and enjoy your camping trip!
ReplyDeleteI am so envious of you!! Enjoy your time camping and exploring! Your fabrics are wonderfully summer colorful, can't wait to see the end product. Sending warm hugs from sunny hot Arizona, we are on the summer schedule of hot, hotter, hottest days.
