A Slow Stitching Sunday

Hello, Sunshine! Welcome. 

My tiered tray by the corner sink is filled with chickens and sunflowers.

How about we head out to the porch for a spell before it gets too awful hot. Morning  is the best time to enjoy these summer days isn't it? 


Bring along some stitching, as I gather our cups of coffee for our visit. I do enjoy having you here. So what are you working on today?  I know it is something delightful.  



It has been a rather slow sultry week here in the holler. 

Oreo says hi! 
We had several pop up showers which again made garden work light.  It also gave me more time to bustle about the house.
Slowly sunflower decor and sunny yellow vintage items are coming out for display. 

I am moving right along on the  Otis Payne's Bow Tie Quilt

 27 more blocks to quilt.  



Woo Hoo! I fully finished Blooms of Sunshine onto a little fall wooden piece that I bought last year at Dollar General.  Thankfully, I bought 2 of these little faux wood boards. I took one, just flipped it to the back, painted it white and added my stitch which had  been mounted on a batting covered piece of cardboard.  Walhah! Easy Peasy!

So what do you have on the agenda for the week? It is hard to believe we are entering into the last few days of the month. My how time flies. 
Enjoy your Slow Stitching Sunday and...
As Always, 

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, y'all

  2. It's fantastic to have a whole day ahead of us to enjoy what we love most, Melisa!
    I'll dedicate it to my watercolors and dream that this last week of July will pass quickly so I can start my summer vacation.
    Happy Sunday my Dear friend... oh, and before I leave, I'll have a delicious coffee on your porch while I pet Oreo. 🤗
    Hugs

  3. Happy Sunday dear Melisa 🤗☀️ One of the first things I do every morning is checking your blog to see if there's a new post 😁 It's so nice to start my day seeing all your creations and getting inspired 🙂
    I'm spending my quiet (early) morning with stitching your cute blue house before the rest of the family gets up and the busyness of the day begins. I've got some packing to do and of course decide which stitchy project(s) get to come on my vacation with me 😅
    Congrats to Oreo for becoming a mom 🥰
    Enjoy your day. ❤️
