Do you believe in signs? The other day when I was cutting fabrics for Alycia's QAL. I came up on some scrap fabrics that I purchased at a yard sale. As I was cutting them into strips . I spotted my sister, Amy's, nickname- "Amo" . I didn't know what "Amo te" meant so I went to Google translate and typed it in. Immediately, it popped up "I love you. " I started crying. Amo often sends me signs. This one was extra special . Do look for signs from your loved ones; you will find them.
I am joining these lovely ladies' link parties. I hope you check them out; they always have so many wonderful projects going on and provide the opportunity for other needleworkers to meet.

I was headed to bed with hopes of dreaming about stitching, quilting and such! LOL Then I thought "I wonder what Melisa's up to?" Lo and behold your working on another super cute project. A fabulous assortment of prints is resulting in adorable blocks. Have lots and lots of fun!!! Big, Big Hugs, DarleneJ
ReplyDeleteI DO believe in signs and the beautiful sign Amy sent you almost made me cry. Just perfect! ❤️
ReplyDeleteI hardly ever see cardinals in our yard and last year while I was napping during a phase of grief, my husband was outside and noticed a cardinal sitting in the bush right outside our bedroom window ❤️ It's like my sis was checking in on me 🥰
Have a wonderful day Melisa! 🤗

Enjoy the Alicia's sew-along! Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a fun SAL. Can't wait to watch you go to town on it. What a sweet surprise "visit" from Amy. I know you love feeling her closeness. You have certainly made a lot of beautiful rememberances of her.
ReplyDeleteLove the peeks at your holler - is that a gladiolus? Have fun with your scraps!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous gladioli color:))) I love your scrappy flags piece--so neat!!
ReplyDeleteHaircut day for me--finally feeling well enough to go and get this hair "offa my neck!!" hahaha
Hugs, Julierose
Enjoy your scrappy sewing this week. Looks like lots of fun red, white and blue.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link for the QAL. I have some red, white and blue fabric that I've been itching to use on an easy pattern. I have a friend in FL that takes patriotic flimsies for donations from different people, machine quilts them, and then gives them to veterans - not QOV but along the same lines. Love your patriotic sampler - will be adding that to the other ones.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day - oh and love the "sign" - yes, I do believe in signs from Heaven. :-)
Love your little flags, Melisa. I have plans for Alycia's QAL too. I'm more inspired since she revealed the pattern.
ReplyDeleteLovely flags!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful desings!
