| Quilting on Otis Payne's Bow Tie quilt |
There are 30 more blocks to quilt in the Otis Payne's Bow Tie Quilt. If you do not remember this quilt, I bought the quilt top last year at the World's Largest Yard Sale for a song and a dance.
I have high hopes to finish it before this year's sale. but again those are high hopes.

Lots of sweetness and goodness in this post. The zucchini and squash look perfect for a nice meal. I can't remember the last time I made or had fried green tomatoes. Talk about a mega treat. YUM!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnother stitching day in my corner of the world plus some minimal cooking in the kitchen. In fact, I cooked some chicken thighs earlier so I can make a yummy zucchini and chicken meal. I can hardly wait because it's one I seldom make.
Have a wonderful Sunday. Hugs, Hugs, Hug, DarleneJ
Sounds like a busy week Melisa! Winter Wonderland looks very sweet. You mention Hum of the bees, is this your own pattern? Have I missed seeing any of it? Looking forward to seeing more of this one.
ReplyDeleteFinally had my cataracts done this week, after waiting almost a year (took longer as I needed sedation - different staff and set up). This was our British NHS, and they were brilliant! I had a wonderful surgeon and her team were brilliant too! Haven’t stitched since, but already I can see so much better.
Hugs, Barbara @flashinscissors ☺️🙋♀️🤗👍👋💜🩷xxx
Oh I love the bow tie quilt find! Woohoo for moving the hoop. Garden pictures are always welcome! I LOVE to see how others arrange things and bountiful harvest. Happy stitching. :)
ReplyDeleteYour squash is soooo pretty. Hubs doesn't understand why I don't like the squash in the supermarket, but they are not shiny and smooth and perfectly sized like yours. I did buy a couple to saute with butter and onions!
ReplyDeleteI just copied the link to your Patriotic Pride pattern as well as your photos to start a file for the instructions. That block can be used in so many colors, and I love the embroidery you did on the centers - beautiful!
Enjoy your fresh summer veggies. We don't have a garden, but the local farm stands have lots of fresh stuff and we take advantage of that. Congrats on all the progress on your to do list. Good luck with this week's list.
ReplyDeleteWell, not only the bees are busy, you are busy as a bee too.so many things in one day! The veggies look mmmmh.
ReplyDeleteQuilt is beautiful.
Hugs, Gabi
Just lovely squashes you have there!! I do miss our bigger garden at our old house...nothing like getting up early in the morning to harvest dew-laden veggies is there? :)))
ReplyDeleteOur weather continues hot and muggy and overcast most days here. No red tomatoes yet on my 3 little plants...;(((
I just really love that Bow Tie quilt you are hand quilting--so neat...
Hugs for a great upcoming week...Julierose
Your garden looks fantastic, Melisa. Your Bow Tie quilt is looking good. Plans for this week: lots of stitching and a visit to Notforgotten Farm on the 19th. Have a blessed Sunday!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the bow tie quilt find!
ReplyDeleteAnd your garden looks fantastic!!
Have a great Sunday!!
Hugs
Oh boy yes I will take your zucchini while I wait for ours to produce, hehee. I have 8 teeny tiny cuc's waiting to grow up that I am excited about!
ReplyDeleteWell, I wish I were a little closer to you, I'd certainly take some of those delectable vegetables off your hands! And make some extra fried green tomatoes for me...my favorite! The Bow Tie quilt is coming right along. I hope you have a great week, Melisa. Thanks in advance for linking up with Monday Musings!
ReplyDeleteWish I was closer - those veggies look great! The red quilt is looking great and I love the double stitching on the red areas. Enjoy your week.
