Movin' and Groovin' Sunday

 Rise and shine, Sunshine! It is a beautiful sunny Sunday! And we do have so much to do - don't we? 

The Hum of the Bees Itty Bitty Bee Pinkeep ,Aunt Bea's Summer HomeBees and Blooms , The Ole' Crow Saltbox

What you may ask? Well some slow stitching, Silly! Hee! Hee! I have my needle and thread ready. Do you? 

First off, I do need to tackle a few of the Blooming Hexies.


 I chose a buttercream yellow for some of the blocks. I have an extra needle if you would like to join in and applique one down. Hmm, perhaps the purple one. 
I need to press some of the edges down before appliqueing. ๐Ÿ™„

What else can we tackle?! How about some binding on "Shoo Spider, Shoo". I have the binding fabric all picked out. If you do not mind, will you cut the strips while I get the thread?  


And let's see . Hmmm we need one more thing to work on.๐Ÿค” How about some yarn punch?!
 

I still have all of those  thrifted skeins of wool that need to be put to good use. A woolly pumpkin would be nice. Don't ya' think? 

That's a good start to our morning! Now tell me- what would you like me to help you with? 

Thank you for the sweet Sunday visit. Let's get to movin' and groovin'! 

Ooops I forgot to tell you my plans for the week. Of course, I will continue working on these projects,  and I do need to work on my Harvest Moon house. I must not forget my Otis Payne quilt. ( Are you sick of it yet? Hee! Hee. )  Oh well , that should do me.


 As always,

Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all

  3. Looks like you have lots of fun things to work on today, Melisa! I love the butter yellow for your hexie background - that's going to be really pretty. I would happily cut some binding strips for your cute spider quilt, too. Enjoy your stitching today - whatever you work on!
