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

All of your bee stitcheries are so cute! I thought I was ready for slow stitching but, since I've sat down, I think I need a nap first! Happy stitching to you!
ReplyDeleteAaaw a nap is always good then you can get a fresh start. Thank you so much, Gretchen. It have really enjoyed displaying my bee pieces for the month of August. I am still working slowly on a few more. I hope your day was a lovely one. Hugs.
DeleteFun bee 🐝 stitcheries! I will do some knitting while you stitch. You have lots to keep you busy! Gail at the cozy quilter
ReplyDeleteOh how fun, Gail. I do wish you were here so you could teach me how to knit. LOL. I have always wanted to learn. I am slowly getting better at crocheting, but I am still a newby at it. Thank you for the sweet Sunday visit. Have a lovely week. Hugs.
DeleteLooks 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!
ReplyDeleteAww thank you so much, Diann. I have debated and debated on the background fabric for the hexies Thankfully, I had the buttercream in the stash. I hope I can locate more for the rest of the blocks. Happy Sunday. Hugs.
DeleteI see you've had a very busy Sunday, Melissa!
ReplyDeleteAll your work seems fantastic.
Hugs and have a great week.
Oh yes, I have been trying to stay as busy as possible. I hope your day was a lovely one too, Isabel. Thank you for the sweet Sunday visit. Hugs.
Deletegood afternoon lovely Melisa.
ReplyDeleteyou sound like the energizer bunny and those are just tasks you are going to tackle in the morning. geez!!! i'm tired after reading the post. i need a nap!!! hahahaha
i have been pretty busy today as well just fiddle fartin around, but it has kept me very busy. i'm getting ready to go cut my pieces for my quilt and then i'll move onto the laundry. once it cools down (if it ever does) i'll go outside and water the houseplants and tomatoes. i have a few plants that need to be transplanted so i'll do that as well. i plan to go outside at 6:30. fingers-crossed it is shady in my working spots. i haven't given up on the tomatoes thus far. very soon is likely. i did get 3 cherry tomatoes and 1 beefsteak tomato. they were all a yellowy-red and i picked them early so my little rascal couldn't get to them. they were probably planning to feast on them this evening, but surprise, surprise - they're mine, all mine!!! at least i can say i got one beefsteak tomato off the vine. geez!!! they are hungry little devils.
i hope you have an awesome rest of your day. i definitely plan, too.
blessings and love are coming your way sweet lady.

Good evening, dear Debra. Oh , I do hope you had a lovely day working in the quilt room and outside. I am so glad you beat the little rascals to your tomato plants.Hee! Hee! Want they be surprised when they go for a snack and none are there? We missed picking from the garden yesterday because of the rain. We got a few cherry tomatoes and a tad of okra today. The figs are getting ripe so they have been a tasty afternoon treat. I ate my last beefsteak tomato this morning in a salad. I sure will miss the fresh maters. It is supposed to cool down here this week. I wish I could send you some of the cool temps. I wish you the most wonderful evening and a fabulous new week. Warm hugs and love
DeleteThat grouping of the bee things is beautiful! Lots of fun choices of things to work on. Hope you enjoyed your day.
ReplyDeleteAaaw thank you so much, Deb. I have enjoyed having all of the bee items on display for the month. Soon I will be changing them out for pumpkins. I hope you had a wonderful afternoon . Hugs.
DeleteI have been wanting to do a yellow house. The sunflower house will be perfect! Thank you. As always I enjoy reading your blog. Have a great day with all those projects! Margie \TN
ReplyDeleteAaww I sure hope you enjoy the little house, Margie. I am so honored that you like it. I have always had a "thing" for yellow houses . I always wanted to live in a little yellow house but alas that was not to be. LOL. Thank you for bringing a warm smile to my day. Have a blessed evening and Happy stitching. Hugs.
DeleteHowdy!!! (think of Minnie Pearl when you say it - LOL)
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this post? I've been stitching, stitching and more stitching. I'm finishing the final row of my patriotic Circle quilt. WooHoo!! And, of course thinking about other projects therefore allowing myself to get distracted. LOL
Your Otis Payne quilt is so cute - can't imagine I'd get tired of seeing that beauty.
Can't wait to see the new house - woohoo!!!
Take good care my sweet friend, sweet dreams and Happy Monday! Big hugs, DarleneJ
Beautiful, creative and fun.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a good Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI'm a day late, but hope you enjoyed your Sunday! We are impatiently awaiting a "cold" front moving down from Oklahoma. After today the rest of our week is supposed to be in the 80s - much better than high 90s! Hope you have a great week Melisa!
ReplyDeleteOf course, I'd cut that stripe for you! LOL!! What fun Halloween fabrics you have gathered. I know fall is in the air; but, I'm not ready for summer to end!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteYou took me on a memory trip with your punch needle. I have one and haven't used it in over 20 years. I never made much but I did finish punching a snowman piece(I think) but never made it into anything I think, wonder where that is!
ReplyDeleteLooks like there was plenty of slow stitching to keep many people busy. HAha I would gladly sit and stitch whatever you need done if I could. That Halloween Shoo Fly is an oldie but a goodie! It needs to be finished for this H season. The fabrics are sooo cute! Love spider web fabric. Looking forward to several of your projects completion. Hands down, you are a whirlwind of creativity.
ReplyDeleteOh! If I only had that much energy lol! Loving all the quilts! Please show details of that awesome shoo spider quilt! It’s so festive! Perfect colors!!!!🎃🎃🎃🎃❤️
ReplyDeleteWhat a tempting invitation! I would love to sew with you and help appliquéd this cute purple hexie ;)) Enjoy your slow stitching! Thank you for sharing your happy place and linking up!
ReplyDeleteHope you made good progress with you needle and thread yesterday. You have lots of fun projects to work on.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to catch up with you! I'm like you....I have to have multiple projects going. Your Dresden quilt is gorgeous! What a lot of work and love went into that one! I have a hexie project I forgot about....I need to dig it out. I was sick for a bit but I'm back in the saddle again and delighted to read your posts and see all the wonderful projects you're working on. As always, thank you for your inspiration! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great slow Sunday stitching day. I'd love to help you on the yarn punch but you'll have to show me how first! I'd love to learn how though. Hope your Sunday was wonderful!
