This week's quilt stack comes straight from the kitchen! 😀

Good Slow Stitching Sunday, y'all. It is a good day to sit back in our jammies, prop up our feet and stitch the day away. Don't you think?
Anywhooo.. Since a lot of us will be spending time in the kitchen this week , we better get in all of the stitching time we can in.😀
In the kitchen , I have a small selection of quilts all rolled up into little bundles and tucked into vintage sifters.
Soon those sifters will be put into work , sifting flour as I prep for baking .
Here is a yummy no bake pie recipe which is perfect for the holiday season.
I have to admit I have had a rip-roaring humdinger of a week.😀😁 No, not a lot of drama has been going on --well, except for The Mysterious Case of the Missing Santas which is still ongoing. ( If you missed that mystery, please hop over to that post. Where could those Santas be? ) But my week has been filled with lots of time working with needle and thread .

In the evenings, I enjoy sitting back on the couch and working on my Bow Tie quilt. I expect I will do that tonight as well. 7 more blocks to go. Quilt, quilt, quilt! 
Well Sweeties, we better get to work if we are going to have a humdinger of a day. Now grab your needle and thread and let's start to stitching. 😀🤗
As Always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting,
y'all
Melisa
"Thanksgiving is a time of togetherness and gratitude. "
Hugs and Stitches!!!!🤗🧵❤

ReplyDeleteHave a
Aaw thank you so much, dear Gabi. It is going to be a busy week indeed but I am looking forward to Thanksgiving with the whole family. I wish you the most delightful day. Warm hugs and blessings.
DeleteThank you for that yummy sounding pie recipe! I bet the table at your Thanksgiving feast is just groaning with the load of good vittles. :D Your "Holly" cross stitch is adorable.
ReplyDeleteWe have been making our final list for the menu. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays especially since we will have mom's turkey and dressing. Yum! Yum! Thank you for the sweet Sunday visit, Linda. I wish you a very lovely day. Hugs.
DeleteYou are busier than a bee! May all your Thanksgiving preparations go well so you will have extra time available to stitch!-TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Terry. I am trying to stay as busy as possible which is not too hard as the holidays approach . LOL. The challenge is doing all of the juggling. . Have a beautiful Sunday. Hugs.
DeleteYou make great progress on all your projects. Love that Bow Tie!
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Nancy. I am so excited to be nearing an end. I have not made the final decision on the binding color yet, but I am thinking blue or green. We shall see though. Have a blessed day. Warm hugs.
DeleteYou have been busy, Melisa. Well done! Clever idea of rolling your mini quilts and displaying them in the vintage sifters. Your Holly piece is so pretty. Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI have had a great week, Robin. So week's are like that aren't they? LOL. I have my little quilts tucked here and there and everywhere. I have to admit that I am like a little girl playing with quilts - rolling and stacking them. LOL. Have a blessed day and thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteYou're such a busy seamstress, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteI love everything you've shared today.
I'm busy with our Advent calendar to finish it this week, and I also want to make some Christmas decorations. Hugs and kisses!
Oh how wonderful, Isabel. You are staying busy as well. I have always wanted to make an Advent calendar. My daughter purchases one each year for the children. They find much Joy in it. Best wishes as you work on your projects this week. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteAs I finished reading my first thought was "start your needles". So, I'm coming to spend a stitching day with you. OK? ROFLOL I love the wonderful ornaments - the simplicity is very appealing to me. Today I'm hoping to finish a Christmas x-stitch pillow that's taken entirely too long and starting to bug me. It's time to git her done. Thanksgiving will be very quiet this year - just me, myself and I but that's ok I'll spend it with a needle in my hand, like I spend most days. No complaints from me.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have your bow tie quilt finished in no time. Enjoy your day and stay in your jammies - it's a jammie day for me. woohoo!! Big, big hugs, DarleneJ
LOL Come on over, Miss Darlene. The Christmas lights are on, the music is playing and we can stitch the day away! It sounds like you are on a mission to finish your Christmas pillow. You go girl! I have some "year old +" stitches that are nagging at me too. Hee! Hee! Will they get finished this year? Hmmm I am not sure. LOL. Enjoy your jammie day. I sure am! Love ya'! Warm hugs.
DeleteYour little Holly ornament is so sweet, Melisa--and I like the way you've finished it! The pie recipe sounds very tasty--will have to file it away for future baking :) Hope you have a wonderful Sunday! ♥
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Carol. I had searched in the stores for a sprig of teeny Holly in hopes to embellish the ornament. Maybe I will find some later , but for now the snowflake will do. It helped tone down the red which seemed brighter once I had pieced the pillow. Have a blessed and beautiful day. Hugs.
DeleteThat sounds like a yummy pie, Melisa! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Your "Holly" design reminds me of a sweet friend who I used to teach with, whose name was Holly. She always said that when she was growing up, she was just sure that song (Have a Holly Jolly Christmas) was written just for her! So it always makes me think of her, too. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving week!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to making it for Thanksgiving. I had thought about substituting the vanilla pudding with pumpkin spice pudding but I will not experiment today. LOL. Aaw what a sweet memory of your friend. I had a friend named Joy and every time I see or stitch an ornament with that word I think of her. Have a beautiful day, Diann. Hugs.
Deletegood morning marvelous Melisa.
ReplyDeleteyou have had a humdinger of a week. poor missing Santa's. i've been searching for them, but i haven't seen them yet. they will probably make their appearance around Easter bunny time. i hope you find them soon. missing things makes me a crazy person!!! my mind just won't stop churning wondering where, oh where!
thank you for the new ornament. i have it printed and it is ready to go with the o christmas tree and tree farm ornaments. i'm excited to get started. i just need to find floss in my bag of goodies.
i'm going to my oldest daughter's house, Angela, today for a thanksgiving feast. she is going to her other home in Yuma for the holiday. i'm so proud of that young lady. she is so special to me and i am so happy God sent her to me. i was going to name her Amber Dawn, but when i laid my eyes on her she looked like an angel so she was named Angela Lee. my middle name is Lee and the tradition was passed on to Angela's daughter, Amanda Lee. i am so proud of Amanda, too. she has grown up to be an amazing young lady. she is my only granddaughter and the most wonderful granddaughter in the world. i am so proud of her as well. i love all my grandchildren to the moon and back. they are all amazing and i am so proud of them. the boys are Gavin Michael and Aidan Matthew.
well now you have the history of my grandchildren. they are the best in my eyes. so loving and special. can you tell i am happy to call them mine Melisa? i guess i should quit bragging. we gramma's think all of our grandchildren are the best.
i hope you have a fantastic day. it's going to be wonderful. i think the rain has past us, but it has been a beautiful week. the air fresh and everything made anew.
blessings and love are on the way to you. i hope you make this Sunday a special day filled with many magical moments.
Debra Broyles
Good morning, sweet Debra and Happy Happy Sunday. Oh I do hope you have a wonderful day at your lovely daughter's home and of course gobble till you wobble. LOL. Will the whole family be in attendance? It sounds like you have such a beautiful and loved family. And how lucky are you to have a darling granddaughter! Both my girls know that if they had a daughter I would snatch her up. Hee! Hee! I do my darndest to see my grandsons' as often as possible. They will be coming over today. The little one loves salads so he will have me prepare a special one just for him. There is nothing like grandchildren is there? You enjoy each and every minute with yours and your daughter. Big hugs and lots of love. Happy Thanksgiving.
DeleteBow ties is coming along so well--I hope to do a few more rows on Sunrise, Sunset this afternoon...today will most likely be the last stitching day until after T-Day and I really want to have this finished before 2026!! and before we can blink, Christmas will be here;))))
ReplyDeleteA bittersweet holiday for me with my parents and all that older generation gone; but will sure enjoy my children and grands...so thankful for them all...Hugs, Julierose
Oh Julierose, I am sending you a warm gentle hugs as the holidays approach and as you keep your parents and grandparents in your heart. I agree it is bittersweet; the holidays are never the same once a loved one has gone to Heaven. My heart still aches for my sis. I bet my bottom dollar that you will finish Sunrise , Sunset by the year's end. You are on a mission . I cannot wait to see and update on this beauty. Enjoy your stitching time and spending time with your family. Hugs and blessings.
DeleteYou are really on a roll! Holly is so sweet and your embroidery project looks to be a fun project. I remember when Moda shared it. Can't wait to see your progress. Hope you had a fun weekend. It's evening here now so I'm imagining you quilting those last bow ties!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Susie. It has been a good week with a lot of progress which I am so thankful for. I expect this will be another busy week, but I am not sure how much progress I will make on the stitching/ quilting front. I hope you have a wonderful week and a very Happy Thanksgivng with your family. Warm hugs.
DeleteRolling the little quilts and putting them in the sifters is a wonderful idea - I shared it with my sister as she has vintage sifters. I am getting my response to your post later because my daughter came today and we celebrated with our Thanksgiving meal. I made your pie and we loved it. Thanks for the recipe - she took half of it home LOL. I really like the Holly ornament and I have printed it. I have many Thanksgiving patterns that I haven’t stitched yet, but you have inspired me to switch to Christmas patterns. I am finally starting to stitch today. Alicia
ReplyDeleteGood evening, Alicia. Oh I do hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving meal with your daughter. I bet it was just delicious! Aaw I am so happy you shared the idea of rolling the quilts and placing them into sifters. It was a fun way to use them. It is so exciting that you have started working on Christmas stitching. I have been working on stitched gifts today. Are you going to be making ornaments? Have a lovely day and a blessed Thanksgiving week, Alicia. Hugs.
DeleteThe pie recipe sounds yummy but I don't make pumpkin pie very often, anymore, since I'm the only one who will eat pumpkin. That could get me into too much calorie trouble right from the get go of the holiday season of goodies. The newest Holly stitch is so pretty. Thank you so much. The Moda SAL is a pretty one. I look forward to seeing what you do with those finished embroidery blocks.
ReplyDeleteLOL Ginny, I know what you mean about getting into " calorie trouble" during the holidays. This is a special time of year with so many treats - well one has to be choosy. I am having a ball working on the embroidery block. It is a good "on the go " project. So I hope to finish 1 a week - we shall see though. Warm hugs and blessings.
DeleteYou have some fun projects in the works. Happy stitching this week.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your MODA blocks, Melisa and the Bowtie quilt is moving right along. The new recipe sounds good. Wonder if sweet potato could be swapped for pumpkin and it is not my favorite! LOL Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings. Have a great week.
