Happy , Happy Saturday. We have made it to the weekend. Yee Haw!
Today I will be pulling out one of my Christmas trees and decorating it in the "farm theme"- that is if all goes well. But before I do that I thought today would be the perfect time to jump on Santa's sleigh and enjoy a parade- a parade of Christmas and Winter themed stitches and doodles. If you like to join me, grab a cup of hot cocoa and a cozy blanket and let's go!
🎅🤶 Fair warning, this is post has loads of photos. 🎅🤶

I am so very grateful that you stopped by to visit me as I skipped down Christmas Memory Lane.
May your day be merry and bright!
As always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all
Holy Smokes, Batman can you say prolific??? You are incredible and I'm in awe. So many "I made that but lots more I need to make that". I could spend 2026 stitching everything Melisa. Now, that's very tempting. snicker/giggle Everything is wonderful, cute, fabulous, lovely, etc. Big, Big, Big Hugs, DarleneJ
ReplyDeleteLOL I bet you can tell I LOVE Christmas! Hee! Hee! I am so very grateful that you have stitched some of these little designs, Darlene. I was thinking about you today as I worked on making mini four patches. I haven't decided what I am going to do with them, but I know it is going to be a little quilt. Eeeeh! Thank you for brightening my day, Sweetie. Super big hugs
DeleteWhat a magnificent compilation, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this selection of amazing Christmas projects while having breakfast... Oh, it made me want to put up the tree and the Nativity scene right now... hahaha!!
Thank you for sharing your talent so selflessly, I admire it very much.
Hugs from Seville
Aaaw I am so very grateful that you joined my Isabel for the grand Christmas parade. Hee! Hee! I just adore the Christmas season which I am sure you can tell. LOL Have a blessed and beautiful day and thank you for always being so encouraging. Hugs
DeleteWhat an absolutely amazing collection of Christmas creations! I didn't realize you had THAT many! You are super woman! 😮 I just want to retire and stitch 24/7 now 🤣 Thank you so much for sharing, this is incredible! 😍
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fantastic weekend my friend! Lots of love and hugs from Maine,
-Alex 🤗🤗
LOL Retiring to stitch sounds divine, Alex. Gosh , I think I could stitch 24/7 if I did not have to do that ole' sleep thing and chores . Thank you so much for bringing a big smile to my day. I hope you are having a fabulous weekend. Hugs.
DeleteOMG but you have stitched a lot!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I think I have more Christmas stitches than all of the other holidays. Thank you so much for the sweet Saturday visit. Hugs.
DeleteWow! I am amazed at how much you have done - especially how much you have done and shared for/with us! Thank you sounds so little but is meant so much. These are wonderful! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Donna. It has been such a joy and blessing to stitch and share these little pieces. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteWhat a most enjoyable Christmas/winter parade, Melisa! Happy Saturday!
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Robin. You are so kind. I had a ball looking back through old posts to pull it together. Happy Happy Saturday. Hugs.
DeleteWhat a wonderful Winter parade--thanks for sharing all your adorable doodles --I saved the redwork ones for a project in the New Year--thank you so much...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you, Julierose. I hope you enjoy the the little red work doodles as much as I did. I look forward to seeing what you do with them in the future. I hope you are having a great weekend. Warm hugs.
DeleteThanks for the Christmas parade. You certainly have been busy. I have to stitch one more salt box house(the cardinal house). But I see a lot of cute small designs that I like. I better get busy. Have a great weekend. K from NY
ReplyDeleteAaw it warms my heart you are adding the Cardinal House to your stitching list, K. I hope you enjoy each and every stitch. That is one of my favorites. Enjoy your weekend.Hugs.
DeleteWow! You have created so many wonderful designs and patterns. Your creativity, talent, and generosity has no limits. I have completed the Farmhouse Christmas series and the Old World Santa series. I am going to stitch the gingerbread/baking designs this year and hopefully another house or two. The parade is a great reminder and motivator. I should have retired sooner - LOL. Have a great weekend. Thanks you! Alicia
ReplyDeleteOh Alicia, it is so exciting to hear the about the series that you have stitched. I cannot tell you how much that means to me. I still have a few more to add to the gingerbread series this year. They will use some of the same floss colors. Thank you so much for stitching these little Christmas pieces. You brought a smile to my day. Have a lovely weekend . Hugs.
DeleteMelisa this is amazing, you must even impress yourself! You have such an array of adorable Christmas projects, I am particularly fond of the chicken ones - lol - and have saved the Chicken Sleigh. Thank you for all the links allowing us to be "magically transported" to the pattern. This is a page I will bookmark!
ReplyDeleteLOL I did not realize how many I have stitched until I start looking back. Wheew! I think the chicken ones are some of my favorites too. I am going to put up my Barnyard tree here soon. I hope you enjoy the little stitches. Warm hugs.
DeleteAbsolutely amazing Christmas designs.Thanks much for your generosity.
ReplyDeleteAaw you are so very kind. Thank you so much for joining me today on my Christmas Parade . Have a very lovely day. Hugs.

ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Terry. I am so touched that you dropped by for a visit. I hope you have had a great day in the sewing room. Hugs.
DeleteWhat a beautiful parade! Each design is so endearing and pretty. Next year I plan to start stitching the Christmas stamps.
ReplyDeleteHugs
Oh thank you so much, Diana. It was fun for me to look back at all I have stitched. I hope you enjoy the little Christmas stamps. It warms my heart to hear they are on your stitching list. Warm hugs.
DeleteSo many wonderful designs. I love the "house" stitches the best. I could pick out many of your designs that I would love to stitch. From little quilts, cross stitch, and embroidery...I love them all.
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you from the bottom of my heart. The house stitches are my favorite as well. Your kind compliment brightened my day. I wish you a lovely weekend . Warm hugs and blessings.
DeleteMelisa, you have the best Christmas, Winter, and Snowman designs to stitch! Thank you so much for sharing them, and all in one place, too. I can't wait to get started on something new - hopefully this afternoon!
ReplyDeleteAaw shucks, Diann. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am so grateful that you have stitched so many of my little designs. It means more than you will ever know. I wish you a lovely evening. Hugs.
Deletegood morning amazing Melisa.
ReplyDeletei am swimming in paper heaven. i love, love, love your Christmas parade. i found so many patterns to print and i even had to print Flurry and Flakes - that is definitely on my "to do" list. so many patterns, so let's get on with it. wowza!!! am i ever going to be busy. you have so many Christmas patterns - it is so awesome. i wish i could be in your house right this minute to see all the magical Christmas pieces.
i hope everything is going well with you. life is not so good for me, but that's for another day. experiencing many of life's challenges right now. i know that deep in my soul God never gives you more than you can handle. i think i'm going thru test number 259,600,437 - ha!!! i am trying to stay positive, but sometimes i just need to break down and cry and then pray all over again.
the holiday season is upon us and every morning (since September 1st) the first thing i do is turn on my Christmas twinky lights on the tree. that is a must for me. it has a tendency to start my day off on the right foot and keeps me calm - even if for a short amount of time.
i hope you have a terrific Saturday. it has been raining a little here. they said expect a major rain storm with thunder and lightning. the thunder and lightning i don't need, but i do need the rain. it washes all the cooties out of the air and makes everything smell yummy good.
blessings and love are on the way to you precious Melisa.
Debra Broyles
Good afternoon, sweet Debra. First, let me send you a big hug. I am so sorry that you are going through challenges right now. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I am so glad that you are enjoying your twinkling lights. I have to admit that is the first thing that I do in the morning too as I head to the kitchen to make coffee. I agree they do bring a bit of calmness and peace even for just a short time. I am so thrilled that you found some more charts to print. As I was working on this post, I began to think about embroidering some new snowman blocks in the near future though I still have a snowman quilt that I do need to finish. Oh well, what's one more. LOL. I wish you a wonderful evening. Stay safe during the storm. Big hugs and lots of love.
DeleteSooo many adorable pieces, Melisa! I just got out my supplies to make more Christmas stamps and came here to see if you had a round up! Love all of them! 💚 - Ann (AnnMakesThings)
ReplyDeleteAaw Hi Ann. Gosh, I do need to get back on IG to catch up with all of the pretties that you have been working on. Your posts always brightened my day. I am so touched that you dropped by today and I am over the moon to hear you are adding the stamps to your stitching line up. I sure hope you enjoy them.Thank you so much. Warm hugs and blessings.

ReplyDeleteEvery time you share a parade I notice something new. With all the wintery, snowy scenes I really liked seeing all the smokey chimneys and rosy cheeks. The little details make me smile every time. This is also a big reminder of all the stitching that is waiting for me.
Aaw thank you so much, Ginny. The little parades are always good reminders to me as to what I need to pull out to decorate with . LOL. Can you tell that I adore this time of the year? I hope you had a wonderful day in the quilting room. I was able to piece a few blocks so it was a good day. Warm hugs.
DeleteTotally in awe of your talent! Your imagination and creativity knows no bounds. Thanks for sharing this amazing parade. I see a few more designs that I will need to stitch. Happy Tree Trimming!
ReplyDeleteOh how I love a parade. Especially a parade of crafting projects. So many lovely patterns of which there are some I still need to stitch. Thank you for reminding me of all the great patterns you designed. I can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve.
