Remember Melva is offering this Sew Along for free until the end of the event which you can find more information on Melva's website in the Introduction of the Sew Along. Thank you , again Melva for all of the quilting fun! 🤗
The other day I was at the thrift store and found 2 more books from the Little House on the Prairie series to add to my collection. I promptly started reading On My Way Home.
Alrighty, Sweeties, I better get to work on Melva's newest addition. I wish you a beautiful day .
As Always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting,
y'all

Lovely block!!! Just enjoy it. Big Hugs, DarleneJ
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Miss Darlene. I am so happy to have it finished. I am looking forward to the next block. I hope you are having a great week. Hugs.
DeleteBeautiful blocks. It's been fun to see all the different versions that get posted in blogland.
ReplyDeleteOh I agree, Kate. It has been a joy to see the blocks in different color ways. It has been a fabulous SAL. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteYour blocks look very nice. I often wonder what Laura would think about her fame so long after she is gone. I and my children enjoyed reading the books. I suppose there isn't enough action in them for today's children. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteYou've inspired me with your blocks, I've downloaded the patterns! I have no idea when I'm going to fit the quilt into my busy summer but I'm hopeful to get them pieced sometime. I certainly have plenty of fabrics.
DeleteThank you very much, Gretchen. I always enjoyed Laura's books too and I still watch reruns of the TV show. I say you are right about today's children. LOL. I am so very happy that you downloaded the blocks, Gretchen. I look forward to seeing them in the future. Hugs.
DeleteYou really did a great job on the snowflake block. It's going to be a beautiful quilt! I really want to get moving on these blocks - I really should save them for later! :-) Did you ever see the Little House cookbooks? I'm not sure if they really are recipes from her era or not. I did buy it for my dd when we visited Laura Ingalls Wilder's home. I should probably give it a look see when I visit my dd! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Donna. I am having a ball working on these blocks. I have seen the cookbooks on the Internet. I would be interested to know if they were of the time period. Oh I bet it was amazing to visit Laura's home. I have always wanted to go. Maybe sometime in the near future. Fingers crossed. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteWhat a beautiful block you created, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteAww thank you so much, Robin. It whipped up pretty quickly too. I hope you are having a great week. Hugs.
DeleteI think you did a great job on the snowflake block, Melisa! All of them together look very nice.
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Brenda. This has been a wonderful SAL to participate in. I have always been a fan of Little House on the Prairie . Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteLovely snowflake block! It fits perfectly with the others you have stitched!--TerryK@OnGoingProjcts
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Terry. I have really enjoyed working on Melva's SAL. I look forward to the release of each block. Have a blessed day.
DeleteThis combination of colorful fabrics and different designs is absolutely stunning, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteI love the result.
Hugs
Aaw thank you so much, Isabel. It has been fun going through the fabrics and selecting which ones to use. Blessings.
DeleteYour snowflake block is beautiful Melisa! That was my favorite block so far. I like your "frame" fabrics too. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Linda. I think it is one of my favorites as well. I think choosing the fabrics is the hardest part. LOL. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteYour snowflake block is lovely, Melisa. Love your fabric selections.
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Jeanna. It pieced up quickly and was a joy to work on. Have a great day. Hugs.
DeleteWhat a beautiful block. Love all the blocks. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Annelies. It was a delightful block to work on . I hope you have had a lovely day. Hugs.
DeleteYour snowflake came out great! Love the scrappy fabrics in your blocks. Pieced and having fun is way better than perfect (in my mind anyway - and that is how things work in my sewing area!).
ReplyDeleteOh Deb, I agree. Having fun and enjoying the process is what it is all about. Doing what we love. Right? Thank you so much for the sweet visit and kind compliment. I have loved seeing your blocks. Hugs.
DeleteThata beautiful block, Melisa! I love your fabric choices for it. And it's so fun that you're adding more books to your Laura Infalls Wilder collection. Melva's story in her post today made me want to reread that book!
ReplyDeleteOh Melva has made me want to reread the whole series. LOL. This has been a super fun SAL. Thank you so much for the sweet Thursday visit. Hugs.
DeleteLove the yellow ware. Combined with all the bright red berry things, it is just lovely. The Little house blocks are beautiful and I can already see what a wonderful quilt this is going to be. Such a lucky find at the thrift shop.
ReplyDeleteSqueee - it looks great!! have fun with the new one
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea for a quilt along. I need to go check the previous blocks.
ReplyDeleteWonderful snowflake block! I don't see any wonkiness. Love your fabrics--so perfect for this! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Your blocks are beautiful. How are there new books in the series by Laura Ingalls Wilder after she has passed away? Were more of her writings discovered and published by her heirs, or is someone else writing the new books the way they keep hiring new writers for Nancy Drew books?
