I received the sweetest blessing box from my dear friend, PJ . 🤗🍯🐝 Now isn't the little pitcher and creamer set as cute as a a button? I sure think so. PJ knows me ; she knows I love all things patriotic or bee themed. Thank you so much , sweet friend. 🤗😘 This darling set will be dancing around my bee displays in the living room and then to the kitchen as summer progresses.

A beauty filled post! Love, love, love the new block. Sweet blessing from PJ. Adorable bee themed treasures. Can't wait to see the finished Bee Haven Cottage - it's wonderful. Blog glitches are not a good thing - ugh!!! I hope they get fixed soon. Had a visit with my doctor today. New meds, tests, etc. Happy Thursday, sweet Melisa! DarleneJ
ReplyDeleteI hope all went well at the doctor's visit, Miss Darlene . I always dread going even for a routine checkup don't you? Oh I just love the bee treasures. I have a thing for pitchers and creamers too. I hope your day has been a lovely one. Big hugs and Blessings.
DeleteYour Little House blocks are beautiful! I love the way you have them placed to show such a pretty pattern. Bee Haven Cottage looks really cute. What a cute kitty Amy had. I bet she is surrounded with them now. Does her family still have cats?
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Linda. The block was a whole lot of fun to piece. Yes, there are still cats that not only live at my sister's . My sis just lived down the road from me so we are there every day to take care of them. Plus the nephews have their own cats as well. A lot of them are strays that adopted us which warms our hearts; I have always had a soft spot for felines.
DeleteYou are getting fancy with your checkerboard house, love it!
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Vicki. This little house is a delight to work on so far. The hard part is figuring out the colors- well at least it is for me. I hope you have had a great day. Hugs.
DeleteYour Little House quilt is looking sooo good. I always enjoy spying the backdrop quilts in your pictures. Very pretty coins quilt with the floral cutter. Another wonderful house stitch. That's two that I've seen recently. Kitties are always such a soft warm comfort, aren't they? I miss our Bella.
ReplyDeleteOh I am enjoying every minute of working on the Little House quilt. The little coin quilt was made from 1 1/2" scraps. It was a quick one to make. For some reason, I have been into making small coin quilts here lately. They are super quick and a whole lot of fun. I have been on a house stitching kick - right now I have 3 in the works. They are still my favorite stitches to work on . Thank you for the sweet visit, Ginny. Hugs.
DeleteYour Little house blocks are looking good. It's been fun to see all the different color schemes in use by those following along. You have some very good friends. Enjoy your fabric fun time and your sanity stitching this week.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Kate. I love seeing all of the different color ways in the SAL. I have had a ball working on this quilt. I do feel very blessed by all my friends and ever so grateful . Thank you so much for the sweet Thursday visit. Hugs.
DeleteLove your block 7 for the Little House project, Melisa! Such pretty, cozy colors. I'm ready to work on block 8, too! The pitcher and creamer decorated with bees are adorable! They fit right in with your beautifully stitched bees. Looking forward to seeing what you're cutting out and working on next. Blogger is always throwing us a curveball in one way or another, lol! Then we all have to figure out how to get past it. I use the Feedly app to follow all my quilting friends, and it's usually pretty complete. Maybe that would help you?
ReplyDeleteOh thank you for the suggestion, Diann. I will have to check into Feedly. I cannot wait to see your Heart block for the SAL . I know it will be as cute as a button. I adore the little pitcher and creamer set. I have a collection of pitchers and creamers but this one will be displayed with all my bee items. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteSuch a cute collection of blocks! So exciting to see the end is near. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Aaw thank you so much, Jennifer. These blocks have been such a delight to piece. The hardest part is picking out where I want to place my fabrics . LOL. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteI like your Log cabin blocks - that is coming along so nicely. and your leader enders - those are so fun. Hmmm maybe your blogger glitch explains things... I was wondering why I wasn't seeing posts....
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Alycia . I have missed out on a lot of posts of my blogging buddies and have had to go back and search to see if they were posting these last 2 weeks. Hopefully, it will work itself out soon. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.

Happy Thursday , dear Dianet. I hope your day has been a joyous one. Oh yes, Google can do some crazy things. I do hope blogger works itself out soon. I feel very blessed by my dear stitching friends indeed. I have the perfect spot for the little pitcher and creamer . I cannot thank you enough for stitching the little stamps with me. It always warms my heart to hear from you or to see your blog posts. Have a beautiful day , sweet friend. Hugs.
DeleteYour newest quilt is looking so pretty, Melisa! Such pretty fabrics which must bring back lots of memories. And what a sweet gift from PJ--enjoy! ♥
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Carol. I am so happy that the fabrics are from my stash for this quilt. I am enjoying every minute of it. I hope your day has been a lovely one and you were able to get in some stitching time. Hugs.
DeleteThanks for sharing your new quilt, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Hugs
Aaw thank you so much, Isabel. This quilt is a joy to work on. Melva has done a wonderful job on hosting the SAL , creating the designs and making the instructions so easy to follow. Have a beautiful day. Hugs.
DeleteI love your quilt Melisa! Also as always love your house stitch.
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Lisa. I am having a ball working on both projects. I was hoping to get the brick work done on the house today. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs.
DeleteThe quilt looks great. I enjoy your progress. I am saving Melva’s patterns until I have completed some projects that are in the works. The bee creamer and sugar dish are adorable and will look great with your bee display. I can’t wait for the bee house to be completed. You are so creative and busy. Have a great day. Alicia
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about having a lot of projects in the works, Alicia. Every now and then we just have to whittle those down a bit don't we. Hee! Hee! That is what I have been trying to do, but I always find myself starting another project. I know you will enjoy Melva's quilt when you get the chance to piece it. Thank you for the sweet Thursday visit. Hugs.
DeleteYour Kitty block is adorable! I stitched up block 8 today. Your scrappy quilt is so pretty. I can't wait to see all of them together as a top. The bee is very cute. Have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteOh how exciting, Deb. I cannot wait to see your block. It has been a joy to see these blocks in all of the different color ways hasn't it. Thank you so much for stopping by to visit me today. Have a great afternoon. Hugs.
DeleteI love your rotary cutter, wherever did you find it? I love the quilt you’re working on and the new little house. Hugs,
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your posts! I look forward to reading them! You are such a creative person!! Have an amazing day! 💜 Erin @adancingneedle
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute block. It does remind you of a kitten curled up in the corner of a room. Looking forward to your new house. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings. Have a great weekend, my friend. Hugs, B
ReplyDeleteThe creamer and sugar set are the bees' knees! Your SAL blocks look awesome together. Melva writes the most fun SALs. I too have experienced that with blogger. I thought it was me at first! LOL I have noticed that the posts do show up. . .just late!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteThank you so much doctor amos for your cure and I am free from herpes completely !!
ReplyDeleteI thought the physicians says there is no cure for HSV 2!!! I am telling you today that DR.AMOS cure HSV 2 with his herbal medicine and once you get cured you are cured forever it is never reversible, I have been suffering for this deadly disease called h HSV 2 for more than a 2years and lost all hope because my doctor says there is no cure for HSV 2. Brethren I saw a testimony on the internet on how DR.AMOS cure HSV, Hepatitis etc. with his herbal medication and an email and WhatsApp to contact him was also displayed, I thought this was joke but I decided to contact him and he replied telling me not to worry that my problem is over . DR.AMOS sent me a herbal medication to drink for one month but only 2weeks I feel strange and I went to my doctor and he confirmed me negative. He can help you too. Contact him via Email him via: Herbalistdoctoramos@gmail.com or Text/Call: WHATSAPP:+2349064159687
ReplyDeleteHe is capable of curing AUTISM, HERPES, HPV, HSV1&2, HEPATITIS A B C, and DIABETES.”
Your Little House quilt looks amazing! I was going to join in but got too busy... I might still make it though! Thanks for joining in on Home Matters Linky Party! I will be featuring your post this week! #HomeMattersParty xx
