A Dime?! And a Strawberry Freebie

"Mother" is such a simple word,

But to me there's meaning seldom heard. 

For everything I am today, 

My mother's love showed me the way. - Karl Fuchs

 Hello, Sweet friends and a sunny Sunday to you! I would also like to wish all of the dear mothers a very Happy Mother's Day.

 Today the family will be gathering at my mom's where all of the mothers will be celebrated with some good home cooking and lots of love. 

I bought this darling cross stitch at the thrift store . Isn't it  so soft and delicate? 

Another thrift store find is this small stitch. Do you know what it is called and who the designer is? 

 Now hold on to your bloomers! You are going to fall off your chair when I tell you how much I paid for it! A dime! Can you believe it a whole dime?! It makes me sad for the stitcher , but I was happy for me. One of my favorite thrift stores has a dime table, you never know what you will find in the bin table.  

 August bouquet  is in the works in  Jeannette Douglas Mini Bouquet Sampler.   

Last week's stopping point- May 5th. 

Not a lot of progress, but the vines are beings stitched. 

Progress as of May 11, 2024

Today's Slow Stitching project is Rainbow Sherbet. It  has been awhile since I have worked on it.  Doesn't it make you crave some sherbet ?Lol.   

 I bought this quilt top a few years ago at the World's Largest yard Sale. 

    Did you see my Itty Bitty Bee Pinkeep that I shared on Friday?  I hope to work on another one this week. 

Can I interest you in some Farm Fresh Berries? This is my newest strawberry stamp.  It reminds me of all of the strawberry signs that I painted. That was one of my tasks on  the farm.

Happy Mother's Day

Good morning and Happy Mother's Day  to all of the dear mothers out there. It is your special day. ❤🤗

 I have a gift bag choked full with bee decor items and Pioneer Woman pieces for my mom. I  will be taking it to her very soon. This is her 2nd year decorating with the  bee theme  and she loves Pioneer Woman decor . 

What do you have on the agenda?  I plan to spend the day with my family. Nothing fancy this year just pizza and  maybe a sweet treat. Later , the grandchildren and nephews will go fishing or swimming which is always a delight to watch. 

 

In the evening, I hope to add binding to my newest mini quilt finish. I appliqued this mini basket quilt last year and just finished the quilting.  It holds a special place in my heart because the yellow floral fabric was from a dress of my  youngest daughter. I say she was about 2 years old when she wore it. 💛😀

 I will also continue pulling out patriotic decor. 

Well Sweeties, this is another short and sweet post. Have a very blessed day and ...

As always...

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, ya'll
