Pinker n punkin cross stitch

Howdy, ya'll. Welcome! Do you have your needle and thread in hand? It is Slow Stitching Sunday. The perfect day to sit back, relax and enjoy weaving your needle in and out of fabric. I have my project in the hoop and ready to go. Do you remember this quilt top that I showed you last month? It is the one that I purchased at a yard sale that was partially quilted. I think I will call it my Alabama Beauty Quilt since I bought it in Alabama. Anywhoo , this has been my Wednesday project, but…

Put on your work belt and grab your hammer. We are going out to the construction site! Well not really, but it has been a wonderful year for house construction- at least with needle and thread. I completed a grand total of 12 houses. Woo Hoo! I am doing the happy dance! I began the year with a grand log cabin called The Star Spangled Winter Home. I have always wanted a winter patriotic home, and this one is perfect to celebrate President's Day with. Every year I create a pink house in honor…

Good evening, ya'll! It's another Fabulous Friday and that means it is Finish it or Not Friday with Alycia at Alycia's Quilts. This week's little quilt is a sunflower/ summer themed quilt . It all started with 2 strips of fabric sewn together in my scrap bin. Time to use them in something. I was able to construct 7 four patches. I decided to take four of them and make a little quilt using what I had on hand. Three four patches are left over . I think they would look cute in a teeny table mat…

Good morning, punkins. Come on in and grab a cup of tea. Grab your apron too. We have baking to do. What are we baking? Well since we picked all of those pumpkins, I do believe we need a pumpkin pie . Don't you? It is certainly one of my fall favorites. Two eggs, pumpkin spice .... Preheat the oven.... Homemade crust or store bought ? I do love homemade, but store bought is great too. I have a can of Libby's Pumpkin Puree , but fresh homegrown pumpkins would be so much better. Today's stitch…

It's another beautiful summer day! Welcome , Sweet Friends and Happy Thursday! For the last couple of days I have been busy working on m...

SNOWBIRD REPORT: Still no snow in the holler according to my daughter. Welcome, Sweet friends . I hope you are having a wonderful winter day. So what is the "Snowbird Report " in your neighborhood? Have you had any of the white fluffy stuff yet? My grandchildren are certainly dreaming of snow. They have 13 built in snow days that they sure would enjoy using if possible. Just maybe Mother Nature will oblige. I am so excited to share with you a simple stitch called "Dreaming of Snow" . A cute…

Well a very good morning to you, my dears. Can you believe it ? The last day of November. November came in on the rather chilly side here in the holler, but yesterday it was a nice sunny 73 degrees. Earlier during the day, I saw 3 yellow butterflies. I have never seen butterflies here so late in the season. This reminded me that I needed to work on my butterfly blocks which I am creating in memory of my sister. By evening time, it became overcast ,and I sat on the porch watching the…

Pinker n Punkin Quilting & Stitching: Autumn and Halloween Shoo Fly Quilt and Autumn Stamp- a Fall Freebie

A Sunny Sunday quilt stack. It's that time! Quilting Time! The best time of the day- well at least in my eyes. Welcome, sweet Lovelies. Please join me and sit for a spell. May I offer you a cup of tea for your drinking pleasure? Buzz! Buzz! We have a swarm! Mr. Pinker was inspecting the bee traps and lo and behold one of them had a swarm in it. Last Wednesday night, he closed the trap door so he could capture them the next day. The nuc box was ready for them to be transferred in. It was a…

Brrr! It is down right chilly out there! Well , just a little cooler than usual. Howdy, Sweet Friends! Yesterday I was as busy as a beaver gathering up my plants to put in the greenhouse. The word from the weatherman was that it might just dip into the 30's overnight. Mr. Pinker bought a couple of wire shelves to put in the greenhouse to make storage a bit easier. We will add to them as time allows. Anyway, soon my pretty plants were tucked nice and safe as they awaited the overnight chill…

It is a bright beautiful day in the holler with the temps. already in the high 70's. I love the warm fall days! The lawn has a quilt of colorful leaves. How is your day going? I hope you are enjoying this 1st Tuesday of November. Have you started to pull out your Christmas decorations? I plan to work on a tree today. The kitchen and small foyer is decorated in all its Fall and Thanksgiving glory. The tiered tray has loads of pumpkins , turkeys and a happy Pilgrim couple. Turkeys tureens are…

A very berry good morning to you , Cupcakes! I am feeling Fridaylicous! How about you? I could not say goodbye to April without sharing a saltbox stitch with you. If ya'll saw my Strawberry Hutch Tour earlier this week , ya'll know that strawberry season is upon us here in the South. Lots of reds and anything berry related. So I just had to stitch myself a Berry House. Eeeh I hope you like it!! You know me and reds. This one makes my heart go thumpity thump. I debated and debated on whether…

🎵🎜 Love Boat Love, Exciting and new Come aboard we're expecting you.. Love, life's sweetest reward... The Love Boat....🎵🎜🎵 Heee Heee!😀😄 Is this song going to be ringing in your head all day? Do you remember it ? It's The Love Boat theme song from the 1970's -80's television program. Photo from Wikipedia I do believe I have seen every episode of The Love Boat. 📺🚢❤ Well the reason I bring it up is because when I was stitching my newest Valentine's stitch, I was singing it in my head…

A blog about quilting, cross stitch, crafting, decorating, thrifting and more.

Brrrr! Baby, it is cold day . Come on in, snowbunnies ; it is a perfect day to sit and stitch the day away. Please excuse me if I stay in my jammies for they are so warm and snuggly. My most recent little finish is Snowman 1869 Crock. Do you recognize the little guy? It is Baby Flake from my Flurry & Flakes SAL .😀☃ You may remember him in The Family Portrait embroidery. Baby Flake always looks so inquisitive doesn't he? He loves his little buddy especially Flurry which is one of the…

Happy Spring, ya'll!!! Today is officially the first day of spring. Come on birdies. Sing till your heart is content!!!! Mr. Pinker and I rolled in from our camping trip yesterday evening. I do not have any photos to share for we had a cold weekend with spurts of rain and yes even a few snowflakes. ⛈❆😲 Mr. Pinker's fishing tournament was cancelled and so he happily chauffeured me around to any thrift shop that was in a 20 minutes drive. So you can imagine I was one happy camper. 😀😁 No…

Well hello and good morning. A fall freebie in December? Why not. I recently posted a tour of my Thanksgiving hutch and received some lovely comments about my decor and a number of inquiries about my cross stitch called "Fall 1869 Crock" . I had stitched this piece months ago, but never posted it on IG nor on my blog until I did my Thanksgiving hutch tour. I love to collect crocks and one day I would love to have a big 5 gallon crock. I have a few small ones that I put quilts in. I…
