Hi Merritt! So happy to visit with you today! I kinda love your giant pincushion!! It looks like a miniature couch pillow and putting it on your pew will be perfect. It’s very happy. The fabric stamps you made are adorable! I am definitely going to make some of those. Thank you for telling us how you made them. Your finished sampler from Momma Loves You GB turned out so cute. You inspire me to one, too. I like the backstitching you did around the star on the other Sampler you are working on. It really pops now. Keep working on it, I am sure you will find a way to make it work. Can’t wait to see your Christmas quilt all finished! The blocks are really cute! Happy stitching til next time!! 🪡🧵🪡✂️✂️✂️☃️☃️☃️💕💕💕

Hello, Cathy, That giant pincushion just makes me smile! I'm glad you like the fabric stamps; they can be addicting, just so much fun to fussy cut images and cut around them with pinking shears. Oh, I hope you do an "Unfinished Sampler"; it is really a lot of fun. I did not plan anything and it just worked out. I think the backstitching made a difference on Harriet. I will keep making a few changes until I like the colors. Vintage Christmas is a fun quilt, excited to see it all come together. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Happy Stitching! 🧵

What a great video! Loved your projects. I like the idea of making stamps. I love fussy cutting interesting fabrics. I’d like to make some, loving the idea of putting extra fabric in them to make sturdier. I have used fabric to make greeting cards and enjoy doing those. A great I Spy quilt you are making. You find wonderful things at estate sales. That Blackbird quilt and cross stitch book is lovely! Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️❤️📗

Hi, Gerry, Thank you so much for watching and for your kind, encouraging words. I hope you will give the fabric stamps a try. They are so much fun and a little addicting! The I Spy quilt has been a lot of fun to make and I can almost see the end. Estate sales are quite fun in my area. I was happy to find the Blackbird "Country Inn" book - I love that it has quilting, cross-stitch and recipes. Happy Valentine's Day to you! Take care and Happy Stitching! 🧵

Beautiful projects! Glad to see Vintage Christmas coming along nicely. So envious you are going to the Teresa Kogut retreat!!!! Can’t wait to hear about that later.

[@Merrcraw15]

Thank you, Janan. It helps to have a Quilty friend pushing you along or I might not be this far along with Vintage Christmas. Wish you could come go with me to the Teresa Kogut retreat. She is such a sweet lady and so talented. Hope you are enjoying lots of creative time since retirement. Happy Stitching and Quilting!

So I had to go find my Blackbird book to stitch one of those hearts because I was sure I had it. Great finds at estate sale!

[@Merrcraw15]

Hi, Jan, The Blackbird Designs are always so beautiful and the "Heart Remembers" book is wonderful! Looking forward to her market releases. Yes, that estate sale was a fun one. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Take care and Happy Stitching! 🧵

Merritt, I’m working on the border on Harriet Charlesworth and I’m stitching a red Algerian eyelet in place of the Single Cross stitch. Each one looks like a tiny red rose, absolutely beautiful!

[@Merrcraw15]

Oh, sounds so pretty! I would love to see it. Are you on Instagram?

[@lindamcdermott3102]

@@Merrcraw15 no, I’m not, but I’m really enjoying making this small change and find it a bit dramatic actually!
