Sew & Tell ~ April 14, 2025 from Melva Loves Scraps

I'm still off galivanting around... we've had a few challenges along the way, but we are still enjoying our time exploring together ❤️

We finally made it to our destination and thought our time was going to be cut short due to a death in the family. Turns out the service will not take place until after Easter. While saddened to hear the news of our brother-in-law's passing, he had fought a long battle with cancer (3 years), and he is now pain free. It is a little unfair that we are left here grieving the absence of ...

A Time For All Seasons Finish from Melva Loves Scraps

My most recent finish was the block of the month from Sew Incredibly Crazy and Friends... A Time For All Seasons.

I had a layout but I was in a quandary about how to finish it... sashing strips or not??? Seasonal fabrics? Just a neutral fabric? Checkerboard?

And then I was in the shower thinking of what I might do in the studio when I got out... and an idea hit me!

I had a batik charm pack and there was just enough to be able to make sashing strips and make it a gradual transition in colors to the ...

A Time For All Seasons - January from Melva Loves Scraps

The final blocks of the "A Time For All Seasons" BOM offered by Amy Warner at Sew Incredibly Crazy and Friends captured January perfectly!

The pine trees were fun and reminded me of our ponderosa pines that we have in our yard.

We have nurtured and cared for these trees for more years than I can remember and they (most) are finally about 6 feet tall.

One block is scrappy style and the other is a little more matchy-matchy...

Since I opted out of the applique this year, I made a few improv snowmen. They look a little funky but ...

A Time For All Seasons - December Blocks from Melva Loves Scraps

December is a month of celebrations, family and gifts. And Carol over at Just Let Me Quilt offered up some really cute blocks...

I mean that singing angel is adorable! But I have been skipping over the applique blocks of this BOM and doing two of the pieced blocks. The gift block does have piecing, but there is still the bow that is required applique.

She graciously offered an entirely pieced block for those like me that prefer them. I made two of them... one yellow and one with a very light blue.

The star is a significant part of ...

A Time For All Seasons - November from Melva Loves Scraps

This month's A Time For All Seasons block from Joan at Moosestash Quilting captures the fall/Thanksgiving theme so wonderfully...

I did one colorful block that reminds me of Indian Corn... and a fall wreath that I made with the girls one year for Thanksgiving. It is looking a little tired but I love the little corn husk dolls that are on it and I simply cannot bear to part with it yet.

A Time For All Seasons - Gathering Leaves from Melva Loves Scraps

As the calendar turned over to October the days were still warm - quite warm. We were still able to sleep with the windows cracked open... we even camped with very little need for the heater overnight.

As I write this post it is in the mid 30s and it there is snow on the ground! Not just some snow... but at least 10 inches... and wet, heavy snow! We desperately need the moisture as we have had little to none since August. And with the fall winds that made their return (indicating a change is seasons), along with the warmer ...
