Announcing!! Little House Sew Along & TGIFF Linky Party from Melva Loves Scraps

It is with great pleasure that I announce the start of a new Melva Loves Scraps Original Sew Along! This is a sew along that I have been considering and pondering and developing for over a year. You may have seen some of the development and creation along the way... I hope that it was enough to gain your attention and interest in participating.

I am also hostess of this week's Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday. This Little House Quilt that I have named Laura is my featured finish. She measures approximately 57-inches square (after quilting and shrinking ...

Patchwork of Love ~ TGIFF Party from Melva Loves Scraps

I am happy to be here as hostess for this week's TGIFF party.

The quilt I am sharing today is a bit bitter-sweet... I always love the joyous opportunity to choose a pattern for a quilt to celebrate a marriage. Our niece announced her engagement on March 6th... she and her boyfriend of almost 6 years were wed just 10 days later.

The reason for the rushed wedding was that the Bride's father was near the end of his life and 4-year battle with cancer. One of the things he had stated that he was particularly sad about ...

My Heart Beats for You ~ TGIFF from Melva Loves Scraps

Welcome to TGIFF and Melva Loves Scraps!

This is the place where quilters get to celebrate their recent finishes.

I'll get the party started with a Plus Quilt that I started in June.

I had it sandwiched and ready to quilt but had to set it aside as it was (finally) time to get my Mom moved. There were several other interruptions that happened before I was able to focus on the quilting in August (but I'll skip all those details).

As I quilted this wedding gift for a nephew and his soon to be bride, prayers for ...

Spring Table Topper & TGIFF from Melva Loves Scraps

Welcome to Melva Loves Scraps and Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday (TGIFF)!

A new page has been turned as we start the month of May. The weather has turned from cooler temps and chances of snow to warmer days, spring-like winds and chances of rain. Spring is my favorite season, followed closely with Autumn. The days of warm sunshine, comfortable temperatures so that you can have windows open and enjoy the varied sights, sounds and scents of the season.

To celebrate May Day, I created a "souvenir" Table Topper with the fabric I purchased while on vacation in Arizona ...

Mundane Monday... from Melva Loves Scraps

The mundane tasks of wrapping up a year and preparing for year-end reports and taxes took over but I have cleared the desk, paid and filed necessary reports, placed orders and I am ready to return to the studio bright and early on Tuesday morning!

While the "business" side of getting to do what we love to do can be mundane, it is necessary and I feel fortunate that I have the skills, confidence, knowledge and ability to handle the majority of the things that are required for our small business. Tax forms will be on their way very soon ...
