I love hand quilting, but it really doesn't make for interesting posts. So what have I been doing apart from hand quilting my SIL quilt? I finally got around to having a go at Shez's bunny pattern. This one was a practice, but I'll definitely make more, so easy and very cuddly.
The cream fabric is about 15 years old, leftover from these cute sheep cushions made for my nieces.
My secret project is finished and waiting for a photo shoot before it heads off to it's destination. I am hand delivering it to Melbourne later this week as we are having a quick road trip for my nephews 21st. I am so excited about catching up with Elyte and Marina while I'm there. Unfortunately I won't have time to visit the craft show, or Millrose, or Threadbear or L'ucellos.....maybe next time. But I am hoping that my family will let me stop to visit Carolyns Quilt Room at Wodonga.
I got a lovely squishy package on Friday from Fiona. She organised a little swap to clean out some of her up cycled wool collection. I was thinking charm squares but instead this big pile of 10" squares arrived. Excellent for the woolly stash.
Winter has definitely arrived here today. Hope you're keeping warm and finding some time to stitch.

ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE! them all, bunny is so sweet, love spots too and I love the cow and the sheep - just perfect and such fun to stitch. Stay snug, it's rather warm here in England so it's wonderful to feel summer.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute bunnies! Love them. Cool here today!
ReplyDeleteLove that bunny - and aren't all those woolly bits good to have; Fiona sent me some too so I have the thinking cap on. Enjoy Melbourne - don't freeze - what a shame you don't have more time; it would be great to see you. I'll be at the quilt show on Sunday, well rugged-up (it will be cold in the city but even colder here in Ballarat - brrrrr!)
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cute spotty bunny! I hope you enjoy your trip to Melbourne, it's a pity that you can't stay longer to check out all the quilty goodness we have on offer. Winter has certainly arrived it was freezing here today- below zero and very windy so make sure you rug up.
ReplyDeleteI love your bunny and the cow and sheep are so very cute.
ReplyDeleteAw the bunny is so cute...great idea to use a fluffy fabric on one side and cotton on the other...it's b-freezing, wet, windy is an understatement and just so darn winter here so bring woollies and take care driving down!...
