Here it is, one more step closer to hippity hopping away to its new owner. I just love the way the colors all blend together and the expression I was able to put on this little bunny girls face.
In between picking up the house, dropping kids off at school, putting in job applications and sending off resumes...going to the local unemployment office, picking a child up for piano lessons, going back to school to pick up the others, dropping off Girl Scout cookie money....I was able to put the main part of this quilt together!
This pattern was designed by Jeree McDade, is called: 'Will Work for Eggs' and was found in McCall's Quick Quilt magazine from March 2005. No, I am not a hoarder, I keep the patterns I hope to use someday in vinyl page protectors in several notebooks and when the mood hits me, I make what I see. The original used lighter block and egg colors, but I love the deeper purples and the pink bunny makes it pop!
I have been working on this little bunny girl for the last few days and just love the way she has come out. The pattern didn't call for anything in her basket, but I added some yellow flower buttons and 2 baby rabbit buttons and her basket looks perfect to be delivered!
Thanks to Dayna for sending me the wonderful new Singer machine at Christmas, this little girl, her whiskers and the matching eggs and decorations just got done lickity split!
I added some embellishments to the eggs and used purple backgrounds. Since we no longer have a fabric shop in our town, I used my pinking shears on ribbon to make my own rick rack.
What I really like is that I took everything out of my stash, I didn't have to run to the store for anything including the buttons.
Each time I run into Olympia, I stop by JoAnn's and pick up buttons, ribbon, etc.
I use decorative buttons on lots of my quilts, since I don't have a machine that does embroidery, I find buttons fill in nicely.
When it is completed, I will post a picture. I hope to make several....this one is going to one of my granddaughters that I never get to see and I miss her so much.
I want to make 2 for my Zibbet shop to sell and another one for another granddaughter. I will be a busy person over the next week or so, but does fill my hours when I am not looking for a job.
