White Rabbit Blog Hop Challenge & A Give Away!


I've chosen to do a rerun on a quilt I shared several years back because it is so beautiful! I chose a project from Country Quilts for Friends by Margaret Peters & Anna Sutton - Published by C&T Publishing, 2004. You can find this available on Amazon and other sites sell other great quilting books.
I decided upon a lovely Spring quilt with a bunny in the center. And it has bees, I love bees! The fabrics chosen are  Flora and Fawn by Amanda Herring for Riley Blake Designs. This isn't a widely available fabric at the shops now yet I've browsed several Etsy shops that still have it available.

So Pretty! I use this little quilt as a wall hanging for Spring.


I free motion quilted on my domestic with just randomness, some outlining and little flower drawings. See the bees in the quilting?
And I blanket stitched the binding on, I've improved so much over the past couple of years! I enjoy the vintage feel that a blanket stitch provides. Complete with some pretty, flowery pink fabric for backing.
Over the last few years, I've learned about the quality of photos to use in blogging as well. I see that these are not as bright as I would like. Note to self, take photo in brighter lighting.
Now to the give away! Please leave me a comment! And follow my blog for 2nd a chance at winning the Half & Half Apron Patter by Mary Mulari Designs -Feb2023. I'm slowly going through things not needed, things never used or things that I will never make.
The winner of the pattern by Quiltoni from  my last post was Alycia Quilts- QuiltyGirl. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me!
