Heritage Quilt Block 11

I finally got another block done and with that only 3 remains.  I am so glad this quilt is finally getting done.  Can't wait to see the end result which I think will look stunning - compliments to Jenny Haskins.

Mystery Quilt

We received the next clue at our meeting last Tuesday and stitched the next set of 72 blocks in two colour ways.  These were a bit more labour intensive with a total of 360 pieces joined and all the seams ironed open.  I fuzzy cut some of the blocks to create the effect I wanted.

Bunny's Galore

It was merely coincidence that I was busy embroidering bunny themed baby stuff at the time that pageant religions pay homage to the so called easter bunny.

An ex-colleague of mine ordered 2 spit cloths adorned with bunny's as the nursery is set up with a bunny theme as well as a very cute "future triathlete" caricature as the new little one's Daddy partakes in this grueling sport.

For the bunnies, I used the Morehead Bountiful Bunnies which can be bought at Sew for Less

and combined different embroidery designs and add lettering to make up this ensemble.

I then continue with another 2 spit clots as part of my gift using the same set of embroidery designs.  As the baby's sex was still unknown at the time of the baby shower, I stayed with neutral colours and was not able to add the little one's name.


I also embroidered another one of Inspiration Mutz's Bunny Doorstops which can be found here.
