~Rabbit Make-do and Goodies From Quilt Shop Hop~

This week sure has gone by quickly…I’ve been busy working on orders and a birthday gift for my friend Linda. She loves bunnies, so of course I had to make her a rabbit make-do.

 The pattern is called Fly-Away Hare”. I added my own touches with a machine embroidered applique star and a wood hang-tag that I stamped the words fly-away hare on to. I really like how it turned out and she loved it!!

There sure hasn’t been any good finds at the GW in the last few weeks, but I wanted to show you these little miniature pieces of pottery that I found there. 

 I couldn’t past them up as they were only .29 cents each and they fit perfectly into this old wood tray that I have hanging on the wall.

I did take some time off from working on orders this week to go to a quilt shop hop with Linda. We had a lot of fun and got lots of goodies!! Can a girl have too much fabric or too many patterns? LOL… 

 When I saw this fabric panel…I knew that I just had to get it and make a quilt wall-hanging. Not sure just yet on where I’m going to hang it, but I can’t wait to get started on it.

 Thought I would show you a close up of part of the fabric panel…

 It’s so wonderful!!

 I also got these coordinating fabrics that went with the panel. Now all I need to figure out is how I want to make this quilt wall-hanging…which fabrics to use where. Hmmm…guess I’ll have to give this some thought.

 Just look at this book that I picked up…it is called “With these hands”. It’s such a great book…not only is there projects in the book for you to make, but they also show those projects in room settings…so it is like getting a decorating book also!!

 Love this bird pattern!! I plan to made this as soon as I get my orders finished up this coming week. The bird is a fairly large…12″ tall x 10″ wide…and when I get him all done, he is going to sit on my tavern shelf with the living room.

I also got a pattern to make a fabric wallet and a couple of Fall/Halloween patterns, which I’ll share in a future post. It is getting to be that time of year where I have to start thinking about my fall show season that starts in a few months. So before you know it…I will be sharing a lot of Fall/Halloween stuff that I’ll be making to take to my shows.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I also got some wonderful news that I want to share with all of you, but I’ve been told that I can’t share it until in July. Nope, not telling….My lips are sealed.  All I can say is that I can hardly wait….cause I’m about to burst with joy!!

   But I will say that Chloe and I hope you all have a great weekend.

Until next time…..          blessings, Cindy
