Baby Quilts - Rabbits

I've been waiting for days for the weather to clear We've had rain for well over a week now and trying to take a decent photo when it's dark and dingy inside is almost impossible. I had great plans of pegging the quilts outside to get some nice shots, but that just wasn't going to happen. So you'll have to imagine these photo's were taken outside in lovely sunshine, surrounded by nature. I'll need to wait for better weather for the next quilt as the colours are so bright they just get washed out inside with a flash.
A Couple of weeks ago I showed you this photo. (Click on any of the photo's for a larger view)
It's been added to, with rabbits in the corner looking upward.

To this sleepy girl.

It's been backed with little brown bunnies playing in a garden.

And bordered with a soft green check.
Finished. All washed and ready to give to Hollie.
I had to keep my hands and mind busy while I waited for news on Luke. Hopefully if the weather improves I can show you what I've done with these little fellows.


Happy Stitching.

The rabbits are perfect! And yes, stitching is the best way to keep our minds off of things! I stitched nearly my whole Quilter's Journey quilt last May while sitting with my husband as he was hospitalized for a week! I really think the stitching keeped me sane!

Oh WOW Linda! I think Hollie's baby is going to be so very content - I know that I would be if I was nestled under such a beautiful quilt!!

I really love the colours, the flowers really pop!

I am still amazed by quilting, how do you squish it all up under your sewing machine and still get it not to "ruffle"?!!

Have a wonderful day!
