Bunnies and Babies!


Karen of Log Cabin Quilter used my new pattern to make a wonderful wool applique piece. She made it into a fun piece with the pink wools and the beautiful shades in the homespun for the border. I love how she also used a textured wool for the arms to give the bunny more shape and definition.

Karen sent me a photo and I tried to lighten some so you could see the details but it is hard not to lighten other colors too much. I can imagine how wonderful this is in person, wool always looks better in person.


We had wonderful weather on Saturday, it actually went over 50 and I wanted to get out and enjoy it. We went for a nice ride down the back roads and checked out the rivers, did a little shopping and ended the afternoon with a visit to my son's house. Of course we all know grandma just wanted to play with the baby outside, lol. Mom was working so I took Nicholas for a walk along the river, they have a wonderful neighborhood to walk in. He loved going for a nature walk. I hope everyone got to enjoy one good day, spring is coming!

    Ahh, I love baby Nicholas' bear hat. Perfect for a walk in the woods. That's a nice stroller too.
    Love Karen's version. I enlarged it and saw the detailing. Nice!
    We're supposed to warm up and get rain this week.
    Blessings,
    Carol

    Cute version! Now is the time for a kid to learn to enjoy nature. Good for both of you!

    When I saw yours I wondered how it would look in wool and voila there Kaaren does it. They both look lovely, now to see a cotton appliqué version and you've got the trifecta.

    Your grandson looks adorable you must be so happy things are warming up in your part of the country,
