This week Kathy Schmitz gave us an extra, free pattern for those who are in the club. She had made it up for the club and realized we would like to make it now. It was a fun pattern and worked up in a day, I think I might make more. Actually I wanted to make a boy bunny and she gave me permission to redo it as a boy, but I found one of my old patterns and made a couple to work on this weekend. I think it will be fun to make little cut out bunnies for the boys.
Not thrilled with my finish, so I may do two more, a boy and a girl in the method she used, as bowl fillers or shelf sitters. I used my Faber Castell art marker for the yellow and for the pink, I used my watercolor pencil. I was worried about it running, but I just dabbed my brush in the water, then dabbed it on a paper towel and it blended the color without going out of the lines.
I also made up some more stocking blocks. They are fun to do and I know I can actually put this together and finish it, so a good project to get me back into quilting. I am not sure on the middle stocking, maybe too bright, it is a gray check and my sewing skills were lacking this week;)
And I have been playing with my beach finds. I like trying them on different backgrounds and taking a photo to see how I like it. This way I can keep playing, until I get the look I want. I do like how it looks on the patterned paper, but I think the blue is too dark, so I will have to look for some lighter barn wood papers.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. We have nice weather and of course Bill has to work over time, so no beach combing. I think I need a break and it will be nice to relax and work on my projects. The angel and dog wings are brown sea glass, that we found last weekend.

Another fast stitch. The bunny is so cute. It's the time of year to display them.
Love the wood grain effect, is there a chance you could do a white wash on the blue you don't like and see if you can lighten it a bit? Or do you have something else you can use it for?
Great job on the bunnies and I love how your rocks are playing out.
Have a great weekend.
That bunny sure is cute and I like the idea of trying different backgrounds with the rock arrangements. After a clod blustery rainy week, the sun came out around noon. Hope you are getting a taste of spring too.
Debbie, I love your 'rock' designs. Your bunny is so cute. Happy weekend. :)

As I've said before, you are one speed demon when it comes to completing projects, and your rock/glass creations are so sweet.
Hugs :)
