Spring Birds Pillow!

I decided to make another Bad Birds design since they are so fun.
I enjoy making happy pieces in the winter, it chases away the winter doldrums.
You can find this and other free patterns at Badbird's Blog.

The bunny who is holding the pillow was made from a pattern by The Krazy Kraft Lady.
If you click on her free link, you can find the template, as well as other patterns and tutorials.

Giveaway Winner!

Well, I was working on the new pattern and it is almost ready, but I had problems with size and layout to get it on a single page. I also have the punch needle piece for sale, so if you are interested, I will be taking serious offers.
And I am tired, it has been a long day, so I will have it ready tomorrow. And I know you are all waiting for the winner of my giveaway;)

But, I am mean and I will make you look at photos first, lol.
I found a new pattern that was just fun and cute and had to make some pillows out of it.
I think this pattern was from a digital stamp site, but I could not find it and I did not keep a copy.
I added a little wool bunny to cover up the back slit.



When I was putting the pillows together, I found a piece of blue homespun, just big enough to make another prim bunny.



And now for the winner of the free Epattern. The winner is....... Mosaic Magpie!
Congratulations! You can get the new Spring chicks pattern or pick from my patterns on my ecrater site.
Email me with your choice. Thank you all for entering and commenting and I will make this a regular giveaway when I come out with a new pattern.

Chocolate Rabbits

Today we got a lot of snow, but too warm, to stick. I wanted to take a better shot of the crazy piece, but guess not.
I don't plan on making a bigger quilt with it, I just made it into a small square and hung it on the wall for now.

Today I was in the mood to punch and I wanted to try some rabbits. Someone said they loved chocolate rabbits, so I thought I would use my old rabbit pattern and make it into a punched pair of bunnies. I used a brown wool for the back and then stuffed them.

I like how they came out in some ways, but think I need to change the shape a bit on the bottom, so they are not so long and sit in a bowl better. I also had a hard time turning the ears and pulled at it too roughly, so it pulled out a few loops too. It was a good practice run and not something I would sell since they are messed up. I think it would be easier if I made stuffed ones to put in my wire basket, these would take too long. I also think that if I do some more, I will leave the neck plain and tie a real bow or something primitive around the neck.
