The Rabbits Have Been Let Loose

Several weeks ago my friend, Karen from Karen's Korner, showed me some cute little rabbits she was making and I asked if she minded if I made some for the ladies in my sewing group. 

I set to work, gathered my fabrics from my stock - didn't have to buy any fabric for this project.

I have to say that they were quite mischievous at times, and on one occasion 5 of them went missing - took me several days to find them. 

There were faces to be stitched on, and of course tails to be attached.

Once the bases were stitched up, it was time to turn them right side out, ready for 'feeding'.

I decided to 'feed' them with Easter marshmallows and small chocolate eggs.

Now time to take them to my sewing group and hand them out. All were suitably surprised and delighted with their little bunny.

I was so pleased that they were accepted so well - I  (personally) am one of those that has trouble making items to sell on stalls etc., but prefer to make items as a surprise and give them out. Makes me feel all 'fuzzy'.

Well, that finishes off a lovely day for me, so ....

'Til next time,

Best April Fool's Day - Stitching

 The wait was finally over and we gathered to enjoy a lovely day with a visit from the wonderful designer Nikki Tervo and her husband John.

Nikki & John brought up a terrific array of quilts, patterns, stitcheries and threads etc for us all to ooh and ahh over, with their 'pop-up' shop, and of course that meant quite a dent in our wallets with all the lovely items we purchased - I was no exception!

Included in our day, was one of Nikki's designs - the pattern with it pre-printed on fabric along with the stabiliser required. You could either bring your own threads or purchase a pack of the required threads for the project.

The day also included BYO morning tea and lunch or you could purchase needs from the cafe at the Arts Centre.

Here I am with my friend Kim getting into some stitching.

I have been to several stitching days and I have to say I felt this one was the best.

Back to our 'normal' Ladies Sewing Circle next Tuesday, where I am sure we will all tell of our great day out!

'Til next time,

June
