I have been quiet because I have been busy… QUILTING. Yes, I have been spending more time behind the Bernina these days. I recently completed a baby quilt for my neighbor, who will be having her 1st baby at the end of this month. I participated in a shop hop with some friends when I came across a pattern by Bunny Hill Designs titled, Binkies on Broadway. Having recently seen the new baby room I knew that this was the perfect design. Fortunately, I was able to complete the quilt before the arrival of the new baby; that’s a first.

I am working on two other designs by Bunny Hill the first is Yoyoville.

I just love this quilt. I decided to stitch mine using a fall color palette and am busy making yoyo’s….lots and lots of yoyos!
The second design that I will be starting soon is called Little Friends.
Designer: Bunny Hill Designs
Design: Little Friends
Size: 44"x52"
I am going to stitch mine in shades of blue, green and yellow and have put together this collection of fabrics…
I still want to “audition” a few more fabrics but I must get started soon. My son’s friend will be having a baby in early November and I offered to stitch a baby quilt; what was I thinking???
A few weeks ago, our Quilt Guild held their first ever quilt show, and what a fabulous show it was! Seriously, they had 200+ quilts on display and about 40 vendors, not bad for a local quilt guild. I decided to enter my miniature quilt for judging and was very excited when I saw it on display looking like this:
Garden In Bloom
Miniature Quilt
Yes, I won two ribbons! I won 1st place in the miniature category and I was awarded a ribbon for Best Precision Piecing. The quilt measures 15"x18" and consists of 331 hexagons, all hand pieced.
I just mailed two exchanges so I should have some cross stitch pictures to share in my next post….whenever that might be.
As always thank you for taking the time to stop by. I know that I have not been very diligent with my blogging but it always takes me SO long to create a post, sometimes it feels like a 9-5 job. :)
Until next time...
