Happy Spring

I went out this morning to the grocery store and spotted this wonderful bunch of tulips. I had to bring them home with me. What are you doing to celebrate the first day of Spring?

I listed some new items on ebay tonight if any of you are looking for some Spring things to brighten your home. My grubby quilt batting bunnies. Love these!!

Next up is this prim pocket made from an antique quilt with some of my batting bunnies tucked in.

This little bunny is tucked in an old metal measuring cup. He's a cutie!!

Another little batting bunny tucked in a peat cup with some paper Easter grass and a prim egg tucked behind him. There is a grouping of 3 listed.

Next up is a grouping of 2 bunny pillows. Rabbits are cut from an antique quilt and hand stitched to a nice pink striped homespun.

Short work day and Eagle table topper

Well, today is day three of my 9 days of work in a row and I'm happy to say it is a short day. I'm only working 5 hours today. Yeah!! I have a little time before I head off to work, so I decided to work on my Eagle table topper. This is how it looked on Monday.

And this is how it looks today. I traced, ironed on, and cut out all the applique pieces last night and ironed them on today. I do my quilts the easy way. Instead of doing my appliques by hand, I use wonder under and fuse them down. I then quilt around them. I love the look of hand applique, but it is very time consuming and I just don't have the patience.

Now I just have to sandwich the quilt and quilt it. Maybe next week.

Have a wonderful day!

New ebay goodies and finished quilt

Happy Monday everyone. It is a beautiful day today. The sun is shining and the temperature is in the high 30's. I took full advantage of today as it is my last day off work for 9 days. Not sure how I'm going to handle working 9 days in a row.  I'm thankful to have a job, but I was so looking forward to having more days off. We usually slow down for a couple of months after Christmas, but this year is different. We've been busier than usual. I decided to try to get alot done in the last couple of days and I have. I finished Cody's eagle quilt last night.

I also had a goal to finish my snowball block quilt top by the end of the week end and I can check that off my to do list. I finished it yesterday.

Today was sewing day with the girls and I completed this quilt top. I cut the pieces before I left and finished the top before heading back home.

It will look similar to this eagle table topper when I am done. I made this one also. I one I am currently working on is for Jane (Cody's second scout mom). I need to finish it before his Eagle Scout Court of Honor in 6 weeks.

This Spring basket was completed also. I will be listing on ebay this afternoon.

Another finish being listed on ebay. A cute little spring rabbit on a crackled box.

This little pin is from a Patti's Ratties pattern and will also go up for sale on ebay.

Well, I better head on over to ebay and get these goodies listed. Have a great week!!
