Bunnies! Bunnies! It Must Be Bunnies! *

Oh, my goodness! I just saw the funniest online video: Dr. Horrible! I laughed so hard... and I finished my bunny. The bunny body, excepting ears and tail is made from a simple square of knitting. Cool, huh? Here's a link to the pattern. Tiny got "Eastern Lights" quilt today. She was so happy, she threw it over her head, stuck her arms out and hugged it. Yay!

  4. Quilted
  5. Bound

I win! Tiny's turning fourteen in two weeks. She knows this quilt is hers, but I think she can wait until then to receive it. Happy day!

A Journey Begins with but One Small Step

...or something like that. I have to keep repeating that quote to myself as I work on moving my projects forward with the little goals I set. This is the progress made on the "Red Thread" project going at it 15 minutes a day.

However....
I did set aside my goals for a day and worked solely on cross backs for the quilting ministry. We like to have a cross of some sort on the back of each quilt. As the Scrap Queen, I want to use up some of those scraps filling four bins in my studio, so I scrapped the crosses! Here's the back (and the front) of a quilt we named "Tic Tac Taffy." Lynda did the front--the pattern's called "Barbara's Antiques." Yeah, I don't get it either.
There's a little more room in the scrap bins, now!

And look what little goals do: only a few inches left on this binding. And I came up with a name: "Eastern Lights."
