Welcome to Treadlestitches!
Easter is tomorrow, and this little bunny is wishing a happy one to all who celebrate.
Spring is here, even in Wisconsin! The grass is getting greener, and the daylight lasts a little longer. Still cold, though. I had to wear my coat when taking this photo, and the wind just wouldn't quilt.
This is the last of the pink quilts I started during February, which was pink month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. The blocks are Uneven Nine Patches aka Puss in the Corner, and were made from four 5 in. squares each. (Click HERE for those directions.)
Four fabrics in the quilt are bunny prints! So it was appropriate to finish it in time for Easter.
These bunnies are hopping all around. This was an Easter print years ago from That Chain Fabric Store.
Here's the fabric the little bunny at the top of this post came from. Cheeky, but a Nice Bun.
And then there's this Hoffman print, that one of my quilt group friends gave me literally yards of.
So that's all the pink for at least a little while. What about purple?
So far I haven't sewn much, but I got out this pile of Big Scraps to cut.
More bunnies, this time in purple. And other novelty prints to make my little houses. (Click HERE for my first post on this project.)
Isn't it amazing how many shades of purple there are? I just love that Laurel Burch cat print. I'm including it in the purples but in the wrong light it looks dark blue. It won't matter in the quilt, of course.
Our cold and rainy weather lately made it a good time for some new puzzles. Our little guy loves working them. By the way he didn't put that whole puzzle together. Grandpa had already finished it, and Little Guy takes apart one section and puts it back together again. He has his own puzzles, but it's more fun to work with Grandpa.
We went antiquing recently, and I got a "new" cookbook. It's that nice clean one on the right. Not that new really, it was published in 1986! But like new inside--no torn pages, and the sections still have their tabs. My old cookbook has been with me since before I was married. I got it with S & H green stamps in 1974 or 1975, while I was still in college. I'm keeping the old one while I make sure my favorite recipes made it to the new edition. If not, I'm writing them down. I do use the internet to find recipes, but I'm old school--I prefer a book. How about you?
I'm wishing a very happy Easter holiday to all those who celebrate, and happy quilting to everyone!
Cheers for reading,
