Sleeping Bunny

The day I found this picture on Pinterest I instantly decided I have to make this cute little bunny!

Same day I did a pattern (approximate) and started to search among my Liberty scraps.

Next day it was done and sent to my niece for her baby boy to be born next November.

The patchwork body measures 22 cm x 22 cm (about 8.50" x 8.50").

I enjoyed so much sewing this cute cuddly toy that I will make a second one right now : we are expecting several babies soon... Opportunity for creating adorable things!

Gypsy Four patch Quilt Borders

These days I am still adding borders to enlarge my Gypsy Four Patch quilt top to fit my  bed.

Unfortunately I had no fabric enough to cut stripes properly : following the prints of the fabrics. 

Well... let's say it is boheme style! 

You can see this quilt top before borders were added here.

Hexagons in Summer Heat!

Summer started abruptly this year : since Saturday we have here in Athens Greece 40 ˚C (104 ˚F)!!

Difficult to quilt with this heat, but what I really enjoy is to hand sew very early in the morning, in the back yard, before it becomes too hot.

Among my hand sewing UFOs, I found those Liberty hexagons abandonned last year... I will try to finish a pillow size 19.50'x19.50" (50 cm x 50 cm). I had done a tutorial for those paper pieced hexagons.

During sewing I can admire my almond tree full of almonds, hoping the harvest will be good this year!
