Snow, Cold, and Spring Fever

 When last I blogged, we were in the midst of big snows, and lots of cold weather. I can't count the number of days David spent in flannel shirts (and he really doesn't like flannel).  I even purchased some more just to keep from having to do laundry every other day.  All of this winter weather led to a bad case of Spring Fever.  I spent my days finishing the Orange Crush quilt............

Here it is on the longarm.  I put this little topper on the longarm at the bottom of the quilt and quilted it as well.

They are both fully finished now and ready for show and tell at guild tomorrow night.  Such nice spring looking fabric.

And then, I just couldn't help myself, so I made a rabbit..............and some paper pieced carrots.

Here is the flimsy of this wall hanging.  It's not quilted yet, but will be soon so that I can hang it for Easter.

The whole thing was so fun to make.  The bunny comes from the Elizabeth Hartman Bunny Bunch pattern and the carrots are paper pieced from a pattern I downloaded.  Each carrot is different.  The bunny's shirt fabric came from the fat quarter I received from our guild's Quilted Cow box.  I will be using this as my challenge project for guild.  We had to use some of the fat quarter we were given and keep the dimensions to less than 80 inches in perimeter and a few other requirements (which I may have bent the rules on a little).  

All of the bad weather found Mabel getting to spend more time inside...........

She helped bind the Orange Crush quilt.

She tried to take on Esme with a pencil, but Esme wasn't having it and got the pencil away from her.

And the back of the couch became a favorite place to sleep.

More cutting table mischief.......

Orange Crush was a UFO, so that crosses another off my list.  More finishes to come.
