Bunny House Lane

Two little ones are going to have a sweet Easter surprise.

I've finished 2 bunny houses, 2 sets of furniture, and 6 bunnies and all are in their new homes

ready to be loved by little people.

 

 

Welcome to Bunny House Lane.

 

 

Two houses made to look like our cabin.

One with brown bunnies and one with white.

One is for a little boy and one for a little girl.

 

 

Orange furniture in one.

 

 

Red furniture in the other.

 

 

I just love those pictures of families walking away from the camera.

 

 

 



 

Two little houses made with a few modifications from McCall's pattern 8346 from 1982.

These are the second and third ones I have made.

The first one was blogged here.

 

You may tire of seeing these little houses as I have orders for a lot more.

 

I have a ton of ideas for colors and animals

and enough orders to use them all.

 

 

I'm happy to have these finished in time for my Easter deadline.

Doing a happy dance.

 

There is a blog hop going right now where bloggers are revealing superpowers.

 

 I'm not in this one (that Easter deadline), but I've been cheering everyone on

and enjoying all the inspiration.

 

 



A Happy Little Mailbox for me and someone else

Dancing Triangles Foundation Paper Piece Block Pattern

I would like to thank everyone for all the sweet comments for my

flags and flag stands.

 

Hubby and I were overwhelmed by the response.

 

When cleaning the "inbox" on my email,

I didn't get very far when I ran across several requests for

the pattern to the

little dancing triangles

at the bottom of

Triangle Confetti.

 

Triangle Confetti Quilt

 

The pattern

Triangle Dance Paper Piece Quilt Block Pattern

is now available on

Craftsy. 

 

Here are some other ideas for the block:

 

Dancing triangle pattern grouped in 4 blocks to form a circle of triangles.

 

Dancing triangles place randomly with random colors.

 

Dancing triangles in one color grouped in 4 to form a circle. 

 

This one would look great in the cabin.

 

And that is what I have for my Friday finish.

Linking up with
Sarah

and Amanda Jean at Crazy Mom Quilts.
And for one luck reader and follower who has made it this far and is still reading...

I am sneaking a giveaway.

Home and Heart - Flags on a Stick Blog Hop

 

 

With the arrival of spring, it's time to get outside and make our outdoor space ready for

warm entertaining.
 

(The calendar says spring is here.... )

The weather thinks otherwise.

 

 

Madame Samm at Sew We Quilt created a blog hop called "Flags on a Stick" where everyone is to design their very own garden flag.

 I signed up to make a flag
and
hubby jumped on board to make a couple of garden flag poles for me.
:^)

 

A great big thank you to Thearica over at Pig Tales and Quilts for organizing the blogs participating in this hop.

She has done a great job!

Home



Welcome to Duck Creek



 I made this flag to welcome guests to our home.

It represents our home with the cowboys (Dodge City)

and

the ducks (Duck Creek surrounds our home).

 

 

The background fabric is a piece I snow dyed that looks just like a Dodge City sunrise.
Black Kona fabric for the silhouettes.
I wrote the word welcome in chalk at the bottom and then covered the chalk lines with jute twine.
The twine was couched with zig zag in a matching thread.
I put a little fabric glue on the ends of the twine to keep it from fraying.

 

The cowboy sihloutte is my husband's pattern
that he cuts from metal.
There were some very narrow cuts for fabric, but I love the result.
I will have this pattern available soon.

Heart


My daughter is going to be married in October this year.
As the mother of the bride, I'm very happy for her.
I'm also a little sad.
(Is that normal?)
I suppose it is kind of like "empty nest syndrom" in a different kind of way.

 

 

I used this dress as part of the fabric for my next garden flag.

Don't worry, the dress had a few stains and wouldn't have been useable in any other way.

I'm not usually a saver of things, but I have a few special things from when my kids were little.

This is a surprise for her.

 

Wedding garden quilt.   "I Do"

 

We can wave this flag to greet guests at her wedding.

 

 

Then later, it will make a sweet wall hanging for her home.

 

 

 The bride's dress is fabric from my daughter's little dress. 
I used the lining and the lace overlay.
The wedding colors are to be purple and lime green.
Hubby, once again, made the flag holder
and I designed the pattern for the flag.

That is my home and heart.

Be sure and check out the other waving flags of the day.
There will be some beauties with this bunch, I assure you.
