Every year for Easter I plant pots of grass. It helps to bring a bit of Spring into my home. This year they all seem to be having a ‘BAD HAIR DAY’! Every time I look at them they make me giggle just a little.
Bad hair day or not, they still managed to find a place among my Easter décor.
This one seems to be enjoying himself (hmm…maybe it’s a she) next to my cute little toad stools.
I’m sure that my chocolate bunny wishes that he could escape to that field of grass he spies just outside his window. So sorry Mr. bunny, not gonna happen!
This one has got to be the most hilarious of them all!
I planted this one to go outside on my porch. What happened to ‘WELCOME SPRING’? I’m sure that you couldn’t help but notice that snow in the background. That’s Utah for ya!
No matter what the weather my little pots of green grass bring me joy and make me smile!
Chocolate Bunnies quilt is ready to take to the quilters!
I can hardly wait to see it completely finished! Quilting always adds so much and Becky does such a great job.
At times I never thought this day would come.
Thanks for all of your support. I couldn’t have done it without you! Also, a big hug and kiss for Amanda for letting me use her already prepped freezer templates for my last block and scalloped border. Saved me bunches of time!!!
All but the last block was done with the needle turn applique method. I sort of cheated and finished with the freezer paper method. Oh well, I’ll never tell if you won’t. Oops, I already did!
Take some vintage reproduction Easter cards…
Add A touch of glitter…
Place a few dainty flowers on paper rosettes…
Tie it all together with ribbon…
And what do you get?
WA-LA An Easter Garland!
A long time ago in the land of quilting a quilter decided that she wanted to learn how to applique.
After taking a trip to a fun local quilt shop, Broadbents she signed up for a needle turn applique class – “Chocolate Bunnies”
At first she was gung-ho and completed her blocks before anyone else in the class. Mind you they weren’t perfect. After all, she was a beginner. However, they weren’t bad and she felt as though she was improving with each one.
OH, the dreaded mistake. She put them down. That’s all it took and she found herself not being in the mood to work on them. Actually, she tried once while flying to Puerto Vallarta for a vacation. This was not possible because her daughter kept sleeping on her shoulder.
Alas, the poor little critters got tucked away into her U.P. (unfinished projects) box. It’s not a bad place, it’s actually quite cute. A fabric covered blue with brown polka-dots box.
Two years ago she picked them up again and managed to complete all but two blocks. But behold, Easter arrived and she lost interest.
As of late, she has been hearing the smallest little peep…peep…peep. Yeah, I know, it’s called Chocolate Bunnies; but what’s a bunny without a chick friend?
So out it came again. What do you think? Can she complete it before Easter?
I know that her little bunnies, chicks, rooster (yes, there is one rooster) would like to come out of the barnyard. It’s getting a little boring in that cute blue and brown polka dot box!
so close but yet so far away from being finished.
Large chocolate bunny – that’s a whole lot of chocolate!
There’s that rooster I was talking about.
How sweet, they take turns pulling each other around for fun.
At least they have a few toys to entertain themselves.
I think that they are so bored that they have nothing better to do than sit on eggs. Maybe they are trying to hatch some new friends. Can bunnies hatch eggs?
What’s this you ask? That mighty hole where the last two blocks belong. What do you think? Can I fill them? Keep your fingers crossed!
