Doing the Bunny Hop

Happy, happy Saturday and welcome ya'll. Are you ready for an awesome weekend? Oh , boy I am ! My weekend started last night when I joined Wendy at Sugarlane Designs for Friday Night Sew In. Do you want to see some of the projects I worked on? 

A little green hen is the start of a new chicken quilt. It is going to be a small quilt. One block done ; eleven more to go. 

I then worked on one of my  Spring Chick embroidery blocks. 

This is a freebie that I posted Wednesday. Click here if you missed it; I would love for you to join me. I was going to embroider these 4 little chicks in red , but changed my mind to black. I am going to make a quilt. 

Did you see my Spring on the Farm cross stitch this week. It was a freebie that I am in love with right now. Click here if you missed it. 

I had the urge to start a new saltbox on Monday. 

This one has a little orange kitty on the roof and a porch swing - a perfect spot to sit , relax and stitch the day away. I worked more on this stitch last night as well. 

See I think that is a great start for my weekend.  Now to continue the fun how about let's do a little dance- A Bunny Hop. You want to try? Well, we all got to get in a line first. Do you remember doing this dance as a child? Lol.

I created a little prim  bunny stitch using only 3 floss colors. It is called 1869 Bunny Hop. 

I made mine into a little pin pillow and added some tea dyed chenille trim and a gourd pin with buttons for embellishment. 

If you would like to stitch it, please check out the pdfs below. You know I am not a professional designer so each page is on its own download.

I would love to share with you some other things I have been doing this week.

 I  worked on a few green rail fence blocks since I am participating in Angela's of So Scrappy Rainbow Scrap Challenge. 

I worked a little more on my strawberry quilt. I shared 3 blocks last week which were Bowl of Berries, Strawberry Jam and Strawberry Pie. 

 This week I have a Chocolate Covered Strawberry . Yum yum. 

We used to sell chocolate covered strawberries at a local fair years ago. We also sold strawberry shortcake and strawberry cornbread. 

Recently, I Rit dyed some 14 count aida a lovely mint green. 

It was an experiment with mixture of Emerald Green and a dash of Lemon Yellow. I knew exactly what project this minty green fabric was going to be used on - Val's Little Stuff "Spring's a Buzzin " .

 This chart was a sweet gift from a stitching friend. I just used  random flosses from my "Basket of Tangles"  ( My floss basket- no organization going on here. Lol) .

Doesn't it look so cute paired up with a jadeite saucer and my mini Pink Lemonade quilt? 

  I also worked on another Easter stitch called "Easter Peeps" by Helen Daily. It is a freebie available on her Flosstube channel #77  posted March, 2, 2021 video.

So do you have any stitching or quilting on your agenda for the day? I hope so if not I hope you are doing something that brings you a lot of joy.  Thank you so much for visiting; it is always such a delight .  I wish you many blessings and as always...

Happy quilting and stitching, ya'll
