Stitching is first up on my list of what I'd like to share with you. You may have noticed I have a 'thing' for rabbits. I couldn't resist La-D-Da's new design. I made a couple of changes. CC Bramble Bush was used instead of GAST Sable and I preferred a rice stitch border to the two single stitch rows for a border. My rabbit was stitched on 40 ct. Lakeside Vintage Navy Bean.

Lot's of time was spent in the sewing room too!
Piecing these Swoon blocks are a lot of fun and I really enjoy working with the Downton Abbey fabric collection.
Working with the brighter, modern fabrics is fun too! Here's another Fresh Mini Quilt Club mini quilt. It's the final pattern of Club 2... but the good news is that another Fresh Mini Quilt Club will begin on May 1st.

Switching between projects keeps quilt piecing fun and interesting.
I was the lucky winner of a giveaway from Kimber Mitchell from Heirlooms by Ashton House. It's a wonderful new quilt book by Tara Lynn Darr. I have my eye on making the Oh , Miss Scarlet mini quilt.
Spring has finally arrived and looks like it plans to stick around and not let Winter sneak back in. Owen and I have been enjoying our morning walk/runs in the prairie.

Wow Laurie! You really have been busy. gorgeous stitching. PLL is amazing. I can't wait to see your's and Margaret's in the caskets -- that will be so cool. And, yes, those big flowers take forever, don't they? Beautiful quilting also. Nice that walking weather is finally back, huh?
Of course you have a lot for a blog post! Love all the stitching! I like bunnies too and this one is on my list. Beautiful progress on Elizabeth and the Parrot. The latter is just stunning!

As usual, your stitching and quilting are wonderful! I'm always impressed with the projects you are working on. Love the Plum Street sampler, so pretty!
I'm the same as you, Laurie--I feel like I don't have anything worthwhile to show or share in a post and then, next thing you know--there is way too much!! I'd say this post was a perfect length, though.
Beautiful stitching and quilting projects and little Owen really does look delighted to be able to spend more time outdoors again... Hope you have a lovely spring!
Gorgeous stitching and quilting projects!!!!!! Congrats on winning the giveaway too :-).
I am with you and Owen, very ready for Spring to come and stay. I really want to get in my yard, but it's still a bit to early for the altitude. Sophie and Chloe just want to chase the squirrel, LOL.
Great progress! I'm glad to see Owen looking so happy, too.
PLL is beautiful--your casket will be amazing.
Owen looks so happy--I think he is glad spring has finally come
