I have recently found that I am enamoured with alphabet bears. For some reason they are appealing to me.... perhaps because there is another grandiebaby on the way and I am feeling nanaclucky?????
A friend of mine (Lyn with no blog) has been making this one
... she is a clever clogs and generates her own design from bears she found on line HERE.....
... aren't they ultra sweet.....
I've been trying to persuade her to do a set and sell them!!!
(thank you Lyn for letting me take pictures and show them off!!)
Anyway... I have been stitching alphabet bears too ... they are going slowly at the moment as I have decided to sew all the bears and then go back and do the other things in the block
but I did get the borders on these blocks .... I think they are working out just how I wanted it to look
these are from Michelles set of Alphabet Bears ...

This is some quilting I did for The Quilters Angel recently
log cabin style blocks so I did sweeping feathers in the middle and then ziggy zaggy lines around the edge
it is a small sample for a lovely kit called Apple Bloom and all done in beautiful Tilda fabrics
..... pretty pretty....
I'm very lucky they let me play with their lovely fabrics
meanwhile there is secret sewing happening....
an EPP challenge.. hmmmmmm
Righto... Gotto Go... I had to reverse sew bunny ears (several times I might add - the trouble is if you decide to make a bundle at once and make a mistake... they are ALL wrong).... so now they are waiting patiently to be stuffed !!! sigh

Your alphabet bears go beautifully with their pretty fabrics, and your friend's bears are cute and a little different to others out there! Your quilting is just gorgeous......puts mine to shame......just as well Easter bunnies still have a couple of weeks until they are needed.

How exciting to be having another grand baby coming! Your alphabet bears are going to make a stunning snowball/9patch quilt...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilting and the Easter Bunnies look like fun.
Lots of lovely sewing! I agree that Lynn should publish her bears - they are really cute. As are your bunnies, even if they were frustrating.
ReplyDeleteYou've been very busy Fiona. Lyn's bears are gorgeous. Your rabbits will be so cute once they're finished.
ReplyDeleteLove all the bears - Michelle's pattern, and the lovely ones from Lyn, yes she should be designing and selling patterns! Cute cute little bunnies, Fiona....
ReplyDeleteThat alphabet bear quilt is very quilty. Love it. Hmmm, that is a sneaky way of showing some secret sewing. Looks good even in blurry black and white. Those bunnies are sooooooooo cute! Love 'em. Well worth all that reverse sewing. Your feather quilting is lovely. I really admire machine quilters.
