Easter Bunny....Stash and Thank you Lori :)

While at my LNS this afternoon I received this PS Freebie and HAD to stitch him up. Oh...I just think he is the CUTEST! He was such fun to stitch! I didn't want to use a dark black fabric (as even with my bifocals and something white beneath the dark black I still have problems seeing the holes)-but I did want a dark fabric so I hand dyed some myself. I LOVE the way he looks against the linen :)
I finished him off with 2 pieces of felt, one dark pink and a lavender. Added some purple button from the gingham ribbon hanger and of course a gingham bow. Isn't he just too cute???





Designer: The Prairie Schooler
Fabric: 32ct. hand dyed by BeckySC
Fibers: DMC
Start Date: 3-2-2012
Finish Date: 3-2-2012


And what I brought home from my LNS today....



The mail brought these cute note cards and journal from Lori C today. How sweet :) Thank you dear Lori :) Please email me as I do not have your email info in my contacts :)



Thank you all so much for your sweet comments on the Sewing Clamp :) I appreciate them so much.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit today. Please do come again :)
hugs and love from SC,
BeckySC

Hi Becky,
Very cute little bunny. You always come up with a winner.

Don't you just LOVE stash-building? Mine is ridiculous, but I keep on going. Can't seem to help myself! I'm going to blame it on those talented designers out there. It's not that I'm weak-willed--- they just keep coming up with things I can't live without :>)

Can I ask what you used to dye your fabric Becky? It turned out such a great shade! The bunny is adorable!

Fantastic stash additions! I see some of the new market releases in there.
I have several on my wishlist.Not having a LNS any longer makes things a bit difficult. I wish I could see things in person, particularly fabric and floss.

Wonderful little bunny!! I love hand-dyed fabric....but I admit that I usually buy it. One of our Kansas shops is Picture This Plus...a mecca of hand-dyed fabrics. Just met there Saturday with a stitching group....and considerable stash enhancement!! lol
