It's Wednesday!

Wednesdays roll around way too quickly!  I have made progress on my RRCB (Roll, Roll Cotton Boll).  The FMQ is finished...binding is made and ready to be attached.  Still can't say that I like this quilt so I am hoping I will love it when it comes out of the dryer.


This past Saturday, I was pleased to be able to meet and shake hands with a fellow quilty blogger, Jeanette from Stamp.Stitch.Create.  We discovered each other's blogs by linking up on TN&TN.   Jeanette had a sale of her handmade items at the Dartmouth Farmer's Market at Alderney Landing and I was happy to stop by and meet her and see all her wonderful items in person.  I bought a gorgeous little zippered bag that just screamed out to me.  It now contains my videocamera and accesssories.  Perfect!  It was my first time attending the Market in Dartmouth and I will be sure to return.
This is the Ferry just arriving at Alderney Landing from Halifax. 

I am linking up with TN&TN, so stop by and check out what is happening. 

A Bunny Hop!

During the Quiltmaker Magazine 100 Block Blog Hop, I was so very lucky to win this sweet pattern from  Rabbits Haven, a Canadian pattern company located in Mayne Island, B.C.  When you entered the giveaway you had to tell which pattern you would choose from all the wonderful quilts and stitcheries designed by Arlene.   I picked this one because I thought my Sweet Sister would love it.  I want to make it for her to remind her of her sweet little Stewie, the family pet bunny.  When she moved from Holland to Malaysia she had to find a new home for Stewie because she couldnt take him because of government regulations.    It was so hard for her to leave him.  I have some lovely soft pastel batiks that I think will be perfect.  If you check out this website make sure to go to Arlene's blog as well.  Her artwork is amazing.
