PQ 10.6 Chocolate Craving

Hello Friends!

I have been sewing a lot lately.  Mostly EPP but I will share that with you later.  This post is about the last project for this season of Project Quilting.  The challenge this week was Chocolate Craving.  I really had no idea what to do.  I was actually going to skip this one because I am quilting the flannel quilts I made with my father's shirts.  I just Googled chocolate quilts and a chocolate bunny showed up in my search.  I was going to make a pillow but decided on a little wall hanging instead.  And here it is:


This measures 8x8 and was made in Monticello WI.
The bunny was a scrap piece from my stash.  The floral background was purchased at Blue Bar Quilts in Middleton.  I just loved that floral and bought a yard to put in stash.  I love quilting from what I have on hand.
I will edit this post to share when and how to vote.
Big shout out to Kim and Trish for a great Project Quilting season!!!  Thank you both so much for all of your hard work.  You inspire us all!

Blessings!

PQ 10.5 Abecedarius

Hello Friends

Hope you are doing well.  I have been busy working on things lately.  I have decided to really work on an English paper piecing project.  I will show you more of it later.  It has over 2000 1 inch hexagons. :)  This post is about my Project Quilting piece.  This week the theme is Abecedarius or of the alphabet.  This weeks sponsor is Sam Hunter.  She created this book Quilt Talk.  I have used it to make my word of the year quilt for the last 3 years.  I love this book.  I love paper piecing.  I took these letters and copied them at 56%.  They are tiny.  All this talk about this and I haven't shown you a picture of what I made.  Here it is:

We pick on each other at work and say this all the time.  I thought it would be fun to put the saying to fabric.  Sam's book and letters were perfect for this.  The pillow measures 16x16.  It was made in Monticello WI.
   That's all for now.  Voting opens on Sunday at noon if you care to vote for me. Edit:  I am number 20. :)

Blessings
