Sailing along!

I have been working on piecing up the backing for my "Scrapbag Sailboats" quilt.  I made more little sailboats and appliqued them to a strip of  Kona Snow.  I also made a wavy strip and appliqued that down as well, using the rawedge technique.  Looks really cute   I bought the piece of fabric with the banners to make the backing...couldn't resist it. I have also decided to try something new with this project.  I will be using Quilter's Dream Poly for batting.  A few  quilters that I follow have been raving about it so thought I would give it a try.  Will let you know how it works.  I have my FM quilting plan in my head..somewhat...and  I am anxious to get it started. 
I will be using a Sulky Blendable in a blue variegation.

I made this quilt for my QuiltySister back a while ago, and I have been waiting for her to visit to give it to her. She loves it! I named it "Rabbit Stewie".   I made it for her to commemorate her precious bunny rabbit "Stewie" , who she had to give away to a new home before she moved from Holland to Malaysia.  That was a few years ago, but she still misses him.  The pattern is from Rabbit's Haven and is called "Huggable Me".  I won the pattern in a giveaway and knew I had to make it for her



I received this gorgeous pair of scissors as a gift from QuiltySister.  Love them!  I adore scissors and I have a nice collection. 

Hope you have time to do something quilty today!

  5. The appliquéd sailboats are adorable. So is the rabbit quilt. I've had two rabbits and they make wonderful pets. I can understand why your sister would miss hers.
