Chasing Rabbits.

  Do you ever get a flash of an idea when you least expect it?  I do. It always happens to me while I’m in the bathtub. 

  While bathing a couple weeks ago the image of a appliqued rabbit popped into my head.  I suppose the idea came from all the vintage appliqued quilts I ‘ve been studying.  I love the old quilts with awkward appliqued animals.

  The idea of one rabbit became five.

  Why are they running?  Because they are being chased by a little girl.  I remember when my Daughter was just a tiny little thing and she liked to cuddle animals like a crocodile just wants to “taste” a baby zebra.  One of my friend’s more no nonsense cats took care of my daughters aggressive petting.    

Just so you know, my daughter is excellent with animals now.  It’s been years since I have seen a fist full of fur.

    My sister used to carry our cat under her arm…EVERYWHERE she went. I don’t know why the poor thing put up with it but he did.

    I just found your blog and am so impressed by your work! Are there any books you would recommend on your style of quilting?

  6. Do you need to get a tv set, motorcycle, auto or blackberry mobile phones? However support the ideal subject available to you! Why not listen closely and examine if you’ll need a blackberry mobile phones.
