Slow Sunday Stitching--New Start and Easter Decor

 Slow Sunday Stitching--see more projects on Kathy's Quilts blog. 

I made a very lazy decision on my next cross stitch project--it was already in the tote I use for portable projects! This is another $6.00 DMC kit I bought at my local fabric store. 

The kits have this nice large graph.  I like to color mine with pencils. The embroidery thread comes already on the card and the kit includes a hoop, needle and of course Aida cloth.  All you need are scissors!. I marked the center of mine with contrasting thread to help keep me lined up.  Starting in the center is best for me, though I have seen lots of folks start with a border design if included in the chart.  

I never noticed until I took the pictures that this was called Winter Bouquet.  It looks more Spring to me!

Some Spring/Easter decor got arranged on the sideboard.  I made that Easter card many decades ago and got it back after my MIL passed away.  She saved it all that time! The bunny and bow are cut from fabric. 


Another card made by a family friend, and my favorite glass eggs and bunny.


More bunnies in the vase with an egg tree :)


Some more favorites on top of the lawyer's bookcase--I bought the mini quilt years ago at a guild sale.  Glad the nearly 100 degree temps are gone and our usual low clouds and fog have returned.  Happy Spring!

Two Minis

So I played around with the photo editor app I have called Aviary, and enhanced the poorly lit pics I took of the mini quilts I bought at the guild show. 

At first I thought this was a panel print, but it is not!  I think each square finishes at less than an inch. Blue isn't a color I usually work with, so buying someone else's work is a good thing!

This is the one Lani made. Lots of scrappy goodness here!  Both minis have hanging sleeves so I can slip them on my stand. 
I don't have a mini for each season, but this runner is Spring-y enough to provide a backdrop. 

Love this leaping bunny on a stick I bought last year at Pier 1.  Is Spring in bloom where you are?
