Over the last three weeks I’ve been concentrating on finishing the Peter Rabbit sampler and the quilt, so I haven’t had much time for my Owl and Hare Hollow quilt, I have made some progress though.
Three weeks ago I’d been finishing several half made blocks…

I then started another embroidery, another cute owl one, he’ll have tiny button eyes when I’ve worked out how I’m going to quilt this one. I love the hanging plant holder and the spider!

As you can see I even managed to make and stitch all the hexagons on, though it still needs a good press to remove the frixion pen circle and it needs the tacking threads removing.
In the last couple of days I’ve started another embroidery, this one has a birds and flowers theme…

I’m on the homeward straight with these blocks now, there’s one more embroidered block from this magasine and a few pieced ones, oh and an applique one too. The last magasine I think has just one embroidered block and maybe one or two pieced ones, it’s mainly instructions on how to put the quilt together. So I’m nearly there 🙂
Hand Quilt Along Links
This Hand Quilt Along is an opportunity for hand quilters and piecers to share and motivate one another. We post every three weeks, to show our progress and encourage one another. If you have a hand quilting project and would like to join our group contact Kathy at the link below.
Kathy, Margaret, Deb, Nanette, Sharon, Karrin, Daisy, and Connie
I’ll also be linking up with Kathy’s Quilts for Slow Stitching Sunday, please follow the links to see what everyone has been stitching.





You have done a fair bit on this project and it looks absolutely gorgeous. Not keen on spider though! It will look wonderful when you sew it all together.
