Owl and Hare Hollow HQAL

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 🙂

About craftycreeky

I live in a busy market town in Yorkshire with my husband, kids, dogs and chickens. I love trying new crafts, rediscovering old ones, gardening, walking...anything creative really I started this blog after my New Year resolution worked so well. My resolution (the first one I've ever kept!) was to post a photograph of my garden on Facebook every day. My hope was that I would then see what was good in the garden and not just weeds and work, which was my tendency. The unexpected side-effect was that I have enjoyed many more hours in the garden. I am hoping that 'The Crafty Creek' will have the same effect. Happy creating!

  1. 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.
