Owl and Hare Hollow HQAL

Posted on June 8, 2025 by craftycreeky

I felt I’ve been plodding along with this quilt over the last three weeks, I can’t quite do one square on an evening, however when I photographed it yesterday I’ve made a lot more progress than I thought. I tend to spend the early evening in my sewing room then at 9pm I usually go and be sociable in the lounge, and that is where I am quilting this quilt.

Three weeks ago I had just started the 39th block out of 49…

I’ve finished a few blocks round the edges which I find more fiddly as they don’t sit well in a hoop. When I opened the quilt out for a photo I was surprised to see I only have six blocks left to do, so the end is nigh!!

I’m pleased with how the whole circle theme has worked out with the border and the outer circles being regular, then a variety of circles in the middle depending on the block.

I don’t think I’ll have my happy dance shoes on next time, but it shouldn’t be long now!

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!
