Another Binky Bunny and Some Hand Embroidery

Life keeps getting in the way of my sewing.  It's so annoying.  I have accomplished a few thing, though. 

Another Baby Binky Bunny from the pattern I mentioned in the last post.  Love this one. I prefer the eyes hand sewn in place.  I loved his embroidered nose until my son wanted to know why I embroidered a rose there.  Now I'm feeling insecure about it.  By #3 I should have this stuff all straightened out.

I've also been doing some hand embroidery while watching television and when in the car (as a passenger--no need to worry for your life).
From the Lecien website
I found this design on the Lecien website among the free quilt patterns.  I've made some very minor tweaks in the design and changed the colors completely to match the fabric I'm going to be using.  The Lecien quilt is also quite colorful.  I just don't have that fabric or those threads in the stash.  I really, really must start using up the stash.

Off to enjoy the sun before it's gone.  We have had SO  much rain lately that I hate being inside when I finally see some sun.  Hope y'all are having a nice weather day, too!

  1. Brazenly bop your boy with a binky bunny (how's that for alliteration? LOL!) and don't worry about his nose - it's cute, as is the rest of the bunny :) Love the embroidery too - it's modernly vintage - adorable! Enquiring minds will be watching to see what you plan on doing with that particular design!

    It's sunny here today - I was already outside a couple of times - once for a walk, and once just to admire my peony bush and to visit with whatever people happened to be walking by - now I'm headed down to the dungeon to work on a Michelle Patterns zippered pouch - I'm changing up the pattern a bit (quilting the outer layer instead of using firm interfacing) - wish me luck :D

  2. Well aren't you a busy one! I do not have one child in my life who is young enough for cute binky bunny, but I like yours! I love the little hand embroidered fairies and I'm relieved to know that you aren't sewing and driving at the same time! Nice job!

  3. I'm also relieved to know you don't Sew and Drive. The fairies look fabulous flying amongst the flowers.
