The White Rabbit Blog Hop is started on Monday, hosted by the fabulous Carol @Just Let Me Quilt. Many thanks to Carol for another great challenge.
The Challenge this Time: On the first day of each month there is a tradition for people to say "White Rabbit" first thing in the morning. The phrase is supposed to bring good luck. Even President Roosevelt did this.
We are challenged this time to make something with white fabrics, rabbits or white rabbits.
When I heard of this challenge I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Many, many, many years ago I started a quilt with a group of online friends. It was the Blessings Quilt Series by Jennifer Lokey and Karen Roosien. You could make each of the 4 sections as separate quilts, or put them all together into one quilt. I had made first section "All Things Bright and Beautiful". Then the whole works went into the closet since 1999. I had pattern, my completed section, and all the fabrics bagged up in a zippered bag. The first section had an embroidered rabbit in it.
I plan to have this quilt completed for our quilt show in May, so I got busy trying to complete the rest of the sections. I completed the "All creatures great and small" section and sewed it to the other section.
I almost got the "The Lord God Made Them All" section done, with another rabbit in it.

ReplyDeleteThat you still have all the pieces for this since 1999 is amazing. I'm sure I'd be missing a piece or two after so long.

Such a treasure of embroidered rabbits on it that deserves to be hanging at your quilt show. Thanks for sharing, Karrin!
