This weekend midi monster has a birthday party to attend. It is the 10th birthday of his best friend.
You may not know this, but midi monster is a very talent young sewer. He can happily set up a sewing machine and can sew patchwork blocks, quilt and make simple things. His best friend is also a young sewer, he has helped his mum set up her machine and discover stitches she didn't even know about! They both attended sewing classes with me earlier this year and loved it.
But what to give a young man that will be meaningful and not too expensive?
The obvious answer is a quilted bunny cushion to go on his bed!
During an search on the internet last weekend we came across a wonderful pattern sale last weekend at
Oh Fransson, the wonderful blog written by
Elizabeth Hartman.
Elizabeth Hartman designs the most amazing blocks and quilts. Her new animal shape blocks are gorgeous and luckily there is
bunny one!

Just look at those amazing bunnies!
This evening we have printed the pattern off and sat discussing the cutting instructions for one bunny. After much consideration it was decided that mummy should cut out the required shapes - they are little bit fiddly.
So begins the first new project in quite sometime..... plus a short deadline! Must be ready for the birthday party at 11am on Sunday!
Wish us luck!
