Easter Bunny Tracks in the Snow

Hippity, hoppity,

Easter's on its way!

But first, a little snowfall whitened the ground

here in western Pennsylvania,

not far from where Punxsutawney Phil made his faulty

prediction for an early spring.

I found some tracks in the snow this morning,

clearly made by bunnies!

I've always loved bunnies,

so a few years ago I made a whole bunch of them,

when I designed my

Multiplying Rabbits quilt!

{Yes, it's time again to show a quilt I made a long time ago, before my blog was born.}

The fabrics I used are from the first complete line

that I ever fell head-over-heels for,

Paris Flea Market by 3 Sisters for Moda.

{I still love it that much, and it's been re-released!}

I can't draw to save my life,

but I somehow created a bunny silhouette

that I really love.

I put cottontails on each one,

to show they have their backs to us...

because they're so shy.

Some of the bunnies are facing the same direction...

and others are mirror images.

{I think they're in love!}

They won't run away...
the picket fence keeps them safe and warm inside my house.

I'm pretty proud of my quilting,
done on my home machine.

I did a ton of stippling,
right over the machine appliqued rabbits.
For the borders, I used
Golden Threads quilting paper
and traced a continuous floral design onto the border.

{After washing, the quilt is soooo soft, crinkly and snuggly.}

I love bringing this quilt out every Easter...

But I'm pretty sure this is the first time
I've brought it out in the snow for Easter!

Whatever the weather in your area,
I wish you all a very Happy Easter,
filled with joy and blessings!
