Rabbit has lost his balloon......



can you see where it is. Hence the name of the quilt 'The Balloon'. In my original drawing the rabbit was looking up at the tree but I decided to add a balloon and that is why he is looking up. Poor rabbit his balloon is all tangled in the branch also you may notice he is missing his tail but i asure you he will be getting one. This morning I added a few more bits of applique and began the quilting but I have still not decided on wall hanging or quilt? It may just become a lovely wall hanging as I have so many other quilts I am itching to make not to mention several quilt tops that need layering and quilting! I must point out the little bird in the tree was a gift from my friend Leanne in Tasmania (Australia) isn't it delightful (note to self) must ask her where she got it from.

Susan, I'm glad you didn't go with this at Southport, as I would still be drawing the design!! It is lovely though, look forward to seeing what you end up doing with it. luv Joan

thanks Kath and Caz x

Joan my lovely, hope you and Elaine are well. I had a small applique wall hanging in mind for Southport but it wasn't to be. This has just evolved from many doodles of rabbits and flowers. x
