Love Those Pom Poms


 My Wascally Wabbits Table Mat
was a new project that got started and finished.

This rabbit project
is a "I've been sitting around for 2 years" and
"Easter Bunny's only seem appropriate during a certain period of time" project.

 So I knew I needed to get it out
and get it done.
  
The wool applique 
bunny pillow pattern
 
and is cute and simple.

My friend and I had each bought a kit from a local wool shop,
not because we didn't have enough wool ,
but because we simple adored the 
pink pom pom fringe that was included as an edge treatment.
(We have a thing for "dingle balls".)

When I use a primitive whip stitch
verses a buttonhole stitch,
 
 it saves lots of time and thread,
and for something as seasonal as this,
both of those reasons seem practical to me.

 I was thinking the pom poms might
be a challenge to sew on and look nice,
 but it was easy, especially using a zipper foot.

Now another unfinished project is done.
And I have to admit
there's something about
 those pink pom poms that
you just have to love.

Until Next Time-

  3. It's been so long since I've done any sewing with pom-poms. They were always such fun to add to projects. What a retro idea to add to this sweet bunny project. Totally cute!!

  5. So cute--with or without the pom-poms. But I admit, I have an Easter banner I bought from DD#2s booth at a craft fair and I think it was the mini pastel pom-poms that drew me to it. : )

  10. This is just darling Kyle - and the edging is darling. :) I typically use a blanket stitch on all things wool but I've begun to love the look of the whip stitch and I'm planning to use it much more often. blessings, marlene
