Welcome to MooseStashQuilting. If you've never been here before, I hope you find it a fun place to romp thru, for ideas. If you have been, I am delighted you've stopped in again!  :-)


I have to say, when Michelle at the Quilting Gallery, said she was sick of the the winter blues, we were in the middle of a good size storm here, and I was feeling her pain!



 

  So to cope, I decided to turn my thoughts towards Easter, which is rapidly approaching.

Now if this little guy can't warm you heart... well what can I say? He is another one of those marvelous Whippersnapperdesigns (its linked for you)  rubber stamp cuties.

 I recently stumbled on WhipperSnapperDesigns.com thru Pinterest. Their designs were so adorable, that I knew I wanted to turn them into quilties. I contacted them and asked and they graciously gave me permission do so for my personal use.

 

The simple shapes allow for loads of fun playing with free motion quilting and thread playing.

It really gives them personality!

 



 

Adding a bright lime green border was the perfect way to say "Hello Spring, haven't seen much of you under all that snow lately!

 

Now if you have read my blog, I have talked about letting your fabrics speak to you when quilting. This is a good example. The plaid, made for perfect quilting lines. As I was working my way thru the border, I decided that I really didnt' need to go back the opposite direction. I rather like the looks of the simple straight stitches.

 

 

 Looking at the back, you can see what I mean.

Don't you love peeking at quilt backs.

 The texture, that all the stitching reveals, is so visually

 exciting.
 

 

So there you have it.

 

You've heard that old adage, Spring has sprung...
