Welcome to my day on the White Rabbit Blog Hop, hosted by Carol of Just Let Me Quilt. For this hop we were challenged to create something with white fabrics, rabbits, or rabbit fabric. My thoughts for this challenge kept going to cute white bunnies and Easter. So I opted for a cute Easter tote.
The blog hop challenge idea came from a tradition of saying “white rabbit” on the first day of the month. The phrase is supposed to bring good luck for the rest of the month.
I had not heard of this tradition, but it sounded good to me, I can always use more luck.
Spring flowers and a cute bunny tail are just what I need to help fight the winter blahs.
The weather has been unreasonably cold for the south this past week, 18 degrees at night is way too cold for me. These fun spring colors sure help warm up the place.
Luckily we will return to our regular winter weather and be back in the high 60s by the end of the week.
Be sure to check out all the other white rabbit creations hopping around this week.

I am calling this one Majestic Mountains and this time around I wrote down all the instructions on how to make it. The pattern is now available for purchase in my pattern shop.
One of the things I like best about this pattern is that it uses up the entire strip pack with minimal scraps left over, just crumbs really. Those don't hurt nearly as bad when I toss them out.
Okay, I will admit I did save some of the 1.5 inch pieces, but that is my limit.
If you want to make your own this pattern will be on sale for the rest of the month!
Here is the same pattern using Island Batik blues.

December is all about Celebrations for the Island Batik Ambassadors. This month's challenge was to create something for a holiday that is special to us. I picked Christmas. It is one of my favorite holidays and I just had to make more faux cathedral window pillows, this time with Christmas colors.
These only take a few scraps to put together. I gathered various greens from different Island Batik projects over the years.
And some lovely Island Batik Scrappy reds.
For the white, I had just enough yardage leftover of this Island Batik pinecone holiday print.
