I got my first issue today of a new quilt magazine called Primitive Quilts and Projects. Wow! I love everything about it- even the advertisements look wonderful and prim!
If you like Bonnie Blue, Lisa Bongean, Primitive Pieces by Lynda, Cheri Payne and Jan Patek (to name a few) then I would recommend a subscription. I want to make one of each!!

This is my lame attempt to decorate for Easter. The poor lone bunny has been in the wooden bowl for a couple of weeks now and I only noticed how stupid it looks.  I think I have some plastic eggs I could put in the bowl, but seriously I think it would make it look worse.
Have a lovely Sunday!

    I got mine today, too, Lori and I love it.

    Poor bunny - the Wabbit Daze Gang are talking about coming to save her. :-)

    Thanks for the review. I just saw an ad for this and it looked really good, I'm getting tired of my quilting magazines, so this might be a nice change.

    Oh, I am jealous. You got your magazine before me.

    That bunny needs some friends. Or maybe jelly beans.

    I literally run to the mailbox every day looking for my issue, and my Mom is calling me almost every day asking if I've got mine yet (we both live in California). It looks wonderful - can't wait. I usually can't get too excited about decorating for Easter either - too much natural wonder going on outside!

    That magazine looks so cool. I love everything from Primative Gathering. I am going to have to try and find a copy. Thanks for sharing.

    WOW ! Looks like a great magazine... thanks for sharing I will definately check it out.

    The bunny is cute... maybe just a little grass or some material scraps (in a pinch)... will help him sit up...

    Your Easter rabbit just needs a few friends to share his big bowl with!!! I'm sure with company he will look a little happier LOL!!!
    Your new magazine looks very interesting, maybe in your next post you could tease us a little by showing a few pics of the inside! Don't know if we will be getting it here (Australia)!

    OMG girl -- you are so funny! That poor little bunny looks like he's in pain, resting on his bony little backside in the hard (yet lovely) bowl. I had a good laugh when I saw him. How cruel to laugh at his loneliness.

    Great suggestions already. He could rest in a nest of almost anything --plastic grass, jelly beans, chocolate candies. Or go with more of a stitching theme and rest him on a nest of floss or perle cotton or spools or scraps of wool--whatever appeals to you. I'll be anxious to see what becomes of him :)

    Look forward to seeing that magazine. I actually have a couple friends in there if I'm not mistaken. I think Gloria Parsons is a contributor if memory serves. …which it doesn't always, eh?

    Poor bunny looks so lonely, maybe some plastic eggs?
    I'll have to look that magazine up next time I'm at Barnes and Noble.

    oh my~! that poor lonely bunny.
    maybe you could just put some spring colored fat quarters in there to keep him company . . . or some rolled up orange woolens (aka "carrots") ?

    i've recently ordered the Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine subscription and am very much looking forward to seeing my first copy.
