Garden Update and Quilters are the NICEST People!

Hope everyone had a wonderful and joyous Easter!  The sun was shining most of the day here and we are finally without any trace of snow!  
I did some work on the My Enchanted Garden quilt.  This is block number 6 - Bountiful Tree.  I wanted to work on this rabbit; thought it was appropriate for the day!  I made one small, but important change.
You can see here that the rabbit in the pattern doesn't have a tail...  ???  How can that be?
I felt that this poor little bunny just had to have a tail.  You can see I added a nice tan tuft on his back end. LOL
I am adding the grapes and berries... and some embroidery details to some of the leaves.
 
Now for the Quilters are the nicest people part.... but you already knew that, right?
I received in the mail on Saturday an envelope from Diane at Butterfly Threads Quilting.  If you remember, Diane was the winner of my National Quilting Day giveaway
She was so appreciative and happy with her prize, she sent me three of her patterns as a Thank You!  Is that not the nicest thing!!!???
Thank you Diane!!!  I love the patterns!

Happy Stitching!
