Another Little Quilt Swap #4

A new swap is getting started by one of my U.K. friends, Kate North.  Kate is an experienced hostess and has hosted Another Little Quilt Swap three times already.

If you are interested in more information, please look at the blog dedicated to the ALQS-4 swap:

http://anotherlittlequiltswap.blogspot.com/

On the blog you will find:
        a)  the rules and guidelines set forth clearly;
        b)  a list of International quilters interested in the 4th swap;
        c)  all the quilts from previous ALQS swaps, too. 

Intrigued?  If yes, simply send Kate an email (links on her blog and the ALQS blog).  Then create a special quilt (or two!) for this swap.
If life intercedes in an unexpected way, never fear, as only those that finish their quilts and send proof (ie digital photos of said quilt) to Kate by the deadline will be eligible to swap.

April Fool Harvey

The beginnings of my silly April Fool's BJP.  Can you tell it is totally inspired by the goofy nose that fell off the "Groucho Marx costume glasses".

I was quite puzzled over what to do with this guy's mouth and eventually decided to add a moustache over a couple of big white buck teeth. Can't forget the bowtie, although I'm wishing it was lime green now!

Now he reminds me of Harvey, the invisible six-foot tall rabbit that only Jimmy Stewart could see in an old classic film.  Now wasn't that rabbit named Harvey?  Better still, what is the name of that old movie ...

My simple BJP for April 2009 is named April Fool Harvey and he makes me smile ... all the time!  too goofy!

April Showers

Recently, I realized that I never completed the first year of the Bead Journal Project .... oh my oh my oh my, how is that possible?......once my surprise dissipated, I worked to complete the idea started back in 2007.  Here is my eleventh BJP:
