Hi Karen! Did you google "The Rabbit Factory"? Otherwise, you could also contact the Country Sampler Quilt Store in Omaha, Nebraska. That's where I bought the pattern. They have several patterns in stock. Good luck!

I think it is wonderful! Your purpose is great too. Maybe I will make a housewarming gift to myself when we eventually have to move from our house to an apt.

Thank You for sharing. It will be wonderful in your FL home.

Beautiful quilt and you did a great job!! Who better to gift it to then yourself. I think most of us are the same in that we are always making things for everyone else and rarely for ourselves. Good going!

Ethel, when I opened this post the first thing that happened was I saw the picture of your quilt - immediately it made me smile to myself and feel warm and comforted. Then I read your note about it being a housewarming present for yourself in your new home. Wonderful & perfect for you and your family! Thanks for sharing your beautiful work!

mommamac 11-04-2010 05:46 PM

after all that work you deserve it. Many happy times in your new home!
