Well here is May's Block. Click here to hop over and get the pattern. It's under Free Designs on the left. While you're there, check out lots of new stuff I've added to the shop. Quilt hangers, Steam A Seam 2 and Rabbit Embroidery Scissors! Fun!
I love how it's looking so far! This month's Valdani 3 strand floss color is P7 Withered Blue.
I just restocked the 12 of Hearts Floss Kits if you would like to get one.
Now on to our giveaway! This month I thought it would be fun to offer a DVD. This is from Quilting Art's and it's workshop on making fabric journals. I love using little scraps of fabric, stamps and embellishments to make little journals. It's really fun!

Thanks for the May block. Love it...as always !
how gorgeous are the blocks that you have done.
Thanks for the blocks! I'm running a bit behind!
The DVD looks good - I've only recently discovered Quilting Arts magazine here in the UK!
All together, you little hearts look scrump-dilly-icious! Journals are lots of fun to make and always so appreciated when gifted to others. What a great give-away! ~karen

Love the blocks & lovely embroidery thread colours! :) The DVD looks great!
I have been keeping up on the hearts, they have been fun. I love the quilt you shared in your last post. You have been a busy girl. I am following your blog of course.
Can't have too many hearts. Lovely thread colours.
Oh my! The problems leaving a comment today. I had to delete the previous comment because I had tried so many times to leave it they all stacked on top of each other. Sorry I hope it deletes it on your end as well.
The blocks are neat and fun.
I would love to win your giveaway. I see so many of these fabric journals and wonder where do you start? I see fabric combinations that I would never put together, that not only work they make the piece sing!
Heres hoping this comment goes through...fingers crossed.

The May block is wonderful! I'm thinking of making a wall hanging for my DIL from these blocks.
Another pretty block , thanks Shell . I am a follower of your great blog .
The fabric journal DVD would be a wonderful Guild meeting presentation. PS: I'm having fun collecting your 12 of Hearts patterns. When the King quilt is finished, 12 of Hearts is next on my list. Thanks.
Thanks Shell for another piece of the puzzle - wish I had time to embroider all of them. Just collecting right now - Judy C sends her best.
what beautiful embroidered hearts and I love fabric journals!
Another gorgeous block, thank you Shell! I still need to print mine off, does it come with more hours in my day? *G* Lovely giveaway - thanks for the chance to win! Hugs to Harrington!
Adorable!!!! This is really skillful! I'd never be able to do this, but you pulled it off wonderfully! Cant wait to see the rest!
Hugs,
my first visit. i'll be back!!! and i love quilting arts. now, i must look around and see whatcha got.
Hmmm - another re-appearing post - I love visiting, so I'll post another comment. Love the Hearts - I;ll admit I am a bit behind, but plan on catching up this weekend. I purchased one of your Valdani kits for the stitchery and love them.
Oh boy!!! Please count me in for the DVD give-away, Shell! Now I have to download this month's Heart and get busy. This month is my birthday month!
My college daugther home for the summer and I would love to give the fabric journals a try! thanks for the lovely giveaway! I am a follower too!
Just dropped by to say Hi and enjoying the visit. Keep me out of the drawing - I'm afraind it would not get used here .. now if you have a southern cook book ....
(Bunns say Hi Harrington)
Hi Shell, That looks like an awesome dvd. Fun, fun, fun! I am a follower also.
Hi Michelle, Your heart stitchery looks like fun to do, I'll try it. I think watching is the best way to learn anything and to express in fabric, personal experiences and thoughts, sounds challenging. Thank-you for this give-away.
I'm happy to follow your blog. God bless you
The hearts are coming along nicely..
Mama Bear
I love the hearts and am a follower too. I read your blog every day -- miss it on the weekends!!!
Hi everybunny! Thanks for this Shell, love the hearts. Follower, of course.
Hi Shell! I just hopped over from your Facebook page. What a great giveaway, cute heart, lovely floss, and I'm a follower, too, of course. :) Love it all!
Love your wonderful "Hearts" quilt and I am a follower too! Those Valdani threads are just beautiful, and I love working with them too.
I love the hearts quilt...I have been following you for a while, but have been just "lurking" for a while...I am out in the open now!
I am glad that I came back to check for my comment. I would love to win this DVD. I have so often seen other's create these journals and wondered where you start? The colors and materials used, I would never put together, but they work! Not only do they work these combinations actually make the project sing. The quilt blocks are great, easy to do and whimsical! Thank you for an opportunity to win! I have not been following you long, but I have enjoyed every minute of it!
Deb
Hi Shell,
Had to come back for another visit, as I think my last comment went west.
I love the pretty hearts you are making, so pretty.
I hope that you are having a happy weekend
Hugs
Carolyn
Hi Shell,
What a fun idea- I have never made a fabric journal but I did once upon a time make fabric photo albums for gifts. It sounds like a very fun prize.
I am one of your followers -it is always nice to see what you are up to on Raspberry Rabbits.
Hi to Harrington.
Warmest regards,
Anna

The Valdoni floss looks so pretty together. I would love to make a journal. It would be great to keep pictures and notes on the quilts I make. Thanks for the chance.

Hi Shell and Harrington....oops.. Sorry Sir Harrington, puling my forelock..sorry Sir. I would just love to win this DVD, of course i would. Doesn't everyone??? And of course you know I'm a follower....where you lead Sir Harrington, I'm hopping right along behind...just a little bit slower, I think??
Hugs Gloria
Hello Shell, Love your blog. I am keeping up with your BOM, love how the blocks are coming out. I love this size, not yet retired, so it's a manageable project. You and Harrington have a great week!
Please include me in your giveaway. Love Quilting Arts.
I follow your blog.
Did you notice that in the grouping of 5 heart squares the middle on the top row is a woman's face. The hat she is wearing reminds me of the one worn by one of Fergi's daughters to William's wedding.
You do nice work.
