from Evy:

Quilt block making is made even more fun when you can make a block super fast and easy with your embroidery machine! Since I happen to be a huge fan of machine embroidery I was tickled pink to be invited to participate in Sulky’s Block Party for 2019 because that meant I could bring you an in-the-hoop block! So here it is – the Bunny Quilt Block! This machine embroidery design comes in two sizes that can be accommodated in most 6×10 and 8×12 hoops and is multi-formatted for today’s most popular machines.

I love Sulky Soft ‘n Sheer Stabilizer as a base layer for my blocks. It stays soft, doesn’t stretch and is perfect for backing batting in the hoop. To make this block you’ll need enough Soft ‘n Sheer to fit in your hoop, some pretty fabrics, very lightweight quilt batting, the Bunny Block embroidery design and thread. I recommend Sulky’s 40 Wt. Poly Deco thread for the construction and Sulky’s 40 Wt. Rayon for the bunny motif, but keep in mind that you may certainly use the Poly Deco thread for the motif too if you’d rather have a sweet matte finish.

I added a soft, fuzzy knit appliqué fabric behind my bunny motif, but that’s optional. The bunny is a bean stitch design and looks great as is.
