A few more Pets

Filed under: Pets of Bunny Hill — Tags: , , , , — Anne @ 5:57 am

Saturday is coming up fast and I’ll be announcing the winner of the “I love my pet contest”.  Chelsea is ready, and she’s been practicing choosing a winner.  She’s looked at all the photos, I’ve read her all the emails, and she’s more excited than you can imagine!

Wait!  What’s wrong here!  She can’t be sleeping through all of this can she?  This just can’t be happening.  She has work to do!

Don’t worry;  she’ll wake up for a treat.  She’s very fond of food as you can see.  Our neighbor calls her Super Squirrel and I’m beginning to think the name fits.  She’s about the right size and she’s storing up for winter.  I’ve caught her burying little chew bones lately.

Before I end this parade of photos, I just have to share a few more.  There are hundreds of amazing pictures, and so many wonderful pets!  I never anticipated such a response. I wish I could have featured each and every one.  Hope you enjoy a few more stars!

We’ll be back on Saturday to announce Chelsea’s pick for the winning basket.  She needs her rest!  She’s got a lot of responsibility for such a little dog.

Thank you to each and everyone who submitted photos!

New Clue from Michaela

Filed under: Applique, Inspirations, Quilt Design — Anne @ 7:01 pm

The hints keep coming and some of you might think I’m being tricky. I would never be tricky, even if I look a little like the lion in Michaela’s drawing right now.  I said in my last post “here’s a “little” hint”. Little was in quotes, a hint, and not one of you mentioned it!  Maybe you need some more help!   My grand-daughter Michaela has kindly offered to help with the word  “little”:

I’ve had 39 of you guess the theme of my new block of the month!  39! How about those odds for winning the prize!   I’m closing the contest on Friday so you have until 9PM Pacific time to guess the theme!  Come on my little stragglers.  You can do it!

I’ll be picking a winner sometime next week, announcing the theme and showing the prize, but you’ll have to wait a bit to see the quilt.  Just to entice you, here’s a sample of what’s included in the prize!  I picked these tins up at the Cath Kidston store in London!

Ready to go over the hints again?

1.  Christmas with some pieced blocks

2.  A little bit of snow

3.  A tiny bit of pink in the quilt, 5″ x 5″ or smaller.

4.  The fabric I’m using is” Le Petie Ecole” from Kaari, the French General! Did you notice the gray in that fabric?

5.  There’s a critter in the quilt that I like to draw almost as much   as a bunny!

6.  There’s a house in the quilt, and it’s set on snow.

7.  Last hint and this is a BIG one!  It’s an American theme with  the critter and a few reindeer.

For a bit more fun, I’ll be announcing the winner of the “I Love my Pet Contest” in my newsletter on Saturday!  If you see your name you’ll be getting that fabulous gift basket in the mail!  I had 566 of you send in a over 800 pictures and one of you is going to win!  To see all the pictures, here’s  the link to Flickr!

You’ll also be getting block number nine of Snowbound on Saturday!  I can’t wait to show you!  Just  look at my Snowbound group on Flickr!  These are such cute blocks and you can post your blocks too.  I look at them all!

Back soon!

What on earth is a critter?

Filed under: Quilt Design — Tags: , , , , — Anne @ 12:55 pm

Hummm what kind of critter do you think I might have on my new Christmas quilt?

Could it be a possum with her babies?


Or how about a camel?

Or a tiger might be nice!

Truth is some of you have already guessed it!  You’re so smart and you know who you are!  Here’s a “little” hint just in case you haven’t gotten that email from me yet.  Critter… what do you consider a critter?

Hope you enjoy these wonderful drawings from my Grand-daughter Michaela. She’s an artist in the making!

Back soon,

Anne

The Yellow House

Filed under: Inspirations, Quilt Design — Tags: , , , , , — Anne @ 11:45 pm

 This was one of those houses that just made me swoon.  If you visit the Cotswolds in England, and you drive the country roads you might find it.  It has to be one of a kind and the story of the house will remain a mystery.  I’m not sure I could find it again;  too many country roads going in too many directions.   I wanted so much to know the history.  Who lives here  and how many families have lived here before them?  How old is the house?  Has it always been the palest of yellows?  What stories can it tell, this beauty of a house!

I spent Saturday with this house, but only in the studio.  I drew it for applique only to find out I couldn’t capture it’s beauty in fabric!  I tried for a full day, but the house remains elusive.  A house this grand must want to remain in the Cotswolds.   I love every  detail of this house, so maybe I’ll try again someday when I have the palest of yellow fabrics.

Of course all of this leads to another clue. 

Here’s the clues so far, with the new one in red:

1.  Christmas with some pieced blocks

2.  A little bit of snow

3.  A tiny bit of pink in the quilt, 5″ x 5″ or smaller. 

4.  The fabric I’m using is” Le Petie Ecole” from Kaari, the French General! 

5.  I said in an earlier post that there’s a critter in the quilt that I like to draw almost as much as a bunny!

6.  There’s a house in the quilt, and its set on snow.

 I do have some good guessers.   You know who you are! 

Have a great Monday everyone!
