Fabric + Embroidery = Love

Normally designs are hush, hush…can’t share them with you before the next quilt market. But Chelsea Manor is shipping to local quilt shops February 28th, and we’ve been working on new patterns to go with the line!

Just look at these embroidered blocks and how they look with my new fabric! “Rabbits Prefer Embroidery”, my newest pattern, will be released around the same time Chelsea Manor ships.

Red and cream and loved all over! These bunnies just make me smile. I even have a bunny on a scooter! Reminds me of my grand-daughters on the way to school.

Do you love embroidery like I do? Then go to your local quilt shop and be sure they ordered the fabric! Ask for both the red and brown color ways so you can buy it all in one place! “Chelsea Manor” from Henry Glass Fabrics and Bunny Hill Designs.

The Bunny Hill girls have all been busy making embroidered blocks and we’ll have more to show very soon. I can’t wait to show you what I’m doing with the brown color way!

In the next week or two I’ll be giving away a fat quarter of the entire collection. Be sure and check back! You may be the first to own Chelsea Manor!

I’ll be giving you some embroidery tips in the next few posts so you can pratice along with me. You’ll be ready for this fabric as soon as it arrives!

Oh, and my friend Anne has posted a tutorial on how to applique with wool. She has some great tips to share! She’s making the wool version of “A Tisket, A Tasket”.

Be back soon with thread in hand,

Hugs,

Trouble In The Studio!

Trouble again…

    She did it. Brittney has been a “bad girl” and I had to tell her she couldn’t pick the winner. She’s been hoarding all the comments and making fun of “Bunny”. And then to make it worse she hid some of my pictures…completely moved them to where she thought they should be.

      I’ve moved on to other methods for this drawing. I had Ross (DH) cut up all your comments and put them into my favorite basket. But then he said, “it’s not fair to the people in the bottom of the basket”. So off I went to find another container…So if Brittney can’t pick the winner who can?

      Not Miss Chelsea for sure. She’s a bit of a bad girl too. She’s been binge eating Kitten Chow and now she’s banned from the cat bowls. She can hardly bend over to pick the winner. The vet is going to kill me. Chelsea needs those toenails cut and I’m going to make Ross take her in. That way the vet will yell at him and not me.

      So from now on it’s a strict diet of veggies and NO dip…

      Miss Mooch has been binge eating Kitten Chow too. No more for her, I threw out the bag. Don’t care how much she begs, it’s Science Diet or nothing. She really can’t bend over. She’s gained five pounds since we brought home this starved, skinny cat.


      She thinks shes on a diet of the finest shimp tee hee!

      So you can tell, from the tone of my writing, that there are some strict rules going to be applied at the Bunny Hill studio. Brittney, Miss Mooch and Chelsea are on the list. It’s embarrassing because EVERYONE comments on how heavy they are (well not Brittney, but the other two for sure).

      So, who’s left to pick the winner? Well just look at this sweet little Bitsy. She may be old, but doesn’t binge (unless it comes to sweets). She’s slim and trim and she makes me proud. So, Bitsy will you please pick from the bowl?

      Bitsy?

      Oh no, she’s letting Chelsea in!

      Yep, there she is, she’s in the bowl…

      Head goes in…


      And Chelsea comes out with a winner. XXXOOO to Bitsy for being so sweet and letting Chelsea pick the winner…

      It’s Doreen B, from Monday January 26th who said:
      Beautiful fabric and congrats with “Brittney” Please enter me into your draw – Love the fabric and that neat pattern.

      Doreen send me an email with your address and we’ll send your prize right off…

      Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you who visited my blog and to each and everyone of you who left a comment.

      If you’d like to buy some of the angel fabric you can find it at http://www.thimblecreek.com/ and in a few days I’ll have bundles on my web site.

      Check back tomorrow and I’ll show you what we’ve been working on! It’s red and cream and has lots of embroidery!

      Hugs,

      She’s Arrived, Yes She Has!

      I spent the weekend with my new computer. I’ve named her Brittney and believe me she’s earned that name. No pushing this one around. She settled in the studio and then it all began. I could tell from the start she was going to be trouble. No talking to the other computer, no mam, not her. She’s a bad girl!

      I thought I might have to send her back. A trouble maker I can’t have, so I called in the tech squad (my son). It took all weekend but she’s finally calmed down. Now we have a Brittney (aka Vista) and Bunny (aka XP), both with pink desktops and a pink mouse. Seems to have helped. At least they’re talking!

      If she continues to be good, I’ll have her select the winner of my give away! That’s right, on Thursday morning I’ll be giving away a bundle of my “Angel House” fabric, along with my pattern “Postcard Cuties for Angels. A random number drawing by Ms. Brittney (I hope)!

      One lucky winner will find this package on their door step very soon! You know what to do. Leave a comment and you’ll be entered. See you Thursday morning!

      Hugs,

      We’ve Been Busy!

      We’ve been busy in the Bunny Hill Studio. Really Busy! My bunny helpers, Nancy and Robin, have been helping me cut up 19 bolts of “Angel House” fabric, and right now we have stacks and stacks sitting all over the studio. Glad you’re not coming to visit! I’d have some serious picking up to do.

      And why are we cutting up all this fabric? We’re putting together bundles for the Bunny Hill web site. Finally! It’s definitely more fun to cut fabric with friends. We watched the Inauguration and cut fabric at the same time!

      We did have a few who were not happy we were so busy….

      My grand-daughter’s are waiting for me to make cookies with them. You can see they have high expectations. They put a sticky note on all the pages they want to try. I think there might be 25 sticky notes in this recipe book. They’ll be happy when the bundles are done and they can get me back into the kitchen.

      And Chelsea…what can I say. She’s not getting any attention. She’d like us to finish up really soon. I promised her by Friday.

      …So that means in a few days I should be able give away a bundle of some Angel Fabric!

      Hugs all!
