Brigette is my secret inspiration at Bunny Hill. She’s my trunk show president, and so much more. She’s a continuous source of happiness and fun, and yesterday she was also the terrarium goddess. Really. She knows her terrariums. We spent half a day planting this beautiful miniature garden for my living room.

Here’s a close-up of the tiny little plants; miniature violets, begonias, a beautiful button fern, just to name a few. Can you see Peter Rabbit? It’s so much fun to look at this little garden!

This beautiful terrarium came from Smith & Hawkin should you want one for yourself. And this weekend you can get 30% off one item! The miniature violets and begonias came from The Violet Barn.

When we were done, hands cleaned and nails scrubbed it was up to the studio for more inspiration. This wonderful basket of fabric arrived here on Thursday. It’s Stone Cottage from Renee Nanneman. I love this fabric and it’s just what I needed for the quilt I’m working on right now!

Brigette and I brain-stormed together and she was more help than she’ll ever know! She always is!

Here’s another little secret. Brigette, also known as “I’ll never get my name on a pattern” Brigette, will soon be listed on the back of a Bunny Hill pattern…you’ll have to look for it! Inspired by Brigette Mason, is at the quilter’s right now and coming soon!

Green, today is  a green day!  What can I put on my blog that is green?  Everything around here is pink.  Then Chelsea had an idea for me.  She said “why not use that picture you took of me with the green polka dot Chihuahua?”  She really likes the way she looks in that photo. I guess  3 lbs overweight doesn’t bother her at all.  “What a great idea!” I said, you get a treat!

So, Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Bunny Hill!

Bisty wanted to make an appearance today too.    She’s a toy fox terrier, and I couldn’t find any green polka dot terriers so it’s just her saying “Hi”.  She’s pretty sure she’s part Irish.  She likes Corned Beef so that makes her Irish right?

See those wonderful ears?  Well, we just discovered she has become almost totally deaf.  I have to speak very, very loud for her to hear.  I sound a bit crazy working away in my studio and talking really loud to Bitsy.  I guess at the age of 13 it can’t be helped.  At least she doesn’t need glasses. 

Hope your St. Patty’s Day is great!  Make sure to eat some cabbage for good luck! 

If you’ve been following me on Twitter you’d know the answer to that question! What’s Twitter? It’s like a short little blog, with just a few sentences. I’m blaming Kimberly at The Fat Quarter Shop for getting us into this! It took me almost a day to figure it all out. But, if Kimberly says Twitter we should Twitter! LOL!

If you’d been following me on Twitter you’d know I was working on this table runner yesterday. I’m using the Howard Marcus line called Legacy from Moda Fabrics and I’m in love! This fabric is beyond pretty! Now all I need is some border fabric to finish this off. I’ll be emailing Moda Lissa soon!

If you’d been following me on Twitter you’d know that I was going to do this post today! Amazing thing that Twitter, but I promise you I will not get a Twitter brain. Don’t worry I don’t have Twitteritis my little twittersweets! Hope this isn’t catching!

Here’s a little tip for the Tisket A Tasket block of the month…

My finished layout uses Moda fabric. If you want to use what I’ve selected I’ll give you the sku’s and amounts as they become available in the shops so you don’t miss out. I’ll have some of the fabric, but not all. It’s limited in supply so be sure and get it now.

Here’s the yardage amounts you’ll need:

Sashing: 1/2 yard

Sashing posts: 1/4 yd or 1 fat quarter

Inner Border: 1/4 yd

Outer Border: 3/4 yd

Binding: 3/4 yd bias, or 1/2 yd non bias

Here’s what’s in the stores right now:

Sashing Posts

Beach House Dried Lavender Seaweed Gems

Sku# 2631-13

Inner Border & Bias Binding

I used the same fabric for both = 1 yard

Beach House Faded Blooms Old Feather Pillow Ticking

SKU # 2636 – 12

Disclaimer: I’m waiting on the final yardage to come from Moda. I don’t have enough yardage to put the entire quilt together. I’m only looking at a few rows, so just in case I put it together and go “what was I thinking?” and all of you bought yardage you can’t hold me responsible. OK?

Thank you all for the wonderful, sweet comments you left in my last post! I am just so lucky to have you as readers!

Hugs,

Anne
