Who Put The Chicken in the Tree?

I live in an area filled with cherry, apricot, orange, fig, peach, apple, persimmon, and chicken trees.  Wait!  What did I just say?  Chicken trees?

Yes, chicken trees!  Brigette’s friends, Dan & Teresa were wondering what was happening to their persimmons.  Now they know!  These are their chickens in their persimmon tree! Photo courtesy of Dan & Teresa!

If I ever design a quilt with chickens in a tree you’ll know where I got the inspiration!

Counting down to 2011 with a smile!

Did you get what you wanted for Christmas?

Did you get what you wanted for Christmas?  Mooch did!  She got a pink catnip mouse and became a wild beast on Christmas Eve.  It took her less than 1/2 hour to tear off the tail and pull out the stuffing.  Catnip all over the floor and, after she was done rolling in it, all over the house!

If you judge a good Christmas by the amount of laughter in the house, this year was a great one! My granddaughters and I made red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting for Christmas Eve dessert.  I think there was more frosting on them than the cupcakes, but a lot of laughing and fun went on in the kitchen.  They were yummy!

And now we’re down to the last week of 2010!   Many of you are finishing up quilts and some of you  have sent me photos!  I love seeing what you’ve done.  Several weeks ago Brigette showed me a quilt on Moda Bake Shop designed by Stephanie Roman.  When I saw the design I fell it love with it and when I realized it was designed by Stephanie I loved it even more!  Not only is Stephanie sweet, she’s so talented!

Then one of my blog readers, Deborah Pruden, sent me a photo of a quilt she made using my fabric from Lily & Will.  She used Stephanie’s pattern! Isn’t it a small world? Don’t you love her quilt?

And Snowbound quilts are getting finished!  All the way from Italy comes this beautiful version from Agatha!

And just look at these other photos she sent!  You’ll know the one that captured my heart when you see it…

Thanks for sharing Deborah and Agatha!  I love the quilts.

FYI,  I’ve just added some patterns that are being discontinued at 50% off to my web site.  If you see a pattern that you’ve been thinking about buying now is the time!  3 pages of patterns at 50% off.

And have you seen the Lily & Will II advance precuts I’ve added to my web site?  I have a very LIMITED number, but if you love the yellow or aqua you can buy it now before it ships to the stores.  You’ll find some Lily & Will II under “what’s new“!

Happy last Monday in 2010 everyone!

Anne

Merry Christmas!


Wishing You A Very…


Oh Those Bunny Hill Pets

Oh what I do to my pets.  Life in the studio is fun every day thanks to them!

Chelsea will do or try just about anything…

She’ll even stand on the dreaded scale… no treats when she’s on this!

Or sit in a bassinet!

She picks many of the winners on my blog posts.  She willing does this over…

and over….

and over!


Bitsy will dress for special occasions.  She’s not crazy about it, but she’ll do it if it’s her birthday…

…and I promise a little treat.

Bitsy has that famous button on her back that I love so much!

She’s so, so sweet!

And Mooch arrived in my life starving and very skinny.

But as time passed…


She grew and grew…

Chelsea helped fatten her up by showing her all the tricks…

Hummm…thanks Chelsea!

And now the three of them are inseparable.   They are always together.  Always!

Mooch is waiting for Santa to arrive!

While the children Bitsy is tucked all snug in her bed!

It’s almost Christmas and they know it!

Pretty smart don’t you think?

Hugs,

Anne
