Ooh La La!

October 24, 2011 / 25 Comments

This fall Bunny Hill has gone to Paris!  Well, not really but some of my newest fabric line, Ooh La La was inspired by my trip to Paris last year.  Ooh La La was designed to coordinate with Puttin’ on the Ritz so if you start with one line you can easily carry over into the next.  This time I’ve added French words, silver spoons (has to be my favorite print ever), a panel with little french houses, silver cups and spoons.  There’s a toile for baby and of course another damask.  The damask is from an 1800’s piece of wallpaper.  I’m amazed that vintage treasures like these are still around!  It gives me a nostalgic feeling and makes me humble just to be able to reproduce such a piece.

Ooh La La! 

Here’s the silver spoon print that I doodled…

It’s a tiny print and I’ve thought up something special that we can do together using this print…

of course we’ll have to wait until yardage arrives but it won’t be too long…

Just look at the spoons in pink!    Yes, they also come in blue…

Here’s the baby toile designed from more of my scribbles and doodles…it also comes in gray, pink and blue!

And do you like French words?  I love the French language, just can’t help myself!  I’ve even tucked in the silver spoons among the words…

I’ve designed 2 new special baby quilts using  Ooh La La…the type of quilts that can be handed down from generation to generation.

Sugar and Spice for little girls…

…and Play Days for little boys…

My grandson Kyle Sutton drew the little robots that you see in this quilt!  Aren’t they cute?

And I can’t forget Henrietta…she’s made from the gingham check in Ooh La La…

 Kim is making up a bunch of Henrietta for us to sell at Sample Spree, but see that pink gingham check one in the photo below? She’s going to be very hard to give up.  These are all coming to Houston with us (and so is Kim!).

   

Are you still waiting on Mollie Makes?

If you’ve ordered Mollie Makes and you think I’m never sending your magazine, I have good news.  I’ve been told that the magazines should be arriving this week in the US.  I leave for market on Wednesday, so if I can’t get them in the mail before I leave we’ll start shipping as soon as I return next week.  Because you’ve waited so long I’m including a little treat for you.

Also on my agenda right after market are the quilt blocks for Jeaneane.  I’ll be showing a few blocks and I’ll be drawing a winner for the prize… Someone’s going to be very lucky because the number of entries are low so your chances of winning are good.

New patterns are on the website now.  Take a peak!   I’ll be back soon to show you the Pumpkin Pie quilt and some of the wool applique.  Something new I’ve added to my website…fabric guides.  You’ll find free fabric guides for Merry, Merry Snowmen and Pumpkin Pie on my “Free Pattern” page on my website!

Back soon!

Anne

    SO ADORABLE! The Baby Toile and Spoons fabrics are so cute. I babysit a little 7 month old twice a week and can’t wait to be able to purchase yardage to make her some summer dresses. Your fabric creations are the “Bunny’s PJs” (as in cats pajamas)–kudos to your creativity!

    Ooh, ooh, ooh la la! Yup those silver spoons just send me over the edge!!! But that new toile has got to be the sweetest toile I’ve ever laid my eyes on. For sure I’ll be making “Sugar and Spice” for my newest granddaughter. I’ve made several of your applique patterns and consider them all the be “heirlooms” for my children to pass down to their children and hopefully so on and so on and so on.
    Don’t worry about Mollie Makes you’ll get to it when you can.. We’ll all be so busy reading Market updates that we wouldn’t have time to read right now anyway!
    Have a very safe and wonderful trip to market
