Stocking treats block eleven
Block eleven was designed by our third place winner from the Bunny Hill/ Moda design contest, Lori Weigel! This cute little snowman, reaching for a Christmas ornament, won her third place. And of course, her win gave all of us a chance to make this adorable block!

cottontail cottage part 3
Cottontail Cottage, Part Three There are so many fun fabrics in Cottontail Cottage, and these tiny checks are just a few of them. They come in six colors and are printed on the bias, making those quilt bindings simple to cut. You’ll get that bias look without the excess yardage. We’ll be making fat quarter and half-yard bundles of these checks as soon as the fabric arrives in January. Or, maybe you’d prefer a combination of florals and checks. The Cottontail Cottage floral is one of my favorite fabrics in the line. Just look at it next to the checks! I can picture my grand-daughters Lily & Maya wearing dresses made…

Birds and berries go together and for block nine we’ve included both…a combination of our Christmas bird and Christmas berries! Block Nine Here’s block nine in our Sugar Plum Christmas fabric! Look how close we are getting to the end of this quilt! After today, we only have 3 more blocks to go! I can’t believe we’ve come this far. Don’t worry if you haven’t kept up. There’s still plenty of time to finish and if you can’t finish this year, put it on your schedule for next year. I’ll be back next week with block number ten. Hugs, Anne
