We’ve Been Making Bundles!

August 21, 2011 By Anne 17 Comments

We’ve spent the week making little fabric bundles of Lily & Will. I’m getting ready for new fabric to arrive and some just has to go because I’m running out of room! Perfect little stash builders…can I tempt you?

Oh my these are hard to part with! Something about a “bundle” that makes me so happy! You’ll find these little bundles here on my website. I’ve got a basket filled with these just waiting to leave the studio!

I’ve also put some quilts on my website to sell…something I’ve never done before. NO, they’re not my applique block of the months… I’m saving those for I’d be in trouble with my family! These are sample quilts from some of my Bunny Hill Patterns. They are in perfect condition and need new homes. I’ve only listed a few so far but I’ll be adding more as time permits. Be sure and check back because my closet is bulging with quilts and samples! You can pick these up for about the price of quilting. Good for you and good for me.

And once the bundles all leave I’m left with stacks of “Puttin on the Ritz”…

Dang, can’t part with it yet…sorry, but it’s coming soon to a quilt store near you!

Hugs,

Anne

Primitive? Me?

August 16, 2011 By Anne 21 Comments

I just received my second issue of Primitive Quilts. Have you seen this new magazine yet? It’s put together by a group of really creative ladies and I do mean creative. It’s so well done I find that I’m enjoying the magazine a lot. I signed up for a 2 year subscription!

If you border between “Prim” and traditional style you’ll enjoy this new magazine. To tell the truth I think there’s room for a bit of prim in a shabby chic home.

The last few quilt markets I’ve found myself in the booths selling wool and Valdani Pearl Cotton. I’ve always been a fan of wool and well that Valdani, what can I say but yummy?

You just might find a few wool patterns coming up at Bunny Hill. Shabby and prim…a new concept? I don’t think so…look at this rug from Garnet Hill that I’ve fallen in love with…

It ties the whole look together. Perfect for a shabby home and perfect for a prim home. Best of both worlds! Ha, you didn’t know I had it in me did you?

Hugs from,

The Shabby Primitive Bunny :>)

A Christmas Without Bears?

November 28, 2010 By Anne 389 Comments

I spent the weekend decorating for Christmas like many of you. My husband drug out all the boxes, stacked them in the center of the garage and asked “are you doing the bears this year?” ” Think I’ll skip a year” I said. “Maybe they’re getting a bit old, year after year.”

And then tonight I found these pictures…

“So you’re done now, right? I can put all these boxes away?” “Yes, all finished!”, I said. But that was before I found the photos.

I don’t have the heart to tell him my little friends can’t sit outside in plastic bins. I don’t know where I’ll put them now that all the decorations are up, but they have to come in and be part of our holiday tradition. Call me sentimental. He’s put away all the boxes so I think I’ll just link him to this blog post. Who can resist these bears?

While I’m working on finding a place for my bears, I found another picture for you! Would you like to win a few of these tiny little bundles? Packages of 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ squares of Lily & Will II!

Leave me a comment and 12 of you are going to win 3 little bundles each of yellow and aqua Lily & Will II! Oh the fun you can have with these little squares! I’ll announce the 12 winners Friday December 3rd!

Have a great week everyone!

Hugs,

Anne

Shopping!

November 17, 2010 By Anne 10 Comments

I’ve been busy loading the web site with all kinds of new things! Lily & Will have arrived and we have Moda boxes all over the studio! Brigette’s in charge of making kits and she’s having way too much fun with all the fabric! She’ll be cutting away and I’ll hear her say “oh my, I may have to get myself some of this”. She’s talking about owning every piece of fabric that comes through the door and I’m in charge of keeping her sane. It’s kind of like being a kid in a candy shop.

Brigette’s been busy making all these Park Lane quilt kits that are waiting to be shipped. Today she decided she wants to make a Park Lane quilt queen size! I’m sure she’s thinking I’ll just whip out those measurements for her! I’m not too worried. She’s got too way too much cutting to do to ever get around to sewing! She’s also making kits for some of my other Lily & Will patterns. You can find them all under Bunny Hill Kits on my web site.

I found this darling POLKA DOT ribbon in the Renaissance Ribbon booth at Quilt Market. I just couldn’t resist these dots. You can find them in the trim section on my web site. It’s reversible! Wouldn’t it be cute on a stuffed teddy bear, or as a trim for a holiday dress?

And satin ruffle trim, we finally have that too! Seems like forever since I first started talking about this trim. It’s wonderful Moda quality and you can use it in so many ways. I trimmed The Delaney Bag tote with a tiny bit of this ruffle.

See what it can do for a simple tote bag?

Moda’s just shipped some new colors of basic dots. I’ve added my favorite new colors to the web site because once again I can’t resist dots. I love them and I hope you will too! These are great stash builders!

I just added the pre-quilted Lily & Will ivory fabric to the web site also. This is one fabric that I hope to carry all the time. It’s wonderful for embroidery and stitching! I promise you will love it! It’s just lightweight enough that you can see the embroidery pattern if you put it over a light box. I’ll be doing much more with this fabric in the future and you’ll be seeing it again at spring market! If you plan on using the pre-quilted fabric for making blankies be sure and pre-wash it. It shrinks a bit. One washing and a light press will do it!

We have a few of these bundles of “La Petite Ecole” if you’re interested in getting a jump start on the applique prep for ” The Night Before Christmas”. These are fat eights (9″ x 22″). Just enough fabrics to get you started on the applique. If you use the spray starch method of applique you can have almost all of it prepped and ready to go by the time this fabric ships! We have a limited supply of these packages, so order now if you’d like one.

We’re now offering the DMC Machine Embroidery thread by the individual spool. This is the thread I use for applique. If you’ve purchased one of our collections and need to replace a color or two, you can buy it on my web site! We’ll be adding more colors in the future just in case you can’t find this thread at your local quilt shop.

And finally, after much searching, I’ve found the best stuffing tool ever! I love these stuffing forks. If you plan on making any kind of Bunny Hill Petite patterns or any stuffed animals, this tool will simplify your life. I’ll be keeping these in stock, that’s how great they are, and HARD to find.

And last but NOT least, did you know we have these Lily & Will diaper bags from Moda! Designed by me, and manufactured by Moda, you will love them! Pockets galore, baby changing pad, and lift up the lid and you’ll find an embroidered bunny! I’ve only ordered a few so if you think you’d like one be sure and buy it now!
