A Jelly Roll Bikini

March 18, 2013 By Anne

Did you know that March is National Craft Month? Yep, it’s a month to stay home from work and join us on a island retreat over at Moda. If I’m going to be on an an island for a month, I told Chelsea she could come along too. She got all excited when I let her try on a jelly roll strip for her Bikini top. I swear it almost didn’t fit!

Now she’s waiting for me to make her a bikini bottom to wear on the island. She wants to look good if everyone is going, so I’ll have to take my “bodkin” on the retreat to pull the elastic through the legs of her bikini bottom. How many jelly roll strips will it take to make her a bikini bottom? Humm, maybe I should take along an extra jelly roll.

This dog is getting a such big head! Word is out that she’s going to be in the next Moda catalog. Next thing you know we’ll be saying “designed by Chelsea Sutton”.

Check out the Moda blog and learn about all the notions everyone loves. You just might find something you must have!

January 5, 2013 By Anne

There’s nothing like a SALE to start the New Year off. Just in case you didn’t get my newsletter this morning, Bunny Hill is having a sale! Everything on our website is 25% off from January 5th through January 9th! I apologize in advance if you place an order and don’t get a receipt attached with your confirmation. You will, I promise, get a receipt and 25% off when we ship your order.

I put away the Christmas decorations and decided things looked a little bleak around here so I made a batch of Valentine hearts. One thing lead to another and soon I had a FREE heart pattern AND fabric kits with ribbon and buttons for the hearts, just in case you want to make some too!

Valentine Heart Pattern

Make a batch of hearts, stuff them lightly, and decorate to your “heart’s” desire. Fill a vase or a wood bowl with hearts and you’ll have a centerpiece you can use every year.

Here’s a link to the kit and remember it’s 25% off through January 9th.

Coming soon…Kim and Nancy have been re-making “Postcard Cuties for Winter”…I’ll give you some peaks this week! It’s so cute in its new fabric!

Have a great weekend!

Hugs,

Anne

Sewing with friends

June 23, 2012 By Anne

When you start the day with flowers and friends it just doesn’t get any better……unless you add sewing to the mix! Friday was Mollie Makes day at Bunny Hill and we spent the day sewing with friends!

My friend Chickie brought show and tell; beautiful Scrappy Plate blocks as only Chickie can do. She’s appliqued them on linen and when she’s finished the applique she’ll add a crochet flower and covered button to the center of each block. I can’t wait to see her finished quilt!

Chickie’s project for the day was the fabric clutch featured in Mollie Makes Issue #14.

Here’s the fabric she used for the clutch…

…and the almost finished clutch!

She has to wait for the hardware she ordered from here to arrive in the mail before she can finish her clutch. All she has to do is glue on the clutch handle, add the chain and her clutch is finished.

My friend Nireko made these adorable embroidered macaroon needle cases. She bought the needle kits when she was in Japan. When she saw the embroidery in issue #7 she knew it would be perfect for the cases!
