Snowmen Warm Your Heart

I can never get enough snowmen.  There’s just something about the little guys that makes me happy!

When I was at Fall market last October I saw Lisa’s Snowman Gatherings fabric and I had to have it. Now, a few months later, we’ve turned it into a new version of Postcard Cuties for Winter! We made the snowmen from wool and used a jelly roll, charm pack and a bit of yardage for the remainder of the quilt.

 

Postcard Cuties for Winter

I’m busy updating the pattern and the new version should be ready in a few weeks.  The fabric doesn’t ship until April so you’ll have to wait a bit.  We hope to have kits for this super cute quilt and I’ll keep you updated.

Reading on my iPad…

Have to share the most current book I’m reading…it’s quite by accident that I found it.  I saw it on a bestseller list and downloaded a sample to my iPad.  I really had no interest in a story about Charles Lindberg, but the author, Melanie Benjamin, caught my interest right away.  It’s really about Anne Morrow Lindberg and told from her point of view.

The Aviator's Wife
A nice change from my usual murder mysteries, The Aviator’s Wife is a good read.

Here’s another tip!

Watch for the April Issue of American Patchwork & Quilting…

…because our very own Moda Lissa has a quilt on the cover!  Dang she is talented!  Just look at this beauty.

Cover Girl

This is her second cover issue!  Everyone I know wanted to make her quilt when it graced the cover in October 2010…
APQ October 2010
…and now this new quilt!  Hard to choose isn’t it?   Congratulations to Lissa!
Hugs,

Wool in the studio

Bunny Hill Wool

I’ve been so wrapped up in wool I’m in heaven!  I feel like I’m playing with paper dolls and it’s so much fun.  It just doesn’t get any better than this…unless you box up some Valdani Pearl Cotton to go with it!

 

Valdani & Bunny Hill Wool

These are the new Bunny Hill Pastel wools from Moda Fabrics and they’re in my studio right now!  I’m working on lots of new patterns to go with these yummy colors and I can’t wait to show you!   Ok, maybe one little sneak peek…

Bunny Hill Wool Project

Kim and I have been stitching  up a storm.  Kim’s only been stitching for a year and look at those stitches!  She’s a natural :>)

Stitching on wool with Valdani Pearl Cotton is so much fun!

Coming to a shop near you in May of this year, Bunny Hill Pastel Wool from Moda!

Hugs,

Chloe, The Autograph Dog

Remember the days of the autograph dog?  Wasn’t it fun collecting autographs?  Meet Chloe, a new pattern from Bunny Hill! She’s here to make sure you don’t miss out on the autograph fun.  She’s simple to make, with plenty of room to hold all those signatures!

…Chloe’s been collecting autographs at Quilt Market…

and when I get back one of you will be her new owner.

Her pattern will be available November 5th.

Hugs,

Anne

This Little Pig Went To Market

This little pig went to market…Quilt Market of course. Her name is Tiffany and she’ll be boarding the plane for Houston this morning. I hope she got a bit more sleep than I did.  I can’t have a cranky pig at market.  :>)

With a curled up tail and a bow around her tummy, she’s ready to meet and greet and she’ll be doing lots of that this weekend.  Tiffany is my newest Petite pattern.

My granddaughter Alyssa is the hand model for Tiffany.  Didn’t she do a great job?

Hope Miss Tiffany has a smooth flight.  We’ll have a few of her friends for sale at Sample Spree during market. The Tiffany pattern will be for sale on our website November 5th. so you can make your own!

Wish you were coming with me to Quilt Market…
