Sewing with friends

June 23, 2012 By

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!

Robin and I decided to make the felt Llamas from issue #12.

We added rings to the top so they could be attached to a purse or backpack.

Kim made the little elephant brooch.

We had such a fun day.  If you own any issues of Mollie Makes, take some time to make one of the projects. You’ll be glad you did!

A girl named Mollie Makes it big!

June 19, 2012 By

Say hello to Mollie, from Mollie Makes Magazine!

She’s famous now that she has her own magazine,  Mollie Makes.  She made it to the top almost overnight because of readers like you who love to craft.  Mollie Makes magazine has a little something for everyone as you’ll see this weekend if you join Bunny Hill on Facebook or right here on this blog.

Who knew Mollie Makes magazine would be so “hot” in the magazine world?  Try and find that very first issue and you’ll see what “hot” really means.  It’s almost impossible to find one, even on eBay.  If you do find it, you’ll definitely have to hand over some $$.

Well guess what?  I’m giving away a copy of the very first issue of Mollie Makes on FACEBOOK this weekend!  One of you is going to win Issue #1 for your very own.  Here’s what you need to do to be entered to win…

  • Find something you want to make from one of the Mollie Makes issues. It can be anything you’ve wanted to make but never had the time.
  • Get together a group of friends for a party or lock yourself in your craft room and make the project you picked sometime over the weekend of June 22, 23 or 24.
  • Post a photo of it on our Bunny Hill Facebook page or email us (info@bunnyhilldesigns.com) a photo that we can post.

That’s it!  How easy and fun is that?  Just sew along with us this weekend and show us what you’ve made from Mollie Makes!  We’ll pick a winner on Monday morning.

If you already own the coveted first issue you can choose a second prize…a fat quarter bundle of Windsor Lane from Bunny Hill and Moda Fabrics.

 Here’s another surprise!  I’ve lowered the price of all the Mollie Makes magazines on our website to $10 per issue.   Each and every Mollie Makes we have for $10.00!  That includes the newest issue #15 that we just got in!

 If you happen to be on our Auto Ship list you’ll be getting this and future issues for $9.00 plus shipping!

 

Hurry and get out those Mollie Makes issues you’ve purchased.  It’s time to come up with something to make!

I’ll show you my project soon.

Hugs,

Anne

Mollie Makes, Jeanne d’ Arc and Redwork Kits

April 25, 2012 By

Right in the middle of all the crazy sewing going on in the studio, Mollie Makes issue #13 and Jeanne d’ Arc Living May arrived! There’s always some excitement when that happens but when they both arrive on the same day it’s really hard to get any  work done.

Mollie Makes…

Just look at buttons on the cover of Mollie Makes!  Little red rose buttons that will be the perfect accent for a sewing project.  I don’t know how they think of what to include for cover projects but I sure do love them!

And the little pooches on the cover are so cute. Have any of you tried needlefelting?  I’ve always been a bit intimidated by those barbed needles but I’d forget about barbs for one of those little dogs.

Or, how about crochet and embroidery?  Just look at this granny square pillow made from scraps of yarn!  SCRAPS!  I had no idea I should be saving yarn scraps.  Directions are inside the magazine.

And little Japanese Embroidery patterns too!  Thank you Mollie Makes for another great issue!

Jeanne d’Arc Living May

Then sit back and relax while you skim the pages of  Jeanne d’Arc Living for the elegant side of life.  I’m always inspired by the decorating and gardening ideas and the May issue is delightful.  144 pages of beautiful articles and photos and NO advertising.  How on earth do they do it?

Redwork Raining Cats and Dogs Kit…

And last but not least we finally have a kit for Redwork Raining Cats and Dogs.  I’ve been waiting and waiting for fabric bundles to arrive.  This fabric is sold out at Moda but somehow they came to my rescue.  The bundles arrived this week and we’ve got  kits!  The kit includes everything you need to make the quilt except backing and floss.

Even the pattern is included, but if you have it already let us know and we’ll deduct it from the cost.

You’ll find Mollie, Jeanne and Redwork on my website.

It’s back to work.  Market it just around the corner and we’re still sewing away.  Can’t wait to show you what we’re sewing on!

Finishing up 2011

December 30, 2011 By

Redwork Raining Cats & Dogs

This week we finally finished the new Redwork Raining Cats and Dogs pattern.   What a great end to 2011.   Say hello to redwork in 2012!

  Just look at the fabulous quilting!

 

 Have you ever wondered how to quilt a redwork quilt?

 You quilt right through the embroidery!  Most of the stitching will sink into the quilt and you’ll never see it.

  You’ll find this pattern available now on my website but you might want to wait until January 5th if you’re thinking about buying it because…

A sale is coming!

And you get advance notice because you read my blog!   Starting January 5th everything on my website, except the Pumpkin Pie quilt kits, will be on sale for 25% off if you have the coupon code.  You’ll find this code in my newsletter that comes out on the 5th so make sure you’ve signed up (you’ll find the signup link under the slide show here on my website).  Make a list of what you want now so you’ll be sure to get it.  25% off only happens twice a year at Bunny Hill!

Henrietta’s Getting Ready To Hibernate!

And remember to print and save the Henrietta Whiskers patterns by December 31st.  Henrietta’s going into hibernation on New Year’s Day and she’ll no longer be offered as a free pattern.  She’ll be back on the website soon as a full pattern for purchase.

Have a wonderful New Year everyone!

I’ll see you in 2012  :>) and I can’t wait!

 Hugs,

Anne
