Pumpkin Hill
October is the month for squirrels and pumpkins, and Bunny Hill is filled with them. From Squirrelly Girl to my newest Martingale book, Pumpkin Hill, the squirrel overload is real! Pumpkin Hill, my first book with Martingale Publishing, is available at quilt shops and book stores now. With running squirrels, a pumpkin coach, acorns, and all things fall, Pumpkin Hill is a whimsical quilt to enjoy every season. The design is timeless, and the fabrics are easy to replicate. Martingale has created a book that’s as cute as the quilt. Page after page is filled with colorful photos and delightful artwork. The pattern page is a pull-out with full-size drawings.…

more new patterns
It’s show-and-tell for Squirrelly Girl. She’s excited to show you some of her squirrelly friends! We’ve got four more patterns coming soon. Sugar Squirrels If I had to pick a fat quarter quilt to love, it would be this one. I’m calling this Sugar Squirrels, and I’ve adapted it from my Sugar Bunnies quilt pattern. If you love Autumn quilts, add this one to your list. You can make the bias vines quickly with a 1/4″ bias maker, the applique is simple, and the star blocks are easy to piece. Need I say more? Acorn Soup I love charm pack quilts and I designed Acorn Soup to use a…

Squirrelly Girl is coming soon!
While we’re hibernating in our homes, Squirrelly Girl has been out visiting everyone she can! Our Moda reps may not be able to bring her to quilt shops in person, but they are doing their best to make sure everyone meets her. She’s coming your way in August. Over the next few posts, I’ll be introducing you to her. She’s been featured both in fabric and in my newest applique quilt! I really hope it doesn’t go to her head (she’s a feisty one)! We’ll be taking pre-orders for this Moda quilt kit in April, but please call your local quilt shop to ask if…

Let’s Make 101 Maple Street!
I was visiting Lori Holt’s blog and saw how she walks you through each of her quilt blocks. It really seems helpful and I’m not sure why I never thought of doing this myself. I’ve put it in my memory banks for my next block of the month. Right now I’m waiting on fabric to arrive for my next market line and I have some down time in-between projects. I thought I’d give you some tips and pointers on 101 Maple Street. If you’re making 101 Maple Street as a block of the month from a quilt shop, your life is going to be easy! Each month the shop will hand you the fabrics you…

Some fun wool applique
I love wool applique, and I love Lisa from Primitive Gatherings even more! When she offered to put together a collection of wool for my 101 Maple Street fabric line, I said yes, yes, yes! Just look at this yummy wool! Have you ever seen such a perfectly co-ordinated bundle? This bundle inspired my newest petite pattern called “Woolums.” I normally glue-baste my wool applique in place, but this time I tried Lisa’s method of using fusible web, and I just loved it! The pattern has been written for the fusible web method, and the drawings have been reversed for you. I blanket stitched these little gems using two strands…
