Pets of Bunny Hill

Designer Cat

April 1, 2011 By Anne 36 Comments

Excitement is running high this week at Bunny Hill! Puttin’ on the Ritz advance yardage has arrived!

I don’t know who’s more excited about the arrival me or Mooch! Mooch is really attracted to this fabric line and I think it might have something to do with the beautiful gray color. As soon as I cut up some little squares she was right there in the middle of everything!

Here she is daring me to move her…

This is a cat’s life at Bunny Hill!

Did you know Mooch can read?

It’s true! Here she is reading the words on the fabric!

My, I have a smart cat! She could be designing very soon.

Did I tease you enough with the pictures?

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hugs,

Anne

Moda News!

March 23, 2011 By Anne 16 Comments

I’m in the news today on the Moda blog and my sons are going to disown me. I promised I would never tell the sequin story! You know how moms are. They made Christmas ornaments when they were little and went door to door selling them. Opps, now I’m really in trouble! Shhh…maybe they don’t read my blog.

I Feel like I should be cleaning the studio and having everyone over for a visit! But wait! That would take some doing right now. We’re getting ready to sew up a storm at Bunny Hill and I guarantee the studio won’t be clean for weeks! Think of the threads, scraps and fabric you might find on the floor.

I’m excited that I found something to fill vintage basket by my desk…jelly rolls and bundles of Lily & Will. I’m even more excited to think it might be filled with Jelly Rolls of Puttin’ on The Ritz before too long. Can you believe another quilt market is just around the corner? I’ll be showing you my new fabric line soon! This is going to be an exciting market for a lot of designers. I can just feel it! Wish you could all come.

One of you asked me about Chelsea and Bitsy a few weeks ago and if Chelsea had lost any weight? They are both doing fine, but Chelsea has developed the strangest phobia. She hates it when I try and take her photo! Since I moved my desk she can walk completely around my computer and I’ll find her standing next to the monitor looking at me. All I have to do is grab my camera and you’d think I was punishing her. She hates it! I don’t use a flash so I can’t imagine what started this!

Here she is standing on top of my desk right in front of me. I picked up the camera and look at the expression on her face!

She hates it! Maybe it’s the weight thing. Do you think?

Back Soon I hope! I’m having trouble with my blog right now and I’m moving it to another server. Forgive me if any glitches come up. I’ll get them fixed as soon as I can.

Hugs,

Anne

Is it the 5th yet?

March 4, 2011 By Anne 21 Comments

I rushed around like crazy yesterday trying to get things done. Have you ever had one of those weeks where you can’t remember what day it is? I thought today was March 5th and I rushed to get my newsletter done and even posted block three of Henrietta! When I realized today is only the 4th I decided to leave block three up. You get the pattern early because I don’t know what day it is!

Mooch watched me all day trying to figure out why on earth I was rushing around.

Wonder what Mooch was thinking?

Never mind, I think I know…

Today will be a better day don’t you think? I’ll be back tomorrow with another post for the 5th. Remind me will you?

Hugs,

Anne

Did you get what you wanted for Christmas?

December 27, 2010 By Anne 12 Comments

Did you get what you wanted for Christmas? Mooch did! She got a pink catnip mouse and became a wild beast on Christmas Eve. It took her less than 1/2 hour to tear off the tail and pull out the stuffing. Catnip all over the floor and, after she was done rolling in it, all over the house!

If you judge a good Christmas by the amount of laughter in the house, this year was a great one! My granddaughters and I made red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting for Christmas Eve dessert. I think there was more frosting on them than the cupcakes, but a lot of laughing and fun went on in the kitchen. They were yummy!

And now we’re down to the last week of 2010! Many of you are finishing up quilts and some of you have sent me photos! I love seeing what you’ve done. Several weeks ago Brigette showed me a quilt on Moda Bake Shop designed by Stephanie Roman. When I saw the design I fell it love with it and when I realized it was designed by Stephanie I loved it even more! Not only is Stephanie sweet, she’s so talented!

Then one of my blog readers, Deborah Pruden, sent me a photo of a quilt she made using my fabric from Lily & Will. She used Stephanie’s pattern! Isn’t it a small world? Don’t you love her quilt?

And Snowbound quilts are getting finished! All the way from Italy comes this beautiful version from Agatha!

And just look at these other photos she sent! You’ll know the one that captured my heart when you see it…

Thanks for sharing Deborah and Agatha! I love the quilts.

FYI, I’ve just added some patterns that are being discontinued at 50% off to my web site. If you see a pattern that you’ve been thinking about buying now is the time! 3 pages of patterns at 50% off.

And have you seen the Lily & Will II advance precuts I’ve added to my web site? I have a very LIMITED number, but if you love the yellow or aqua you can buy it now before it ships to the stores. You’ll find some Lily & Will II under “what’s new“!

Happy last Monday in 2010 everyone!
