  • Twinkle Toes

    Have you seen the newest girl’s quilt at Bunny Hill?  I’ve named it Twinkle Toes and it’s from my new fabric line Lily & Will Revisited. The idea for Twinkle Toes started the day my grand-daughter Alyssa came running up to my studio to show me her new pointe shoes.  She could hardly wait to put them on!   She’d worked so hard and waited so long to get these shoes.  The shoes were magical and her excitement was contagious! I’d been working on quilt ideas for my Lily & Will Revisited fabric line, and watching Alyssa dance around my studio in those shoes, put the idea of a ballet quilt in my head! I went…

  • Glitter Houses & Sugar Stars

    I love Glitter Houses, and I’ve collected many throughout the years.  I have a vintage collection mixed in with new, and my Christmas decorating always centers around these houses.  My newest fabric line, Sugar Plum Christmas, has a soft side that you can see when you combine the pink, gray, and ivory fabrics. These are the fabrics I used to create Glitter Houses, one of my new quilts.  In shades of pink and gray it’s going to be a shabby chic, pink Christmas! I’ve embellished Glitter Houses with crystals and pearls that sparkle with highlights when reflected in the light.  If you love pink and grey as much as I do, you’ll have so much fun…
