Michelle lives in Portland

April 28, 2013 By

Project Runway

Do you watch Project Runway?  I tape all the shows just so I don’t miss one.  If you were cheering for Michelle when she won Project Runway, you are not alone, and guess what?  She lives in Portland, right where quilt market is going to be (ok, maybe not right where quilt market is, but I’m sure she’s close by).  I would love, love, love to meet her!  She should be an inspiration to all of us because she picked herself up when she was down and came out on top.

Holly Hill

Also very near Portland is a fabulous quilt shop called Holly Hill.  It’s a must see stop if you’re going to Portland.  If anyone is still looking for my “Raining Cats & Dogs” quilt kit, Holly Hill has it.  Say I sent you, and get 10% off!  If you go, give Brian and big hug for me!

Garden Roses

Pink Vase

If you remember a few posts back, I showed you a photo of my pink depression glass vase filled with garden roses.  So many of you emailed to ask where I got the vase.  Well I’ve been searching for it on the internet and can’t find anything similar.  I purchased it years ago from Gooseberry Patch, but time has moved on and they no longer sell all the products they used to have.  I loved to shop Gooseberry Patch and I was  disappointed to find just cookbooks and recipes available.  I’ve gotten some great buys from them, and if I lined everything up and took photos you’d all say “I want that too!”.

Well, I wasn’t going to give up, so I’ve been searching eBay and  found 2 vases.  They are on their way to Bunny Hill!  When they arrive I’m going to do a vase giveaway. (No not in this post, but maybe by the end of the week so check back).    Who knows, maybe you can win one!

I’m going to be super careful with my own pink vase since I know how hard they are to find.  I fill mine with my garden roses to enjoy in the studio.  It’s the perfect vase a “frog” style top.

In my vase now

Bring in the new

April 26, 2013 By

It gets so crazy around here right before market.  You’d think I’d be used to it, but it never ceases to amaze me.  It’s market frenzy time and it takes every minute I have to get ready.  My husband cooks, feeds the pets, shops and takes care of the house, just so I can design quilts and write patterns.  Bless his heart, it’s a routine we automatically fall into.  I couldn’t do it without him.

I’ve been sewing with my newest fabric line from Moda called Celebration.  I’ve designed Celebration with 2 colorways;  one for boys and one for girls.

Celebration

 Celebration for boys…

 Celebration Boy

  …with elephants in red, blue or green…

Elephants

…and dots, checks and stars galore!

Celebration Boys

Celebration for girls…

Celebration for Girls

…with sweet little lambs in white, pink or lavender…

Lambs for Girls

…and gingham checks, little birds and tiny flowers.

Gingham checks

The studio shelves are filled!

Fabric

Celebration is a happy fabric line!  It will ship to quilt shops in August.

Hugs,

Anne

Working on “new”

April 9, 2013 By

I’m having so much fun working on my newest block of the month.  I’m mixing the new “Vin du Jour” from Three Sisters with some French General Favorites.  They are getting along wonderfully!

New Quilt

I can’t wait to show you my quilt!  Just a few more weeks and it will be off to the quilter.  I’ll take some sneak peek photos before it leaves.

Yesterday we cleaned our storage room and pulled out fabrics we totally forgot we had.  You’ll find them in the sale section on my website at 50% off.  These are fabrics left from quilts and kits.  You may find something you still need to make one of our quilts.  Sales are always good.

We have applique fever here at Bunny Hill.  I’ve heard it’s catching, but don’t worry.   If you catch it you might have a great time!

Back soon,

Anne

We have a Winner!

April 5, 2013 By

I stopped by Random.org to let them pick a winner for the lovely “S is for Stitch” book.  They do things in such “randomness”,  they make it easy to pick someone. I just put in the numbers, hit enter, and ta da a winner is declared!

Ellen M #194 who happened to comment:

“Such charming designs.  I’m getting back into embroidery after a very long time, so this would be a great inspiration.  Many thanks for the chance!”

 Randomn Number

Congratulations Ellen, I hope your stitching away and loving it very soon!  And thank you Kristyne for writing such a wonderful book!  Hats off to you!

If you received my newsletter this morning,  you hopefully saw my Jelly Bag tote pattern.  It’s made up in Windsor Lane fabric.  The Windsor Lane Junior Jelly Rolls come rolled with twenty beautiful, 2 1/2″ x 42″ fabrics and the Jelly Bag tote pattern calls for eighteen 2 1/2″ x 42″  beautiful fabrics.  Ok, the pattern didn’t really say “beautiful” fabrics but it’s kind of a no-brainer.

Jelly Bag

Since we have to make room for some new fabric, I’ve put all of Windsor Lane on sale at 25 % off on my website.  If you buy a Junior Jelly Roll and 1/2 yd of “beautiful” fabric for the lining, (try that Windsor Lane paisley) we’ll give you a free fat quarter for the pockets!

You’ll still need to buy the pattern,  and those 1 1/2″ covered buttons (yes, we sell those too).  And if I haven’t made this too complicated,  you could be sewing a Jelly Bag very soon.

I’m working away on a new block of the month so it’s busier than ever right now.  I’ll give you some sneak peeks before too long, but now it’s all in the prep stage:  prep the applique, pin it up, take it down, re-prep the applique and try again.

It’s the pre-market craziness!  Yeahhhhh!!!!!!
