Weekend Projects

January 14, 2012 By 12 Comments

Do you have projects planned for this weekend?  Seems like I’ve been waiting for a “free” weekend and now that it’s here I’m in heaven.  I have so many projects I’ve wanted to get started on so I plan on sewing all weekend long.  Speaking of sewing, it’s a great weekend to try a Scrappy Plate quilt block if you haven’t started yet.  Once you make one, you’ll see how easy it is!  Just go for it!

I’ve been working on the applique for my Scrappy Plate quilt, taking pictures as I go along so I can hopefully give you some tips next month.  I don’t know which part I like better, the piecing or the applique.  Click on over to my Flickr group if you want to get inspired!

So many of you emailed asking about kits for Scrappy Plates.  Well guess what?  Kimberly at Fat Quarter Shop has been searching for fabrics and she’s found all the fabrics I’ve used in my quilt.  She’s put together a kit for you with the same polka dot fabrics and borders. You can find it by clicking on the link above.

New wool bundles…

If you love yummy wools, I’ve just added our own special bundles of Weeks Dye Works wools to our website.  After we made these bundles everyone at Bunny Hill wanted one!

Say hello to our Autumn bundle…

…and hello to our Sorbet bundle.

I’d say it’s equally as yummy as Autumn!

  You’ll find these bundles  here on our website.

We’re still working on getting orders shipped from our sale.  We ran out of Cosmo Multiwork Floss #4300 and Dresden templates but we’ve had them both on order.  The templates just arrived and the floss should be here by the middle of next week.  Thank you for your patience if you’ve ordered floss…I promise we’ll ship your order as soon as it arrives!

Have a great weekend everyone!   Hopefully it’s filled with happy sewing!

Hugs,

Anne

Pumpkin Pie on a Quilt

October 25, 2011 By 39 Comments

Pumpkin Pie on a quilt?  It’s acceptable if it’s baked in a Moda Dottie green pie dish with at least one blackbird in the pie.  Oh, one more thing…you have to sing “Sing a Song of Sixpence” while you make this quilt.  If you don’t know the song better Google it.

Pumpkin Pie is made from “Basics”!

The quilt is made mostly from Moda Basics so you should easily be able to find the fabric!  I’ve put a color fabric guide inside the pattern and also on my website to make your shopping easy.

 

Wouldn’t it be fun to make this quilt and put your favorite pumpkin pie recipe on the quilt label?

I’ve got to go pack.  I leave for Quilt Market in the morning.  I’ll take lots of pictures to show when I get back!

Have a great week everyone!

Henrietta’s Big Party!

September 4, 2011 By 99 Comments

Can you believe this is the final block for Henrietta Whiskers?   Henrietta’s excited and a little bit nervous too.  It’s not everyday that a little squirrel gets to meet so many people!  I don’t think either of us ever imagined she would be so popular. I’m giving you block nine and the final quilt a day in advance!  If you’re spending this holiday weekend sewing,  you might have time to finish the quilt and have it ready to hang for Fall!

Henrietta Whiskers Block Nine

Henrietta’s busy catching stars and Sophie’s helping!

And now that you’re finishing up your quilt (you are finishing aren’t you?) you’re probably wondering what I’ve done to that top and bottom strip!  I’ve had your trust all year and you’ve followed me blindly so to speak, so I’m excited to finally show you the entire quilt.  Click on the photo and it will enlarge it.

You’ll find the pattern for block nine along with the finishing instructions, by clicking on the free tab at the top of my blog.

…As We Come to the end of My Henrietta Block of the Month…

…I’ve been struggling trying to find a balance in my life between designing fabric, patterns, quilt markets, family, pets, traveling and oh yes, I forgot me!  Block of the month quilts take so much time to create and I know  you understand how crazy life can get.  I’ve made the difficult decision that Henrietta will be my last free block of the month. I know I’ll be disappointing many of you but I hope you’ll understand.  I have LOTS of fun things up my sleeve that I think you’ll enjoy so please don’t think the fun will end.  New surprises are in the planning stages!

New things added to my website!

You’ll find new floss and notions under “What’s New” on my website.  We are now carrying Cosmo Sparkles Floss and because we’ve gotten so many requests, for a limited time  I’ve  added Cosmo Seasons color #8041.  It’s in stock now and ready to ship!

and…Help me clean our our sample room!

We are filled to the brim and need to make room so you’ll find some great buys on samples and quilts from our patterns! I just listed more on my website.

Happy 4th!!!

July 3, 2011 By 15 Comments

Happy 4th of July everyone!  Henrietta’s here a day early to help us celebrate.  I hope you have a bit of time this weekend to get started on block seven.  Two more blocks to go and then we’ll be onto the borders!  We’re so close to finishing!

 

Be sure to click on the “Sewing with Kids” tab at the top if you have a little free time this weekend to spend with your child.  The first project is up along with some suggestions on how to teach  kids to use the sewing machine.  If you have a child or a grandchild who wants to sew this is going to be so much fun!  When you see this button in a blog post you’ll know I’ve posted another project.

 

 

If you’ve read about my husband’s fishing expedition I have GOOD news.  Saturday was a CATCH SALMON day and he’s coming home with 45 lbs.  Thank you Canada for making him so happy!  Tired…but happy.  They also flew the salmon back to the airport for him.  He flew by helicopter, but I think the Salmon went first class.  It was waiting in customs.

Have a wonderful 4th of July!

Hugs,

Anne
