Cat naps
If you make a quilt the cat will find it… I set the redwork quilt on my desk, walked away for a minute and Mooch took possession. She was very upset when I made her get off and she protested loudly. She didn’t care that I had to get it in the mail! I should know by now that cats rule the house, cat naps are very important and… …if you make a quilt the cat will find it. Every time! Back soon with blocks for Jeaneane.

First week of December!
I started December off at our local hospital early on the morning of December 1st. My husband had arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder because of a torn rotator cuff. We had to arrive by 5:45AM. I had envisioned just “us” arriving at that time of the morning, but to my surprise there was a waiting room filled with patients all scheduled for different surgeries. He was assigned a number and from that point on he could be tracked on the surgery tracker board in the waiting room. It’s an amazing, color coded, automated system that lets you see where the patient is at all times…in the preop room, in surgery,…

How many people does it take to make a quilt?
In the case of Raining Cats & Dogs it took 13 people to finally get the pattern ready to ship! I’m sending BIG hugs and a thank you to everyone who helped me with this quilt: To my husband who’s spent days listening to me go on and on about how it might never get done, to Lissa at Moda who worked miracles in getting me fabric, to Lisa who spent hours helping me with all the graphics, to Anne, Dee, Tina, Sandy, Melissa, and Pauline who helped with the sewing, applique and embroidery in record time, to Lynne who worked wonders with her fabulous quilting, to Florence who’s spent…

Spring Quilt Market 2011
Oh my goodness, what a whirlwind the last week has been. I met so many wonderful people and saw so many beautiful quilts. I’m in awe of it all! Hugs, hugs, and more hugs; I think that’s what quilt market is about! Salt Lake City I miss you already, but I have to say it feels good to be home. The greeting committee that met me at the front door today made sure I was covered in wet sloppy kisses in no time at all. I got a hug and a kiss from my husband too, but there’s nothing like dog kisses mixed with a little cat fur! Speaking of…

Designer Cat
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…

Is it the 5th yet?
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…
