Fabric Design

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

You know you haven’t been posting…

September 13, 2010 By Anne 9 Comments

You know you haven’t been posting much when you have to login to get back into your blog! WordPress is asking me who on earth I am! It’s me, it’s me WordPress. I’m still here!

Guess what? Moda has a new designer! Welcome Aneela Hoey! Hop on over to her blog and leave a comment. She has such a cute style! I have a feeling we are going to love her new fabric line! The announcement came from our own Moda Lissa. Moda Lissa keeps all of the news from Moda locked up in her head until it’s time to spill the beans. That’s right, everything is inside her pretty head. Then bit by bit she lets it out. She’s amazing!

Just look at this ad Lissa put together for Lily & Will in “Quilt’s n More” magazine! I tell you these two babies are so SPOILED! They’ve gotten only the best from Moda, and I hear their mother can’t stop smiling! See that pink plaid as the background? It’s so cute! And pink! Be sure and add some to your stash. You’ll be seeing it a lot at Bunny Hill and who knows when you’ll need it.

You can meet these beautiful babies personally at a quilt shop near you in just a few weeks. The bundles of joy (fat quarter bundles, jelly rolls, layer cakes, and charm packs) are in some stores right now, and the yardage is getting ready to ship from the Moda warehouse! I’ll try and tell you when it ships so we can track the UPS trucks!

Have you visited the Moda Bake Shop lately? If not, you’re missing a free LILY & WILL project! It’s designed by a new Moda Bake Shop Chef, Melissa Corey . Thanks Melissa! Where did you find that perfect little baby for the center of the quilt?

Snowbound Update:

Snowbound Block Number Nine has been proofed by the best and we still missed something. Thank you Susan for telling me I forgot to include the directions for the fringe on Snowbound Block Nine! For all of you who have yet to do this block (guilty ones please stand up), I used a straight stitch for the scarf fringe and two strands of floss, DMC #754. Stem stitch would be great too, and I matched my floss to the scarf fabric. It would be pretty cute if you used different colors of floss for the fringe, like when you unravel a piece of wool. Hey, why not use a piece of wool for the scarf?

It’s back to work or I’ll never make it to market in October. I’ll be back soon I promise!

Oh Baby you’re so sophisticated!

June 8, 2010 By Anne 15 Comments

I’ve been talking about it for weeks, you’ve seen the patterns by now, and I’ve even given some fabric away. But have you seen it close-up? Every single fabric? It’s such a treat to have my name on this selvage!

I’m in love with twins, can you imagine? Lily & Will have been taking up most of the Bunny Hill studio for quite awhile. Finally, here they are right out of the Moda catalog!

Introducing

Lily & Will

Luscious pinks for Lily, beautiful blues for Will, and the prettiest green ever for those of us who love green! Combine these with creams and browns and think of the things you can make with this fabric! Baby and so much more! Sophisticated and charming is the look I wanted and thanks to Moda I think we’ve done it! You can enlarge these pictures and see every fabric!

I designed the main print from Lily & Will with home decor in mind. Drapes, crib skirts, bassinets, and even whole cloth quilts. It’s large enough to give an impact and set the stage for the entire room. Just look at the drapes and bumper pad cover created from this fabric!

Diaper bags, bibs, whole-cloth quilts with satin backing and satin trim will be available from Moda home. And yards and yards of pleated satin ruffles in blue, pink, ivory and brown. Oh my what more could I wish for?

How about bundles, jelly rolls and layers cakes packaged by color? That’s right COLOR! Moda’s made it so easy for you to choose and my new line of “Bunny Hill Baby” patterns will help you create the nursery you’ve always wanted! From drapes to cuddle cloths.

Lily & Will will be shipping to your local quilt stores in October. Seems like years away but remember how time goes so fast. I’m working on a coordinating line for Fall market and I hope to show you how this fabric can be used for things other than baby.

Don’t worry, Bunny Hill will still have the same style you’ve gotten used to seeing. I’ll always be working on applique quilts and even using other Moda fabrics. You’ll always find pincushions, Bunny Hill Home patterns, and new surprises for all of you. Nothing has changed, we’ve just added a very post baby section! When you think of baby, turn to our fabric and patterns for a style you won’t find anywhere else!

October can’t come fast enough for me! If you love it too, ask your local quilt store to order it! As we get closer to the ship date I’ll be showing you step by step how to add that pleated ruffle to the border of your quilts. It’s sew easy!

Have a great week everyone! I should be in Germany by now!
