Snow Pockets

August 5, 2012 By

When Christmas comes around I’m always looking for a new way to package up cash or gift cards.  There aren’t too many ways to make $$ look cute, so Bunny Hill to the rescue!

Snow pockets are simple to make and they’re perfect to hold cash or gift cards.  You can hang them on a tree, use them at a place setting, hang from a chair or a garland.  Whatever you dream up to put inside,  little gifts are going to look special!

You’ve never worked with wool before?  Don’t worry, I’ve made it easy.  Just follow my wool applique tutorial and use my free pattern!

Wool Applique Simplified

Snow Pockets

To get you started we’ve made up a kit that includes everything you need;  100 % wool, Cosmo floss, buttons, ribbon and a chenille needle!  Just add glue, scissors and freezer paper.  You’ll find it here on my website.

I hope you enjoy making these little Snow pockets!

Hugs,

Anne

Weekend Projects

January 14, 2012 By

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

Bunny Hill Scrappy Plate Club

January 5, 2012 By

It’s time for my Bunny Hill Scrappy Plate Club!  If you’ve always wanted to make a Dresden Plate quilt then you’re going to have so much fun!   Every month for the next 6 months I’ll be sharing pictures, tutorials and directions to make a wonderful Dresden Plate quilt!   You’ll have a completed quilt before the end of the year and have a great time along the way.  It’s a chance to use your stash, meet new friends, get creative, and maybe win some prizes and treats.  Are you ready?

First choose your fabrics!  You’ll need 20 to 30 different fabrics for the “blades” of your plate so get over to your stash and start looking.  I’m sure you’ll come up with fabrics if you think about it. Or, maybe it’s time to visit your local quilt shop and add some new fabrics.  Nothing lifts the spirits like buying fabric and quilt shops will love you.

I’m personally addicted to dots so I pulled every polka dot I could find, cut them into 4″ strips and cut away with my Easy Dresden ruler!  Once I got started I couldn’t stop.  I’m sure I cut enough for two quilts I have so many left over but I wanted variety and variety I got!  Dresden Art was created!

Each little piece became a Dresden blade like this!

See how easy it was?

Before I knew it I had Dresden blades I could stitch together!

And once they were stitched together…

I could make my first Dresden plate…

Oh my this is fun!

So join me in 2012 and make a Dresden Plate quilt!  Think of the colors you can use!  Try 30′s fabrics, civil war, batiks, florals…you get the idea.  Just make sure you have lights, mediums and darks in your fabric assortment and you’ll be fine.  You’ll find Part One of the directions on my “free” tab above.  This is what you need to get you started and it includes a diagram of the finished quilt.  Next month I’ll be back with Part Two so you have plenty of time to work on the first part.  You can grab my little Scrappy Plate Logo for your blog if you’d like and be sure and join my Flickr Group so you can post your photos.  I’m ready to stitch my first block down!

I’ll be back soon! Happy Scrappy Plates!

Henrietta Block Eight!

August 4, 2011 By

I’ve posted block eight of Henrietta Whiskers a little early for my blog readers!

Henrietta’s showing off more of her neighborhood this month.  Rumor has it that the people who live in this house feed Henrietta peanuts.

And that sometimes Henrietta brings along a friend…

or two…

or three…

…and they all “pig” out together!

Good thing I didn’t put any peanuts on this quilt.  Imagine how many squirrels might have shown up!

If you’ve been keeping up with the blocks, your quilt should look something like this…

There’s only one more block and then you’ll be able to sew your quilt together!  That’s the part I love don’t you?   The final touch is the border!  I’ll give you the border next month along with block nine so get ready to finish this quilt!

And, if you haven’t had your fill of squirrels, take a look at my Pumpkin Hill pattern…


I think I see Henrietta!  Is she the one jumping over the moon?  Maybe!

I’ve just revised Pumpkin Hill into a single pattern and of course I’ve included color photos of each block.

If you haven’t made Pumpkin Hill yet, maybe now is the time to start…the price has been reduced from $64.00 to $38.00

 

Happy applique everyone!

Hugs,

Anne
