Weekend Projects

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.

Happy April 5th!
Can you believe it’s April 5th? It’s Henrietta Whiskers day here at Bunny Hill! I have a drop in class today for Henrietta Whiskers at In-Between Stitches in Livermore, California.

It’s so much fun, and of course really, really fast! If you don’t have the DMC thread see if you have any Mettler 60wt. and then click on my tutorial section.
