I Love My Pet Contest

Hello September!

September 5, 2010 By Anne 19 Comments

It’s September 5th and if you read my newsletter today you know that we have 2 winners in the “I Love My Pet” contest! What an exciting end to a wonderful month!

Congratulations Franklin & Terry!

Terry give Franklin a hug. He won you a great first prize!

Then, drum roll please….

We also gave out a second prize!

Chelsea loves kids and she thought this picture was the cutest ever! So we added a second place prize for Ronnie and his best friend Jack! Alyssa, Ronnie’s mom, submitted this photo and I think you’ll agree it’s a winner!

Speaking of winners, I had a dickens of a time trying to get Chelsea to pick one. Truth be told I think she was a bit intimidated by the rabbit. She was not about to put her paws up on that bunny. The star of Bunny Hill has a mind of her own!

I even tried Bitsy and Mooch. No luck at all!

I’m surrounded by pets at Bunny Hill and not one would co-operate!

Life is never dull around here! I had to go to a a random number drawing instead!

And now to bring our pet contest to a close, I have one more photo for you. Meet “Sis” who belongs to Bernice, a special customer. She sent us this darling photo in the mail. Thank you Bernice for taking the time to share Sis with us! She is adorable! Love that little pink tongue!

This Pet contest been so much fun! Thank you again to each and everyone!

And now are you ready for a bit more quilting?

It’s Snowbound Time!

Block Eight of Snowbound is ready to go!

If you’ve been keeping up with the Snowbound blocks, your quilt should be looking something like this:

Don’t jump ahead and look at block number ten! You didn’t really think I’d show it to you did you? You’ll have to wait until October!. Three more blocks to go! It’s not too late if you haven’t already started!

New Notion!

I love notions and I love to share my favorite ones with you. I tried this Omnigrid little rotary cutter when I was preparing the templates for my new block of the month. Smooth templates mean smooth applique! I fell in love with it.

Any drawing with a straight line, or a slightly curved edge can be cut accurate and smoothly with this little cutter. It gives you great control and the blade is pressure sensitive. It retracts when you lift up the cutter!

Try it when cutting templates for houses, doors, windows, presents, etc. Use a ruler to guide you and cut away! Then try cutting a curved piece by pressing down on the ruler and turning the template. You’ll find it here on my web site and I think you’ll love it!

Tiny Town on Sale!

And don’t forget, Tiny Town is on sale this month for 25% off. This applies to my wholesale customers also! If you haven’t purchased this quilt, now is the time to do it!

Have a great weekend everyone! Hope you get a lot of sewing done!

A few more Pets

September 2, 2010 By Anne 25 Comments

Saturday is coming up fast and I’ll be announcing the winner of the “I love my pet contest”. Chelsea is ready, and she’s been practicing choosing a winner. She’s looked at all the photos, I’ve read her all the emails, and she’s more excited than you can imagine!

Wait! What’s wrong here! She can’t be sleeping through all of this can she? This just can’t be happening. She has work to do!

Don’t worry; she’ll wake up for a treat. She’s very fond of food as you can see. Our neighbor calls her Super Squirrel and I’m beginning to think the name fits. She’s about the right size and she’s storing up for winter. I’ve caught her burying little chew bones lately.

Before I end this parade of photos, I just have to share a few more. There are hundreds of amazing pictures, and so many wonderful pets! I never anticipated such a response. I wish I could have featured each and every one. Hope you enjoy a few more stars!

We’ll be back on Saturday to announce Chelsea’s pick for the winning basket. She needs her rest! She’s got a lot of responsibility for such a little dog.

Thank you to each and everyone who submitted photos!

The Bunny Hill “I Love My Pet Contest” is officially closed!

I’ll announce the winner on September 5th!

This is my last pet post! Over 800 photographs have been submitted! I hope you’ve enjoyed the past week. I’ve looked at so many pictures I just can’t believe it! I’ve read your emails, laughed and cried with you, and never in a million years did I think I’d end up with this many photos!

I tried to post as many pictures as I could and of course I couldn’t post them all. Even if your photo wasn’t posted, you’re still entered in my contest. What a group they make when viewed all at once. You can see all of the photos here on Flickr! If you don’t see your photo, something was wrong with the file or it couldn’t be copied.

It’s back to the quilting life now. Market is coming in October and I have so much to do! I’ll be keeping you updated with the everyday happenings at Bunny Hill. Thank you for sending in your photos. One of you is going to win this basket! I’ll announce the winner in my Newsletter on September 5th.
