Twinkle Toes
Have you seen the newest girl’s quilt at Bunny Hill? I’ve named it Twinkle Toes and it’s from my new fabric line Lily & Will Revisited. The idea for Twinkle Toes started the day my grand-daughter Alyssa came running up to my studio to show me her new pointe shoes. She could hardly wait to put them on! She’d worked so hard and waited so long to get these shoes. The shoes were magical and her excitement was contagious! I’d been working on quilt ideas for my Lily & Will Revisited fabric line, and watching Alyssa dance around my studio in those shoes, put the idea of a ballet quilt in my head! I went…

In My Studio Now
I have some of my favorite fabrics on my studio shelves now. They are calling my name, waiting for samples to be made. It’s Lily & Will Revisited in pink, gray and Bunny Hill Blue. Pretty in pink, Beautiful in blue, Elegant in gray, Put them all together and it’s a Lily & Will Revisited Bundle! I feel like I should order bolts for my own personal stash building, because this fabric won’t come again. What if I decide several years from now, I need to make curtains from this beautiful gray Cottontail Toile? Or, maybe a duvet cover from this Cottontail Toile? And a dust ruffle from this beautiful stripe? Did…

We’ve Been Making Bundles!
We’ve spent the week making little fabric bundles of Lily & Will. I’m getting ready for new fabric to arrive and some just has to go because I’m running out of room! Perfect little stash builders…can I tempt you? Oh my these are hard to part with! Something about a “bundle” that makes me so happy! You’ll find these little bundles here on my website. I’ve got a basket filled with these just waiting to leave the studio! I’ve also put some quilts on my website to sell…something I’ve never done before. NO, they’re not my applique block of the months… I’m saving those for I’d be in trouble with…

The Bears Are In!
Happy Friday everyone! The bears are in thanks to all of you! How could my husband resist after reading your comments? He happily carried the bears back inside, and now I think I’ll find a place for them every year. Tradition, isn’t it wonderful? I’ve put them in a vintage pink cradle I’ve been saving for something special. The cradle is large enough for triplets so the bears feel right at home. This brown bear peaking out from the back is a vintage teddy bear. He’s well loved, a bit saggy and I think he’s my favorite! He found a home with me the minute I saw him. He’s a…

A Christmas Without Bears?
I spent the weekend decorating for Christmas like many of you. My husband drug out all the boxes, stacked them in the center of the garage and asked “are you doing the bears this year?” ” Think I’ll skip a year” I said. “Maybe they’re getting a bit old, year after year.” And then tonight I found these pictures… “So you’re done now, right? I can put all these boxes away?” “Yes, all finished!”, I said. But that was before I found the photos. I don’t have the heart to tell him my little friends can’t sit outside in plastic bins. I don’t know where I’ll put them now that…
