Lily & Will

We’ve Been Making Bundles!

August 21, 2011 By Anne 17 Comments

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 my family! These are sample quilts from some of my Bunny Hill Patterns. They are in perfect condition and need new homes. I’ve only listed a few so far but I’ll be adding more as time permits. Be sure and check back because my closet is bulging with quilts and samples! You can pick these up for about the price of quilting. Good for you and good for me.

And once the bundles all leave I’m left with stacks of “Puttin on the Ritz”…

Dang, can’t part with it yet…sorry, but it’s coming soon to a quilt store near you!

Hugs,

Anne

Lily & Will II is here!

March 10, 2011 By Anne 16 Comments

I’ve been so caught up working on new patterns it took me by complete surprise when Kimberly at Fat Quarter Shop emailed to say she has my new fabric, Lily & Will II in stock! It’s finally arrived and I’m feeling like a new mom! Think of all the things you can make with this yummy aqua and yellow fabric!

If you’re looking for a fast and easy quilt try our “B is for Baby” whole cloth quilt. We’ve included a full alphabet so you can customize with any initial you desire. A touch of applique and you’re done! Just look at this yummy aqua! Enlarge my photo so you can see it!

Here’s what you’ll need to make “B is for Baby“

Materials Needed:

Large appliqué bunny:
1 fat quarter plus contrast scraps for leg, ear, tail and hearts

Or maybe you’re in the mood for Petit Fours since Easter is right around the corner. This Jelly Roll quilt is so easy you won’t believe it. You’ll have it made in a day and ready to quilt. Isn’t this a fun use for a Jelly Roll?

Here’s what you’ll need to make Petit Fours:

1 Jelly Roll™: in either pink yellow or aqua

I was taking these quilt photos this morning and Mooch jumped up on the bed (of course). She has to be the star even when Lily & Will II is arriving. You know how cats are! Gray cat on white bed…hmmm something rather royal about that. I wonder if she’s thinking about my next fabric line!

I’m patiently awaiting the arrival of the advance yardage for my Spring line called “Puttin’ on the Ritz”. I’m designing without fabric right now just using little images; not the easiest thing to do so keep your fingers crossed that it comes soon!

Hope you’re all having a great week!

Hugs,

Anne

The Bears Are In!

December 3, 2010 By Anne 23 Comments

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 shabby chic bear in every way!

How many bears can you fit in a cradle? Lots, if they’ll share the space!

One bear (Arnold) lives in my studio. He’s handmade by The Vintage Magpie in Europe! Maybe he should join his friends at Christmas but I can’t “bear” to part with him even for a week or two!

As for those little bundles that I showed you in the studio? We’ve packaged them up and the winners are listed below (if you’re on this list the random number generator loves you so email me your address at info@bunnyhilldesigns.com!):

A Christmas Without Bears?

November 28, 2010 By Anne 389 Comments

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 all the decorations are up, but they have to come in and be part of our holiday tradition. Call me sentimental. He’s put away all the boxes so I think I’ll just link him to this blog post. Who can resist these bears?

While I’m working on finding a place for my bears, I found another picture for you! Would you like to win a few of these tiny little bundles? Packages of 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ squares of Lily & Will II!

Leave me a comment and 12 of you are going to win 3 little bundles each of yellow and aqua Lily & Will II! Oh the fun you can have with these little squares! I’ll announce the 12 winners Friday December 3rd!

Have a great week everyone!

Hugs,

Anne
