Quilt Market Color

November 5, 2011 By 21 Comments

International Quilt Market is always so exciting!  Twice a year unbelievable talent comes together under one roof and you can’t help but be inspired!  Walking the aisles = mind overload;  new things are everywhere.  Getting away from my booth to see things can be challenging but oh so much fun!  My focus this time was on color…beautiful, beautiful color…

 

Can you stand it?  Don’t you want to just dig your hands into those buttons and cut yourself some trims?  I got carried away in the Valdani booth with all that pearl cotton and floss.  I may have to get a job working for Valdani just so I can get my fill of those balls of color.  I’d never get a paycheck because I’d spend it all before it reached my hands!  Good thing this only happens twice a year.  I could end up in the poor house for bunnies!

Back soon to show you my booth…

Hugs,

Anne

Twenty of you get a prize!

September 14, 2011 By 15 Comments

 Today is Fig Tree Day on the Moda Blog Hop Country Fair!

Go, go, go and download the cutest chicken scratch ever!

Oh my goodness how many comments did you say there were?  Chelsea calculated out that if she had $1 for every comment, she’d be able to buy enough dog treats to last for several years!    I told her we didn’t have any room to store them and a dog treat obsession isn’t a good one to have…now a fabric obsession is another story.  If I just had one fat quarter for every comment… Chelsea and I are dreamers for sure…

So let’s get to the fun!

If you win something email me your name, address and what you won to: info@bunnyhilldesigns.com

Here are the winners of the Jelly Rolls and Waffle Cloth bundle…

It’s A Country Fair!

September 7, 2011 By 1,566 Comments

Today is American Jane Day at the Fair…

Wait until you see Miss Henny Penny!   

 

Lissa Alexander at Moda Fabrics always has creative ideas…she stores them in her head and just pulls them out when she needs one.  Amazing talent don’t you think?  She came up with the idea of the Moda Country Fair Blog Hop and then she thought up all these things for us to do!  Thanks Lissa, you are just so smart!

We’ve been talking about the Moda Country Fair for the last month around the studio and somehow Chelsea got the idea she was invited to the fair.  She’s got these big brown eyes that make it really hard to say no…

So what do you tell a Chihuahua who thinks she’s going to a country fair?  You tell her “OK, OK, you can go”!

There was no stopping her after I said that.  Chelsea wanted to be in on everything.  Everything?  OK Chelsea, Lissa thought up questions for us to answer so if you’re “in” you have to answer them too!

Question #1:   What’s your favorite fair food?

This question is way too easy for Chelsea to answer!

 

I hope Chelsea doesn’t tell Moda what I was really thinking when I was holding this cupcake pincushion!

 

 Question #2:  What’s your guilty pleasure?

Something no one knows… EVERY market my friend Anne and I load up on HOT TAMALES and CANDY CORN.  We each bring several boxes and we have a sugar party the entire market.   Fall market we eat the orange candy corn and spring market we eat the pastel candy corn.  I’m addicted to these little treats and so is Anne.

…and Chelsea’s guilty pleasure?  You’re not going to believe this but it’s Broccoli with butter!

Question #3:  What’s on your bucket list?

Ha!  Is Lissa kidding?  This was way too easy for Chelsea (click on the picture to enlarge).  I swear this dog is smarter than me!  Why didn’t I think of the pink convertible?  I want one too!

Question #4:  What inspires your work?

You may not know it but Chelsea is part of the approval committee at Bunny Hill.  She likes quilts with bunnies  on them and she’s very vocal about it…she actually wanted me to design a quilt with a Chihuahua wearing bunny ears!  Oh my what am I going to do with a Chihuahua who wants bunny ears?

MY favorite thing to do for inspiration is visit the flea markets…

When I think of a Country Fair I think of a cake walk…remember those?  Since I can’t do a real cake walk,  I did a cupcake pattern so everyone can have a little cake!  You can choose from a cupcake banner or a cupcake pincushion!

Bunny Hill Cupcake Pattern

And of course when you go to a country fair you’ll probably enter a raffle so let’s have one here.  You don’t have to buy a ticket but you do have to leave a comment on this post.  Here’s what we’re giving away…

3 Jelly Rolls of Puttin’ on the Ritz…a bundle of waffle cloth and satin for baby…

…and 16 wonderful Puttin’ on the Ritz scrap bags!

We’ll be picking 20 raffle prize winners!  TWENTY!!!  I’ll pick with a random number generator (Chelsea can’t be trusted to pick) and announce them on the 14th of September.  Be sure and check back!

I hope you enjoy our Moda blog hop.  Each day will bring you a new designer, more prizes and so many free patterns you’ll be jumping for joy!  Country fairs just don’t get any better than this!

Hop on over to visit Barb and Mary from Me and My Sister Designs tomorrow.  I adore these ladies and I bet you do too!

We’ve Been Making Bundles!

August 21, 2011 By 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
