Finishing up 2011

Redwork Raining Cats & Dogs

This week we finally finished the new Redwork Raining Cats and Dogs pattern.   What a great end to 2011.   Say hello to redwork in 2012!

  Just look at the fabulous quilting!

 

 Have you ever wondered how to quilt a redwork quilt?

 You quilt right through the embroidery!  Most of the stitching will sink into the quilt and you’ll never see it.

  You’ll find this pattern available now on my website but you might want to wait until January 5th if you’re thinking about buying it because…

A sale is coming!

And you get advance notice because you read my blog!   Starting January 5th everything on my website, except the Pumpkin Pie quilt kits, will be on sale for 25% off if you have the coupon code.  You’ll find this code in my newsletter that comes out on the 5th so make sure you’ve signed up (you’ll find the signup link under the slide show here on my website).  Make a list of what you want now so you’ll be sure to get it.  25% off only happens twice a year at Bunny Hill!

Henrietta’s Getting Ready To Hibernate!

And remember to print and save the Henrietta Whiskers patterns by December 31st.  Henrietta’s going into hibernation on New Year’s Day and she’ll no longer be offered as a free pattern.  She’ll be back on the website soon as a full pattern for purchase.

Have a wonderful New Year everyone!

I’ll see you in 2012  :>) and I can’t wait!

 Hugs,

Anne

How many people does it take to make a quilt?

June 17, 2011 By

In the case of Raining Cats & Dogs it took 13 people to finally get the pattern ready to ship!  I’m sending BIG hugs and a thank you to everyone who helped me with this quilt: To my husband who’s spent days listening to me go on and on about how it might never get done, to Lissa at Moda who worked miracles in getting me fabric, to Lisa who spent hours helping me with all the graphics, to Anne, Dee, Tina, Sandy, Melissa, and Pauline who helped with the sewing, applique and embroidery in record time, to Lynne who worked wonders with her fabulous quilting, to Florence who’s spent hours preparing this pattern for print, to Nancy who’s proofed it with her magical red pen, to Greg who photographed it with his artistic skills, and finally to Karl who will collate and package this pattern for me next week!

Did you ever imagine it could take so many people?  I couldn’t have done it without them!

 

This pattern will be ready to ship next week!  Here are some closeups of the blocks…finally!

Look at the little hearts that Lynne quilted in-between the dogs in Block One!

 

Block Two

 

Block Three

 

Block Four

 

Block Five

 

Block Six

 

Block Seven

 

Block Eight

 

Block Nine

 

and last but not least Block Ten!

When this patterns arrives at my door next week I’ll say thank you again to each and everyone who worked on it!

(Oops…14 people if you count me!)

Hugs,

 

Anne  :>)

I love Friday don’t you?  I’m especially happy this Friday because my new block of the month, Raining Cats and Dogs just arrived at my quilter’s house!  She’ll work her magic and by next week I’ll be binding and sewing on embellishments.  I just can’t wait to show you the finished quilt!  New patterns are coming very soon!

 

To keep you all happy while I finish up the patterns it’s time to give away some fabric bundles and jelly rolls!  Thank you to everyone who left a comment.  I love my blog readers and six of you are going to have a very lucky Friday!  Ready?  If you see your name below email me at info@bunnyhilldesigns.com and give me your shipping information.  You could be sewing with some Puttin’ on the Ritz very soon!
