Did you get what you wanted for Christmas?
Did you get what you wanted for Christmas? Mooch did! She got a pink catnip mouse and became a wild beast on Christmas Eve. It took her less than 1/2 hour to tear off the tail and pull out the stuffing. Catnip all over the floor and, after she was done rolling in it, all over the house! If you judge a good Christmas by the amount of laughter in the house, this year was a great one! My granddaughters and I made red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting for Christmas Eve dessert. I think there was more frosting on them than the cupcakes, but a lot of laughing…

It’s finally a Quilt!
Snowmen are coming to town this holiday season! It’s Snowbound time at Bunny Hill! There’s nothing like finishing a quilt and being able to finally use it! If you’ve joined me in making Snowbound, I hope you’ll enjoy yours as much as I’m enjoying mine! I’ve gathered up a few of my favorite snowmen and Snowbound is hanging in my dining room for the holidays. Come on in! They key to a good display is to vary the height. You can easily create height with a few empty boxes, some scraps of your favorite quilting fabric, ribbon and pins. You can reuse the fabric after Christmas so don’t worry about…

To Market and Back!
Did you miss me? I sure missed all of you! I feel like I’ve been gone forever! Quilt market was fun, fun, fun but I am sure glad to be back home. I was greeted by the tail waggers club the minute I walked in the door. Both the President and the Vice President of the tail waggers club were EXCITED to see me! When we arrived in Houston we were greeted with 90 degree weather and when we left we had 4 inches of rain and thunderstorms. They do things extreme in Texas! So on with the photos! Here I am, the chief Bunny, taking the famous Pioneer Woman…

Only four more snowbound blocks left, can you believe it? We’ll be decorating for Christmas before you know it! If you received my newsletter this morning you know it’s “I Love My Pet” month at Bunny Hill! Email or…

Happy 4th of July!
Surprise! It’s July 4th and I’m in the mood to celebrate! Here’s block seven of “Snowbound” a day early, just in case you have time to sew today in-between barbecues and fireworks! Just click on “Free” on the top bar of my blog, scroll down the page and you’ll find the pattern! My “Snowbound” quilt just came back from Lynne my quilter and it’s ready for the pretty red binding. All of my embellishments were stitched on ahead of time so I could take photos, so Lynne had to quilt “around” them. This wasn’t easy and she went above and beyond for me. She deserves extra applause! Can’t wait…

Burrr, Is it cold where you live?
It’s February 5th and I’m ready with block number two of “Snowbound”. We’re going skiing! Might seem a little strange if you live in Australia, but here in the United States, many cities are covered in snow and freezing! Our little snowman doesn’t care about the cold. Cold means snow, and snow means fun! You’ll find the blocks in two places; on my web site and now on this blog! Just click on the “Free” tab at the top of my blog and you’ll see it. If my site is slow, please try again later. These little snowmen will be here all year. You’ll have plenty of time to download the…
