Wool in the studio

Bunny Hill Wool

I’ve been so wrapped up in wool I’m in heaven!  I feel like I’m playing with paper dolls and it’s so much fun.  It just doesn’t get any better than this…unless you box up some Valdani Pearl Cotton to go with it!

 

Valdani & Bunny Hill Wool

These are the new Bunny Hill Pastel wools from Moda Fabrics and they’re in my studio right now!  I’m working on lots of new patterns to go with these yummy colors and I can’t wait to show you!   Ok, maybe one little sneak peek…

Kim and I have been stitching  up a storm.  Kim’s only been stitching for a year and look at those stitches!  She’s a natural :>)

Stitching on wool with Valdani Pearl Cotton is so much fun!

Coming to a shop near you in May of this year, Bunny Hill Pastel Wool from Moda!

Hugs,

Snow Pockets

August 5, 2012 By

When Christmas comes around I’m always looking for a new way to package up cash or gift cards.  There aren’t too many ways to make $$ look cute, so Bunny Hill to the rescue!

Snow pockets are simple to make and they’re perfect to hold cash or gift cards.  You can hang them on a tree, use them at a place setting, hang from a chair or a garland.  Whatever you dream up to put inside,  little gifts are going to look special!

You’ve never worked with wool before?  Don’t worry, I’ve made it easy.  Just follow my wool applique tutorial and use my free pattern!

Wool Applique Simplified

Snow Pockets

To get you started we’ve made up a kit that includes everything you need;  100 % wool, Cosmo floss, buttons, ribbon and a chenille needle!  Just add glue, scissors and freezer paper.  You’ll find it here on my website.

I hope you enjoy making these little Snow pockets!

Hugs,

Anne

Wool Colors

July 18, 2012 By

We’ve got some new colors of wool I just put on our website.  Yum is all I can say!

If these don’t make you want to work with wool nothing will!   :>)

These are new colors from Weeks Dye Works.  It was really hard to cut these into bundles.  I just want to keep them on my desk for eye candy!   See the grey, third from the bottom?  It’s called “Galvanized”…don’t you love the name?  Trust me you’ll love the color too.

If you haven’t worked with wool maybe it’s time to try it.  I’ll teach you how in my next newsletter.

Hugs,

Anne

Wool & Dresdens

March 21, 2012 By

If you’re attending the Paducah Quilt Show next month be sure and search for Karolyn Reker’s version of YoYoville.     She “fussy cut” little critters for the windows and doors of the houses on the border!  Look how cute these are!  I haven’t seen all the critters yet so I’m counting on you to take photos for me if you’re going to the show.  Think of the fun Karolyn had searching for all the critter fabrics!

 

Our “Bunny Hill” Kim amazed us yesterday with more of her Dresden blocks.  She used wool for the centers and machine appliqued the entire block.  She widened the stitch width a little when she came to the wool centers.

 Her work is perfect and you’ll be seeing it on some of the new Bunny Hill quilts very soon.  I love the wool centers don’t you?

For those of you working on our Pumpkin Pie quilt, we’ve added a Kimono Silk Thread Kit.  It has all the colors you’ll need to applique the quilt by hand or machine.

Enjoy your week.  I’ll be back as soon as I can :>)
