Welcome to our new look
I’ve done it! I spent the weekend updating my blog. I know it will take a while to figure out where everything is. It’s kind of like moving into a new house; I’ve got the same old furniture, it’s just arranged differently. Be sure and visit the menu bar at the top because you’ll find lots of changes that I hope you like! I’m excited that the comment form is finally at the bottom of the blog post! Silly, I know, but now you don’t have to search for it when you feel like leaving a comment. And, if you want to email me a question, or tell me something…

Wool in the studio
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! 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…

Snow Pockets
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…

Wool Colors
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
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…

Valdani Colors…What’s your favorite?
Valdani has more colors than you ever thought possible, breathtaking colors that make you want to own them even if you don’t stitch. Each new color is more lovely than the last. It’s like opening a huge box of crayons each time we get a delivery. Just look at these Valdani Pearl Cotton collections I added to the website. Aren’t they pretty? If you enlarge the pictures you can hold them in your hand…well, almost. Colors go in and out of stock at Valdani quickly and because this thread is hand dyed we may have to wait a month or two before some colors are back in stock. I…
