Fabric from Sample Spree
It’s June 1st and I can hardly believe it! I leave for Germany next week for my son’s wedding! In just seven more days I’ll be on my first trip to Europe. I just couldn’t be more excited! When I think of all the things I need to get done before I leave it’s a little overwhelming, but it’s like that before any trip don’t you think? I have lists of things to take care of before I leave, and getting on that airplane will seem so unreal to me! I’ve never been to Europe so I have no idea what to expect!
Bunny Hill will still be open, orders will be processed and you’ll never even know I’m gone. The newsletter will come out on the 5th with the next Snowbound block, and I even have blog posts scheduled so it will seem like I’m still home. I leave on the 7th and will be back in two weeks. Germany, Paris, and the Cotswolds in England are calling me!
Before I forget I went shopping at sample spree! That’s right! Shopping for you! Remember I promised a give away? Someone is going to win these bundles of my first fabric line with Moda, called Lily & Will! Leave a comment and tell me if you want the pink, blue or green bundle and I’ll announce the winners on Friday morning! Then come Saturday it’s Snowbound time!
Just look at how they are bundled! Pinks, ivory and browns, greens, ivory and browns, and blues, ivory and browns. Bundles of fat quarters from heaven by color!
You deserve a bundle if you can stay with me through this video. It was the end of the day and suddenly Moda Gene put the video camera in my booth. On the spot I had to talk about my fabric line. I was SO not expecting that. I wonder if you ever get used to a video camera? Go ahead and laugh a little. Can’t believe I actually did the thing with the satin at the end but you’ll get the picture!

The fabric bundles are beautiful, so I think I will choose green. You will love Germany; it’s one of my favorite European countries to visit!

You’re a natural, Anne! Well done for being on the spot! I’m going right over to order some of the texture fabric for stitchery! Oh – and just in case luck is on my side – I’d love the green bundle!
Cheers!

Oh, my, I love them all but the green is simply stunning!! Please, please pick me for the green… or any of the others.. LOL
Mary Meats
I so love everything…I’m not picky, however, if green is available, I would love green. If not, I would love whatever!! I love your BOM freebies and your blog. Thanks for all your hard work.

Have a great trip. I would absolutely love to have the greens. I’m not sure if the next quilt I need to make will be pink or blue, so green is always good.

Great baby line … I love the pink and brown.
Siobhan
I loved the video! It’s fun to see you ‘in person’–kind of. :) I’d love the green if I had to choose between the three color ways.
Enjoy your trip to Europe, and congrats to your son!
Sara
I love the light blues, very neutral and pretty.
Michele
Congrats on your son’s wedding! I’d love any of the bundles, but I think my fave is the green.
Carol
Since you insist that we choose a color . . . I would choose the green although I love, love, love the pink and blue also! Oh the choices we must make in life! Thanks so much.
Ina
Anne, I just watched the video…I didn’t see anything wrong with it. As a matter of fact, I thought you did great!
Amy Henderson
As a newbie quilter, I would LOVE to get my hands on either of those 3 beautiful fabric choices….but I like the pink one the best! Have a great trip!

From the moment I discovered your blog a couple of months ago I wanted to say Hi! for a job more than well done and because I feel like we have met. I love your work, I love your dogs, and I love your writting. At this moment I am GREEN with envy for your fabric line. Please enjoy your trip, use it to create more fabric lines and don’t worry about the video: you just proved that you have camera presence.

I have to get/win some of this fabric as I have two “grand-dogs” named Lily and Willie. We are leaving for Germany next week also. Maybe I’ll see you there (I will recognize you by your shoes from a previous post). Pink…green…blue…love it all.
Ina
Hi Anne, I have 2 nephews. One is 20 months old and the other turns 1 yr old in 2 weeks. I would like to win the green FQ bundle. It looks like toddler fabric to me…I bought ‘Sweet Dreams Lilly’ last week at Thimble Creek. I just need the green fabric to make the pattern! ;0
Have fun in Europe. If you get the chance, visit the city of Bath. You will be transported back in time to Jane Austen’s ‘Persuasion’ and ‘Pride and Prejudice’. It is a city that will take your breath away!
Jean
Great give-away! I would love the green! I can’t stand having my picture taken so if someone would have put a video camera in my face I would have been under the bed! You did just fine!!!
di
Excellent video! Very informative to those of us who were not able to make it to market – will make sure to talk to our Moda rep about it!
Thanks for the opportunity to win a bundle – green would be my favorite one!
Bravo to Gene Stewart on the video – know that voice anywhere!
Mary F
I just love them all, but with a grandchild in mind and no idea when or what gender, I’ll choose green! Thanks so much!
Michele
I enjoyed your video! Love the seeing the actual fabrics and how you used them throughout all your display samples! Congratulations on your new fabric line! I am sure it is already a big hit. :)

Anne,
What a great beginning with Moda! Lily and Will is gorgeous. I look forward to seeing the different textures and exploring the possibilities. I hope that you have a wonderful time at your son’s wedding and that your first European visit is enjoyable and inspirational! Can’t wait to hear about it! Oh, congratulations of winning the booth award. Well deserved!
Jacque
You did just fine in front of the camera..
I hope you blog about your trip. I have never been to Europe and will share it thru your comments..
As for your generous give away.. I will take any of the 3 – they are all lovely and I could put all of them to good use.
HAVE FUN.

Anne,
your stuff is just wonderful. That’s all I can say except I would pick the “green” fabric if I were to win.

Dani
I love your new line. I think I would have to choose the green bundle :). I will look forward to watching the video soon. Have a great trip to Germany!
Dee
How adorable! I used to suck on my blankie when I was little so I understand. I particularly liked the blue and brown fabrics. I think they’re great even for adults. And I’m going to have to get myself some of your trim. I love it!
Karen
I love them all and can’t pick just one. Surprise me! (I love surprises!)
Plume de Chat
Thanks a lot, Anne, for this giveaway! The fabrics are so gorgeous! I love them all so choose for me…
I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful trip in Europe! Enjoy the time with your family!

I would love to make a baby quilt with the green bundle. Thanks for the chance to win.
Chris
Have a great trip to Germany. And remember, as the mother of the groom you have only 2 tasks-wear beige and shut up. Soemone told me that when my son got married! As for your fabulous fabirc, it would be green I like best.
Bonnie
Just stick your hand in and pull one out for me……and yes, I must admit, I did laugh — through my drool!!
Tina
Wow – a trip to Europe, how absolutely exciting! You are such a busy lady that I can barely keep up with you. When do you sleep? Wishing you a wonderful time at your son’s wedding. Please consider me for the pink color way (it’s taken me 15 minutes to make up my mind -they are all truly beautiful!)
Colleen
I never win things…but I DO love this new line of fabric! I have a guest room we call ‘the bunny room’, my neice Amy named it for us and that pink material would look great in there! Have a great time in Europe…take tons of photos and buy some fabric. It makes the best reminders at home of happy times.
Molly
Wow, good video! Your fabric is gorgeous–so sophisticated and soft, ahhhh. I love the green especially.

Luv, luv, luv your new baby line. Have two grandbabies in diapers – a girl and a boy. So any color would be great. Also, can’t wait to get some of the satin ruffle and yardage.

I love each of the packets and would be honored to use any of the colors. I love to sew for babies and I love the satin binding on the waffle cloth it is so perfect!!Have a great trip to Germany. HUgs and dblessings, Marie
Vicky
Safe travels on your trip. Sounds like fun! Love the fabric. I’d be happy with any of them!
Melissa C
Love your fabric. I would have to pick green right now, followed so close by the pink.
Darlette
Wow they are so beautiful I love all of them I love green… but I have just Girls so I like Pink too… well is too hard they are so good.
Kathy
Oh I love all the colorways of your fabric line. My favorite color is green, so I’ll say green today. But I really do like them all!
Mary Durham
The fabric is gorgeous! My very first grandchild is one week old today and the pink would make something very special for her.
Thanks for showing all the great pictures of market.
Janis T
Great video! Your new fabric line is beautiful. I’d love to win the pink bundle to make something for my granddaughter.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Elizabeth E.
Well, I never win anything, so this note is to say congrats to you on your first fabric line AND on the wedding of your son. Our last son got married last year, and the tears were not only tears of happiness, but the realization that I was pretty much done with the raising of this fine child.
Your line is beautiful and I don’t know how you held up in the video–talking for three minutes plus is sooo hard. You did fine, though. Thanks for all your hard work, and have fun in Germany!
