Moda Pillow Talk
Hi Everyone! Welcome to Pillow Talk at Bunny Hill! The creative mind behind “Pillow Talk” is Lissa Alexander the marketing director at Moda! She dreams up things for us to do in her sleep. No wonder she’s calling this “Pillow Talk”! We never know what she’ll dream up next! This time she’s given us questions to answer – like what we do to relax, do we like pajamas, something about us you might not know, do we sew in bed…
…So grab your jammies, your favorite pillow and come on over for some Pillow Talk! Of course you may have to share a bed with Bitsy or Chelsea…
…or, maybe Max, Mooch or Topsy. I’m such an animal lover!
We can’t stay up too late talking because I go to bed early. I get up at 5AM every morning. It’s my favorite time of day and I’ll still be in my jammies. Yep, that’s right I love jammies. See if you can pick out the real Anne Sutton in the photos below…
Did you guess? My husband picked the one on the bottom left. He’s very funny isn’t he?
Lissa asked us to design a pillow for Fall market that “represented us”. It was hard to decide on a pillow because sometimes I’m funny and other times I’m pratical. Funny won and I decided to make a LARGE bunny. Surprise! I made a bunny pillow that my husband could use when I travel. It holds his nose strips and his remote control (both he can never be without). I carried this giant bunny in my luggage all the way to Houston and back. He’s bigger than Bitsy and Chelsea put together.
Chelsea asked my DH to add a few treats to the pocket the next time I travel so she won’t miss me as much! That dog is just so smart!
Today I’m sharing something I love to sew; lavender pillow sachets made with charm squares!
You can stack them to scent your favorite room…
or fill a pretty jar to decorate a special corner…
…or make a few for little Valentine gifts!
Just fill with lavender and decorate with a vintage button.
I love lavender sachets don’t you?
If you’d like to make some sachets yourself you can plug in this cord…
…(if you’re the lucky winner) and iron a package of Lily & Will charm squares with your new Oliso iron!
One of you is going to win this iron can you believe it? It’s my “dream” iron and Oliso has generously donated one for a giveaway! Hop on over to Oliso’s FaceBook page and say thank you! Or, if you’re not on Facebook, visit the Oliso website and watch the video to see this iron in action. Leave a comment on this post telling me why you’d like to win and I’ll announce the lucky winner on Tuesday! Thank you Oliso for making such a wonderful iron! Everyone at Bunny Hill has this iron and we all agree…we love it!
Just a few more questions left to answer…how about “do you sew in bed?” What’s up with that question? How does Lissa think we get everything done! Of course I sew in bed!
“How many nights do you or your spouse spend on the couch?” Lissa obviously hasn’t been to my house. It’s a big O. There’s never any room!
What’s something you might not know about me? I’m going to be a grandmother again! My son Doug and his wonderful wife Elke are expecting their first baby at the end of May and it’s a girl! My new grand-daughter will speak German, English and maybe a little French because Doug and Elke live in Germany. How do you say “I’m so excited” in German?
Hmm…where did I put my IPad? I’m reading such a good book! Pillow Talk is over at Bunny Hill and it’s time to relax.

Loved the bunny pillow – the perfect thing for your husband when you are away.
The iron – well as a quilt teacher – I cannot stress the importance of WELL PRESSED seams. I am a stickler for it and nothing pleases me more than having my students show me their work (with well pressed seams). So what would I do with the iron – a teaching tool of course!!!! Making sure that the word continues to be passed on – USE A GOOD IRON and PRESS WELL – always!. Thanks again for such wonderful patterns, inspiration and other fun stuff.

I love to iron and would be thrilled to be using such an awesome machine as this. It would be such great timing, as my iron just recently started spitting at me. I found your website at the begining of the Snowbound series and fell in love with both applique and your site. Thank you!

lovely bunnies the pillow is THE BEST and who can beat your slippers? `Ziggy’ is my idol, I think he has the same slippers.
My hands are shakingat the thought of a `real’ iron-in my house-I have been banished from the `good’ iron. I have used the good iron for 1 too many wonder under stuck on -starch laden burnt/scorched-appliaue-fusable web that get stuck on the iron-well you get my problem–he has gotten the iron `a few times’ when I maye had left it on my sewing table with some `issues’ and he `touches up’ his work clothes… and well he acts like the worlsw is going to end… and banishes me form that goood iron..so he gets me this wee little travel iron that barely heats up will not melt wonder under…
