“I Love Candy” Moda Blog Hop
Hi everyone! Welcome to the Moda Blog Hop and Bunny Hill. When Chelsea heard this was about our hometown and Moda Candy she got so excited! She begged me to let her show you around and there’s no keeping that dog out of things when she decides she wants in. She’s been after the “Candy” I’ve had stashed for my giveaway ever since I brought it home. Maybe she’ll forget the “Candy” if I let her show you around.
We live in the San Francisco Bay area in a town called Discovery Bay. No one really knows where Discovery Bay is except for the 13,000 that live here. It’s not even a an official city yet but we like it that way. If you drive in the San Francisco Bay area you are guaranteed to find freeways filled with traffic but Discovery Bay doesn’t have a freeway. We drive through country roads where the only traffic is created by driving behind a slow tractor on a 2 lane road.
OK Chelsea, show them where we live!
Here’s a map of the San Francisco Bay area and Discovery Bay. Wait! I think Chelsea’s standing on our house! Chelsea move over please!
At one end of town you’ll find waterways…inlets coming in off the River Delta with houses lining the waterways. You can walk out your back door, jump in and swim because these inlets are fresh water. This is only a few blocks from our house but poor Chelsea hates to swim so we try to stay away from this area. Being the brave dog she is, she agreed to jump in just for the purpose of this picture.
…At the other end of town you’ll find acres of farmland.
Chelsea loves to visit the fruit orchards and vegetable stands. She’s really into chasing birds healthy eating.
Chelsea get out of those onions! (…sorry but she likes to pick out her own veggies.)
Bunny Hill is located inside my Discovery Bay home. The studio is on the upper floor of my house so it’s not open to the public. Chelsea’s been trying to get me to open a store but I know her reasons are a bit one sided…more attention. She gets enough attention already. She sleeps in a little drawer right by my desk and she get pets from everyone all day long.
She’s active in my design work and often puts in her 2 cents worth when I’m designing.
She personally checks my fabric when it arrives…gives it the sniff test to see if it passes.
Yesterday when I got out the Moda Candy, Chelsea was so excited! She’s been watching these little bundles ever since I brought them home! I can’t blame her, just look at these cute little packages of 2 1/2″ squares of fabric. They are perfect for making a dog bed doll quilt, miniature wall quilt, table topper, pincushions, small totes…you get the idea.
If Chelsea will give up some of this “Candy” you could win a few to make a cute miniature quilt like this one!
Don’t worry, I’ll make her part with some Candy and we’ll add it to our giveaway.
You’ll find the FREE pattern for this Candy quilt below:
So what are we giving away? One of you is going to win this beautiful bundle of WINDSOR LANE and three of you are going to win some Windsor Lane Moda Candy to make my Sweet Lily quilt. We’ll announce the winners on September 15th so be sure and check back.

Hi Anne! Wow, Chelsea is a girl on the go isn’t she? I can see why she needs a sleeping drawer after swimming for a photo op and shopping for veggies!!! Just seeing her busy day made me tired, LOL. Thanks so much for the adorable pattern, way cute! Thanks too for a chance, however small given the number of comments here *sigh*…Ah well, I live in a little town in Utah about 40 miles north of Salt Lake City. I currently have two sweet furry babes, both girls, on Schnauzer 12 years old next Jan. named Fraulien Friskie and her younger sister a Schnauzer/Poodle mix we rescued when she was 15 months old and barely alive. That sweeties name is Sadie Jo and she will be 8 years old next month. Funny thing about us finding her was we didn’t know her name until we said we wanted her and when they told us, my hubby said “See, it was meant to be”. You see, my middle name is Jo and I have a daughter who’s middle name is also Jo. So after we got Sadie Jo, it is just like Pettycoat Junction around here, *wink*. Big Hugs to you and scratches to all your furry babes.
***by the way, we may be getting a cat from a shelter or rescue group very soon as my both my doctors and all the research says that cats are a huge help in calming stress and pain in people with auto-immune diseases such as Lupus, Scleroderma, MS, etc. I have always loved cats so I’m very tickled with the thought of having one, maybe two, to keep me company along with my current ‘kids’, in my sewing room or where ever I am in the house.

This is my favorite comment question so far ! We have kitties named Bobo and Tippy. Bobo started out as “Hobo” when he showed up at our back door 6 years ago at 7 am and 7 pm every day. He kept coming back but was afraid of us and it took 4 months to gain his trust. Once we did and he came into our house to be part of our family, our daughter said, “You can’t call him “hobo” any more, Mom”. But he already knew his name. We tried “Bobo” and he couldn’t tell the difference–tee-hee! (Please tell Chelsea I love her!).
