“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.
All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this blog post telling me where you live and the names of your pets if you have any!

Right now, we only have one pet, a handsome 13 year old Cairn Terrier named Dudley. He’s lived with us 10 years, he’s a rescue and we’re his third owners. He loves to go on walks and to cuddle, he loves his afternoon naps with my husband, too. Lizzie, aka “killer”, just passed. She was 15, a Cairn and a rescue, too. She was a great girl, but couldn’t abide any uninvited critters in the backyard. On her walks she didn’t care, but not in “her” backyard.

I live in Milford, PA and we do not have any official pets right now. However, living in a woodland community in the Pocono Mountains, we have plenty of wildlife that has decided this is a great place to live. We see deer and wild turkeys practically every day. We also have bunnies, foxes, and other small creatures. Bears are around (I have seen two this year), but I am not outside at the right time to see very many (hubby has seen six so far). The most exciting was the Mom and three baby skunks that lived under our shed for a few days. Fingers crossed that we were just their vacation spot because I haven’t seen them lately – the babies were adorable though!!

Anne, what a cute post!! I see you’ve become a photoshop master, too :) Your hometown looks sublime. I’m in the country in the upper midwest, hot in summer but very cold in winter, and I love the seasons. We are just a short drive to malls and cultural events, so we have the best of both here. I am currently between pets, but as you know, Max was my precious little cat for 22 years and still in my heart :)
Thanks for the sweet pattern (hmm, I wonder who inspired the name?) and wonderful giveaway…I just love love those little precuts!
