“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!

Chelsea is soo cute. And boy do they all (our pets) know how to get under our skin. But the love they return in priceless. I have 2 dogs – Piper and Crystal. Piper is a mini pin / jack russel mix. She very loving but very bossy! Crystal is our Lab/Border collie mix. Piper is the boss over Crystal which is rather funny. We also have a cat that is orange and white named Garfield and he is big and fat. You can’t see his feet when he sits. We couldn’t have named him better. We also have 2 other cats that came together to our home. We went for one which is Brownie (a black cat) but there was a sweet little kitty with one eye that had been thrown from a car that no one wanted to rescue so we adopted her too. We named her Sparkle and she is the most loving cat I know. Last but not least is my “husbands” guinea pig. She only squeaks when he pulls in the driveway and that’s because he’s spoiled her and cuts her fresh grass when he gets home from the yard. Totally not making this up. He’s Mr. Tough guy and tries to pretend she’s not his but Mollie is under his skin! We live in Apex, NC and it awesome here. We are about 20 min from Raleigh. Thanks for pattern, info on your hometown with Chelsea and your chance for TREATS. :)

Oh my – your Lily quilt is wonderful! I especially love the striped fabric borders and binding. Will have to make this soon! I live in New Orleans and have several four-legged creative helpers: Bailey, Missi (short for Mississippi) and McKenzie (named for a beloved, but no longer with us New Orleans bakery) – the canine helpers; and Moxie, the queen-of-all-she-surveys feline helper.
