• Quilt Kits

    If you received our newsletter this morning you know we have new kits available.  Our new kits are so yummy we all want one, even me!  I would love to get a kit in the mail, open it up and be able to start on another quilt.  The thought of working slowly, without the pressure of a deadline just sounds delightful.   Here’s our ABC quilt kit and on the bottom of the package are 20 fat quarters of the prettiest Winsdor Lane fabrics ever.  :>) Inside the ABC kit we’ve included a Chenille needle.  The wording on the quilt calls for 6 strands of embroidery floss and it’s not…

  • Paisley for Baby and Me!

    I’m a paisley snob no doubt about it.  I have certain criteria that must be met before I like a paisley fabric: 1.  The size of the paisley must be right, not too small or large. 2.  It can’t be dense or my eyes will cross. 3.  Must be plenty of background behind the paisley so it stands on its own. 4.  The colors have to be soft like a water-color to speak to me.  :>)   Have you ever thought in such terms when you look at a paisley fabric?   Oh no!  Maybe you’ll become a paisley snob too and you’ll blame me! My love affair with paisley started…

  • Windsor Lane has shipped!

    Wouldn’t you love to visit Moda when a new fabric line arrives to watch them prepare it for shipping?  The process must be exciting to watch and I’m sure Moda has it down to a science.  I can picture bolts and bolts of fabric boxed and ready for shipping, with the friendly UPS man carting them to his truck.  This week it’s Windsor Lane that’s being shipped!   Bolts of each print are arriving at quilt shops this week! Junior Jelly Rolls, Layer Cakes and Charm Squares are just waiting for yardage to arrive! We’ll be making kits with this fabric very soon.  I’ll let you know when we have…

  • One happy dog

    Packages are arriving addressed to Chelsea and I’m sure the mail lady is wondering why.  Chelsea is loving it!  Look at this little mouse that just arrived from Laura Klebs.  It’s hand knit with the softest mohair and it looks so similar to the original grey mouse.   Isn’t it just the sweetest? Or, how about this one?  It’s hand knit by Jennifer over at The Thrifty Needle.  She’s one of my  favorite customers and I couldn’t believe it when she took the time to knit Chelsea a mouse! And then today, all the way from Australia, came this mouse from Melody Daly one of my blog readers.  I love her…

  • “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…
