Wrapped Up in Fabric
Windsor Lane is in the studio! The colors remind me of a candy store! Just yummy! There’s a scripted alphabet in four different colors and a paisley that will make you go crazy! I’m wrapped up in fabric and loving every minute. I can’t wait to show you more! There is someone in the studio who hates it when I get new fabric… Chelsea’s feeling so neglected I might have to make her a Windsor Lane treat :>) Back soon with more to show! Anne

Scrappy Plates
If you’ve followed along you should have your Scrappy Plate Quilt almost finished! Can you believe how easy it was? I’ve wanted to make a Dresden quilt forever and I’ve put it off because it looked like so much work. Once I tried the Dresden ruler I knew I was hooked. The ruler really makes it easy! I hope you’ve all had a wonderful time making your own quilt. Will you add a scallop or keep the border plain? Decisions, decisions! You’ll find the pattern for the scallop by clicking here Scrappy Plates Part Four! To all of my readers who suggested books to read in my last post,…

Share your “reads” with me
Two of my favorite past-times: Looking through magazines or reading a good book. It’s what I do every evening to unwind from the day. I’m getting desperate for more books to read so if you’ve read a good book share it! Mysteries are my favorite but I’m open to any good book. I love a series so I can read on when I’m done with one book. I’m reading Lisa Gardener’s book called Catch Me. I’ve read almost all of James Paterson and the whole Stephanie Plum series from Janet Evanovich. I know there must be book lovers out there reading away and enjoy books I haven’t read. Help!…

Mollie Makes #12
Everything stops at Bunny Hill when Federal Express brings the new Mollie Makes. It’s such a happy magazine and we love to pour through the pages. Issue #12 arrived yesterday, a little early in the month! It’s filled with ideas and projects for spring and Easter and I think you will love it! I saw the Crochet Flower Brooch on the cover and I just wanted to stop working and make one! Too cute and I can crochet! Then we all saw the little felt lamas went crazy! Aren’t they the cutest things ever? The pattern is in the magazine. Here’s an idea… As soon as we’re done with all…

Wool & Dresdens
If you’re attending the Paducah Quilt Show next month be sure and search for Karolyn Reker’s version of YoYoville. She “fussy cut” little critters for the windows and doors of the houses on the border! Look how cute these are! I haven’t seen all the critters yet so I’m counting on you to take photos for me if you’re going to the show. Think of the fun Karolyn had searching for all the critter fabrics! Our “Bunny Hill” Kim amazed us yesterday with more of her Dresden blocks. She used wool for the centers and machine appliqued the entire block. She widened the stitch width a little when she…

Scappy Plates Update
It’s that crazy time before market when my blog posts begin to dwindle. I apologize in advance and I’ll try to do better, but I do have a good excuse. I’m working on new designs! Maybe not as you envision because I won’t have any fabric until April. No rotary cutters, thread or sewing machines are involved now. All I have are fabric scans that I’m using to fill my drawings and hopefully make a computerized version of the quilts I picture in my head. It’s a strange way of working and I prefer the real fabric but I know I’m not alone. Lots of other designers have…
