Hexagons
I was lucky enough to have my grand-daughter Alyssa here for a few hours last week, and the two of us made all these hexies using some of the fabrics I’m using for The Splendid Sampler blocks. We had such great fun, we laughed and giggled the whole time. Alyssa was able to cut hundreds of these hexagons using the Sizzix Big Shot machine and the hexagon die I bought. It was the first time I’ve tried it, so we watched a YouTube video first and then she started cutting. In very little time, she had a charm pack cut into hexagons. Then I taught her how to prepare them using hexagon…

25% off sale
Escape from the daily madness and join me for our 25% off sale today through Sunday. It’s my annual 4th of July sale and I’m having it early so I can celebrate the 4th in relative quiet. Everything on our website is 25% off and earlier this morning I saw this crazed mouse trying to find Bunny Hill! I tried to tell him to go to our website, not to my house. If you haven’t purchased this Spooky Halloween pattern yet, now’s the time to do it. If you feel like you can’t take on the entire quilt, there are 30 wonderful 6″ blocks that you can use for individual projects. By the time we have…

#Iloveartichokes
I live just two hours away from the artichoke capital of the world, Castroville, California. If you visit northern California and you drive to Monterey, you’ll probably drive right through that little town. During the summer months you can buy deep-fried artichoke hearts from stands that spring up for the visitors passing through. I doubt I’ll drive through there without thinking about the funny comments left by so many of you in my last post! Chelsea’s been waiting all weekend to help me to pick the winners of the Cosmo floss. This wasn’t an easy thing to do because I noticed my comments are no longer numbering. I had to do it the old fashioned…

I’ve been thinking about giving my blog a new look for some time now, and I finally decided that no matter what, I had to make time to do it. I hope you like it. Instead of leading you into a single post on the home page, I’ve given you a selection. The current post will always be in the upper left corner. Just click on it and you’ll be there. If you’re looking for something in particular you can use the “Search” tab over in the right side bar. I’m amazed…

the splendid sampler, block 25
The Splendid Sampler Block 25 Welcome to Bunny Hill and block #25 of The Splendid Sampler! If you’re joining me today, we are officially 1/4 of the way through this beautiful quilt! Can you believe it? If for any reason you haven’t started this sampler quilt yet, there’s still plenty of time! If you haven’t even heard about it, you can find the story here. It should come as no surprise that the Bunny Hill block would feature a bunny! Sometimes I just can’t help myself. :) Moda sent me this assortment of beautiful fabrics to use for my block and I loved them from the minute I opened the package. The brown stripe became the bunny and Sunday…

how to make a ruffled table runner
How to Make a Ruffled Table Runner I’m celebrating the month of May and all that it brings to each of us, with a new free pattern from Bunny Hill! I’ll show you how easy it is to make a reversible table runner with a beautiful ruffle on each end. Simplicity is what I’ve named the pattern because it really is simplicity at its best. Just think of all the fabrics you can use to make this, season after season! I’ve used Brenda Riddle’s gorgeous floral and check linen and I love the way it turned out. With floral linen on one side, and a check linen on the other, I’ll have both a…
