Sugar Plum Stocking Treats
If you’re sitting around with not much to do this afternoon, hop on over to my website and click on the “free” pattern page! What is Sugar Plum Stocking Treats you ask? It’s one of those applique quilts that I occasionally design as a free pattern! But this time, instead of it being a block of the month, I’ve made it a block of the week! I’m letting you know about this pattern a month ahead of time so you can get prepared! Print out the information page and materials list. If you read about it now, you’ll have time to choose your fabrics, pick your layer cake and get ready to…

How will I choose?
I knew most of you are talented and good at applique, but I had no idea how many of you are such good designers! The blocks coming in for my stocking contest are so good I’m going to have to have a committee to help me choose just 3. Think about it, the stockings are fairly small, about the size of what you might hang on a tree, and the entire block is only 8″ finished! But what this group has filled them with amazes me! Here are a few that just came in. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have! Look at…

Sugar Plum Christmas
I’ve been waiting for almost a year (that’s how long it takes for fabric to get from the design board to the bolt) and the Sugar Plum Christmas bolts have finally shipped from Moda! Your local quilt shop should have it very soon! UPS is also delivering boxes of fabric to Bunny Hill so we can cut it into some special kits. One kit you already know about (Glitter Houses), but the other kits I can’t tell you about yet! All in good time :>) Many of the fabrics from Sugar Plum Christmas are sold out at Moda and we won’t be able to get them again. So my advice…

Three Weeks
I have just spent the most incredible three weeks with these two little girls! Both speak English and German (yes, even Maya who is only 2). We baked chocolate chip cookies, colored pictures, played Candy Land, went for walks, picked roses and played with every toy I have. So many memories were made and they will have to last for another year. …and every morning, wind, rain or shine, Maya walked Chelsea with Milkshake with me. I hated to say goodbye. Seeing them is such pure joy and saying goodbye is so painful. I feel like this every time they come here, or I go to visit and it takes me…
