It’s finally a Quilt!
Snowmen are coming to town this holiday season! It’s Snowbound time at Bunny Hill! There’s nothing like finishing a quilt and being able to finally use it!

You can easily create height with a few empty boxes, some scraps of your favorite quilting fabric, ribbon and pins. You can reuse the fabric after Christmas so don’t worry about…

My husband drug out all the boxes, stacked them in the center of the garage and asked “are you doing the bears this year?” ” Think I’ll skip a year” I said. “Maybe they’re getting a bit old, year after year.” And then tonight I found these pictures… “So you’re done now, right? I can put all these boxes away?” “Yes, all finished!”, I said. But that was before I found the photos. I don’t have the heart to tell him my little friends can’t sit outside in plastic bins. I don’t know where I’ll put them now that…
