I have a new family!
It’s possible to have two families and be very, very happy! I have two families and I can’t stop smiling! When I saw this ad in “Quilter’s Newsletter Magazine” I started that “pinch me now” thing I have going. I’ll never get used to the excitement of joining the wonderful Moda family! I’m keeping the ad around so that when my “first” family gives me trouble I can hold it up and threaten to go live with my “second” family. There must be a little space in that huge Moda warehouse of fabric I could “room” in. Or, maybe I could live in the room of vintage textiles I’ve heard about. One can…

Oh Baby you’re so sophisticated!
I’ve been talking about it for weeks, you’ve seen the patterns by now, and I’ve even given some fabric away. But have you seen it close-up? Every single fabric? It’s such a treat to have my name on this selvage! I’m in love with twins, can you imagine? Lily & Will have been taking up most of the Bunny Hill studio for quite awhile. Finally, here they are right out of the Moda catalog! Introducing Lily & Will Luscious pinks for Lily, beautiful blues for Will, and the prettiest green ever for those of us who love green!

Fabric from Sample Spree
It’s June 1st and I can hardly believe it! I leave for Germany next week for my son’s wedding! In just seven more days I’ll be on my first trip to Europe. I just couldn’t be more excited! When I think of all the things I need to get done before I leave it’s a little overwhelming, but it’s like that before any trip don’t you think? I have lists of things to take care of before I leave, and getting on that airplane will seem so unreal to me! I’ve never been to Europe so I have no idea what to expect! Bunny Hill will still be open, orders…

A Messy Business
This neat little stack of fabric… Has become this… My studio is a disaster. There are fabric scraps all over, pieces on the floor, freezer paper rolls, pins and markers everywhere. Believe it or not this is what I call designing. It’s a state of controlled chaos. I do it all at once; picking fabric, drawing the designs, writing the pattern, prepping the appliqué, choosing embellishments, and on and on. Really, sometimes I think I’m nuts. The good news is this… By the time this little mess gets into your hands it will look a whole lot better and I’ll have a clean studio. Today I’m going to watch Julia…
