Twinkle Toes
Have you seen the newest girl’s quilt at Bunny Hill? I’ve named it Twinkle Toes and it’s from my new fabric line Lily & Will Revisited. The idea for Twinkle Toes started the day my grand-daughter Alyssa came running up to my studio to show me her new pointe shoes. She could hardly wait to put them on! She’d worked so hard and waited so long to get these shoes. The shoes were magical and her excitement was contagious! I’d been working on quilt ideas for my Lily & Will Revisited fabric line, and watching Alyssa dance around my studio in those shoes, put the idea of a ballet quilt in my head! I went…

In My Studio Now
I have some of my favorite fabrics on my studio shelves now. They are calling my name, waiting for samples to be made. It’s Lily & Will Revisited in pink, gray and Bunny Hill Blue. Pretty in pink, Beautiful in blue, Elegant in gray, Put them all together and it’s a Lily & Will Revisited Bundle! I feel like I should order bolts for my own personal stash building, because this fabric won’t come again. What if I decide several years from now, I need to make curtains from this beautiful gray Cottontail Toile? Or, maybe a duvet cover from this Cottontail Toile? And a dust ruffle from this beautiful stripe? Did…

Glitter Houses & Sugar Stars
I love Glitter Houses, and I’ve collected many throughout the years. I have a vintage collection mixed in with new, and my Christmas decorating always centers around these houses. My newest fabric line, Sugar Plum Christmas, has a soft side that you can see when you combine the pink, gray, and ivory fabrics. These are the fabrics I used to create Glitter Houses, one of my new quilts. In shades of pink and gray it’s going to be a shabby chic, pink Christmas! I’ve embellished Glitter Houses with crystals and pearls that sparkle with highlights when reflected in the light. If you love pink and grey as much as I do, you’ll have so much fun…

A Trip to Moda
I call the month of August my “Moda home” month because I finally got to tour the home base. I was in Dallas to attend the Open House that Moda hosts for quilt shops. I’ve heard amazing things from other designers who have visited Moda, but I just couldn’t grasp what it felt like until we pulled up to these doors… Moda has 2 main warehouses and you’re looking at warehouse #1, the entrance to “heart” of Moda. It’s the design warehouse and it’s here new fabric lines begin. Look at the boxes of fabrics that had just arrived from a container ship. I couldn’t believe it when Cheryl told me that my fall market fabric line was…

Kindred Spirits has shipped
Moda started shipping Kindred Spirits last Friday! You’ll be able to find it in quilt shops by next week. When Moda says shipping in August they really mean it. UPS trucks are carrying United Notion boxes all over the country filled with Kindred Spirit fabric. Hey UPS guys, the heavier the box, the more Kindred Spirit fabric inside…it’s a good thing! Stack up those boxes on your dolly and roll them right in. As soon as I heard Kindred Spirits had shipped, I started tracking the boxes coming to Bunny Hill. I can’t believe it! I leave for Wisconsin on Wednesday for a week of sewing fun with friends, and UPS…
