• New Moda Dottie

    Moda’s just shipped the most beautiful bundles of Dottie fabric ever. Dots and dots and more dots. The great thing about these new dots is they are part of Moda’s basic fabric line.  That means we’ll be able to get them for a long time.  I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of them.   To give you a sampling of the new Dottie fabrics, we’ve added some mini charm packs to our website. They make me feel like making a Dottie quilt.  Just little squares of dots, with white sashing.  How fun would that be? Have a great weekend everyone.  I’ll be back on Monday to show you what’s…

  • Looks like peppermint candy!

    Are you ready?  I’ve got a surprise for you! Introducing WINTER WONDERLAND, my newest fabric line for Moda. In red & white bundles, jelly rolls, charm packs and mini charms I think you’re going to love it. At the bottom of the fat quarter bundle you’ll find the cutest Snowman panels! I’ve been busy making quilts with this line and now I’m finishing up patterns.  It’s been so much fun!   I’ll give you some sneak peeks soon. I’m taking time to visit PIQF (Pacific International Quilt Show) in Santa Clara tomorrow.   Can’t wait to see all of the quilts! Have a great weekend everyone. Anne

  • Celebration

    Designer Select Bundle I had fun choosing the “Celebration” fabrics for my Designer Select fat quarter bundle over at Fat Quarter Shop.  If there’s such a thing as a happy fabric line, “Celebration” is it!  You can see the bundle we put together on the Jolly Jabber blog today.   Just figure out what I said that’s a “lie” and you could win a bundle.  Kits are almost ready! It’s been a week of making kits at Bunny Hill.    We’re putting together kits for “The Cat’s Meow”, “Doggone Cute” and the boy and girl “Celebration” quilts.  Just look at our cutting table! These should be on our website by this…

  • Little Updates

    Celebration I just realized my Celebration fabric is arriving in a week.  It’s time to make room for it, so be sure and check the “sale” section of my website to see what we’re clearing out. Through the Woods “Through the Woods at Christmas” wool applique kits are back in stock.   If you’ve already purchased this kit, it should have arrived in your mail box this week.  As soon as you stitch it up and frame it, here’s an idea:  Hang it in front of a vintage window.  (This vintage window just happens to be on the wall in my studio right next to my computer, so all it took…

  • Bring in the new

    It gets so crazy around here right before market.  You’d think I’d be used to it, but it never ceases to amaze me.  It’s market frenzy time and it takes every minute I have to get ready.  My husband cooks, feeds the pets, shops and takes care of the house, just so I can design quilts and write patterns.  Bless his heart, it’s a routine we automatically fall into.  I couldn’t do it without him. I’ve been sewing with my newest fabric line from Moda called Celebration.  I’ve designed Celebration with 2 colorways;  one for boys and one for girls.  Celebration for boys…     …with elephants in red, blue…

  • Are you sitting down?

    Make sure you are sitting down.  This is a photo of the colors of Moda Bella that I’ve been working with for the past 2 weeks. I know you won’t believe it but these colors “go” with my next Moda fabric line! Do you see that red at the bottom of the stack?  It has me doing the happy dance! Red!  In case you didn’t know it,  I love red.  I love pink more, but red is right behind pink on my scale of must have colors. I’ll give you sneak peeks as soon as I can.  Happy Monday! Anne
