Obsessions: What are yours?
Obsessions other than fabric…what are yours? What makes you crazy when you see it? What’s the one thing you can’t resist buying? Maybe clothes, shoes, dishes, thread, floss, scissors, books or magazines? Do you obsess about something else? I can’t be the only one with a few obsessions can I? Fess up! My secret obsession is… Paper and Pens! I love pretty notebooks, fine paper, special pens and I just can’t help myself. Last week my UPS man delivered the most wonderful box of paper and pens. It was like Christmas. I wish you could feel the smoothness of the paper. It’s so yummy. And the colors,…

Bunny Hill Meets Holly Hill!
What a weekend I had at Holly Hill Quilt Shoppe in West Linn, Oregon. I’d move to Portland if I could, just to live near this shop! When I walked in and saw the Bunny Hill section I couldn’t believe it. What an incredible display! And then I walked over to the French General section… …and what to my wondering eyes should appear but a miniature sleigh and tiny reindeer… It’s my Night Before Christmas Quilt and tons of fabric! Upstairs is the most beautiful classroom ever! The classroom is large with lots of windows. I could be Snowbound here forever! …and then the classroom filled up with wonderful people…

I’m working on new patterns!
It can’t be several weeks since my last post can it? I’ve been so busy time is flying by! I have too many deadlines and I can’t keep them all straight, but the good news is that out of deadlines come new patterns and fabric! Remember the dots? …the ones I showed you in the last post? I used that orange Moda Dottie on the border of my new quilt! If you love dots as much as I do I think you just might like this one! The pattern is almost done and it will be available at the end of October. I’m calling it Pumpkin Pie! I love pie…

Lily’s at Grandma’s!
One thing for sure, it’s all about baby at Bunny Hill! As I look around there are baby things everywhere. Amazing how these tiny little beings bring such life to a family! Just look at her, isn’t she precious? To say I’m having fun with my granddaughter would be an understatement. At 3 months old she has my heart forever. I wish the smiles, cooing, and blowing bubbles could go on forever. Lily is here until October. She’ll be going on some trips with mom and dad and staying at Grandma’s house in-between trips. I’m in heaven! She’s my new Bunny Hill Baby! Wonder what I can dream up for…

Tomorrow is Miss Lily Day!
This box is sitting in middle of my table. Can you guess what this means? Miss Lily, my new granddaughter arrives from Germany tomorrow! Yeah!!!! I want to parade around singing I’m so excited! Because she’s so little she gets the bassinet seat on Lufthansa! It’s reserved for little ones like her so she can lay down and sleep. Kind of like flying first class! It’s the first time I’ll be able to hold her! She’ll be using her new US passport and I hope Customs welcomes her with open arms and gets her through quickly! Keep your fingers crossed that she gets a “welcome to the US Miss Lilly”!…

Please pass the butter…
I’m in love with this vegetable…just look at it! Isn’t it beautiful? To think that something high in potassium, calcium and iron can also be this beautiful! My husband learned a great trick for cooking these pretties on his fishing trip. The Canadian chef they met cuts them in half before cooking. It cuts the cooking time to about 20 minutes and the end result is a beautiful vegetable ready for the table… Yummm, please pass the butter (or do you prefer mayonnaise?) Another little trick the chef used was to pan fry the artichokes (cut side down) in a bit of olive oil before serving. My husband loves them…
