Just a few squirrely friends
We all have a few squirrely friends don’t we? Ha! Right now all my friends are wondering if I consider them squirrely. The dictionary defines squirrely (yes it’s slang) as being eccentric, flighty and maybe a bit odd. Think about this…Henrietta doesn’t see a thing wrong with being squirrely. Most of her friends are squirrely and so this month I’m giving a new meaning to the word! squir-rel-y: -adjective, fun loving and full of joy. Able to leap tall pumpkins in a single bound. The perfect friend. Block Six: Henrietta’s Squirrely Friends We’re 2/3rds through the quilt with this block not counting the border…have you been keeping up? …

One week and counting!
It’s crazy right now! 1 week and counting before quilt market and everyone I know is scrambling to get things done. I leave for Salt Lake City on Tuesday! It’s exciting to think of so many new things under one roof! The last time we attended market in Salt Lake, the city welcomed us with open arms. Salt Lake we love you! If you saw my newsletter you heard that my newest block of the month isn’t quite ready. Think about this…some of the fabric for Raining Cats and Dogs just arrived on Saturday! That’s right, I’ve been waiting and waiting for it to get here and the quilt blocks…

Happy April 5th!
Can you believe it’s April 5th? It’s Henrietta Whiskers day here at Bunny Hill! I have a drop in class today for Henrietta Whiskers at In-Between Stitches in Livermore, California. The nicest group of ladies attend and today I’m doing a demo on machine applique. Have you tried machine applique using DMC machine embroidery 50 wt. thread? It’s so much fun, and of course really, really fast! If you don’t have the DMC thread see if you have any Mettler 60wt. and then click on my tutorial section. You’ll find a simple “how to” for machine applique. We’ll be using machine applique a lot during the next few weeks…

Henrietta is Back!
It’s March 5th can you believe it? Henrietta’s back in block number 3 of my Henrietta Whiskers mystery quilt. She’s been working away to entice you to join us! How can you resist those little acorns in her cart? I can’t wait to show you how she looks when she’s quilted! She left for the quilter yesterday and she’ll be home before too long. I’ll update you with the photos of the quilted blocks as soon as I have them! The fabric for Henrietta, Lilac Hill and Antique Fair should be in quilt shops soon, if not already! I know it seems like it’s taking forever, but at least you’ve…

Henrietta Updates & Class
Wow, some of you are working fast on the Henrietta quilt. You already have your backgrounds pieced! I’m really amazed! For the rest of you please remember the general instructions are just that…general. You’ll get the exact cutting directions every month with each block. Don’t feel like you need all the backgrounds pieced at once. You can do them as you go along. Because some of you are such super fast quilters we’ve caught 3 mistakes in the General Directions for Henrietta Whiskers. Henrietta is so glad you took the time to email me! She’s driving me crazy because every time she sees an email with her name in…

Who’s that Squirrel? It’s Henrietta Whiskers!
Let’s have some fun! Join me in the Henrietta Whiskers Club! Can you imagine a cute little squirrel with a winning personality? I can, and I’ve put her in my newest applique quilt! It’s Henrietta and she’s so excited to be here! She’s the new Bunny Hill free block of the month for 2011! I just hope all this attention doesn’t go to her head. I can’t imagine that it will because she’s just so sweet. It’s been a little over a year since my “Name That Squirrel” contest; November 2009 to be exact. Twila Dockter from South Dakota was the winner of the contest and the name she…
