Jelly Beans in red, white and blue
Celebrate Memorial Day with my Jelly Beans sheep in red and blue! It’s my Jelly Beans Mini Quilt using red, white and blue Cottontail Cottage fabrics. Wouldn’t it be fun to make this mini quilt to celebrate every USA holiday? (Get more creative and piece the center sheep in red and blue strips before you applique, then put your favorite party on top.) This little mini quilt finishes at 11″ x 15 1/2″. You’ll find a Cottontail Cottage Fat Quarter Bundle in red, white and blue on my website. If you order this bundle, I’ll include enough of the brown fabrics to make this charming little quilt. Happy Memorial…

Little Traveller
A few weeks ago I received a special book in the mail, sent to me by the Australian artist Simone Gooding. It’s called Little Traveller, and I’m one of the lucky ones who received an advance copy! This book is filled with so many cute things I immediately signed up for Simone Gooding’s Instagram hop! I’m excited because I’m going to make something from her book! I’ve picked my supplies, and I’m ready to sew. It’s the perfect time to celebrate this book “Little Traveller” because everything in the book would be perfect for a unique Easter basket. My intention is to make something for each of my grand-daughters, but I’m not sure…

I wish I could make everyone who entered the Moda/Bunny Hill contest a winner! There were so many cute stockings it was really hard to choose! And because there were so many great entries I added four runner-ups for a total of seven winners! I’ll be shipping prizes out all week! So here we go, are you ready? First place winner is Shannon Cogswell from Fullerton, California Shannon entered way more blocks than this one, each as special as the one before. I selected her mouse not only for its cuteness but also because it’s going to look so ADORABLE in our surprise mystery quilt! We’re re-making her block using…

How will I choose?
I knew most of you are talented and good at applique, but I had no idea how many of you are such good designers! The blocks coming in for my stocking contest are so good I’m going to have to have a committee to help me choose just 3. Think about it, the stockings are fairly small, about the size of what you might hang on a tree, and the entire block is only 8″ finished! But what this group has filled them with amazes me! Here are a few that just came in. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have! Look at…
