Happy Dance Quilt
Some quilts just make me happy! That’s how I felt when I saw Irene Baldock’s version of “A Tisket, A Tasket”. Irene lives in the UK and sent a photo of her finished quilt. I love the fabrics and colors she used! …and here’s another treat! Irene’s version of Henrietta Whiskers! I’m doing the happy dance Irene! I love your quilts! You can see more versions of Henrietta in my Flickr group. You’ll never know how much you all inspire me! A big thank you to each and everyone of you who are making this quilt! Have a great day everyone! Hugs, Anne

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 and Snowbound
Time for a “Snowbound”, the charity pattern update! Most of you downloaded this pattern last year when it was free so I was delightfully surprised when some of you still purchased it in the name of your beloved pets, or just to help an animal in need. I’m amazed by your generosity. “Snowbound” is only being offered through Bunny Hill and not our distributors so quilt shops have to call us directly to order. Maybe one of your local shops have purchased this pattern. If so, I think they deserve a round of applause and if you happen to frequent them a little more often I’m sure they would be…

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…

Behind the quilts
Have you seen these pictures? Design photos! When I design a quilt I take photos as I go along. Photos help me see the blocks in another dimension. It’s kind of like holding your work up to a mirror and looking at it in reverse. Try it and you’ll see what I mean. If something is wrong you should be able to spot it. Remember Yoyoville? I filled glass candy jars with my yoyo’s as I went along. It was fun to do and I fell in love with the look of the jars. When it came time to put them on the quilt I really had to force…
