Put 101 Maple Street on your calendar for August
Tomorrow (May 1) is the last day to pre-order your 101 Maple Street quilt kit! I have to get kit orders into Moda, and of course, I’ll order some extra, but there’s no guarantee you’ll be able to get one if you don’t pre-order. Join in the fun of making this quilt, and you’ll get to meet Quilly and her babies. Quilly isn’t a name I pulled out of thin air, it’s actually the name of a real baby quail my mother rescued and nursed back to health. I remember she loved to take dirt baths (Quilly not my mother). You’ll also meet Henrietta again, and this time she’s gathering pomegranates. She’s…

101 Maple Street
Blend shades of persimmon, bronze, charcoal, and gold, then mix with cream and aqua and you’ll have Fall fabrics Bunny Hill style! Welcome to 101 Maple Street! Mix them all up, add in some Moda basics and you’ve got 101 Maple Street my newest applique quilt! We got the advance yardage about 3 weeks ago from Moda, and my helpers were ready. We had all the freezer paper templates cut ahead of time so we could start the applique prep right away. The quilt just left Bunny Hill yesterday and should arrive at the quilter today! 101 Maple Street is scheduled to go to Quilt Market with me in Portland…

Stocking treats block eleven
Block eleven was designed by our third place winner from the Bunny Hill/ Moda design contest, Lori Weigel! This cute little snowman, reaching for a Christmas ornament, won her third place. And of course, her win gave all of us a chance to make this adorable block! Block Eleven Here’s block eleven in my Sugar Plum Christmas fabric… Here’s Lori’s original block that she submitted for the contest… I love how she’s used my ornament fabric to fussy cut her ornament. Choose your favorite ornament, and you can do the same thing! Or, if you’re using a different material just use a tiny print for your ornament. We’ve added…

stocking treats block ten
It wouldn’t be Christmas without a poinsettia or two. These beautiful flowers fill the season with color, beauty and always remind me of Christmas. I had to include one in our stocking quilt! Block ten is a simple block, but sometimes it’s good to have simple! You should be able to finish this one quickly. Don’t worry if your points don’t meet in the center in absolute perfection because you’ll be sewing 3 buttons to the center after your quilting is complete. Block Ten Here’s block ten in my Sugar Plum Christmas fabric. This was actually the first block I designed for this quilt. It wasn’t until I had all the…

stocking treats block nine
Birds and berries go together and for block nine we’ve included both…a combination of our Christmas bird and Christmas berries! Block Nine Here’s block nine in our Sugar Plum Christmas fabric! Look how close we are getting to the end of this quilt! After today, we only have 3 more blocks to go! I can’t believe we’ve come this far. Don’t worry if you haven’t kept up. There’s still plenty of time to finish and if you can’t finish this year, put it on your schedule for next year. I’ll be back next week with block number ten. Hugs, Anne
