Have you seen this ad?
Have you seen this ad in the latest issue of McCall’s Magazine? It’s from Shabby Fabrics and it’s for my “Rabbits Prefer Chocolate” block of the month! Jennifer at Shabby Fabrics used “Astor Manor” from Moda fabrics and remade this quilt. Her version looks so much like my original I just can’t believe it! Many of you already made this quilt, but for those who missed it you have a second chance! Here’s my original “Rabbits Prefer Chocolate”! And here’s Jennifer’s! I think it’s amazing that the fabrics match so well. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this done before. “Rabbits Prefer Chocolate”, revisited. I leave for Germany tomorrow. Maybe…

Snowbound in June?
These are such happy little snowmen! I think they’re having a party! Why a party? Well, we’re 1/2 way through our quilt, AND in some areas of the US it’s still been snowing! Snow means happy snowmen no doubt about it. It snowed in Oregon while we were at market, and when we flew home over Denver we saw tons of white, beautiful snow. It’s June and somewhere it’s still snowing. I can tell just from looking at these little guys. We’re on block number six can you believe it! Where on earth has the year gone? Do you realize we’ll be thinking about Christmas before long? Don’t worry, you’ll…

Burrr, Is it cold where you live?
It’s February 5th and I’m ready with block number two of “Snowbound”. We’re going skiing! Might seem a little strange if you live in Australia, but here in the United States, many cities are covered in snow and freezing! Our little snowman doesn’t care about the cold. Cold means snow, and snow means fun! You’ll find the blocks in two places; on my web site and now on this blog! Just click on the “Free” tab at the top of my blog and you’ll see it. If my site is slow, please try again later. These little snowmen will be here all year. You’ll have plenty of time to download the…
