Photography Bug
I have the photography bug and if you own a digital SLR camera one of these days you’ll get it too. I don’t think I realized that behind the camera is me and I’m the one who determines how that photo will look! I always thought it was the camera. If you want to learn photography take an online class at Lynda.com. You’ll get an understanding of your camera, settings, lenses and so much more! Mooch has offered to demonstrate… Here’s the original photo shot in aperture priority so the background is blurred. Enlarge the photo and you’ll really be able to see! Here’s Mooch softened and cropped using Adobe…

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…

Bundles & Kits Only
The studio still looks like a quilt shop and Brigette and I have spent hours cutting fabric. I love fabric, especially my own, but over the past few weeks I’ve come to realize that if I’m helping cut fabric I’m not designing! If I keep selling fabric I’ll have to move Bunny Hill to a warehouse and Brigette is protesting strongly. She doesn’t like the thought of working in a warehouse! We love working in the studio together! Here I am cutting fabric and still smiling (photo courtesy of Quilter’s Home Magazine and Gregory Case Photography). See those pre-cuts on the right? They take up little space, they don’t have…

One thing for sure I learned from all your comments; we all love fabric! Doesn’t matter if it comes in a roll or on a bolt we just love it! Many of you consider it precious enough to save every scrap! Some of you like Vicky, over at LA Quilter (one of my favorite blogs), even keep track of how much you have! I’m in love with all of you! Fabric hoarders are also fabric buyers at one time or another. You are the reason this industry will continue to grow! So Pink or Blue? You get to decide! If you see your name listed below you’ll be getting a…
