A New House for Jeaneane!
Remember the photos of Jeaneane’s home after the Joplin tornado hit? Jeaneane’s family is rebuilding in the same location. Where there was once devastation a new home now stands waiting for a brick front… And the inside of the home waits for paint, flooring and final touches… I can’t imagine how excited Jeaneane must be! Her new home is so close to completion. One of her housewarming gifts will be a box filled with quilt blocks that you’ve made. Here are a few of the blocks I’ve received so far… I think Jeaneane is going to be excited when she sees all the blocks and she’ll love them even more…

Love those weekends
I had a great weekend, how about you? Did you get some time to yourself to do a few of those things on your list? Have you started Christmas shopping yet? I’ve been neglecting my house for two months while I’ve worked on new patterns, so this weekend it got some well needed TLC. Who knew cleaning up and putting things away could feel so good? I bought these wire baskets at Garnet Hill and I’m using them to store my wools. I like to see everything I have so these baskets are perfect! See the pastel wool bundles in the picture below? I bought those bundles at Holly Hill…

Bunny Hill Meets Holly Hill!
What a weekend I had at Holly Hill Quilt Shoppe in West Linn, Oregon. I’d move to Portland if I could, just to live near this shop! When I walked in and saw the Bunny Hill section I couldn’t believe it. What an incredible display! And then I walked over to the French General section… …and what to my wondering eyes should appear but a miniature sleigh and tiny reindeer… It’s my Night Before Christmas Quilt and tons of fabric! Upstairs is the most beautiful classroom ever! The classroom is large with lots of windows. I could be Snowbound here forever! …and then the classroom filled up with wonderful people…

Quilt Market was fun!
Henrietta climbs up the Eiffel Tower in the Bunny Hill Booth! It’s a good thing she did or she might have been sold as a sample. Poor squirrel. The Eiffel tower that Henrietta’s climbing came from Restoration Hardware Baby and I used it as a prop in our booth. It’s a card or photo holder so I put it in the crib and collected business cards. One lucky shop owner is going to win a Bunny Hill gift. My new fabric Ooh La La, was made into crib bedding… …and the vintage crib with it’s chipped paint made an appearance again.. Of course we had quilts in our booth… …for…

Quilt Market Color
International Quilt Market is always so exciting! Twice a year unbelievable talent comes together under one roof and you can’t help but be inspired! Walking the aisles = mind overload; new things are everywhere. Getting away from my booth to see things can be challenging but oh so much fun! My focus this time was on color…beautiful, beautiful color… Can you stand it? Don’t you want to just dig your hands into those buttons and cut yourself some trims? I got carried away in the Valdani booth with all that pearl cotton and floss. I may have to get a job working for Valdani just so I can get…
