Goodbye 2016, Hello 2017!
Join me this New Year’s Eve for a Bunny Hill giveaway! It’s time to celebrate the end of a year and the start of another and I’ve been gathering up things to give away. I brought some samples back from quilt market and found some other treats that Moda’s sent me over the last year. I’ve got two fat quarter bundles of Sugar Plum Christmas, one fat eighth bundle, and an Aurifil thread kit. I found some different designer rolls of wonderful Moda fabric groups so I’m giving those away too. This giveaway will end tomorrow, on January 1st. and I’ll choose a total of eight winners.

Applique all Day Block Three
Guess what day today is? It’s another “Applique All Day” day over on the Fat Quarter Shop blog! If you love applique but you don’t have “all day” to make something, block three is perfect for you! It’s raw edge applique! Just fuse and straight stitch on your machine (using Aurifil 80 wt thread of course). You can have this block finished in less that an hour. I designed this block for Jan Patek’s Fern Hill fabric. It’s a 6″ finished block that’s perfect for this time of year. Think what you can do with this cute little block…use three to make a table runner, or six to make a…

Applique Basics
When Aurifil introduced their new 80wt. thread for applique, Kimberly (Fat Quarter Shop) and I, decided it was a great time to bring you some applique fun using this wonderful thread! Over the next few months The Jolly Jabber blog will be featuring posts on applique, every other Thursday, starting today! I designed 6 applique blocks for this series and The Fat Quarter Shop will have them for free! They’ll include one of the patterns with each of the applique blog posts! Each block can be framed, or you can simply add a border and use it as a mni quilt. They are great practice blocks to keep up your applique skills, and maybe along the way…

Glitter Houses & Sugar Stars
I love Glitter Houses, and I’ve collected many throughout the years. I have a vintage collection mixed in with new, and my Christmas decorating always centers around these houses. My newest fabric line, Sugar Plum Christmas, has a soft side that you can see when you combine the pink, gray, and ivory fabrics. These are the fabrics I used to create Glitter Houses, one of my new quilts. In shades of pink and gray it’s going to be a shabby chic, pink Christmas! I’ve embellished Glitter Houses with crystals and pearls that sparkle with highlights when reflected in the light. If you love pink and grey as much as I do, you’ll have so much fun…

I’ve been to Quilt Market and back! Now it’s time to show you Sugar Plum Christmas from Bunny Hill and Moda! With fabric colors like Candy Cane Red, Sugar Plum Pink, Icicle White, Gingerbread Brown, Gumdrop Green and Mouse Grey, Christmas will be fun next year! Sugar Plum Christmas is my newest fabric line and it ships to stores in April of 2017. I’ve been busy making candy canes, gingerbread cookies, wrapping presents and decorating trees. All so a little mouse named Maya could have a place to call home! Maya is the main character in my newest block of the month called The Christmas Mouse! She loves Christmas and you’ll find her…
