Welcome to the Pet's on Quilts Blog Hop! It's wonderful to have you here with us! We would like to give a very special "Thank You!" to Snoodles for hosting this event! We invite you to hop over and visit her for the list of pet and quilt participants and to view all the wonderful prizes you can win! We are delighted to be a prize sponsor for this very fun event! Woo hoo!
I will now pass this over to my assistants, Harrington and Hannah who will tell you about "The Adventures of Harrington and Hannah."
"Now? Is it time? Harrington wake up, it's our turn."
"Once upon a time there were two little bunnies who were ship wrecked and alone on a deserted island where they had to sleep in a stick tent."
"Hannah!!!"
"What? You said to tell an adventure story."
"I was really liking that adventure story Hannah."
"Me too Harrington. Mama can be such a poo."
"No you two ding dong's. Tell the story about "The Adventures of Harrington and Hannah" free BOM we've been doing this year. Harrington, why don't you try?"
"OK. So let's see. Every year Mama designs a Free BOM to share with all of her fun friends in Bloglandia. She gathers fabrics and starts designing in July for the new patterns that will begin in January."
"This year she decided to combine wool applique, stitchery and patchwork together. On the 15th of every month, she gives you a new free pattern in our SHOP. Each month, Hannah and I are doing something regarding friendship, kindness and giving. Mama chose this theme because she believes strongly in all of those and thinks we are just 'so darn cute.' Oh, I'm the one on the left with the wonky ear."
"This is us doing one of our 'so darn cute' poses. It get's her every time. She's a total sucker for critter cuteness."
"That is also the pose we use when we have just nibbled the furniture in Bunnyville for the 700th time. But I digress."
"Here are a few of the blocks in 'The Adventures of Harrington and Hannah'."
"Be Sweet to your Honey"
"Good friends weather the storms together."
"Plant seeds of kindess. Water them with hugs and kisses and watch love grow."
"This is what all the blocks look like so far."
"We have lots of friends that are stitching along with us and share their photos in our FLICKR group. (see the sidebar) Mama really likes that."
"Oh yes, I almost forgot!"
"Mama invented a quilting method called 'Folk Art Fusion.' She wrote her first book on the method and it's called Briarside Lane. It has ten fun projects in it. Most of which feature critters of some kind."
"Here's what her book looks like. You can find it and kits for the projects in our shop too."
"Ok, that wraps it up. Thank you so very much for joining us today. Thank you very much to all our friends who stitch along with us and support our little business as Mama supports rabbit rescues around the United States with money from sales, and thank you again Snoodles for this wonderful event. We sure did have lots of fun!"
"The End."

Beautiful bunnies and great story. Must catch up with my adventures of Harrington & Hannah.

Great work, bunnehs! You two are just too cute, just like all the adorable stuff your mama makes! Now make sure she gives you some extra treats for all your hard work, and tell her Auntie Jade said you can have a party in the poopoo bucket just this once! :)
They are just soooo cute! And those lovely little tails!
Great tale, too :9
Snarky Hannah, LOVE HER! Do you have baby pictures of them, Michelle?
Pets on Quilts...what ELSE would anybun WANT to put on a quilt??

These are the cutest balls of fur! I can see how you get inspired :-)
What a fab story I feel inspired to so tomorrow I shall make a friut oat crumble with home grown blackcurrants and apples and pears,maybe I'll post it tomorrow.Speedy's Mum
Just awesome...you are amazing!
Cute. Cute and adorable.
Love the pics and the story - and that darling pic at the end just slays me!
Oh i just love those gorgeous bunnies. Hugs from me Hannah & Harrington. Hugs,
I wish you were closer to me so that my CB (mini lop) could have a play date with Harrington and Hannah. He'd love that because his dog passed away in March and the cats are too lazy to play with him like Woody did.:-) Most people are surprised to know that the dog and rabbit were best friends. But they loved playing with each other.
We are both excited about Harrington and Hannah's BOM. I think CB feels left out because my sewing and quilting is usually for the grandchildren. I'll let him thing this is for him. LOL
What a wonderful story! Lots of smiles when I read it. And of course, looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at the blog hop. Hope Hannah and Harrington are getting their rest!
What a great artist you are!! Those bunnies though - look like trouble!! :)
Your work is amazing and the rabbits are gorgeous.
Hanna and Harrington ALWAYS make me smile - they tell the BEST stories! And your work, as always, amazing!
Thank you Hannah and Harrington -- you did such a great job for mama! (And I hope you will go back to the adventure story on another post. LOL)
Thanks for being a sponsor, Michelle, and partying along with us!!
Bunnies- so cute! Have not tried wool yet, but your BOMs look like they would be the perfect place to start! Thank you for sharing!
The Endz - what a fine story and advertisment and general view of two dandy bunnies. Are you sure you guys don't work for an Ad. Agency?
So when does the "H-Team" go out on the road??? I will be the first to buy a ticket! Thanks for the entertaining post! Good luck in the contest.
We love sharing in your adventures. your mama is so talented.
So very cute. I'm delighted to see your cute bunnies & quilts in the 2012 Pets on Quilts Show. They are all so very cute. Love, love, love them all!

Your two rabbits Hannah and Harrington are lovely rabbits. You told a wonderful story on this post- they are lucky rabbits to have a mom like you. How long have you had rabbits-
I love your beautiful wall hangings too.

Cute bunnies and a great design element too.

Thanks for the post H&H! I get to see your profile on a pillow every day! Your Mom is talented.
"The End" still has me laughing. Adorable post and the two of them are wonderful. I've had two rescue bunnies and they make wonderful pets. Thank you.
They look so soft and cuddly, and the blocks you have designed are very sweet.
just love bunnies as we used to raise them when I was real young and again after we retired from the military
This pair are just too cute for words! Gorgeous gorgeous bunnies!! Harrington reminds me of our dearly departed Malachi.
I see you have some designer furniture as well, heee heee :)))
