Since June 25th, in addition to finishing my Fabled Fusions book; designing, writing and making the Postal Fusions - Halloween 2013 patterns; opening my Craftsy store; filling orders; running the business; entertaining the nieces and nephew and giving Hannah two rounds of antibiotics; I was also super busy preparing for this week.
So what do these four projects have in common?
"Harrington and Hannah Love Letters."
"Conrad the Carrot Collector"
"Folk Art Fusion Flower"
"Honey Bunny Postcard"
Well...this little bunny is going to be joining host, Pokey Bolton, and showing you how to make them on Quilting Arts TV!
I have watched this program for years, as well as, subscribed to the magazine since day one. I am also honored to have my ATC (artist trading card) published in Pokey's book. In fact, she is the reason I began to love making art quilts.
When I was teaching in Chicago in June, Pokey saw my Folk Art Fusion quilts and invited me to be a guest on the show. I must admit I almost passed out on the floor. I ran back to the hotel and called David, Lyd and Captain. I couldn't believe it! I'm not sure when the shows will air, but I will let you know as soon as I find out. Quilting Arts TV is on your local PBS station here in the States. For you, my darling friends in other countries, no worries. The patterns will be available for FREE on the Quilting Arts TV website.
Today I am flying out to the studios in Ohio. Needless to say, I'm not going to have a blog post this Wednesday, but Harrington and Hannah will see you back here on Friday with three more Sentimental Journey stitcheries.
Hugs to you and thanks so very much for all your love, friendship and support! I can't wait to share these fun projects with you!
xx,
Michelle and the Bunnies

*SQUEAL* Oh Shell, I'm doing the Happy Bunny Hop all around my room for you - this is so exciting! The patterns are absolutely darling!!!!!!!!
Oh wow Michelle, this is so great for you! Well done, you deserve it!! Any chance we may see it in any form in Sunny South Africa?
wow that is so exciting! One day Shell, you are going to rule the world. My bunnies are really looking forward to that day as they know it will mean good things for fluffy friends! I only wish we had PBS over here... My parent's do have some PBS shows on their cable network, but we have Satellite and it doesn't have PBS... do let us know when the pattern is on the website (will we be able to watch you too - can you stream Quilting Arts on a laptop?)
