A Day in Bunnyville and a Winner

Every day in Bunnyville,



we look at Mama's quilt designs.


We listen to what she thinks will be a good color combination.


Then we whisper that she should take a break and go get us a snack.


Yep, pretty much sums up our day.



The Random Number Generator chose number 108. Our Mid-Month Madness winner of the magazine and purse pattern is our friend, Nimble thimble stitchery - do! Holly is this you? I kept looking for a name on your blog. Send me your address and I'll get your prize off right away.


Congratulations!


Don't forget our 20% off sale ends at midnight tonight in the SHOP. Enter coupon code 2020 at checkout. 

Have a fun, creative and very happy weekend!

Hoppy Friday, a Winner and a Sneaky Peeky!

Hi ya! Wow oh wow what an incredible week this has been! Thank you so very much for visiting with me and the bunnies and your kind words on our block in Quiltmaker magazine! Over 400 comments! It took me almost 3 hours to write all the names and numbers down. Whew! :)


First I wanted to share another sneaky peeky on the progress of Peppermint Tea. If you are a new friend here, this is a pattern that will be in my Folk Art Fusion(TM) book, Fabled Fusions. The book will be out in September.


It's a good thing I've had lots of hand stitching to do as the employee's decided to take their break under my sewing table. (Bunnies and electrical cords don't play nice together)


Yesterday was also "Happy Hannah Day!" Hannah is our offical "dust bunny." Two years ago yesterday, we adopted Hannah from the rescue. She is a bright star here in Bunnyville.

Maybe because of the star on her nose. ;)  Mama loves you Hannah honey bunny. My life is truly blessed by you.

Ok, let's get on to the winner shall we?


We can only award one magazine right now, BUT....don't forget Mid-Month Madness on the 15th.


I bet, nope, I know, there will be three magazines to give away then! So be sure and come back. I'm thinking it's going to be quite a mad month as I'm running around like a crazy bunny trying to finish my book projects. That's a good thing for you! Wink..Wink..Wink..

The winner of this magazine is Stephanie of Quarter Incher! Congratulations Stephanie! The Random number generator selected 246 out of the 740 chances!


Email me your mailing address and the delightful, hard working ladies of Quiltmaker Magazine will send you your prize. Woo hoo!!!

Do hop back and visit us Monday. We have some more exciting news to share with you!


Hugs and have a fun, creative and very happy weekend! Give somebunny you love lots of kisses!

Michelle, Harrington and Hannah

Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Blog Tour and a Giveaway!

Hellooooooooooo and welcome to Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Blog Tour!

I am down right excited to have my block in this magazine! To be included in a group of so many talented and wonderful designers is truly an honor.


A big thank you to June, Carolyn, Diane and Shayla for being so nice to correspond with. These ladies do an incredible job of putting this magazine together. This is a magazine that is not only fun to collect, but it's also a keepsake for your inspiration library.

 Of course, you know my block had to be about bunnies. ;) I named it "Carrot Run."


"Sure would be nice if Mama would run and get us some carrots!"


This 12" block features National Nonwoven's wool felt. I used Navy (magazine says black, but it's actually navy) Butternut Squash and Reets Relish.


I also used Valdani's 3 strand floss from my Folk Art Fusion (TM) collection.

 What's really fun about this magazine is that you can take any of the 12" blocks and create something of your very own. I decided to turn my block into a 16" pillow. I had some Harvest Moon fabrics from Kansas Troubles which I love and wanted to use.


I made this pillow to donate for an auction at The Rabbit Haven in California. Their annual BunnyFest is coming up in which they raise funds to support the rescue, as well as, provide education on rabbit care to families who adopt these precious creatures. This is an all-volunteer rescue and I am very happy to help them.


So, what will you be inspired to create from all the fabulous blocks featured in this issue? The magazine will be available on newsstands around May 7th. I will also have some copies for sale in      my SHOP. 


However, you know how much I do love giveaways! The fabulous folks at Quiltmaker will be giving away a copy of this magazine! To enter, simply leave a comment on this post. The bunnies and I will use the random number generator to select the winner this Friday, May 3rd. As always, we love our friends/followers so if you are signed up (right sidebar) as a follower, you will get two chances. Good luck! Bunny ears crossed!  


Now I invite you to hop over to Quiltmaker's, Quilty Pleasures, Blog and visit with more of the designers and enter their daily giveaway. Tell them we said hello!

Michelle and the Bunnies
