Cosmo Floss Pre-market Sale!

By now you’ve heard about the new Lecien Cosmo floss.  If you haven’t you’re in for a treat. It’s imported from Japan and feels like silk.  It’s 100% cotton, silky smooth, and colorfast.  We love it so much here at Bunny Hill that we had our favorite colors packaged especially for us. We offer 5 packages of floss in an assortment of colors; spring, summer, fall, winter, and vintage Christmas.

 

Well, this past week we found another product from Cosmo that we love equally as well.  It’s the 2 strand floss on the spool!  88M of 2 ply floss that’s ready to use! Just unwind from the spool, and thread your needle!      

You’ll find it on our web site under Floss and Thread.

Here’s the best news…we’re putting our pre-packaged floss on sale at 40% off!  In the future we’ll be offering the spools only.   So if you’ve been waiting to try this floss now is the time! Cosmo Floss Packages, 12 skeins for $7.80 while our supply lasts.  Order five packages and we’ll charge you $35.00 for 60 skeins of floss.  That’s a savings of $4.00 off our sale price.  You will love it, I promise!

And right around the corner, new patterns are coming.  I’ll be back in a few days with a sneak peek at our newest block of the month,  “Le Jardin”!

Yoyoville is under construction

Yoyoville is  happening here at Bunny Hill! We’re getting ready for our open house (quilt market)! Yoyoville will feature 3 model homes, all with different elevations and front yard landscaping.  The material is “Simple Abundance” from Moda.  The name just seems to fit!

We’ve got an architect, project engineer, several construction workers, AND we can’t forget, the all important finisher, assembling Yoyoville.  It’s THE perfect town and can be constructed in any country. 

Nancy Ritter is my project engineer. She left the studio a few days ago with a box full of fabric and returned with this!

Her instructions from me were to make four patches and  yo-yos.   Cut  fabric squares for the yo-yos, fold to find center, finger press,  glue baste yo-yos to center of square.  Simple, right?

Look at Nancy’s creation!  I’m calling it the “Ritter Maker”.  It’s amazing.  No more folding or finger pressing. Just lay your “Ritter Maker” (patent pending) on top of the square and plop in your yo-yo! You remove the Ritter Maker with the engineered scotch tape handle.

 

Watch this! Place Ritter Maker on top of fabric square.

Add a thin line of glue to yo-yo and place in center of Ritter Maker.

Press to adhere, and remove Ritter Maker with special handle.  (That’s a scotch tape handle you’re looking at.) 

The Ritter Maker can be adapted to any size square.  It’s made from template plastic!

Now here’s the best part!  I’ll be teaching Yoyoville at our local quilt shop, Thimblecreek  on December 11th.  If you live in our area,  please join me for a day of construction fun!  We’ll be using the large Clover yo-yo maker, along with the “Ritter Maker”.  Nancy has promised one for every person in the class!

Thank you to my construction workers, Brigette Mason and Sandy Feigner.  Your yoyo talents are beyond belief!  And my finisher?  Anne Bryson get ready! I need your precision skills!

Hugs from Yoyoville,

Goodbye Clover Iron

The bad news is…

The rumors have been flying since market that the Clover Craft Iron is being discontinued.  It’s my favorite iron for spray starch appliqué and this would be upsetting news.  Yesterday I was on a mission to find out for sure.  It’s true.  For now the iron is no longer being made. 

The good news is…

By fall market they should have another Clover Craft Iron to take it’s place.  Clover says the production plant has closed.  They are moving production to another plant in Japan.  Hopefully in time for fall market.  I’ll keep my fingers crossed.  Sure would miss this little girl.  Maybe when they make the new one they could offer it in pink!  A small pink iron with the Clover sharp little point.  That would be heaven. 

So my little iron has to last another four months.  She is on the endangered species list and believe me no one gets near her but me. 

Oh, and Kathy in Massachusetts, pour yourself a cup of coffee and have it with me!  Good Morning!

Hugs,

Anne
