Welcome To Our Family
“Welcome to our family”! Those are THE most wonderful words you can ever hear at a quilt market and the owner of the boots you saw in the last picture said them to me! Me!!! The boots came all the way from Dallas of course and belong to Mr. Mark Dunn, the President and owner of Moda Fabrics!
And those cute little black sandals belong to Cheryl Freydberg, the Design Director of Moda Fabrics!
Moda is amazing, the people are so warm and friendly, and the company? Well, we all love Moda Fabric don’t we?
If you’d like to know more about how Moda operates you can watch this video that tells you all about it! Just click here and you’ll be amazed!
I was surrounded by the most talented designers. Moda designers who have created all the lines we’ve come to love. To say I was in heaven would be an understatement!
Here are just a few of the booths!
Right across from me was the talented Kathy Schmitz. I watched her hand draw a design on the floor of her booth. She got down on the floor and drew! You can see a bit of it in the photo.
And the wonderful Lynne Hagmeier from Kansas Troubles! She is as warm and friendly as she is talented!
And the other shoes in the photo from yesterday belong the the beautiful, sweet Edyta from Laundry Basket Quilts!
And the ever famous sister team Minnick & Simpson. Enlarge this picture and take a look at the applique quilt on the right. It’s adorable!
Of course every time I walked by Me & My Sister’s booth it was busy. I finally just took a picture, customers and all!
I wasn’t the only new Moda designer at this market. Lisel from Oliver & S was a new designer too! She has the cutest fabric line called “City Weekend” and it includes some of the most beautiful interlock knits for clothing!
And what would Moda be without Joanna and Camille?
I managed to get this photo of Camille taking a picture of Joanna and Eric in the Fig Tree booth. Both Camille and Joanna are as pretty as their fabric lines!
And Karla from Sweet Water, oh how I love their fabric!
I missed a few Moda designer booths, but hopefully I can get them in the next few day to share with you. Somewhere I have a photo of me and the oh so lovely Kate Spain!
And…
Next post I’ll tell you all about my new Fabric Line “Lily & Will”!
Hugs everyone!

I think I’d be in ‘fabric overload’ just to be surrounded by all those amazing booths and designers! My sister was fortunate to be there (as you know), and she said it was amazing and a bit overwhelming at times, but what an opportunity! Thanks for sharing all your pics, can’t wait to see the unveiling of Lily and Will :-)

Once again thank you for sharing your good times at market. I really don’t know how you can make decisions…I would just want one of everything! The new ideas and fabrics just keep getting better and better. What a far distance quilting has come in the last 36+ years. Goodness gracious!

I’m so happy that you are part of the Moda fabric family. I love the quality of their fabric. I’m sure they are thrilled to have you as one of their new additions. My mother always said, “Show me your friends and I’ll tell you what you are.” It sounds as though you experienced one of those magnetic occurrences, a quality company was drawn to a quality designer. Your star is definitely on the rise.

I was so close to buying an Olver & S pattern over the weekend! They are adorable! I was looking for a little dress pattern for my daughter and they have some lovely ones. It looks like you had a fabulous time at Market! Congrats on the Moda Family!

Thank you so much for showing us the wonderful pictures. I really enjoyed the Moda video. I’ve often wondered how fabric is made and this was so informative and helpful. Congratulations on being part of such a wonderful company!
