Prairie Days is coming!
I’m a country girl at heart! How about you? If you’re a country lover too, say hello to Prairie Days, my newest fabric line for Moda! It’s filled with calicos, gingham checks, and pillow ticking. In red, white, and blue, it’s my tribute to the USA. These fabrics say “country,” and I hope you love them! I describe this fabric as “happy” because that’s how it makes me feel! The colors are so pretty, and I’m still trying to choose my favorite print. Right now, I’m leaning toward the red and white floral, but by tomorrow it could be the little sheep on blue. Of course, I’m always partial to…

Waiting and Waiting
It seems like so long ago that I introduced you to Crystal Lane. There’s always a long stretch of time between when we show you a new line and when the line actually arrives in shops. For Crystal Lane, this stretch is longer than normal. She’s been on schedule to arrive around the middle of April, but I’ve heard from Moda that she’s running about 4 to 6 weeks late. Because of Covid, there have been delays and backups at the ports. Crystal is waiting for her turn, and I’ll let you know as soon as she arrives. I think she’s in good company as most fabric lines are running…

a million little crystals
The snow is sparkling like a million little crystals. You’ll find these words on the selvage of Crystal Lane, my next fabric line for Moda. It’s one I’ve fallen in love with because next to pink, my favorite color is French Blue! In shades of Crystal Blue, Winter White, and a touch of Nutmeg, Crystal Lane will take you into the Winter season of 2021. It’s a time for crisp mornings and cold nights, cold toes, and cold noses. Crystal Lane ships to quilt shops in April of 2021, and I’ve got lots of new patterns to go with it! I’ll show you all the new patterns this week, starting…

Squirrelly Girl
We’re waiting and waiting for Squirrelly Girl to arrive! And like everything else these days, it’s taking longer for things to ship. I’ve been told it will be around September 9th, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Squirrelly Girl is coming all the way from Japan, so she has a long voyage. But once she makes it to Moda, they won’t want her sitting around stirring up trouble. They’ll get her out right away. If you’ve pre-ordered a Squirrelly Girl kit or a Fat Quarter bundle, we’ll be shipping yours first. I’ll have a few extra kits available after the pre-orders ship. There are a lot of backings to be…

more new patterns
It’s show-and-tell for Squirrelly Girl. She’s excited to show you some of her squirrelly friends! We’ve got four more patterns coming soon. Sugar Squirrels If I had to pick a fat quarter quilt to love, it would be this one. I’m calling this Sugar Squirrels, and I’ve adapted it from my Sugar Bunnies quilt pattern. If you love Autumn quilts, add this one to your list. You can make the bias vines quickly with a 1/4″ bias maker, the applique is simple, and the star blocks are easy to piece. Need I say more? Acorn Soup I love charm pack quilts and I designed Acorn Soup to use a…

Squirrelly Girl is coming soon!
While we’re hibernating in our homes, Squirrelly Girl has been out visiting everyone she can! Our Moda reps may not be able to bring her to quilt shops in person, but they are doing their best to make sure everyone meets her. She’s coming your way in August. Over the next few posts, I’ll be introducing you to her. She’s been featured both in fabric and in my newest applique quilt! I really hope it doesn’t go to her head (she’s a feisty one)! We’ll be taking pre-orders for this Moda quilt kit in April, but please call your local quilt shop to ask if…
