  • 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…

  • Block Ten Merry Merry Snow Days

    Welcome to the final block of Merry Merry Snow Days!  It should feel so good to have this quilt almost complete, and you’ll have time to get it quilted for the holiday season! We’re off to the races, and our llama is ready!  He’s registered for the race and wearing his number proudly, His ski goggles are protecting those llama eyes from any brightness or flying snow.  Goodness knows the snow will fly once he takes off. Let’s start by cutting and sewing the backgrounds together. Once you have that done, we can move onto the llama. Prepare the applique for the llama and assemble the pieces on top of…

  • Block Nine Merry Merry Snow Days

    Every block in my Merry Merry Snow Days quilt has a story, and block nine is no exception.  This little snowgirl (You knew she was a girl when you saw her pink collar, right?) went out into the woods to pick out a Christmas tree for the cabin in block four!  Thank goodness she found one already bundled and ready to go.  All she had to do was put it on the sleigh.  Now she can push it up to the cabin, and I’m sure someone will be there to help her inside with it. The tree will look so pretty in the window.   Ok, let’s start block nine…

  • Block Eight Merry Merry Snow Days

    You’ve had some extra time to catch up on Merry Merry Snowmen between blocks seven and eight.  I’m sure you all took advantage of it right?  If not, the good news is that this is an easy block!  Hopefully, you have enough of this quilt done to sew some rows together.  I find that once I can see the quilt blocks together, I’m inspired to keep going! We’re onto block eight of Merry Merry Snow Days!  The ski patrol is here!  Tucked inside the sleigh is a first aid kit, and this snowman has been trained in CPR.  He’s ready to help with any accidents that might happen on the…

  • Merry Merry Snow Days Block Seven

    Welcome to block seven of Merry Merry Snow Days!  Llamas ski free today and they are excited!  They’ve already spent money renting skates, so a freebie is great.  The line is sure to get long as the day goes on, but this little girl arrived early, and she’s first. We’re working from the bottom row up today, slightly different than your pattern says.  We’re going to make the large sign first.  You should already have the pieced stars made, so sew together your sign background and stars. Prepare the bottom sign applique and post, then place the signs over the pattern and trace the wording.  Center the sign on the…
