Cake and Cupcakes Blog hop
Welcome to the Moda All-Stars Mix-it-up blog hop! The Moda All-Stars have been sewing away with cake and cupcakes, and it’s so much fun! When Martingale asked us to create a quilt using either Cake or Cupcake papers, I didn’t hesitate. I love these papers! They make piecing a quilt so easy. Of course, they remind me of my favorite treat, cupcakes! Who can resist a few of these while you sew? Here’s a little tip: Buy some cake or cupcakes for your family before you start sewing with these papers, and they will be encouraging you to stitch away! Now, the end result of all our mixing and stitching…

Jelly Roll Chickens etc.
Who doesn’t love a jelly roll? The whole process of cutting the fabric and rolling it amazes me, and when I have one in my hands, I love the way it looks. If you love Jelly Rolls too you’re going to love the new Moda All-Stars book! Moda All-Stars On Roll ships tomorrow, March 15th. And once again the royalties from another Moda All-Stars book go to a charity. All the royalties from On A Roll are donated to School on Wheels (SchoolOnWheels.org). There’s everything in this book from my Jelly Roll chickens, Stacy Lest Hsu’s butterflies, to Barb & Mary’s One Roll Wonder and Sweetwater’s Square Dance. There are 14 quilts…

Fun with Moda
Moda has two fun things happening this year that you might not know about yet. First is a year of contests called “12 Designers, 12 Months, 12 contests”. If you put all the prizes you could win from entering these contests together, you’d need a truck to carry it all! Each of the participating designers have a contest for you to enter. Each contest is different, so you never know what’s coming, but they do have one thing in common, prizes, prizes, prizes! Here’s the list of participating designers: French General: January Sweetwater: February Me & My Sister Designs: March Fig Tree & Co.: April Bunny Hill Designs:…

Moda Blog Hop!
Welcome to day one of the Moda BLOG hop! Moda assigned me the letter B and soon B’s were all I could think about. I had the biggest urge to pick up Barbara Brackman’s book and look for blocks beginning with B, like Basket, Broken Dishes, Birds in the Air, Bear Paw, Bethlehem Star, and Bird of Paradise. It’s enough to drive me BATTY. So instead I got out of bed and biked into Berkeley, wearing baggy burlap bell bottoms, to pick up backing, binding, borders, batting and beige buttons for a baby quilt. On the way home I bumped into Barbara, Barry, and Billy who were bragging about Bob’s…

Wrapped Up in Fabric
Windsor Lane is in the studio! The colors remind me of a candy store! Just yummy! There’s a scripted alphabet in four different colors and a paisley that will make you go crazy! I’m wrapped up in fabric and loving every minute. I can’t wait to show you more! There is someone in the studio who hates it when I get new fabric… Chelsea’s feeling so neglected I might have to make her a Windsor Lane treat :>) Back soon with more to show! Anne

Twenty of you get a prize!
Today is Fig Tree Day on the Moda Blog Hop Country Fair! Go, go, go and download the cutest chicken scratch ever! Oh my goodness how many comments did you say there were? Chelsea calculated out that if she had $1 for every comment, she’d be able to buy enough dog treats to last for several years! I told her we didn’t have any room to store them and a dog treat obsession isn’t a good one to have…now a fabric obsession is another story. If I just had one fat quarter for every comment… Chelsea and I are dreamers for sure… So let’s get to the fun! If you…
