Family & Friends

Come along with me!

Thank you for all the comments on my last post.  I loved reading them!  We’ve traveled down this road called quilting together, and I feel like each of you is a special friend.  Come along on this new Moda journey with me!  I’ll be sharing things that happen along the way, giving you tips, tutorials, sneak peeks, a few giveaways and so much more!   The destination is Moda, and the fun will be in the journey!

Yesterday the studio was chaotic.  Quilts are coming and going, their names are changing so fast I can’t remember what quilt is what, patterns are getting written and I’m planning our booth space for Minneapolis quilt market!  And yet in the middle of the chaos, things are still normal for some in the studio!

Do any of you live in Minneapolis and happen to have a handyman husband or know a good carpenter?  I need two walls built for my booth at International Quilt Market coming up in May.  Do you know someone who can help?  Please, please email me!  If you live in the Minneapolis area, love sophisticated chic, know where to look for vintage things, and would be willing to help, please email me.

For those of you who might be crocheting away, I’m still picking up that needle too, whenever I can.  It’s not perfect and I’m a bit embarrassed to show you, but remember it’s been years since I’ve crocheted.  Had a bit of trouble changing colors, and I can see one row is wrong…not sure what I did. I’m determined this will become a throw so I’m sticking with it.  I’ll keep you posted on my progress.  Anyone know what I did wrong to get that “ridge” across the darker pink?  I can expect to get better as I go along don’t you think?

I’m going back to work while it’s still March.  April is just a few days away!

Have a  great day.  I’ll be back soon!

    Hi Anne,

    Your crochet project caught my eye! My mom was a crocheter (sp?) and I inherited her hooks. In ’08 I started playing around with them. I bought a real simple “how to” book at the craft store. I am still a beginner but do encourage you to keep at it. It just takes a lot of practice (at least for me). I couldn’t say for sure, on your work, but I know I made the mistake of doing single crochet instead of double crochet or vice versa before I caught on to what was what. I would advise to just leave that row in there–doesn’t look bad–just a different stitch. I actually like going back to my old work and see how I have come along with time. I think your colors are lovely and you have a great start. You know the addage “practice makes perfect” and that is why your quilting work is soooo beautiful!! I say keep up the good work, Anne!
