Fresh Eggs?
So here’s some egg trivia for you! How do you tell if the eggs in your refrigerator are fresh? Take the simple water test! 1. Put the egg in a bowl with room temperature water. Fill with enough water to cover the egg. 2. If the egg sinks and rests horizontally, it’s very fresh. If the larger end of the egg starts to rise, your egg is about one to two weeks old. Still ok to eat. 3. If the egg floats, throw it out! It’s a “bad egg” so to speak. These are Farm Fresh eggs that I know are about two weeks old. I was wondering if they were ok…

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…

SewCalGal Awards
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Darlene over at SewCalGal, for hosting the first annual Golden Quilter Awards. To all of you who voted for me, thank you, thank you!

Photo Shoot
Since the photo shoot last week, and the sweet treats that arrived in the mail, my life has been turned upside down. Quilter’s Home magazine was here to take photos of my house for an upcoming issue. NOT just the studio, but the whole house! They were everywhere and it took hours and hours. Luckily for me, the photography team were my good friends Gregory and Elena. They are wonderful to work with! If you haven’t seen a photo shoot before, it’s amazing to watch. There are cords everywhere, lights all over, multiple tripods, not to mention the photographers doing their staging thing. Mooch wanted in every photo. At one point we had to lock her…

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
I feel like I should be baking shamrock cookies or something exciting like that. But yesterday this brown truck brought a box of sweets like you’ve never seen! My heart skipped a beat and I could hardly breathe! The box is filled with the sweetest of sweets and I’m in heaven. I know, it’s so bad of me not to show you yet! I will in a few days I promise, but today I have to spend St. Patrick’s day cleaning. Tomorrow is photo shoot day at Bunny Hill. Quilter’s Home magazine is coming! In order to make up for my lack of sharing, we’re having a St Patrick’s day sale at Bunny Hill. …
