Cath & Martha
Cath & Martha: Two of my favorites and each one has something exciting happening right now! I visited the Cath Kidston stores in England last year, and came home loaded with goodies. My extra suitcase was filled! Cath Kidston had just sold her stores for millions after starting her company in 1993! Amazing! They told me she plans on staying involved. I think it’s true because I just got the most fabulous catalog in the mail! Cath Kidston USA! You can shop online at Cath Kidston USA or call toll free 1 -877-259-8559. And here’s the bonus news. Free shipping on orders $100 over until December 10th; Offer code USFP. …

Shopping!
I’ve been busy loading the web site with all kinds of new things! Lily & Will have arrived and we have Moda boxes all over the studio! Brigette’s in charge of making kits and she’s having way too much fun with all the fabric! She’ll be cutting away and I’ll hear her say “oh my, I may have to get myself some of this”. She’s talking about owning every piece of fabric that comes through the door and I’m in charge of keeping her sane. It’s kind of like being a kid in a candy shop. Brigette’s been busy making all these Park Lane quilt kits that are waiting to…

Quiltaid USA
One person can make a difference in the world. I believe that. It becomes easier to make that difference if you join people together as a group. And when that group is made up of quilters need I say more? Please join me, 11 other designers, 6 shops, Moda Fabrics, and Presencia Threads as we come together for charity. If you haven’t heard about Quiltaid USA, you’ll be hearing about it soon. Maybe you saw this ad in American Patchwork and Quilting last month? The theme: From Heart to Home. Moda provided the fabric and Presencia provided the pearl cotton for embroidery. The 12 designers (6 Australian and 6…

Fall Quilt Market
The only thing I don’t like about Fall market is the timing. It always seems to fall over Halloween and many of us don’t get to see our kids or grand-kids dressed in all their glory. Of course at Moda they try and make us feel like family, so we had some trick or treating going on right at market! Debbie, (chief of all things patterns) was so cute. There I was telling her how I’d have everything ready early for spring market and she just cracked up laughing! She threatens me every year because I’m late getting things to her, but even dressed up like a witch she’s really…

Quilt Market Photos
Moda takes up a big section of quilt market. Their space is a large rectangle in the center and the Moda designer’s booths surround the rectangle. See all the crates in the background? They are filled with all things Moda! When market opens the transformation is amazing! Here’s the Moda family getting ready to greet customers and take orders for all that beautiful Moda fabric! I didn’t get out of the booth much at market so most of my pictures are of the Moda section. Being surrounded by amazing talent and NICE, NICE people was so much fun! Our booth was right next to Blackbird Designs, who just happened to…

Happy Birthday Joanne!
It’s Joanne Denton’s Birthday Today! And how do I know this? Her husband told me so when he ordered her birthday present! Joanne’s husband Don asked me to email her to tell her that her present is on the way! But with a husband like Don, I think Joanne deserves a marching band, a party and cake galore! Can you believe how sweet her husband is? He bought her a quilt kit! 1 husband + 1 quilt kit = SUPER HUSBAND! The “Park Lane” quilt kit left here on Saturday heading to Canada! Joanne, it’s your birthday present from your hubby Don! I hope it arrives very soon. I’ll keep…
