It’s a Mystery!
Stop by The Fat Quarter Shop’s Jolly Jabber blog this week and you’ll be in for a treat! Jolly Jabber is sponsoring the first ever Designer’s Mystery Blog Hop! 12 Moda designers (including me!) each designed a block for this amazing mystery quilt using Camille and Bonnie’s “Vintage Modern” fabric line from Moda. Here’s a sneak peek…
Don’t you just love the look? You’ll find this block of the month at The Fat Quarter Shop!
If you had to go into your closet and pick something that says “Vintage Modern” could you do it? Kimberly at The Fat Quarter Shop asked each of us to do just that! Now here’s where the fun starts… visit each designer’s blog this week and guess what they found (don’t worry you’ll get lots of clues), leave a comment on each blog guessing what it is and you’ll be entered to win a layer cake of each designer’s fabric! Visit the Jolly Jabber blog on the last day of the hop and the answers and winners will be revealed. Hey, maybe you’ll win a layer cake! You have 12 chances!
So, here we go, some clues to help you out!
You just might find a bit of ribbon trim on it…
Think I saw a couple of these on it…
And this little guy might have had a little something to do with it…
If these were blooming I wouldn’t be wearing it…
But it you saw this tree I might be…
So what do you think this is?
Oh come on, I’ve made it so easy for you! You just might have one of these in your closet too! I hear they’re coming back “in”. Vintage Modern for sure!

I went through the clues, reading them twice, and I too have come to the conclusion that your vintage item must be a very festive Christmas sweater.

I think it is a hip “ugly” Christmas sweater.

I was thinking a wool Christmas sweater with trims of ribbon and buttons, but I wonder where the gloves from foxglove flowers came into play?? And then there is a tree?? So I am thinking a decorative wool tree skirt, but what about those foxgloves? I guess I will go with the sweater.
