Mini Charm Quilts
The Moda All-Stars are back with a new book, and I’m so excited! First, because I’m obsessed with Moda Mini Charms and second because the royalties for this book will be donated to LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs ! Imagine, an organization that trains dogs to visit disaster locations, community events and care facilities around the country wearing “Please Pet Me” vests. To think that your purchase of this book means more people will have a comforting hug from a specially trained dog! One that offers comfort to those in need.
From two mini charm packs, you can make my mini quilt called Peppermint Lane. Doesn’t this look like a place where you’d like to live? If you’re ready to move in you could win a copy of this book along with two Sugar Plum Christmas Charm Packs! All you need to do is leave a comment on this blog post by Midnight on Thursday – March 1 – and tell me if you’re obsessed with mini charms. Do you collect them? Use them? Hide them away from all your quilting friends?
You can read more about the book, the projects, and chances to win Mini Charm packs and books on Martingale’s Stitch This blog. There are so many ways to win one of these books; check out the Moda Blog today for more chances to win! If you’re having trouble leaving a comment on this post email me and I’ll post your comment for you.

Mini charm packs are new to me this year. I’ve seen them in shops but wasn’t sure what to do with them. I have a few now that I can play with.
Janine T
I have never bought a mini charm pack but really love the colors of your peppermint lane quilt.
Lynne Barton
I am fairly new to sewing , and I haven’t tried quilting as of yet, which I am so wanting to. I really love to make doll clothes, and want to try some mini quilts for AG, also baby doll. The idea of making them for animals also appeal to me. I would love to win the mini charm packs as well as the books. I am in desperate need of sructure( feel scatter brained when trying to start a project) and instruction. I’m also new to matching fabric patterns and colors . the charm packs could help jump start my imagination

I love mini charms because they are like a fun little bundle of joy. I have used them instead of a get well card, I have made table runners and I made an entire (nice-sized) throw quilt by just adding background-they are fun to use and collect!–Thank you for the inspiration of your mini quilt!
Lorrie Keffer
I love these mini charm quilts. I come from a family that makes quilts. I would love to get your book and make these for myself, friends, family, and people that are sick and need cheering up.
Susan Shughart
This looks like so much fun, especially for my very little shop.. ( Little Shop On The Corner )To do together with friends & customers, who just. Want to sit & stitch, or have some fun together.
And enjoy the company of others who love to quilt ! Or for someone who wants to quilt “ Little quilts”
Sandi Henderson
Yeds I do love charms, especially mini charms. I use them, give them away to friends, and hide them to “Pet” in private! This mimi charm quilt is beautiful. Yes, I do need mini charms to make this one. Thanks!
Jean
I have collected mini charms but have never used them which I suppose is ridiculous when most patterns call for 2 1/2 inch pieces! Now I see kona has white and black “candies”. How easy to put a quilt together! I would love your book!
Christine from Ontario
I do seem to collect the mini charms. With my obsession, this seems like a great book to watch for.
Deborah Smith
I have never worked with mini charms, however, I just won 1 set of mini charms at a quilt shop show and tell! I can see how those little cuties would be fun to work with. I’m itching to try!!
Carol P.
I absolutely live mini charms! I’ve made a couple table mats/ mini quilts with them and appreciate the chance to Winamp!
Kathie Robbins
I have a few minicharms, but I don’t know what to do with them… This book would certainly be a huge help with that!
Debbi
I saw this on Moda this morning and, of the designs they showed, yours and Brenda Riddle’s are my favorites (which makes sense since I generally love everything the two of you do!).
Gisela Buitendag
I love to look at them and do use them. Moda fabrics are really my favourite. Used several in your Christmas qal last year.
Barb H.
I love minis, like to display them on tables. Fun to make.
Joan Brown
I love mini charm quilts!
Becki G
Finally a book with sweet designs just for those two, (yes, only 2) mini charm packs I bought. A friend gave me a mini quilt for Christmas, which I hung on a clip board and placed in a very narrow space between cabinets and window. And, I have been thinking since then what a fun place to hang seasonal mini’s. Really liked a number of designs in the book. Thanks for this opportunity.
Janis T
I love those little bits of fun! They are great for quick small quilts.
Wenda
I love to collect them but have never done anything with any of them – maybe it is time for that to change!
Hannah
Yes! I love them. They are so cute and small! Perfect for making quick little projects and surrounding my stitcheries with.
Judi Leventhal
I’m not necessarily obsessed with the mini-charms, but I do hoard them whenever I get them, just waiting for that very special project. I also add to them with scraps from my own collection. My motto is “one can never have too many…of anything”.
Pat Snyder
I love mini charms – such a great way to preview a whole collection! I’ve made several zipper pouches using mini charms. This book looks great!
Becky S
Your Peppermint Lane mini quilt is adorable!!! I do collect mini charms, but haven’t used them to make anything.
Kay
I love these. I have collected a few not knowing what to do with them. Now I do!
Monica Kostak
I only have a few mini charms and i bought because they are cute and i liked the fabric line; however, the problem is-we SAVE these things we like and not use as intended-why do we do that? I need to make something now and this book has some wonderful ideas! Thanks for sharing.
Harriett Cheek
I like mini charms. I’m looking for one that is mostly red and pink for a project.
Terri W
I find lots of cute uses for the mini charms, I just used some to make a cute Valentine pillow. They are great little pieces to use for applique variety, too!
Susan N.
I am not obsessed with mini charms, but I do think they are cute and would not mind winning some.
Roseanna Jakubowski
While I enjoy using them I keep mine in a display jar. They do look like pretty candy and I have to admit that I am happy when there are lots of them in my jar.
Karla
I have “several” packs of those adorable little things. They fit so neatly in baskets. 😇
Estie
Yes, I do have collected a few mini charm packs…just waiting to be sewn. This new book should be a big help.
Nanette Edmonds
I LOVE Moda mini-Charms!! I have a few and still have to do something with them. I’m not exactly hoarding them, but just want to find the RIGHT projects for them. I still need to get the Moda All-Stars book. I love all the designers that are the All-Stars, you included!! I’d love to have the Christmas minis and Pattern.
Martina
I love mini charm packs but I just have a few of them. They are great to make small bags which I mostly I use them for! Your mini looks so lovely and the book seems to be a must have, lol!
Katherine
great fun for a great cause
Judy Chastain
I do collect them, and I don’t have any Christmas-y ones. That little quilt is adorable!
Rebecca Stipe
I love mini charms right now I’m just collecting them they are so cute.
Tammy Spencer
Yes, i would definitely move into Peppermint Lane.
Sharon
I love working with mini charm packs. They are handy for quilt patches, appliqué, on bags, placemats, and of course, my favorite, miniature quilts. I use them often and collect my favorites by making sure I have at least three or four of a line. Love the little quilt you designed and can’t wait to make it.
Cheryl Doyle
I love the challenge of mini quilts. Mini charm packs are excellent for this. I’ve already appliqued The Christmas Mouse and A Merry Little Christmas. Peppermint Lane looks fun too. I love dogs and am pleased to hear that the royalties from the new Moda All Stars book will help LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs.
Marie Eddins
I do like Moda candy charms. They make darling projects and also are just the right size to add to block making. Your little quilt is adorable and I’d have to make it. Thanks for the chance!
Lace Faerie
I love the mini charm packs! I have several from different lines waiting for inspiration. They make an easy way to have tiny bits of my favorite lines. I’m always on the look out for fun ways to use them!
Sally Christiansen
I do collect mini charms and like to use them also.
Jenniffer Howling
Love the minis. Congratulations on a cute book.
LINDA
Hello, yes I’m a Collector+a Quilter that love to use them in Mini Quilts and in large blocks for larger quilts!Thank You for a sweet giveaway!!!
Dee Winter
I love mini-charms – I have a stash of them, love to fondle them! My girlfriend put several in my suitcase when we were at a big quilt show to find when I got home! I’d love to win. The book looks like I need it.
Kim E.
Charming quilts and comforting canines – it just doesn’t get any better than that! I must have this book and I’m in love with Peppermint Lane. I have a small brass doll bed that I want to make little quilts for and this book is perfect for that. Also, I’m running out of places to display larger quilts, so the smaller the better for me. These are great projects too for the budget conscious or those that want to use up scraps.
Susan Lane
Love mini charms, so versatile. Great for mini quilts and convenient for larger quilts!
Mary Fielder
pre-ordered on Amazon and received it the day of release. It is a delightful book with amazing little quilts. The fact that royalties will be given for the comfort dogs is heartwarming.
Lori M.
Hi I think mini charms are perfect for mini quilts…
mimi'sdarlins
Anne, I do love mini charm packs….I like to collect them, but I use them, too. Mini charms are a great way to whip up a little project in a short time. The new Moda All Stars book looks lovely, and I love your Peppermint Lane mini quilt….of course, one of my favorites of your fabric lines.
