Assembling My Redwork Garden
We’re assembling My Redwork Garden quilt this week and getting it ready to send to Maggie my quilter. I’m so excited to see this one come together. I took some random photos this morning that I thought you might enjoy seeing. Here’s block seven, one of my favorites. I used Bella 9900 200 off white as the background for the block and it gave all the redwork fabrics a beautiful contrast. And next to block seven you’ll find some bunnies leaping over mushrooms. I love the bunny on the right the most. She’s so cute with the little running stitch around her body. And don’t you love this block I’m…

National Pet Day
Did you know it’s National Pet Day? It’s a day to do something a little extra for your pet, maybe a second walk, two treats, extra loves, and hugs. My Sweet Chelsea turns 12 this month! I just can’t believe it. I’m not going to tell her she’s getting up there in age. She’s still a young dog at heart. And because it’s National Pet Day she’ll get an extra treat…oh wait, she already had one! Maybe a second walk instead. Our Peanut is the happiest of all our pets today. She’s thrilled to be in the “Sutton” family and for her, that’s the best present. She fits into our…

My Redwork Garden
Welcome to My Redwork Garden, my newest fabric line for Moda It’s one of my favorite fabric lines I’ve designed. I had so much fun working with this fabric I could have kept going and going!

My newest block of the month quilt My Redwork Garden is a sampler quilt that is so much fun to make! With pieced, applique, and embroidered blocks there’s something for everyone. You’ll meet Millicent Mouse in three of the embroidered blocks. Inspired by an antique 1927 children’s book she’s a “girly” mouse…

Staging Those On a Roll Quilts
Have you ever thought about what it takes to get those photos when you look at a quilt book? I think one of the hardest things to do is “stage” the photos. Think about it, for On-A Roll, there were 14 different Moda designers, 14 different quilts and 14 different styles. Each designer sent a quilt and Martingale had to pull them all together for the book. Thank goodness for the creative professionals that work there. They are the ones who deserve a thank you for making us look good! I think my favorite picture in the Moda All-Stars On a Roll book is the photo of the quilt by Janet Clare (page 46). …

Jelly Roll Chickens etc.
Who doesn’t love a jelly roll? The whole process of cutting the fabric and rolling it amazes me, and when I have one in my hands, I love the way it looks. If you love Jelly Rolls too you’re going to love the new Moda All-Stars book! Moda All-Stars On Roll ships tomorrow, March 15th. And once again the royalties from another Moda All-Stars book go to a charity. All the royalties from On A Roll are donated to School on Wheels (SchoolOnWheels.org). There’s everything in this book from my Jelly Roll chickens, Stacy Lest Hsu’s butterflies, to Barb & Mary’s One Roll Wonder and Sweetwater’s Square Dance. There are 14 quilts…
