Of course Moda’s also packaged the new colors in tempting bundles of brights, warms and neutrals…  … You never know when you might need one of these new colors. Back soon with more…

  • Paisley for Baby and Me!

    I’m a paisley snob no doubt about it.  I have certain criteria that must be met before I like a paisley fabric: 1.  The size of the paisley must be right, not too small or large. 2.  It can’t be dense or my eyes will cross. 3.  Must be plenty of background behind the paisley so it stands on its own. 4.  The colors have to be soft like a water-color to speak to me.  :>)   Have you ever thought in such terms when you look at a paisley fabric?   Oh no!  Maybe you’ll become a paisley snob too and you’ll blame me! My love affair with paisley started…

  • Windsor Lane has shipped!

    Wouldn’t you love to visit Moda when a new fabric line arrives to watch them prepare it for shipping?  The process must be exciting to watch and I’m sure Moda has it down to a science.  I can picture bolts and bolts of fabric boxed and ready for shipping, with the friendly UPS man carting them to his truck.  This week it’s Windsor Lane that’s being shipped!   Bolts of each print are arriving at quilt shops this week! Junior Jelly Rolls, Layer Cakes and Charm Squares are just waiting for yardage to arrive! We’ll be making kits with this fabric very soon.  I’ll let you know when we have…

  • Junior Layer Cakes

    What can you do with a layer cake?  If it happens to be a Junior Layer Cake from Windsor Lane you can really have some fun!  Junior layer cakes have 20 fabrics 10″ x 10″ and they are perfect for our Petite patterns!   1 Junior layer cake = 10 petites or more!  I love these layer cakes because they’re affordable ($22.00) and they’re packaged by color.  Can you choose a favorite color?   “Lily” was made from a Windsor Lane layer cake.  You’ll get two squares of each fabric in a layer cake so you can make her the same on both sides, or for more variety try using two…

  • Kansas City Quilt Market

    I’m home and it feels so good.  Kansas City was a wonderful host but there’s no place like home.   We spent 6 days in the Kansas City Convention Center in downtown Kansas City and I feel like I only know a teeny bit!  It’s huge and goes on for several blocks. The downtown area is surrounded by tall buildings with many styles of architecture. Of course the old buildings are always my favorite. Sample Spree at any quilt market is a shopping frenzy.  People line up hours in advance to get in.  This was only the start of the line and it went on forever!  Quilter’s can shop like no…
