• The Flower Farm

    Sometime in September, a quilt shop near you might be getting a bouquet of flowers! It could arrive looking like this Fat Quarter bundle… Or, maybe it will be in a Moda Box disguised as a Flower Farm Quilt Kit!  58″ x 68″ Quilt. Or, in the form of flower fabric, to make a bundle of tulips like these… Regardless of how it arrives, I think it will make you smile!.  The Flower Farm is my newest fabric line for Moda Fabrics. I chose an assortment of red, pink, sage, and cream colors for this line that I hope you will love! I’ve got a selection of pieced and applique…

  • Crystal Lane is here!

    Happy New Year, everyone! We’ve made it through another year, and to say I’m excited about 2022 would be an understatement. Don’t you love it when one year ends and we can start fresh in a new year? Guess what? Crystal Lane is finally here, and if you’re partial to all things blue and white like I am, then you’ll have the perfect excuse for some January sewing. Welcome, Crystal Lane! Maybe I should remind everyone what Crystal Lane looks like! It’s been so long you may have forgotten. Here’s the main print in my Crystal Lane line, and this one also happens to be my favorite. I try and…

  • Prairie Days is coming!

    I’m a country girl at heart! How about you? If you’re a country lover too, say hello to Prairie Days, my newest fabric line for Moda! It’s filled with calicos, gingham checks, and pillow ticking. In red, white, and blue, it’s my tribute to the USA.  These fabrics say “country,” and I hope you love them! I describe this fabric as “happy” because that’s how it makes me feel!  The colors are so pretty, and I’m still trying to choose my favorite print.  Right now, I’m leaning toward the red and white floral, but by tomorrow it could be the little sheep on blue.  Of course, I’m always partial to…

  • Waiting and Waiting

    It seems like so long ago that I introduced you to Crystal Lane.  There’s always a long stretch of time between when we show you a new line and when the line actually arrives in shops.  For Crystal Lane, this stretch is longer than normal.  She’s been on schedule to arrive around the middle of April, but I’ve heard from Moda that she’s running about 4 to 6 weeks late. Because of Covid, there have been delays and backups at the ports. Crystal is waiting for her turn, and I’ll let you know as soon as she arrives. I think she’s in good company as most fabric lines are running…

  • a million little crystals

    The snow is sparkling like a million little crystals.  You’ll find these words on the selvage of Crystal Lane, my next fabric line for Moda.  It’s one I’ve fallen in love with because next to pink, my favorite color is French Blue!  In shades of Crystal Blue, Winter White, and a touch of Nutmeg, Crystal Lane will take you into the Winter season of 2021. It’s a time for crisp mornings and cold nights, cold toes, and cold noses.  Crystal Lane ships to quilt shops in April of 2021, and I’ve got lots of new patterns to go with it! I’ll show you all the new patterns this week, starting…

  • Squirrelly Girl

    We’re waiting and waiting for Squirrelly Girl to arrive!  And like everything else these days, it’s taking longer for things to ship.  I’ve been told it will be around September 9th, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.  Squirrelly Girl is coming all the way from Japan, so she has a long voyage.  But once she makes it to Moda, they won’t want her sitting around stirring up trouble.  They’ll get her out right away. If you’ve pre-ordered a Squirrelly Girl kit or a Fat Quarter bundle, we’ll be shipping yours first.  I’ll have a few extra kits available after the pre-orders ship.  There are a lot of backings to be…
