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…

more new patterns
It’s show-and-tell for Squirrelly Girl. She’s excited to show you some of her squirrelly friends! We’ve got four more patterns coming soon. Sugar Squirrels If I had to pick a fat quarter quilt to love, it would be this one. I’m calling this Sugar Squirrels, and I’ve adapted it from my Sugar Bunnies quilt pattern. If you love Autumn quilts, add this one to your list. You can make the bias vines quickly with a 1/4″ bias maker, the applique is simple, and the star blocks are easy to piece. Need I say more? Acorn Soup I love charm pack quilts and I designed Acorn Soup to use a…

Squirrelly Girl is coming soon!
While we’re hibernating in our homes, Squirrelly Girl has been out visiting everyone she can! Our Moda reps may not be able to bring her to quilt shops in person, but they are doing their best to make sure everyone meets her. She’s coming your way in August. Over the next few posts, I’ll be introducing you to her. She’s been featured both in fabric and in my newest applique quilt! I really hope it doesn’t go to her head (she’s a feisty one)! We’ll be taking pre-orders for this Moda quilt kit in April, but please call your local quilt shop to ask if…

Let’s re-color a quilt
Let’s face it, new fabric has a shelf life, and within a year, it can be challenging to find. What can you do when you find a quilt you want to make, but the fabric isn’t available anymore? I’ll show you! Cottontail Cottage is the perfect spring quilt, and it’s so much fun to stitch, but by now, the fabric is almost impossible to find. So, I went looking for a Moda fabric line with spring colors similar to Cottontail Cottage. Here’s my original quilt: With the help of the fabric guide inside the pattern, I selected Summer Sweet by Sherri & Chelsi, and then Sue and I set out…

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…
