Did you know llamas can ski?
Did you know that llamas can ski? It’s true! They have wonderful balance because of their midsection and skinny legs. They can ice-skate too, and when they hit the slopes with their snowman friends it becomes a magical event! Welcome to Merry Merry Snow Days, my newest block of the month and quilt kit from Moda! This is such a fun quilt to make and starting in April (when the fabric ships) I’ll be giving you kit tips and ideas for applique and embroidery. If you join me and sew along, I’ll make sure you get your quilt finished in time for Christmas. The kit will come with the pattern and…

Merry Merry Snow Days
I love snowmen almost as much as I love Christmas and my newest fabric line for Moda, Merry Merry Snow Days, is the perfect combination of both. The colors are traditional Christmas, and the tiny prints are made for fussy cutting. I hope you love this line as much as I do! If you’re wondering what you can make with this fabric, I have some great ideas for you! I’ll be sharing them with you over the next few days. Christmas 2019 is going to be so much fun! Have a happy day everyone! Anne

More snow happy hearts
April, May and June Snow Happy Hearts are up on the website and blog, ready for you to make! Here’s April… May… and June: You’ll find the patterns for these under our “free” section on my blog or website. I have the biggest urge to just stop everything I’m working on and make another set of these hearts. Maybe I’d make them in felt or wool. But, alas I have new things I’m working on that have design deadlines of September 14th., and new things to make as soon as my advance yardage arrives. I’m a snowman lover so I’m sure there are more snowmen to come! Can…

Almost Christmas
Can you believe Christmas 2017 is almost here? I’ve done some simple decorating in my studio this year consisting of one little ruler tree. :>) Simple, yes, but isn’t it perfect for a sewing studio? The tree is only 13″ from top to bottom. There’s a reason my decorating is so simple this year… His name’s Sylvester. It’s his first Christmas, and he’s fascinated with everything! He’s sure I’ve done this just for him. Can you imagine Christmas through the eyes of an 8-month-old kitten? One thing for sure…those eyes won’t be on any vintage mercury glass ornaments this year… If he can see it with his eyes, his paws are sure to follow. …
