Block Eight Julie’s design is the reason you have that tiny ric rac in your embellishment kit! When I saw how she had used it in her design I knew we had to duplicate it. She’s stitched around the ric rac with red embroidery floss for the cutest accent. Here’s her block added to our quilt… And here it is duplicated in our fabric, Sugar Plum Christmas… Julie’s original design had a fabric square behind the stocking.

Living Quilt Market Vicariously
It’s quilt market weekend and I’m living it vicariously through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. You can too, if you put in the hashtags, #quiltmarket or #showmethemoda in one of your apps. Here’s a picture I found on Twitter just a bit ago. It’s 2 of my friends, Kimberly at Fat Quarter Shop and Doug Leko from Antler Designs. Love these two so much! If I were there, they’d be getting a big hug. Or, how about this one I found on Facebook saying Moda won 1st place for multiple booths? 1st place, isn’t that great? See that pretty lady at the bottom of the picture? That’s Holly, and she’s usually…
