• Moda Dottie

    I love polka dots don’t you?  They make me happy!  My favorite line of dots happens to be made by Moda…it’s called Dottie.   Dottie used to only come in a decorator weight fabric but now Moda has Dottie in a 45″ quilting weight fabric.  It comes in lots of yummy colors and I own a fat quarter of each one! The orange and white Dottie is my current favorite.  I’ve used it on the border of a new quilt design and you’ll get to see the quilt next month!  An orange Dottie border…can you believe it? I bought my fat quarter bundle of Dottie here.  It’s a great stash builder…

  • Mollie Makes Magazine!

    If you haven’t seen this magazine you’re in for a treat!  Mollie Makes is the best magazine I’ve seen in a long time.  Crafty, decorative, and oh those little craft kits they include with each issue.  How creative can they get?  That’s right, you get a little surprise kit with each issue! craft It’s published in England and released for sale in the US several months ago.  It’s so popular it sells out right away.   I love this magazine and I’ve decided to offer it for sale on my website.  Copies are limited but you can pre-order the issue you see above (#6).  Order it now so we can process…

  • Twenty of you get a prize!

     Today is Fig Tree Day on the Moda Blog Hop Country Fair! Go, go, go and download the cutest chicken scratch ever! Oh my goodness how many comments did you say there were?  Chelsea calculated out that if she had $1 for every comment, she’d be able to buy enough dog treats to last for several years!    I told her we didn’t have any room to store them and a dog treat obsession isn’t a good one to have…now a fabric obsession is another story.  If I just had one fat quarter for every comment… Chelsea and I are dreamers for sure… So let’s get to the fun! If you…

  • It’s A Country Fair!

    Today is American Jane Day at the Fair… Wait until you see Miss Henny Penny!      Lissa Alexander at Moda Fabrics always has creative ideas…she stores them in her head and just pulls them out when she needs one.  Amazing talent don’t you think?  She came up with the idea of the Moda Country Fair Blog Hop and then she thought up all these things for us to do!  Thanks Lissa, you are just so smart! We’ve been talking about the Moda Country Fair for the last month around the studio and somehow Chelsea got the idea she was invited to the fair.  She’s got these big brown eyes…

  • Henrietta’s Big Party!

    Can you believe this is the final block for Henrietta Whiskers?   Henrietta’s excited and a little bit nervous too.  It’s not everyday that a little squirrel gets to meet so many people!  I don’t think either of us ever imagined she would be so popular. I’m giving you block nine and the final quilt a day in advance!  If you’re spending this holiday weekend sewing,  you might have time to finish the quilt and have it ready to hang for Fall! Henrietta Whiskers Block Nine Henrietta’s busy catching stars and Sophie’s helping! And now that you’re finishing up your quilt (you are finishing aren’t you?) you’re probably wondering what I’ve…
