Moda has done it again with this fun idea for a blog hop. My project is a hot dish carrier. My good friend Jen had one and I thought it was a great idea so I designed this one for you!
I have used my Towne Square Quilt line of fabric and I think it turned out really cute (if I do say so myself)! I'm happy to give you the directions for this little "hottie". To hear more about it Moda has put together a little YouTube clip.
OK, back to the State Fair quiz!
Tell about my pets - We have 2 cats; Molly and Zippy. Molly is about 13 and very petite. She is a bit stand-offish and has a very loud meow. Zippy is 2 and large. She is a noodle of a cat; you and twist and bend her into any shape and she doesn't seem to mind. She is "special in the cranium department" if you know what I mean.
Tomorrow hop on over to Liz Scott of Paper Pie to learn all about this great designer!
I'm also VERY excited to tell you that my new book "French Inspirations for Artful Hands" coauthored with my sister, Bonnie Sullivan, is now available! You can find it on my Etsy site. Please take a moment to check it out!
OK, back to the State Fair quiz!
I LOVED going to the fair as a kid. I grew up in Salem, Oregon (the capital) so the state fair was right across town. My favorite food at the fair as a kid was the cotton candy, now I would have to say the elephant ears are my favorite!
Moda questions:
What is my guilty pleasure? Looonnnnngggggg hot showers and eating my Mom's homemade donuts
What's on my bucket list? To see the northern lights
What inspires my work? A blank piece of paper and good music!
What can I fry? Not much. We received a Fry Daddy for a wedding gift and after 1 use we decided that wasn't such a healthy way to eat plus it was a mess. It sure tasted good though!
What movie can I watch again and again? I still love the Wizard of Oz. I remember watching this with my mom and sisters at a friends house because they had a color TV. I had never seen color TV before, back then even the commercials were black & white. When Dorothy dropped into munchkin land and all of that beautiful color slashed across the TV screen, I gasped in delight. I was probably 4 years old, but I still remember it!
Do I sing when no one is listening? Sure! I sing along with music all of the time. I love Bonnie Raitt, Crosby, Stills, Nash, The Decemberists, Beck, Jack Johnson, Nat King Cole, Tony Bennet.....
Who would play me in a Livetime movie? Ha. That's funny. hmmmm Kathy Bates?
What is on my night stand? Lamp, alarm clock (I guess it has an alarm, I only use it for the time), ear plugs (hubby snores), eye mask, and a really great smelling hand lotion.
Tell about my pets - We have 2 cats; Molly and Zippy. Molly is about 13 and very petite. She is a bit stand-offish and has a very loud meow. Zippy is 2 and large. She is a noodle of a cat; you and twist and bend her into any shape and she doesn't seem to mind. She is "special in the cranium department" if you know what I mean.
What shows do I DVR? Survivor, Project Runway, So You Think You Can Dance, American Idol, Mad Men, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Boardwalk Empire and if Sienfeld was still on I would DVR it too.
My life motto? Wag more bark less and It is what it is.
Some things you may not know about me (and really don't need to know) -
1. I CAN NOT remember names and faces; I'm "special in the cranium department" when it comes to that. It seems the harder I try to remember, the faster it flies out the window.
2. Math hurts my head.
3. I can raise one eyebrow.
The drawing is closed. Congratulations to Anne, Kristen, CaraQuilts, HeartsDesire, and Tammy!

Your fabric is FABULOUS! Pick me pllleeaaseeee!!! I will make the hot dish carrier since I keep losing the cardboard box that I typically put stuff in. Our group of friends love to cook so we often trot food stuffs to each other's homes.

Your blog post made me laugh..... Molly is very simmilar to my cat, most people think she's a kitten but she's 8 y.o. And Tony Bennet,he's one of my faves too.

Love the casserole carrier and love all your fabrics. Have really enjoyed this county fair hop. Thanks Moda and all the wonderful Moda Girls!!!
Thank you for the pattern, especially the carrying handles. I can raise one eyebrow and when the kids were little they would stand in front a mirror and practice. Enjoyed all the bloggers.
Fun carrier! The yummy fabric is on my shopping list!!
Thank you so much for the cute hot dish carrier. What a clever idea and a great gift. Your cats sound so adorable. My dog sounds a little like your cat. She bends every which way and hang upside on the lazy boy. I often thought she was part cat or a slinky:)
Thanks,
Karen M
