Moda Love blog hop


                  Thank you so much for visiting my blog!
Moda Layer Cake quilt as a table cloth

I made my quilt using a Layer Cake from my new line called Patchwork Garden.  This fabric line will be in shops SOON!
I did add my own two cents with the applique leaves.  Here is a pattern of the leaf if you are interested - LEAF and here is the layer cake pattern - MODA LAYER CAKE

Layer Cake quilt using Moda Patchwork Garden fabric line

 I would love to tell you a little bit about this new line of fabric.  Click HERE for a video from Quilt Market.

 I also stitched up 12 little embroidery patterns using the Patchwork Garden fabric line!  There are 12 little wall hangings in all.
Stitched in Red patterns using Patchwork Garden fabric line

Ready to stitch?  I have a few kits available with all 12 patterns and all of the fabric needed to complete the 12 projects - click HERE (only 3 available).  If you are interested in kits I've added LOTS of them on my website (small projects to big quilts) - HERE 

Time for Q&A -
When did you start quilting? Tell us about your first quilt...
I made my first quilt, at age 13, using left over fabric scraps my Mom had.  She used to sew our clothes and the left-over pieces of fabric were ours to play with.  
  

When did you fall in LOVE with quilting/ textiles? and Why?
I grew up watching my Grandma and Mom sew.  They both were quilter's as were their ancestors.  I guess I grew up admiring the beautiful antique quilts at the Quilt Museum when I visited my Grandma. As long ago as I can remember I've been encouraged to pick up a needle and thread.  
  
What fuels you to create?
I don't know what I would do with my day if I didn't create!  I suppose it's a great excuse not to clean the house or do laundry!
Creating is very comforting to me.  I get inspired by looking on Pinterest and looking back through doodle books I've done for years.  
What  is the best part of your design process?
I think the hardest part is coming up with the theme or direction I want to go.  Once I figure that out it's really a fun process.  It seems like one idea will lead to another. I like a celebratory glass of wine when I finish a project.  Sometimes a preemptive glass helps with the process too.

I get shaky knees when......
Well is that a good shaky or a bad shaky?  Bad shaky is speaking in public.  I'm getting better at it but it still make me "glow" as my Mom would say (women don't sweat).
A good shaky on the other hand can be caused by a REALLY good dessert.(Creamy butterscotch can even makes by toes wiggle)

I love the color......
burnt orange!!! Yum.  It's such a warm and cozy color.

When I teach classes or workshops, I love.....
learning new techniques from students haha.  I like being surrounded by other creative people.  I'm usually home by myself (and my cat) so it's nice to break that up with friendly faces and good conversation.   I don't know how much actual "teaching" I do.  Mostly I share things that I have found helpful, little tricks and stuff.

This project features a layer cake, charm pack or mini charm, but what is your all time favorite moda precut?
I guess that would be a layer cake.  I'm a sucker for cake of any kind!

I would love to spend a day with.....
My Grandma Ruby and Grandpa Bert.  They were a big part of my life growing up and I would love to see then again.  I think they would both be pleased to see what I do for a living. I hope they would be proud of me.

Feel like winning some lovely Moda fabric?  Now's your chance.  Simply leave a comment and I will randomly pick 4 winners and announce them on Sept 13th. 
Here's what you could win!!!!

*Although they didn't show up on the blog this morning, all comments were received and are now published.  Sorry about that!
Give away!  Leave a comment to be entered in the drawing.

    I get my LOVE of sewing from my mother and her mother. I loved sitting on the floor of my Granma's sewing room with her button box playing while listening to the hum of her machine. It's still a very soothing sound to me. Great name for a fabric line, "Patchwork Garden"! Happy Fall! ;-> Toni Anne

    The thing I most love about quilting is that you never stop learning. When I first started who would have ever dreamed of such a thing as precuts and now here they are and with tons of ideas for how to use them! Thank you for the giveaway.

    I really like the applique that you added to the quilt, it really pops! That is something that I want to learn. Beautiful fabric. I really wish I could spend the day with my gran father, I miss him so much, the world lost a great man 20yrs ago.
