Did I ever tell you the reason I quilt is so my family doesn’t accidentally die in a fabric avalanche?
Well, it’s true.
My name is Susan and I have a fabric addiction.
I didn’t get it from my mother, she still has hers…
Perhaps I have mine & my sister’s since she also learned to sew from our mom, but she hasn’t been afflicted with the fabric thing.
I-love-fabric!
So when a box like this shows up,
although I ordered it and I know what’s inside,
it’s like Christmas morning and I’m a kid again!
I know Christmas is now over,
but in my world it’s just starting
or really it never ended because I’ve been working on new
Christmas designs since I got home from fall market…
The new Moda Christmas fabric samples are now available.
Let me introduce Winterlude by 3 Sisters for Moda due in quilt shops in June:
Christmas is my most favorite season and my most favorite reason to quilt.
Next is Through the Winter Woods by Holly Taylor for Moda due in quilt shops in May:
I guess it’s the red/green combination that I’m drawn to, not sure.
What I do know is that I have plane tickets for Chloe & me to go to Pittsburgh on May 14, where spring market is this year and I have a lot of work to do!
Do you have any requests of patterns you’d like to see?
I’ve been working on small Christmas quilt designs.
I had so many shops comment on my mini Vintage Play quilt at market.
My new designs aren’t this small,
but I thought I’d start there and see where else the spirit leads me!
Do you get inspired by the fabric?
Not sure where I’m heading, but it’s going to be with some lovely fabric!
Thanks, Moda!
Until next time,
Susan
I am the same as you. I love fabric. Fabric to me is everything that helps builds the design of the quilt. If the fabric has a design like a heart I repeat it in the quilting and maybe even in the pattern design. Your mini is cute, would be fun for child quilt.
