And because fabric can be used for lot’s of things besides quilting (although nothing BETTER) I thought I’d share my most recent project. I give you the Tale of the Kitchen Chairs.

When most people think of quilting, they think of little old ladies holed up inside spending hours at a sewing machine. Forgive them, they just don’t know. Today’s quilters are young and old, and interestingly enough MALE and female.
Here at the shop, we’ve had the opportunity to see just how much men love their quilts. [...]

I just LOVE the pre-cut fabric. It is so nice to have a slice of each piece of fabric from the entire line. I also LOVE the cute way they are packaged up. Moda wraps them so sweetly with their twill tape…adorable. I now have a growing pile of twill tape at my house! So, [...]
