We just got the new line, Make Life (by Sweetwater, for Moda) in our shop and let me say, it is happy and bright. I love it more than I thought I would! We couldn’t wait to cut into it and make something.
Natalie put together a quilt using this line and we wanted to give [...]
We all know about the amazing technique called ‘Stack and Whack’ . This is our variation on it. The best thing about it is that we don’t have to whack the fabric. Lucky for us, Moda has done the hard stuff for us! (thank you Moda) Aren’t you just loving these turnovers?! So [...]
On the machine today was a custom ordered quilt ALL the way from Sweden. Crazy-cool, huh!? We are thrilled to have the opportunity to make them something special, that fits exactly what they want.
Jenny does amazing work and put this together beautifully. She used the fabric from the Morris Workshop, by Moda. Then machine quilted [...]
you know…April Cornell. (har-har) I just couldn’t resist any longer. I just had to rip open a honey-bun. Oh the possibilities I have found playing with the beautiful color combinations.
Mmmm…..I can’t wait to show you.
Have a great WEDNESDAY!! (can you believe that this week is almost halfway over!??!)
*Just a reminder to head on [...]
Check out the little “Snippet” of joy I’ve been working on at my house!
As seems to be the case for me it looks nothing like the pattern I started with but I think I like it
Can you see the pattern in there? It started out with blocks like these,
And it turned into this [...]
Wow, hard to believe that Jelly Roll week is coming to a close! Darn, but like Moda Lissa said, every week is a jelly roll week! Let’s be honest….we are all addicted to those sweet rolls of 2-1/2 inch bliss.
Anyway, thanks for hanging out with us, and commenting away. The winner of the [...]
I made this rug for my daughter’s bedroom. And thought I would share a couple thoughts on things I love and don’t love. First I would probably suggest sewing your strips on with the right sides facing out instead of in. So, that even when it’s been stepped on you’ll still see the pretty colors! [...]
The fence rail, in my opinion is a fabulous go-to block. It is quick and virtually pain free. The best part for me about using a Jelly roll for this quilt (and pattern) is the variety you get. I am all about the ’scrappier’ look, and LOVE that it all coordinates! It really does make [...]
The Jelly roll pattern we are featuring today is called
“Gooseberries”
This was inspired by a quilt I saw several weeks ago though but I don’t know who to credit for it or even it’s original name. This is somewhat different than the original though, what I loved about the original quilt was how the geese flew [...]
So this is an AMAZING, fun and fast way to make a block, that has the look of a “string quilt” block or an hourglass block. The cool thing about this idea is that you are able to either make it very matchy-matchy or you have the freedom to make it very random and scrappy. [...]

Natalie LOVES coming up with new things to try and do with all of our Moda precuts. This project went together in a snap. It was fun and fast. A must for us here at MSQC.
All you need is a Jelly Roll and a layer cake….make a few slices and stitches and [...]
Coins, coins, coins……I bet you’ve seen them all over the ‘world wide web’ this summer, and you are dying to make one!! They are easy peasy, and you will love the end result!
Using a jelly roll makes it so much easier, because your 2-1/2 inches are already cut, all you have to cut is your [...]
I said I’d work on it and BY-GOLLY I did!! I spent Tuesday afternoon sewing the rest of the nine patches together, and then cut them up. I have laid it out several times………trying to find the perfect balance, you know.
I am so excited though, to be this close to finishing it up. My Katie [...]
That’s all it took! I am a HUGE fan of Sandy Klopp, (the designer of American Jane fabric) and when we got the Snippets line in the shop I couldn’t wait to try something out.
Since I haven’t played around much with the turnovers I got all excited and (with Mom’s help) we whipped this little [...]
Spring is in the air and with a little help from Moda you’ll be able to squash those winter blues and bring in some sunshine.
Let me just give you a little snippet of awesomeness. Check this out!
Lila Tueller’s new line Soiree is love in a cake layer. Seriously, I could die. Check it out here!
We [...]
