MODA LOVE BLOG TOUR TIME!

Hello Dear Friends!

Welcome to my day on the Moda Love Blog Tour!

I'm sharing the day

 with two wonderfully talented ladies,

Lynne of Kansas Troubles and 

Anne at Bunny Hill Designs.

Be sure to

stop by their blogs today too!

If you have been following the tour, all of the Moda designers were asked to create their

own version of the Moda Love Layer Cake Quilt using their

newest fabric line.

My newest line is called "BE JOLLY"

and it is filled with frosty snowflakes,

whimsical snowmen and Scandinavian 

patterns!   

So, all of the designers used the same pattern, using

different, beautiful Moda fabric!

I LOVE seeing how different they all are!

You can download the free pattern here.

Being the novice that I am, I decided that a full quilt

was more than I could handle!  Tammy Vonderschmidtt, from Moda,

was kind enough to share her incredible talent with me 

and create the beautiful quilt above using

BE JOLLY and the Moda Love Layer Cake Quilt Pattern.

Didn't she do a wonderful job?

Thank you, thank you Tammy!

Then, she must have been inspired, because she

created THIS fun, smaller quilt using the

Charm Pack version of the pattern

(also included in the free download!)

At Market, in May, the designers were asked to provide a 

demonstration of a tip that we would like to share

with all of you....

I thought you might like to 

see how I made these cute little

Quilt Labels using the snowmen from BE JOLLY.

You can see step-by-step instructions by

Also, if you would like to use the artwork in the video (and in the

picture above) we have provided that too!

Download artwork for your BE JOLLY labels here.

Since the theme for this Blog Tour is LOVE, the Moda designers

were asked to share a little about the things we LOVE.

Of all of the things that I LOVE, my family, like so many of us,

ranks highest.

With my little twin grandsons holding a special place!

I also LOVE that I am able to spend everyday painting, creating and

working with color. 

 I LOVE working with Moda...they are

all wonderful, creative, encouraging and positive people.

I LOVE seeing a fabric line develop.  My 

favorite part of the design process is almost at the

end...when it is all coming together, the patterns

and values creating a colorful story!

I have LOVED quilts since I was a little

girl and would wrap up in my 

Great Grandma's hand stitched quilt

to watch The Carol Burnett Show

on Saturday nights!

And now for the Giveaways!!!

Moda has been so generous to provide 2 wonderful prizes.

Leave a comment about what you love

Deb
