Welcome to Moda's Friendship Quilt Along!




Hello Friends!

Welcome to day #3 of the Moda Friendship
Quilt Along!

Today, 2 other designers and I get to share our Friendship block and pattern
with you.


My block was  created using my "Seascapes" fabric.
Ahhh...the Sea! Don't you love to dream about
it? Especially in the winter?

The block was quick and easy.
To download the pattern:






I put my block on a beach bag to carry in
Cape Cod this summer on our family vacation.
Can't wait!!!
I'll have my family sign the bag during our annual
outing and write the year in the center.
What a fun keepsake of our trip!



Be sure to stop by and get  other block patterns today
from 
and


We would love to see your blocks as you create them.
Moda has created a flickr group for
you to share them in the
gallery:


Be sure to collect all of the blocks from the Designers!
28 of them!


And......
since this is a Friendship Quilt Along...
what else do friends do?

SHARE SECRETS!

 I thought that I would share a sneak peek at
my upcoming Christmas
and Halloween lines with you.
(Our secret....)

Coming soon to your favorite Quilt Shop:
"Christmas Countdown"

and 
(just a peak of the corner)

"Pumpkin Party"

I can't wait for you to see them!

And now for the Give-A-Ways:

Please leave a comment by noon on Sunday, Feb. 24th,
telling me 
the name of your favorite Moda
color

and you will be entered to win one of the
following prizes
(Thanks to Moda!)

A "Seascapes" Layer Cake
and Canvas bag for
you to create your
own project

or

A "Spa" Layer Cake
and Elan 5" Applique scissors!

You can go to
for a complete schedule of Designers and
their blogs to visit and collect their
blocks.

Enjoy the rest of the blog hop

of our summer trip to the
beach.
(That is snow by the way...not white sand!)

Always,
Deb
