And the winner is.....

Hello Friends,

Thank you to everyone who commented on my

blog in Moda's  SIZE MATTERS blog hop.

The comments were so wonderful and so interesting to see if the

blue or orange block was chosen most.

I think it was a close race, but the blue block

won as the favorite.

And now for the winner!

Random.org helped chose the winner as.....

It's

Moda Blog Hop Time!

Welcome to Day 4 of Moda's latest visit with all

of the designers.

Today is my day and I am honored to be sharing it with Barbara Brackman and

V & Co.  Be sure to stop by their blogs too!

The theme of this blog hop is "Size Matters" and my newest line of fabric "Family Tree"

(available in stores this fall) definitely illustrates how size matters. 

The panel is an actual family tree that you can use to applique your family

members (little birds) onto.

The number of birds on your family tree depends on the

SIZE of your family!

Our family is still growing......

(As you can see from this picture of my husband's birthday!)

.........so our tree is not full yet.

(Notice there is a lot of room left  for many, many more grandchildren!)

For the Hop, each designer was given a block to create

using our newest fabric.

Download instructions for my block "Family Patch" here.

We were to create a finished 18" block and incorporate it into a project.

These are my 2 blocks.  I just couldn't decide which 

color version I liked the best when laying them out.

So, I tried both

and appliqued little birds from the group in 

some of the blocks.

Using the blue block, I made this simple pillow

(I plan on making the orange block into a  pillow too!)

Barb Cherniwchan of Coach House designs has created several wonderful

patterns using "Family Tree," including the wall hanging

above.
