I did read all the posts every day, and checked on the lovely little paintings too. Each of your questions reminded me of what I'd read… but nope, couldn't recall the answers! Really enjoyed it though, and it's inspired me to make a pillow (or cushion as we'd call it in the UK). My sister has now decided that she, her two daughters and her husband (no, he doesn't sew!) are each going to make a pillow for their living room! Now that's going to be fun. Thank you.
I read all the posts, some if them more than once, and I loved them! It was really neat to get "a face" (or two) connected with the designers. Their answers vere often very entertaininng and the pillow designs were really awesome! Thanks for many hours of fun reading and thanks a bunch for all the goodies that we could "post to win" – that was a great touch! I also loved the free pillow design that were given to us by Kathy Schmitz. That one is now in my "to-do-hopefully-some-day-soon" pattern pile now!
The Pillow Blog Hop was so much fun ~ special THANKS to all who contributed !
CONGRATS DEBBIE !

Thanks for "Pillow Talk" it was fun and I look forward to visiting the designers blogs I have recently learned of.
Congrats to Debbie! The pillow blog hop was a lot of fun..and I did learn lots of fun things about the designers…amazing things actually. I'm even more awe-struck than before at their talent!
Thanks so much for a fun blog hop….I enjoyed the glimpse into all the designers' lives.
I loved the Pillow Talk Blog Hop! It was so much fun getting to know each of the designers better, and it was nice to get some helpful tips, also. Moda is a wonderful company with a great group of talented people!
I had a wonderful time following the pillow talk blog hop. It was fun learning new things about the designers. Moda designers are the BEST!! Thanks for hosting the hop.
Becky
This was lots of fun! I found quite a few new blogs to try and follow… time, time, time! We need more. I actually had a good answer for #18. I have a degree in Construction Management and have used the drafting program AutoCAD more than once to "draft" and design a quilt! Someday my office will laugh and scratch their heads when they go thru all the old floorplans and find a few quilts mixed in! 🙂 Ha, Ha!

Thank you, Moda Lissa, for a chance at a prize. Thank you, Debbie, for saving my brain – it is still trying to recover from the Fresh Figs hunt for cream colored fabrics. I have had such fun with your blog hop and Moda means My Favorite (fabric and designers).
Rita E in AZ
Wow! Look at how many of you have all of the answers! I had fun with the Hop too 🙂 I was hoping for a little dish . . . woo! Those "nekkid" toes were almost too much for me. And Polly & Laurie have great taste in bedroom furniture (and PJ's). Sandy Gervais' tiny paintings are awesome and I just can't say enough wonderful things about all of the Moda designers! There are certainly other lovely fabrics (and fabric companies too, surely) but Moda has always been my first choice in fabric. It is the standard by which I hold all others – not that I'm an industry pro – I'm just your everyday kind of fabriholic!!! My note on all ya'll's pillows would say "Thanks for a great time!" Ha ha!! XOXO

loved this blog hop – great fun and I discovered some lovely new designers along the way … I couldn't answer all the questions without busting my browser (puter is running on battery and just conks out when it has too much to do!!) so I'm leaving a comment just in case loving the blog hop was enough 🙂
Ooooh, sorry I missed the quiz, but I did SO enjoy visiting all the designers. What lovely and creative people. I think I would have a joy overload if I could work with fabrics and colors and designs all day long.
Moda's my favorite!

Way to go! for Debbie! The blog hop was lots of fun. I enjoyed the fabrics and pillows.
I enjoyed reading all the blogs. I discovered Moda fabric last year at my scrapbook store, and it has turned my world upside down. The fabric is amazing. I took my 1st quilt class, and have completed a second, and starting a 3rd. I have made so many cute projects with your fabric, and there are still so many I want to sew. Thanks!
I loved the pillow hop! Even though I didn't win anything, I subscribed to four new blogs, and gathered so much inspiration, I only wish I had the extra time to act on it all!
I love blog hops and seeing what each person will create. It was especially interesting to read about everyone's backgrounds in designing fabrics. I thoroughly enjoyed trying to find all of Sandy Gervais' fabric lines that were featured in her pillow.
I loved this blog hop, and I found some new great blogs to follow! Thanks for all of the inspiration!
oh gads. . how grand is this. I love the creativity out there. Super fun.
I just love all the blog hops … yours was great!!

Lissa, I really loved the idea of the blog hop! What a fabulous way to get to know alot of designers and really puts a design face to all that wonderful MODA fabric! It has to be an annual event. Thanks again.
