Several people have asked why I was giving these fabrics away
instead of selling them. Others have been amazed that I can part with
years worth of fabrics.
So let me explain,
I have worked for Moda fabrics for over 16 years and another
12 years working and teaching quilting.
12 years working and teaching quilting.
I am obsessed about the moda designers and the fabrics they create.
I love what special people they are.
I love what special people they are.
I have a huge appetite and always think know I bite off more than
I can chew, or in other words make.
I do get an employee discount so selling my scraps
for profit, feels a bit like
some sort of Wall Street insider trading.
Since I am blessed to work for a company that produces
thousands of fabrics a year,
I just thought I would share my good fortune with you along with a
big thank you
for those of you with this final giveaway.
Did I have second thoughts about this one, heck yes!
French General’s classic red and whites takes my breath away.
(is that wrong that fabric can do that?)
Do I really really want to make this?
Yes, I have wanted to make it
since it came out in June 2011.
But I haven’t so time to wrap up the month long giveaway
what I consider to be the BEST giveaway.
Please leave a comment and I will announce the winner on Monday, Sept. 30th
No giveaway will be posted on Monday.
The winner of yesterday’s pinks is:

Thanks for the give-a-ways this month. They are awesome. You are very generous. I hope someday I will be in the same position to help build the stash of quilters and crafters.
This is absolutely awesome for the last giveaway…and so are you! Adore everything French General and these classic red and whites are truly breathtaking and romantic. If I were the lucky winner of this I would make a quilt for my bedroom for sure (finally, one would be for me!). Thank you for the opportunity, you are the BEST!
WOW Lissa, I know what you mean about the biting off/chewing stuff after this move I just completed. I could do fabric giveaways for months and still have tons left. But I'm still entering your giveaways, aren't I? It's for a good cause (HAHA). Thanks!!
What lovely fabrics! Thanks for the opportunity to work with French General!
You did leave the best for last. Even though I have a stash of French General, I've never had time to make a quilt from it. This would be perfect. Thanks for sharing!
OOOOHHH! I would dearly love to win this one! It would make a great anniversary gift (27 years today on the 27th of September!) Thanks for the chance to win!
Yes! Gorgeous . . . you are so generous!
Oh French General!!! Just love those reds. Thanks so much for sharing!
Hi! You are so generous. It's so nice to come across someone like you. Thank you for the chance.
Oh. My. Goodness! Drooling here! Can't believe you are letting go of all that French General Noel Goodness! I would love to give them a home – but I might have to not cut them for awhile either…and just 'hoard' (did I just say that?) them as a whole collection. But just for a little bit – as I loved that pattern and line when it was out. Especially the bird toile! Are you sure you want to give it away? 🙂 So, of course, I'd love the chance to add to my stash! Thanks for the chance! Happy Stitching!
Yes please, I am obsessed with toiles.
What an amazing giveaway! I love the French General fabrics and would definitely use those to make a beautiful quilt!
Wow, what a great give away. Some lucky person is going to get a great gift. I love the French General's classic red & white by Moda. These fabric are going to look wonderful in the Lumiere de Noel pattern. Thanks for the chance to win. Jane Nadig
Oh my goodness! Pick me, pick me! This is so beautiful and very generous of you!
I have left a comment everyday! I am hoping I am lucky today! I love love love Christmas!! I love these fabrics so much!
Thanks for your amazing generosity. And thanks for the chance to win.
You are so generous! I hope the winners of your giveaways send you a photo of what they make.
Another gorgeous give-a-way. You've been very generous. It's been fun seeing the wide selection of your stash. You're so fortunate to work with Moda. It must be extremely pleasing. Thanks for all your kindness.

Wonder what your stash looks like now that you have given so much away? Thank you! Not often you see your name spelled with "ss". That's how we spelled my daughters too!
What a beautiful quilt pattern and the fabrics are to dye for!
Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!

I would make exactly that pattern. It looks awesome and French General is one of my favorites too. Thanks again for your generosity.
Wow, this is the best. Thank you gor sharing with all of us! What a great way to clear out some stash.
I think most of us quilters bite off more than we can chew! I can't imagine what I would have in my stash if I worked for Moda!! Thanks for this and have a great weekend.
Absolutely stunning, thanks for sharing all your treasures.
These reds and neutrals are gorgeous. I remember when you worked for Old Craft Store! Your stash must be huge!
