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:

I came very late to your giveaway process so I don't know what you gave away earlier in the month, but I sure do like what you saved for last! I have a couple pieces of French General that will play nicely with these if I win! Thanks for the chance.
My mother in law wants me to make her a quilt and she would LOVE these fabrics. Thanks!
Fantastic Fabric! I hope to win, pick me.
I love love love French General and would be thrilled to make this! And you have a wonderful job.
Be still me heart, keeping my fingers crossed on this one…thanks!
can I say, this giveaway takes my breath away – I just finished my last BOM project and would love to tackle this one because I too love this line of fabrics. Here's hoping I can win and start playing!
Lisa. I have so enjoyed just seeing the fabrics each day. I hope you'll do a few posts like this in the future. Not to givesway but just to enjoy the fabrics.
Reds! I'm drawn to reds like a moth to a lamp! These fabrics are gorgeous and inspiring.
You did indeed save the best for last! I have been wanting to make a Christmas quilt and this would be beautiful. Thanks for all the give-aways. You have been very generous with your stash.
What a generous, generous giveaway! Thank you so much for your kindness! I'm going to be keeping my fingers crossed….reds and French General – it just doesn't get any better than this!!!
You are so generous to share your fabrics with us. I wish I worked for Moda. Please include me in the drawing.
Amazingly generous giveaway. Absolutely gorgeous fabric. Thanks so much for all the wonderful giveaways this month.
You are awesome! That is so nice! Looooove that fabric and pattern!
How very generous you are! I'm 99% sure that I have this kit! Isn't that terrible to have so much fabric you don't know for sure? I can't tell you how much I love French General! I'm not putting in for this, just wanted to say thanks for winning the drawing yesterday! My scrap quilt will really be enhanced!!
I love red and white quilts and this one is gorgeous.
I knew you would load the last day with a beauty and it sure is.
If I had an employee discount, I wouldn't be able to fit all the fabrics I bought into my house! Thank you for the opportunity
Awesome choice, thanks for the chance
Such wonderful colors, thanks for the chance
Very pretty fabrics. Thank you for sharing. 24Tangent@gmail.com
I love the French General fabrics and red is my absolute favorite color so I hope I win this one! 😀 Thanks so much for generously sharing!
How gorgeous, I love red/white. Thank you for the giveaway.
Silvery, white and red – ohhhh such perfect winter design and colors. Always have been my favorites for our snowy winters.
A great collection and a great giveaway.
I absolutely love anything French General, and would so love to win this! Thank you for the great de-stashing giveaways – and have fun re-stashing!
Lissa again your generosity is awesome. Thanks for the chance
Thank you for all these giveaways Lisa. it was fun to see your stash. You have my dream job – fondling Moda fabric. French General is a real weakness for me. I love it! Thanks for the chance to win – my last chance!
Mary
The best for last! I don't blame you – if I worked for Moda I would have more of a fabric addiction than I do now.
OMG, YES, YES, YES I want to make this – exactly as is. I love it. And the colors and design would look so great in my house. I feel a bit guilty thinking about it as I rarely make something for me, but this is so me. Love it.

I would think I had died and gone to heaven if this quilt were on my bed. It is one of the most beautiful that I've ever seen.
I LOVE these fabrics. What an amazing wrap up to the giveaway!
Such a generous gift! I love french general
That fabric takes my breath away too. Thanks for the month long give away. It has been fun to see the fabric that you have loved and now wanted to share. Thanks again.
Wow! Quite a wrap up to a great. Month of give aways. I would love this one. Thanks for the chance.
Love reds!
You have been incredibly generous and it has been an adventure to see some of your stashings. I have a lot of "fancy " material for period hats and costumes and there are some fabrics I just love to fondle. I know I should get rid of it, there isn't enough to use unless I really finagle the patterns but I love to see and touch it. So I'm still amazed you could de stash like you have. Happy Birthday and thanks.
aaaahhhhhh, all that red is speaking to me…moda lines are my faves
I would like to make a quit for my girlfriend and this giveaway would go a long way to making it happen!
I have used French General fabrics before and love them. Thank-you for the giveaway.
Oh My Gosh! RED and STARS! Who wouldn't love those! Thanks for the chance, and for sharing with everyone.
Pretty fabrics–love the bird one especially! In my quilt stash, 2011 is a new item (one I've just started thinking about doing!) Thanks for the chance!
Gorgeous reds! I am inspired by your love for French General. I agree, Lumiere de Noel is a fabulous pattern. I would love to sew this up in time for the holidays. Many thanks for your giveaways.
Lissa thank you for your extreme generousity! I've had such a great time, playing along and checking out all your beautiful Moda fabric giveaways. I'd love to think I would be as generous, if I had a sewing room packed with so much Moda goodness. I might just lock myself inside and pet all the Moda fabric beauties. ;-> Toni Anne
This is the best! I love that fabric! It would be so great! thanks for all the sharing.
WOW! What a beautiful kit! Thanks for all your generosity and can't wait to see the finished quilt (whoever gets it!!)
I would LOVE to make that quilt at my retreat in November. Those colours blow me away!!
Thanks.
LOVE French General. Thank you for being so generous with your collection – I know it has made lots of people very happy!
Lovely, lovely fabrics. Thanks for the chance to win.
I have admired anything French General creates and would love to make a quilt using the red and white give away fabric. Thank you for the chance.
