A few of my favorite things

Here is the pincushion that goes with the bookazine giveaway listed below!!

Okay, who is hungry? for projects to use the moda precuts that is. A beautiful book by Edie McGinnis from Kansas City Star is hitting the shelves. KCS has been so kind to let me share with you an excerpt of the book making it one of my favorites.YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY! Another of my favorite things is the new Bags, Pillows and Pincushions issue from American Patchwork & Quilting. It is a BOOKAZINE. What is that? A book and a magazine morphed into one. Who doesn’t want that? Leave me a comment here about your favorite project on the
Moda Bake Shop and you will be entered in a drawing for this bookazine and a Big & Bold pincushion made by yours truly- me. Designed by Jill Abeloe Mead. I am also making the Wool & Whimsy pincushion by Roseann Meehan Kermes but I am keeping it for myself. (I will post a picture of the pincushion as soon as I get my camera fixed. Drawing this weekend.)

Another one of my favorite things is the new book I received in the mail. Wonderful eye candy for any quilter.
A Beautiful book by Gwen Marston. Photographed by my friend Gregory Case. Each of the quilts are beautifully photographed full size as well as a close up to show detail.

I am thinking the bella solids would be wonderful for any of these.

We have been honored to have Gregory take pictures of the moda booth during quilt market. Can you imagine trying to gather all these people to get in 1 picture? Well Gregory did with a little help from Elena and myself. (I am hiding in the very back)
A small part of the special people that bring moda to you!!

They are my very Favorite things (except my family)
Oops gotta go.. Bachelor is on.

    Right now my favorite Moda Bakeshop project has to be Camille’s table runner…it was so quick and fun to put together! But I really do love all of the Moda Bakeshop projects…I started out bookmarking Moda Bakeshop posts…but then I realized I liked them all, so there was no need to bookmark…it’s a terrific resource!

    I am loving that braided rag rug!!! So useful, especially since I don’t much like store-bought rugs! Thanks for makine me check it out!

    honestly i love everything on the moda bake shop site, too bad i did not have moda products on hand to make. still trying to find a shop nearby that sells it. i am new to quilting so i do not have a stash, and due to finances and having 4 kids, cannot build it quickly. but hopefully can soon. i am making your quilt that is in the mccalls quilting magazine though. have a good day!! thanks, Stacey luv2knit@roadrunner.com

    I just love moda! THey have the greatest designed fabrics ever! They never lose their appeal it seems. I liked the braided rug they made, but I couldn’t see myself using their wonderful fabrics to make one…I would use ugly material to make one and not feel guilty LOL. I do want to make a stacked coins baby quilt sometime in the near future too.

    i can't make a decision.
    so here are my top 3 fav recipes on the moda bake shop.
    {and in no particular order.}
    monica's belgian waffles quilt.
    amanda's stacked coins baby quilt.
    and vanessa's braided rag rug.

    i can't wait to get my hands on ap&q's new bookazine.

    What is not to love about the Moda Bakeshop? My friend, Vickie E, has already started the rag rug, and I love the new quilt that was posted today, Belgian Waffle. Please enter me for your drawing and keep “Moda-ing On”!

    First, let me just say I luv the Moda Bake Shop and all of the ideas. My fav would have to be the chenille hot pads. Thanks for the opportunity to win a giveaway.

  17. Iva says:

    Tough choice, but I’ll narrow it down to the Swanky Turnover Quilt (Belgian Waffle), Stacked Coins Baby Quilt, and Charming Pincushions. Sorry, couldn’t do just one 😀

  18. Simply This and That says:

    That book looks delish! ;o) There are so many great projects on the MBS blog, too hard to pick just one! Camille’s Table Runner I really liked and made one myself. Monica’s quilt, very cute and thinkin I’m gonna have to make it. Oh and the rug from Vanessa! I want one of those too! I have the perfect place for it too. ooxx`jodi

  22. acecraig100 says:

    It was really hard to pick a favorite. My favorite is the Swanky Turnover Quilt. But I had a hard time choosing between it, the table runner and the bow tie quilt.

    It is fun that you are doing a giveaway. I would love to be so lucky.

  23. V and Co. says:

    okay i have to go with i like too many of them but what i want to try next when i get some free time (AHAHahahah…hmmm) is angela’s nap sack. i think that would be perfect for my boys to play video games or watch a movie in!

  27. Sam says:

    I happen to Love the hello betty bow tie quilt…and the stacked coins quilt. I’m going to have to try them both!!! thanks for the giveaway!

  28. Dawn says:

    Ohhhh, there are a few “must have’s” I need to go get!! Thanks for sharing! Now my fav project on MBS…there are too many to choose from…but if I have to pick one, I guess it would be..baby burp cloths and bibs.

  29. grendelskin says:

    Gee, you’re going to make me pick just one??? Betty’s Baby Bowties and Sugar Cookies are on my Must Do list; I’m not quite experienced enough for Belgian Waffles – all those bitty triangles scare me – so that’s on the Must Do Later list!

  32. Carol says:

    That looks like a great book. My favorite project on Moda Bake Shop is the Li’l Zipper Bags, I’ve made 4 of them, so fun to make.

    Lucky me, I am leaving a comment after the sweet Punkie Pie! I love the Moda Bake shop and I am torn to have 2 favorites… I love the Sugar Cookies table runner (I have printed this out and am waiting for the hex template) and I really love the Stacked Coins. I have quilted for a long time and have never made this pattern… but the fabrics and the tutorial make it look so fun! This one will be my next project:)Since I spend a lot of time with Moda… Moda is my favorite family too!

  36. Ruth B says:

    Hard to choose a favorite because they are all so darn cute. I guess I would have to go with the Sugar Cookie pattern with hexagons. I’m feeling the need to make one of those. After making a queen size grandmother’s flower garden quilt for my daughter I didn’t think I would ever make another hexagon project but I’m warming up to a little project. With hexagons. Again.

  41. Cathy M says:

    How in the world could anyone pick just one favorite? I love the rug and the pin cushion but those penny pockets…I think those might be my fav. Oh heck. I love all the projects.

  43. Tammy in Ontario, Canada says:

    I love everything in the Bake Shop! Well who doesn’t ..whether it’s a bake shop filled with chocolate or beautiful feeling eye candy like MODA! I couldn’t choose just one so I picked 3 of my favourites. IN order starting with my absolute favourite (which I would love to start today!) is the Braided rug, Stacked coins and the Sugar Cookies. Thanks for the great ideas. I love all my MODA fabrics and love to work with the Jelly rolls.

    I just love Amandajean’s stacked coins baby quilt and Monica’s Belgian Waffles quilt. I’m goign to make one of them for a baby shower, I just can’t decide which one!

  45. MooseQuilts says:

    The Moda Bakeshop is simply fabulous! My two favorites are the Stacked Coins and the Belgian Waffles. What a clever way to use the turnovers! I think I will actually make the stacked coins as a shop sample so when customers ask for the patterns I can just tell them where to find it.
