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.

    Hi Lissa,
    oh, you’re asking hard questions…I have to admit I don’t have one favourite…but (until now) at least four projects that are on my to do list…
    1. Stacked Coins Baby Quilt by Crazy Mom (love it!)
    2. Camille’s Simple Little Table Runner
    3. Belgian Waffles by Monica of Happy Zombie ~ I think it’s a PERFECT idea to use Turnovers…
    4. Pennie Pockets…those are too cute!
    Sorry, couln’t name just one…
    Cheers, Julia

    That bookazine is great. I love the braided rug. It reminds me of a rug I had in my room growing up that was made by my great-grandma.

  5. Pieceful Jane says:

    So many great project in the bake shop, how could I choose just one?! Maybe the sweet candy quilt…or the baby bowties…or the belgian waffles…or the braided rug…

  7. Christine says:

    My favorite is the Sugar Cookies Table Runner – I love charm packs and it looks so difficult when it’s done but the directions are a piece of cake! If I don’t win your giveaway I’m going to hit Barnes and Noble to get my own copy!!

    I am in love with the stacked coins quilt. So simple and elegant. All of the projects are beautiful, even the new necklace, but that one just popped off my computer screen at me. 🙂

    I can’t decide between the Sweet Candy Quilt and the Sugar Cookies Table topper. Basically, I just love the Moda Bake Shop for the ideas, great pictures and instructions. Thanks~

    I would love that book, as I am really into purses. My favorite back shop item is hard to choose, there are so many neat things. But, only one,huh? It is the Penny Pockets. They are so,easy, breezy, quiltingly youthful, for all ages. They just remind me of a simpler time, when things at least seemed easier.

    I´m new to quilting/patchwork and sewing so I will say my favourite, at the moment, is the simple table runner (with ric rak at the ends).
    Or the pincushion 🙂
    I would love to go into the draw.

    So many cool projects… Camille’s little tablerunner… love the nap sack and the baby play mat… the gypsy scarves are gorgeous… so much creativity. A Bookazine with pillows and bags – perfect!!!

  17. Camille says:

    Can I enter too? My favorite project is the Sultry jelly roll quilt. I AM going to make that one. And about 20 other things. Love the favorite things post idea. I might have to copy you…

    And wow, what a beautiful book!

    Now I know why it is called the Bake Shop–everything is yummy–it’s hard to choose a favorite. I do really have to make myself a Sugar Cookie table runner soon–maybe a Swanky one though.

  19. Nancy says:

    OH!!! Just look at all the yummy precuts on the front of that Bookazine. I love them. I have been working on a table topper all day today using a Moda jelly roll. I noticed Camille said she is going to make the Sultry jelly roll quilt. I think that one is to die for myself and will have to order online because none of the shops in my area ordered the Sultry collection in. ***sigh*** Sometimes I wonder at their choices. They just don’t seem to cover the entire spectrum from bright and cheery to elegant and beautiful. They are all beautiful of course but some…well, some just speak to me. Ah well, thanks for the look at the projects. Hey! Why are you hiding in the back of the group photo??? LOL

    Oh, I would love to win almost as much as I love Moda Bake Shop. I just did a post on my blog about my burp clothes I made. I just loved that tutorial, but I also loved the Baby Stacked Coins quilt and the charming pincushion….too many good tutorials to choose from.

  21. RachelJane says:

    Mmmmm…that book is gorgeous! Even the cover is yummy.
    I love Moda Bake Shoppe; it’s such a great idea. I think my favourite project (and it was hard to choose) is the Sultry jelly roll quilt.
    Oh I would love to win the bookazine (love that name!) and the pincushion. You are so generous.

    Hi Lissa – what a great giveaway!
    I personally like the Stacked Coins Baby Quilt by crazymomquilts, because it is so easy and a great gift to make in a snap!

  28. LauraT says:

    I love the Moda Bakeshop webiste. My favorite is the Valentine Pennie Pockets. I made 12 of them for valentine day presents for my quilting group.

    I love everything in Moda Bake Shop, and all the Moda fabrics, all the patterns they provided and … all from Moda, you know.
    Just only a few days I found this Moda Bake Shop, and viewing all the recipes they have, want to make the Valentine Pennie Pockets, lovely and cute!!!
    That’s the pattern I’m going to use in a few days.
    Hugs.
    Mila.

    I like the little table runner with rick rack! So simple looking. Isn’t Gwen’s book wonderful. It is certainly a de-stresser to just sit down and enjoy all the pictures.

  32. eamylove says:

    Since I have actually MADE the Pennie Pockets, I’ll choose that one as my curretn favorite MBS project – but I plan to make many more. Love the bowtie quilt, too!

  41. Violet says:

    First I was going to say the charm pack recipe’s… but now that I saw that selvadge pillow that’s the one I choose.
    Such a lovely design.
    :o)

    I was impressed how to make Baby Playpad. I’d like to make it at once.
    I love your pincushion,too. It’s so pretty looking like colorful tofu!

  47. Christy says:

    I love the Moda Bake shop projects! They are such fun, and things I would never think to make myself. I love the selvage pillow-what a great project using the scraps we usually throw away. I also love those adorable Valentine pennie pockets-too cute!! I love the precuts and it is so fun to see all the different project possibillities. Thanks!
