  23. Nanbon44 says:

    I loved the Pillow talk hop, so much fun to see all the pillows the designers came up with. There are even a few that I got ideas from, so I might have to put aside my quilts for a short while and make some fun pillows… Now have you got ideas for bags????

  30. Kay says:

    This was seeewww much fun!! Thank you for all that you do to keep us inspired and informed. I'll be making myself at least 5 or 6 of the pillows made by the designers. Of course I'll have different choices for fabric to accent my decor but the designs are fantastic. Thanks again and congrats to Debbie for answering all those ?'s correctly.

  36. Polly says:

    Pillow Talk was a GRAND idea and thoroughly enjoyable! I have added so many new blogs to follow. Pure pleasure. Moda has always been and I'm sure always will be my very favorite fabric! Now, it's easy to see why. But my lament is the same it's been for the past 5 years! "So many quilts – so little time."

  38. Holly and little people says:

    Whooo, I'm so glad I waited a day or two before trying to pull all those answers together. I loved getting to know all the designers and learning more about them and how they got started and how they continue to do such amazing things. Thanks so much for this fun adventure.

  41. quilt nana says:

    I love all the MODA designers. Moda fabric is just different. I am glad I don't have to pick just one. I really enjoyed getting to know all of you. (Makes you seem so real to me, not just one of those famous people. Thanks. OH I Would would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win.

  44. KatieQ says:

    I've got to be honest, even though I visited every one of the blogs during the Pillow Hop I only remembered 14. Edyta at Laundry Basket Quilts, 15. Sandy Gervais and 16. Anne Sutton at Bunny Hill. Of course answering 18. and 17. was was easy, I was at Woodstock and I made 4 new blog friends.
    I think the bloggers who took the time to go back and find all of the answers not only deserve a prize, but a round of applause. I hope they can hear me clapping right now.
    Thanks Lissa, Moda not only offers great fabrics, they provide us the chance to get to know about the designers behind the fabric we love.
