my latest fabric obsession

7 Comments
Inspiration comes from everywhere but I am super excited about a very simple little thing. 
Watch the Moda designer schoolhouse and 
look at the American Jane ABC project. 
She is so clever and used her ABC fabric
 to create a selvedge border for her quilt. 
I will start hoarding this fabric to 
be able to label my quilts. How fun would it be to spell your name and 
date the back of your quilt and sew it right into the backing?
Thought I would pass along the info in case you want to start hoarding also.

 

This fabric is from American Jane’s Potluck collection. 
Shown above is the red version, Stock # 21645-12.

 Sandy spelled all her fabric collections along with
creating her own Giant Selvedge borders

Don’t make me wrestle any of you for this fabric.

Thank you for helping me get my sewing room in order. It is less than 
1 month until Market so I am about to dive in and tear it up again.

The best giveaway for last

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. 
I am obsessed about the moda designers and the fabrics they create.
 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:
