quilts • Moda Lissa

Are you ready for a beautiful new book for the holidays?
If so, now is your chance to get an early Christmas present
from one of these talented designers.

Sunday November 22nd there will be several giveaways on the designers, blogs, Instagrams or Facebook pages. We are all different just like the quilts in this book so each designer is doing her own giveaway on one of their social media platforms, so you have to check it out to see where. One thing we do all have in common is that we love quilts and sharing surprises.

I will be giving away my book on my Instagram page – @modalissa

so be sure and follow me and enter on November 22nd.

I wanted to share the other designers in the book so you can drool over all the yummy quilts in the book.

First of all i thought I would sneak in a few pics of my grandkids. Jarrod and Lindsey’s little angel, Imrie Reign Alexander.

and of course Nolan delivering a Valentine package to his cousin.

I am participating in the third annual American Patchwork & Quilting Quilt-Along.

This year the folks at Meredith have all kinds of projects to make as you Quilt-along. Two patterns in APQ, one in Quilts and More, and one online, all with one theme—this year it’s plus-sign quilts. They are calling the quilt-along “It All Adds Up.”
I have always loved the simplicity of the RED CROSS logo
and now to see all the popularity of Cross/Plus Sign quilts, I knew I ~~wanted~~ needed a reason to quilt-along.

Here are the “It All Adds Up” quilt-along projects:

1. “Plus Postage” quilt from designer Susan Ache

Instagram: yardgrl60

2. “Grand Total” from designer Pat Bravo

Instagram: patbravodesign

website: patbravo.com

Instructions are in the April 2016 issue of APQ for both of these quilts.

3. “Easy Addition” from designer Brenda M. Ratliff

websites: justabitfrayed.com and pinkcastlefabrics.com

Instructions are in the Spring 2016 issue of Quilts and More

I had a hard time making up my mind on which one to make. I started out with Susan Ache’s version but then had an idea of who I wanted to make this quilt for. The end product needed to be a bigger quilt and I didn’t want to make more blocks, so I decided to morph Susan Ache and Pat Bravo together. They both live in Florida so they do have that in common. Makes sense to me!
