Shipshewana Fabric Show

It's that time again. This is the Shipshewana Fabric Show that debuts all of the new fabrics from Quilt Market to the local region.

Coincidentally, I also get the joy of loving on new fabrics and quilts. I even made a couple!

So that's the Moda corner featuring most of the new lines. I think it's much better to look at than the dreary weather outside:

And this is my little section of the room:

Most of these are quilts from my book, Seamingly Scrappy, or from magazines. 

But here's the couple I made for the show:

This is my new version of Coinage featuring Bartholo-meow's Reef by Tim & Beck. The only adjustment I made to work with the bundle of fabric I was given was to make the accent sashing scrappy. I used a mixture of the green prints from the line and I think it turned out well. 

Also, I remade my Spun Sugar pattern on the Moda Bake Shop with the new Mill Book Series from Howard Marcus. It's completely different from the original. I also adjusted the borders on this one just adding a scrappy 6" border instead of the original design. It worked well with the Fat Quarter bundle I had. 

I'm posting from my iPod so I can't link these back to the original posts just yet, but give me a couple days and I'll be sure to do that. Please excuse me while I go love on new goodies. Which is your favorite new line?

Time for the Bake Shop!

My latest creation for the Moda Bake Shop has been added to their website this morning. Hop on over to check out Spun Sugar by clicking here.

I have to admit, between:
multiple family members coming back "home" for a couple weeks each
releasing the latest Ruby Blue pattern
vacation (I'll update you later I swear)
and Cottonpicker's Quilt Shop moving this weekend
I almost forgot about my Bake Shop project until I logged on the computer this morning and realized what day it is.

The holidays and I have a love/hate relationship, but I think most of us do. I have most of the Christmas shopping done, just a few stragglers that are really hard to shop for. And the baking part will get fit in when it gets fit in, and I'm just taking it one day at a time.

It really didn't hit me how close we were to Thanksgiving until we were in the Bahamas and all of the shopping centers were decorated to the nines with Christmas. I have a picture of one of the prettiest trees I have seen so far this year (and for November 20th I have seen alot already) with palm trees and beautiful yachts behind it.

But more on that later, go check out Spun Sugar on the Moda Bake Shop and come back here and tell me what you think! I'm working with an online shop that's getting kits together of this quilt, the fabric doesn't arrive in stores until December so once I know more details on when she expects it I will give you the details so you too can make Spun Sugar out of Sugar Pop by Liz Scott.

Take care and until next time!
