County Fair Blog Hop

Wow - good thing I checked my blog! I thought I had this scheduled for 8am this morning....oops, it's like the alarm that didn't go off!

It's my turn on the Moda blog hop! After 23 hops, you've finally landed here! Hopefully I will be able to tell you everything you ever wanted to know about me...but didn't want to ask! I've had fun reading all the designer's blogs this month...now here are my answers to the Moda questions, whether you want to know them or not.....

What's your favorite fair food?

Any day at the fair is a good day - because of the food! After walking around the livestock, craft and artisan areas, I wander over to the food area. Since I only find myself at a County Fair once in a blue moon - I go for a bit of everything. My new favorite fair food is the chocolate bacon - a bit of salty and sweet all at the same time - sometimes it's even frozen...why not?! I also love the deep fried cheese curd - a specialty at the Wisconsin fairs. Oh, and the cotton candy - who can resist the cotton candy! There is no such thing as moderation at the fair - is there?

State Fairs have become known for what they can FRY? What do you fry?

I fry french fries and serve them with mussels cooked in a white wine and garlic sauce - known in France as Moules-Frites.  One of my favorite Moules-Frites recipes is here.
My favorite place in the world for french fries is at L'Entrecote in Toulouse (they also have spots in Paris and Bordeaux).  The best part of L'Entrecote, besides the fact that you don't have to order off of the menu - everyone gets the same meal....entrecote, french fries and salad -  is the fact that they keep returning to fill your plate when it is empty.  And the sauce, the secret sauce they pour over their meat - no one can figure out what it is - even though many of us have tried...and you know who you are.

What's your guilty pleasure?

Big surprise here.....more food!  My guilty pleasure is(are) Jelly Bellys - I can sit for hours thinking up new flavor combinations - and then being the official taster, this usually results in me feeling sick and swearing off of them for a year!  I also love a good bottle of French wine - but I do not love these two culinary treats together - definitely not!

Enough about food.....

What's on your bucket list?

I would like to take a textile tour of of India - the tour would include nothing but sitting around and watching fabric be blockprinted, woven or dyed all day, everyday.  In the evenings, I would stay at an Indian palace and learn how to cook Indian food.  I would watch a lot of Indian movies and wear a sari.  I like the idea of living in a different culture for a while - learning to live in another world.  JZ doesn't think I will ever be able to do this since I can hardly wait 30 minutes for a bus.  But I have faith.


What inspires your work?

My work is inspired by an old house in the middle of the South of France surrounded by lavender fields. And stripes - I love stripes.  Every time I see someone dressed in stripes I feel good - there is something fresh, simple and clean about stripes...they are timeless.

Coco in Stripes

What movie do you watch again & again?

Coco Before Chanel
and
The Great Gatsby
and
Jules et Jim
and
Bright Star

What's on your night stand?
(I really wish I had a picture of this - but my computer is on edge and I can't download anymore pics!)
Lavender sachet, stack of Cote Sud magazines, pictures of Sofia, and an old wooden jewelry box - filled with all sorts of old beads, rosaries and other charms I have collected.  I also have a book or three - one that I am reading, one that my mom gave me and one for inspiration.....The Root of Wild Madder by Brian Murphy, Tattoos on The Heart by Father Gregory Boyle, and Summers in France by Kathryn Ireland (thanks Mogull!)

Tell us about your pets...


This is Sofia and her pet chinchilla - Aladdin.  Actually he doesn't live with us, we just sponsor him so he can live in a natural habitat at the Moorpark Training Zoo.  We are allowed to visit him once a month - which we have done once - he's cute and very soft.

This is me at an angora goat farm we found in the South of France this past summer.  This isn't really my pet - but I loved this little baby kid and would have loved to have taken him home with me!  He fell asleep in my arms - and I fell in love.

In real life, we have two cats, Johnny and Boots - both found us - while looking for food and love. Johnny is the tough boy and Boots is the show cat - well, at least that's what we tell them.  This is a picture of Johnny sleeping - something he does very well.

What creative plans are in your future?


Besides Rouenneries Deux being released in the Spring 2012, which is very exciting, I am working on a paper arts line for EK Success which will also be available in the Spring and a home decorating fabric, trim and wallpaper line which will be available in the Spring of 2013.

Best of Show!
Ok - enough about me! How about a fun County Fair project designed with our new collection, Rouenneries Deux! This simple project can be made out of all the scraps you never want to throw away. Use these pins to commemorate special events or tie onto packages for the holiday season.

Download Ribbon Pattern Here

Now...for the really fun part! (And we're almost done here!)  I have a handful of precuts to giveaway to a few lucky winners - all you have to do is leave me a comment and tell me what your guilty pleasure is! As long as you know all of mine...I may as well know some of yours! Thanks for playing along and be sure to visit Lisa from Primitive Gatherings tomorrow!

Au Revoir!

Looking forward to your new line in the fall of 2012. Guilty pleasure has to be coconut cream pie - yummy!

Vee said...

One of my guilty pleasures is staying up in the night after everyone is asleep and reading books. And after an hour or so of reading, drinking a big cup of hot chocolate and then reading for another hour, before I force myself to go sleep so I can wake up with the rest to go forward with my day. And the most guilty I feel when I do this on a week day.

LOVE your fabric!!!! Thanks for the opportunity to win :)

Ladybug said...

My guilty pleasure is staying up late to finish a book. I hate to put down a book with fewer than 50 pages left. I just can't quit when I'm so close to the end.

Four dogs and one quilter said...

My guilty pleasure would have to be shopping on-line for fabric. Thanks for the chance to win some of your beautiful fabrics.

Linda said...

Guilty pleasure.....hot chocolate with whipped cream and 2 slices of cinnamon toast. I love all things cinnamon! I'm glad I remembered to check back. The chocolate bacon looks pretty good....bacon is also on the list of guilty pleasures!

Apple Avenue Quilts said...

now that I'm getting old though I don't feel guilty I just love'em!

thanks for the chance to win some of your beautiful fabrics.

Happy sewing

MollyP said...

So glad to hear Rouenneries part deux is coming out. I loved the original. My guilty pleasure is time for me. It feels so wrong to take half a Saturday and sew for the pleasure of it, or lay out in the sun reading a book; but I love it when I do. Dark chocolate covered cashews would be another. Putting the two together is a day well spent. :) Thanks!

Mary Jean said...

I guess my guilty pleasure would have to be buying fabric and I'll be looking forward to your new line. Thanks for your post and the cute ribbon project.

Colleen M said...

My guilty pleasure is chocolate. I love your reds!

Anonymous said...

My guilty pleasure is chocolate. I take a small block of very dark chocolate melt it in the microwave on a piece of parchment paper. Then, I add chopped almonds and craisins to the chocolate. Pop it into the freezer next and wait 10-15 minutes. The waiting is the hardest part. Then time to enjoy. It is good with wine!

Thanks for the chance to win.

I love every piece of fabric you have designed. Your newest one I think might be my favorite. My hubby spent many years traveling to Toulouse and I would always say - maybe next year I will go with you. It just never worked out. But my real guilty pleasure is milk chocolate covered carmel. Thank you for sharing a piece of your life with us.

My Guilty Pleasure is crap tv. Crap like "Hoarders". I can't help but watch in horror.

Kathryn said...

As a working mother of four teenage daughters (yes, four!) who has endured 3 major earthquakes and around 8,000 aftershocks, my guilty pleasure is simple - to have a lovely bath alone, without listening to who stole what from who's room and 'where is my.....,? I put it out to wash days ago' just me and the bubbles! I don't ask for much, just half and hour of peace! from Christchurch, New Zealand

P.S. Love the sound of a 'fabric' trip around India - can I come too?

P.S.S. Can't wait for Spring 2012!

Sharrieboberry said...

I like to put real cream on my cereal. And cream on strawberries or raspberries. I don't do this all the time, just occasionally.

I also buy too many books even though I have an ebook reader. I justify the books by thinking that I can ALWAYS pass them on but the pile is getting higher and higher....

My guilty pleasure is cheesecake bite and mini carrotcake cupcakes this gluten-free bakery near me make! I buy them intending on spreading the indulgence out over a period of a week or so but invariably they're gone within two days!

I came out of my chair when I saw that Rouenneries is getting a remake!! My all time favorite line and I am ecstatic at the though of getting a chance to make some more with it! Even my hubby loved the line so I get to make things for all sorts of room in the house because it reminds him of his favorite college team colours, and for me it is like historical Canadiana, obviously with part of the French influence.

Fleurette said...

I could eat cake and chocolate everyday ;)
Thank you for the lovely ribbon pattern.

What a lovely blog. Thank you for the project and the opportunity. My guilty pleasure is sitting and stitching or sewing with friends, and letting all of my "grown-up" responsibilities go for a little while. Oh, and EATING! lol

Guilty pleasure... CHOCOLATE.. pretty much any kind. I have given it up, but when I want to be REALLY bad.. yep. I give in and have just a bit. I can't buy a large portion, because there is no off button on my intake of chocolate.

Carla said...

guilty pleasure? Cotton Candy I think. Good thing it's just once a year. Thanks for the chance to win some beautiful fabric.

Oh, guilty pleasure - that's easy! The movie "Sweet Home Alabama" - love the line, "Why would you want to be married to me? . . . So I can kiss you anytime I want!" Love your fabric and your kitty is to die for!

My guilty pleasure? Definitely buying too much fabric that I don't really have a plan for!

potato chips and french onion dip but chocolate in any shape or form would be a very close 2nd.

Love the ribbon! Very pretty in your fabrics.

Fabric (and rouenneries is my fav and I searched and searched to get some as I saw it after released), linen, fibers of all kinds! Chocolate, any but I prefer dark!

Hanging with friends - stitching and sewing for hours and hours.

I like to watch bad tv...like 16 and pregnant, teen mom, and some of those TLC shows when the kids are in bed and no one else is home...and I usually drink wine or eat some bad for me once in a blue moon treat (ice cream, brownies, etc)

Love all of the Moda fabrics, can never make up my mind which I like best; so buy whatever I want to, if there is a specific project in mind. Thanks for a chance to win some beautiful MODA FABRIC!!
