Moda Blog Hop...and Another Giveaway!

Our new Fall collection with Moda, Chateau Rouge, is coming very soon!  Our Chateau Rouge collection was inspired by a quilt I found in France last summer, that was loaded with different designs...piece by piece I took the quilt apart to find layers of different fabric hidden underneath.  I hope you will enjoy designing with our new line - it is one of my favorite collections we have designed for Moda in the past four years!
To celebrate all of the new Moda lines this Fall, there is a Moda Blog Hop going on and today is Day 6!  The theme of this hop is  Hometown Visit...so here are some of my favorite things about my hometowns:  Rancho Palos Verdes, California, where I grew up; and my current hometown...Silverlake, California, where I live with JZ, Sofia and our two cats, Johnny and Boots; and then a dream hometown, thrown in for good measure!

Rancho Palos Verdes, California 90275
Population of Rancho Palos Verdes: 41,946
My parents moved to RPV in 1970, when I was six years old, and bought Fred Astaires' son's home..there was so much wax on the kitchen floor my mom used to tell us that Fred Astaire must have visited and danced in the kitchen all day long...really mom??  Is this how rumors get started?
My parent's still live in the house - where they have a beautiful view of Catalina Island and the migration of the Pacific gray whales that swim south every December.  

The most interesting landmark in Rancho Palos Verdes is Wayfarers Chapel, designed by Lloyd Wright and built between 1949 and 1951.  Many friends have been married here - it's a beautiful, serene place on the hill overlooking Portugese Bend.

Favorite Restaurant in Rancho Palos Verdes: Nelson's at Terranea.  I like this place because it sits in the exact same place where I worked growing up...in fact I think it sits where the beluga whale tank was located!  I worked in Guest Relations at Marineland - taking tickets, giving tours and working in the guest services office...fun times.

Favorite thing to do in Rancho Palos Verdes:  Walk along the cliffs at sunset, or sit around the kitchen table with friends and family.  It's a fairly isolated community, so when we gather at my mom and dad's house, nobody leaves for a very long time - I think my mom likes it that way!

Silverlake, California 90039
Population of Silverlake: 30,972
JZ, Sofia and I moved to Silverlake in 2003 when we drove across the country on a road trip from New York City.  When we found this beautiful, little gem in Los Angeles we never looked any further - it was the perfect spot for us. 

The most interesting landmark in Silverlake is Silvertop.  John Lautner's "homage to the curve" is a 7,500 square foot house built at the top of the hill.  The house, which has a view from the ocean to the hills was built between 1957 and 1963.  I am lucky enough to know the owner, who invites me over for an occasional glass of wine with my friend JC to enjoy the view from her special home.

Favorite Restaurant in Silverlake:  Little Dom's
This restaurant feels like a neighborhood eatery in New York City...which is where I lived for almost 20 years after graduating from college.  I met JZ in in New York and together we lived and worked in Chelsea, Grandview on Hudson and then Soho.  Sofia was born in NYC and we decided to move west when she started first grade. 

My favorite thing to do near my house is to ride horses in Griffith Park with anyone who's game!

South of France
Nah...not really...but maybe someday!
Although we do live in the South of France every summer for a few weeks while hosting our 

Meanwhile, I am happy to design French-inspired fabric for Moda!  For our Blog Hop Pattern, Jody came up with this wonderful necklace project using our Chateau Rouge 2x2 squares - just leave yourself some time if you want to make it nice and long!

And just to make this worth all of your time...how about a fun giveaway with some of our precuts from Chateau Rouge?  Leave us a message with your name and let me know where your hometown is!  We'll pick out a handful of winners so you can make up your own Chateau Rouge necklace, or quilt or......

My home town is SABETHA, KANSAS and it is the ONLY ONE in the country! There is not another village, town or city named Sabetha. The pioneers had some trouble on the Sabbeth and never moved on. It was a great little town to grow up in. I love, love, love your fabric!
