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.
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

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.

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
annual Chateau Getaway!
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......

I live in a tiny village with less than 100 inhabitants just outside Gloucester in England!
I would have never thought of the necklace. Love it! I live in a small town near Mtn. Home, Arkansas.
Southern Illinois is my current home, Godfrey to be exact. But I lived in Northern Illinois for 47 years! Laura J.B.
I live in Rochester Hills, Michigan - about an hour (depending on traffic) north of Detroit!
And Rancho Palos Verdes - I love it there. My sister lives there and it's such a gorgeous place. I've been to the Wayfarer's Chapel and one of my favorite restaurants was Viva La Pasta - although it's no longer there from what my sister tells me. It is a truly beautiful place.
And thank you for the change for the giveaway.
I live in Shrewsbury in the lovely county of Shropshire, England, very near the Welsh border. So looking forward to your new collection: the lovely, soft colours you use really suit our (grey!) English light x
I live in Omaha, Nebraska and was fortunate to visit France a few years ago...I loved the French countryside and the pace of life and appreciation they show for the small things of everyday. I find the colors of your new line to be very inspiring. I'm not a 'Red' person, but these shades could make me a convert!
I live in NC where we are loving cool days and cooler nights!
I enjoy using precuts and those chosen by someone else start the creative juices flowing.
LOVE this new fabric!!!! I live in Richmond, TX, but my real hometown is Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
What a fabulous tour. Visiting the Wayfarere's Chapel is now on my bucketlist. I live on a farm near our hometown of Fowler Kansas; population 500. jmh
I've lived in OH for over 20 years, but still consider CO as my home. You can't beat the view from the mountains.
Fascinating! I have never been to France, but would love to visit!
We have lived in McKinney, Texas for almost 5 years now. My husband is retired USAF (22 yrs) so we moved frequently. I am a Texan thru and thru...born in Austin, raised in San Marcos.

Hi:) Cute necklace!!
I live in Copperas Cove Tx next to the largest military base in the world. Ft Hood TX.Lived ehr for almost 40 years:) Am a military brat and married another brat and we stayed:)

I have lived in Mason City, Iowa all of my life. It is the birthplace and boyhood home of Meredith Wilson, and we have recently completely refurbished the Frank Lloyd Wright Park Inn Hotel. Both of our hometowns are beautiful...though completely different.
Your hometown is beautiful. I think my home state is beautiful too, but we have more corn and bean fields. I live in Harlan, Iowa, but I grew up on a farm in southwest Iowa and wouldn't have changed that for the world.
What a clever way to usr those cute little precuts. Everyone of your lines are my favorite. I must say that I'm a little disappointed that you don't live in France. I can understand because I'm a California girl, too.
I live in Boynton Beach Florida. No mountains or hills so no awesome ocean views. We pretty much have to look at it from sea level! Love the necklace. Can't wait to make one.
I live in the Northern Panhandle of WV--in Glen Dale, where both country music star Brad Paisley and Lady Gaga's mother grew up and graduated from the local high school.
Would love to win some of your fabrics! Wish I could visit France!

Lovely fabric! My hometown is Pinehurst Texas just NW of Houston.
My hometown isn't that far from yours...I grew up in Costa Mesa, right next to Newport Beach. In fact, I remember going to Marine World the year it opened! Now I've migrated North to Oregon where I live at the End of the Oregon Trail in Oregon City. Our population is 30,000 which is just right for me!
I grew up in Hawthorne/Torrance, California and moved to Diamond Bar when my daughter was a toddler. I also lived in Murrieta, California before I retired and moved to Searcy, Arkansas, the town where my grandparents (both sides) used to live.

What a lovely fabric collection. I would love to incorporate pieces into a scrapbook of a family trip we took to France a few years back. My hometown is Gilbert, Arizona. We are having a treat this week . . . the temperature is only in the high 90s!
I live in a small town at the very top of the state of IL at the WI border. The town, South Beloit, is very small with only about 5500 residents so it's usually a quiet place and none of the busy traffic you see in the larger towns/cities. For that reason I love living here. The lack of anything to do is the bad part according to my kids who always complained about that. LOL I like quiet and the fact we can drive about an hour into the Chicago suburbs to shop and eat at our favorite two restaurants whenever we want to do that.
That's a great necklace. Thank you for the instructions. I LOVE the newest fabric collection. Such pretty designs.
Kerri B.
I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: the city of brotherly love! :) Lots of history here!

The town I have lived in is Grand Island, NE. but I was born in Germany due to my Dad being in the Air Force & we lived all over the country.

My parents ended up retiring there, too. Grand Island had 3 quilt stores with each one offering different styles of fabric, so there is something for every quilter here.

I'm Kathleen from NW Montana right next door to Glacier National Park, the most gorgeous place in the U.S.A.! Thank you for the great intro to Rancho Palos Verdes, California 90275. :)
I consider San Diego to be my hometown, even though I wasn't born there. I've lived many places & San Diego is hands down my favorite. BTW...I adore your new fabric line...can't wait to see some of it in person.
I have loved all your fabric lines, but I think this one is my favorite - I'll know for sure when I can see and feel! I live near a small town in eastern Oregon. A farming and ranching area. A great place to raise a family.
Yes, I would love to win some of your fabric, I'm drooling already and planning a project. Thanks for this chance.
I live in Austin Texas but I grew up in San Pedro just outside of Rancho Palos Verdes! I loved reading through your blog, it brought back a lot of childhood memories :)
I live in a small town 20 minutes south of Austin, Texas called Kyle.
Visited your shop in Silverlake, and felt like I was in Paris! Love your fabrics and looking forward to the new collection. I live in Visalia, CA
The necklace is beautiful and a great gift! I live in Munich, Germany, a beautiful place to be;) Thanks for the giveaway and greetings from germany, Hildy
How I would love to join one of your chateau getaways in the south of France! I have recently moved to the Mississippi Gulf coast (far enough inland though to not be "too" battered by the hurricanes).
What priviledge to live where you live! Awesome spot. I am from a very small village in the Northern part of the Netherlands, called Tolbert. It is surrounded by meadows...and you might know, no hills and mountains here at all, we love to visit those elsewhere in Europe in our summer vacation! Love this blog hop, and most off all the french general fabrics, allready made a quilt top with Rounneries in combination with Rural jardin. Thanks for a change to win you new design!
My hometown is in Contoocook/Hopkinton, New Hampshire! I grew up in the middle of apple orchards in a colonial farmhouse built around 1740. Although I live in NC, my heart is in New England!
My hometown is Temecula, Ca, although no ocean views its been a wonderful town to raise our family in. I used to go to Rancho Palos Verdes about once a year to visit my moms cousin and their really cute three boys (I secretly wanted to marry one of those boys). I remember going to Marineland also! That was before Sea World was ever built in San Diego. How fun you actually worked there.
I don't know if there are words to describe how gorgeous your fabrics are! I have something from every line you have produced and of course am looking forward to seeing your new line in person - as nothing every looks quite as nice on the internet. Thank you for bringing such beautiful fabric to life
Queen Creek, Arizona is my hometown but I have lived in Gilbert, Arizona for the past 26 years. QC has been completely changed from when I grew up there but I have some great memories. I went to Marineland, it was great :)
My hometown is Reno, NV and thank you for the chance to win some of your glorious fabric!

I live in a small town in Central California called Visalia - about an hour south of Fresno. The beautiful scenery comes in the spring and fall when we have great views of the sequoias.
I live in Baraboo, WI which is about 45 minutes north of Madison, WI. This is not where I originally grew up, but it sure has become my "hometown".

Since then we have lived in GA and now are back in IL in a retirement community and love it.The necklace pattern is wonderful. Some else to do with all of the wonderful fabrics.

My hometown is Philadelphia, home of the Liberty Bell. Where I live now is Pine Island, MN. Love the necklace.
I live in North Kingstown, RI. I love it here and have always lived in this town and area. We are near the bay and a short drive to the ocean, so we spend the weekend walking along the beaches and lighthouse grounds. Love the shades in the new line.
