Moda LOVE Blog Tour


Welcome to the LOVE tour!  This is Moda's annual September blog hop featuring all of their designers and today is the French General day!



We are excited to launch our upcoming collection, Rue Indienne... in stores any day now!  Here is a sneak peek at our collection of patterns for Rue Indienne, designed and sewn by our fabulous quilting team, including Penny, Cheryl, Deb and Kim...


When did you fall in LOVE with quilting/ textiles? 

I fell in love with textiles first!  Twenty years ago, I was traveling in the South of France and started seeing the linen sheets and old linen floral curtain panels at the flea markets.  There were piles of old fabric - and I started buying as much as I could carry back to the car. I had no idea that textiles would change my life forever and lead me down a path of collecting 18th and 19th century fabric that would eventually become the basis for our fabric collection with Moda.

Last year I worked on Michele Muska's new book, Quilting the New Classics, and was determined to learn to quilt!  I started with a sampler quilt but got hung up on the flying geese block!  Then I tried a jelly roll quilt and found that I could piece with my eyes closed...well almost!  I haven't quilted anything since but I assure you, I have a garage full of fabric and someday, someday, I will be quilting in my spare time!



 What fuels you to create? 

Besides inventing new Jelly Belly combinations, (which is the fastest way to make me feel sick - but I still love it!) my creativity is fueled by color, texture and anything old and used.  When I feel totally depleted and lacking of any inspiration, I find myself going back to my collection of old quilts and fabric and I always seem to find something I had missed...a small repair or stitched initials or an additional fabric hidden under an old quilt...it's these little details that feed me and inspire me.  



What is the best part of your design process?

The best part of my design process is working with the people I work with...my husband JZ, the great staff at FG, the design team at Moda and the friends I have made in the quilting industry.  I never imagined I would become part of such a creative group...and I love it!




I LOVE the color......

I think we all know my favorite color...it starts with an R and ends with a D!




When I teach classes or workshops, I LOVE.....

Learning something new from my students!  I have taught our Indigo Workshop dozens of times, but I still love it when a student comes up with a new design technique or dyes a fabric that makes the indigo look totally modern and fresh...there is always something new to learn and teaching workshops is the best way to learn!


This project features a layer cake, charm pack or mini charm, but what is your all time favorite moda precut?

My all time favorite precut is the mini charm!  We are working on our upcoming 2015 Mini Charm Monthly Club which will feature a mini charm and a monthly project...thanks to one of my favorite quilters and FG employee, Amy!  More details to come in December!


Here is the pattern for the layer cake quilt from Moda:

And finally....leave us a note about what you LOVE about quilting...we will pick a handful of winners and send out some of our new Rue Indienne precuts!  Merci!

Fabric selection is what gets me going. Your lines make it so easy because they all feed each other. I appreciate that.

Thanks for a chance at winning some of your new line.

I love the piecing, and coming up with new ways to use my creative side! My favorite precut is the jelly roll, since you unwrap the magic!

Miss Jean said...

I love the creative aspect of quilting - being able to make something from start to finish.

Susan said...

I love the sense of achievement gained from completing any stage of the quilt, even the parts I don't like doing such as basting. In particular I love the anticipation of picking a pattern and fabric colours, and the completed item.

Cynthia H said...

I love everything about quilting ~ the whole process from picking out the fabrics, to deciding on a pattern to putting it together to the final finished project!

SharonD said...

I love the friendly, helpful quilting community.

Unknown said...

I love playing with the colors and the prints. It's very inspiring. And I just love creating. Taking it from just an idea in my brain and then holding that object completed in my hands. It a wonderful feeling !

Maureeneh said...

I love choosing the fabrics-going through my stash and finding what I need and then shopping for the rest.

MahQuilter said...

My favorite is the binding. I know my quilt is finished and I am pleased with it.

KittyAnn said...

I love it all! :D Choosing the pattern, the fabric, cutting, piecing, quilting and, well maybe not so much the binding and hanging sleeve haha. LOVE your new designs!

I love the repetitive process of piecing blocks. The new line is beautiful!

I love putting the quilt top together- pieces of fabric cut up and then sewn back together into new patterns!! Love the feel of nice quality fabrics!

Unknown said...

I love picking fabric to go with a pattern I want to start! I also love hand sewing the binding on a quilt because it means I can get ready to start a new project! Of course, I always have a half dozen projects in the works!

Unknown said...

What I love about quilting? I love the process of finding the right fabric. I love how the blocks come together. I love the whirr of the sewing machine. I love the feel of accomplishment when I add the last stitch.

I love the choosing fabrics, cutting & piecing quilt...not good at quilting...tho have only done a Throw sized quilt (kinda new to Quilty World still)..have only done Stitch in the Ditch! :)

Anne said...

I love the possibilities with the quilt process. I am always surprised by how much one extra fabric can change the whole look/feel of a quilt. BTW- I am loving your new fabric line too.

Janice said...

What I love about quilting is the feeling of accomplishment after a complicated block turns out just right and seeing how pleased your quilt recipient is with it.

I love the design process and get really excited when a quilt is finished.

Cheryl said...

I love how relaxing quilting is after a hard day at work. My sewing room is my happy place.

Amber said...

I love the fabric, putting it together and cutting into it. I like quilting but it is the excitment of the beginning that really gets me (and is why I have so many started projects or just piles that are going to be a quilt sometime)

Wendy said...

Oh I love so many things about quilting. The fabric has to be #1, though...I feel so inspired by fabric and then I love to cut it all up, stick it up on my design wall, move it around, and finally figure it all out which is the most amazing feeling when I "see" the quilt emerge. Thanks for the giveaway - your new line is amazing!

Sarah said...

I love thinking about the possibilities of what I can do with beautiful fabrics. Sometimes, it's almost disappointing to cut into them and make a commitment for a particular project. But as a project comes together, I get excited to see how it's really going to look.

All of your quilts are beautiful. Thanks for showing them. I love quilting and passing them on to people who appreciate them.

I love being able to take a pattern and make it my own by changing fabrics or color placement. It lets me be creative even though I can't draw a straight line even with a ruler!

Rachel said...

I love losing myself in chain piecing. Soothing and calming.

Jeanette said...

I love how exciting a quilt is, both to make and to receive. It's something so personal and so useful; I love how comforting it is.

Carol Sc said...

I think I love the whole process of quilting --- from choosing a pattern, selecting the fabric, cutting, sewing, quilting, binding and, lastly, adding a label. ... and, while I am doing all these things, the ideas that continually seem to occur for making another quilt!

stephanie @ Luckystarquilts said...

I love following lots of different blogs about quilting! When I'm done long arming for the day and too tired to sew my favorite thing to do is to READ all about quilting. It gets me inspired all over again! Thx for your lovely corner of it! I love FG!

I love choosing the perfect fabrics for quilt gifts and the piecing. Not great at the quilting yet. I love your fabrics and just fell in love with the rue Indienne quilt in today's blog!

I love your quilts. Nice job. Thanks for sharing. I love the creativity and the tactile "ness" of playing with the fabric. Plus all the dreamy colors…love it love it love it!

Karen said...

I like piecing the best, but free motion quilting is moving up. Which is a good thing because I have way too many tops that need quilted.

Brenda E. said...

First I love the fabric-if I don't like it my project stalls. I love to create a personal version of any traditional pattern or even some modern ones too!

Unknown said...

What is there not to love about quilting,,, I love all the beautiful colors in fabric , love to touch and finally making it. More beautiful in a quilt.

Unknown said...

What i love about quilting is getting the fabric and deciding what I want to make with it . Looking at all of the choices to choose from.

I love sharing a little bit of me with my family and friends.

Wanda said...

I love all the possibilities of quilting. Color, design, size, size of the pattern pieces because you can make them larger or smaller, size of the finished project, there are so many possibilities.

my place and times said...

Quilting is my therapy- people ask me all the time why I don't make and sell them. I LOVE creating quilts. It's my serenity. It allows me to be in a place away from reality and happy. Just touching and folding fabric has a peace about I'm sure I dont have to explain. Thank you for participating in this blog. I LOVE your fabrics. I can't think of one I haven't. :) You also have the nicest selvages. A friend and I are making selvage quilts.

Nita said...

My favourite part is the hand quilting :)

I love all the beauty of quilting, the colors and fabric. I love thinking of my grandma while I quilt and I love quilting with my aunt.

What I love about quilting is how it transforms my world into a happy place to go. I can get lost in any part of the process and all is right with the world.

Unknown said...

I love the gathering of the fabric, laying it out and just admiring it for some time before ever cutting into it. But then when I start cutting, it is hard to stop until the entire top is pieced.

Unknown said...

I love fabrics and using them to make beautiful quilts. Moda has the best fabrics and designers. I love the color red too.

Christine S said...

I love getting the fabrics! I love it all really, except the dreaded basting!

Clare said...

Quilting is part of my life. making up the patchwork patterns with fabrics I love. Then of course some have applique or stitching.Till recently I hand quilted but have started to dabble in machine quilting as tops building up and I have plenty of space to show the completed quilts off or give as a gift.

Meredith said...

I love everything about quilting, but perhaps the most relaxing and satisfying part is sewing the binding onto the back of the quilt by hand, with the quilt in my lap in all its glory, finished, warm and beautiful.

Kim said...

I love that feeling when a block comes together, nice points and all the lines are just right. Not every block gives this feeling but when it happens I want to run through the house and have everyone admire that work of art.

I love to help fabric fulfill its destiny. From designing a pattern, making one of your patterns my own, to gathering the fabrics needing fulfillment. Fabric has a destiny! Creating it fulfills me. Giving the creation to someone else then fulfills them. A lovely cycle of joy.

I love seeing all the parts come together as the whole quilt

Nancy said...

Gee, there are so many wonderful things about quilting. I think my favorite is shopping for the fabrics....love to feel them and see their wonderful colors. Next is the "me time" I get when sewing. I also love the people I meet along the journey...most quilters are such lovely, warm people and enjoy chatting with them. Your new fabric line is fabulous and I really like the simplicity of Haute Bohemian...it reminds me of the simple quilts the gals of Gee's Bend make. I just got the privilege of seeing some of their quilts on display at one of Maine's museums and it was a wonderful experience.

Unknown said...

I love my family, quilting and gardening.

Betsy Bitner said...

Red is my favorite color, too, but I have to say your new Romani Bleu pattern with all those blues and a punch of red is drop dead gorgeous!

I love all of the new designs & color combinations & picking out what I will use in each new project. It may sit & "mellow" a while before I get it sewn up, but at least I have it. My favorite color is red, also & I can never get enough of it.

Carla N. said...

I love planning out how to make each quilt special for the person that will be cuddling it later. My granddaughter's quilt will have her name, her new puppy, and her best buddies her brothers names quilted in the quilt. We will see if she can find them.

One thing I love about quilting is that even though you pick out everything ahead of time, even the pattern, you never know what it's going to look like when it's all finished. It's special.

I love designing patterns best. I love the fabric, and the piecing, and machine quilting. But at the same time I design so many more quilts than I can possibly make in a lifetime, that I sometimes wish the elves that helped the Shoemaker visited my house as I slept as well!

Kristigreg said...

I like all of it, but I truly love just sitting behind the machine and sewing. Sometimes I just sew with no end product in mind. It's just so relaxing.

Lexie said...

I love that I can create something that is not only beautiful but full of love and warmth.

Quilting means having fun playing with color , I also love seeing an idea for a design come together in the final quilt ready for gifting.

I was never creative as a kid. Once my mom helped me make my first quilt when I was 19, I was hooked. The colors, the patterns, the joy on people's faces when they receive one of my pieces of art. Its great!

I love giving my quilts away. I only own 2 of my quilts -- I've made and given away dozens.

I love planning a new project and seeing it come together as I piece. As the owner of a new longarm quilting machine, I am now also looking forward to quilting my quilt tops.

I love the quiet time and the *In the moment, feeling while quilting. The hand stitching and all the love that I am putting into something to share with someone else. And hope they will love, use every day and enjoy.

I love the creative process, the fabrics, the joy on the face of the recipient (if a gift). Our adult daughter is ill, and lives with us, and quilting gives me such a wonderful emotional release.

I love color selection for a new project and using those colors for the first block. It's always a surprise.

I love the potential of projects. The moment you see something that you like and you gravitate to it - knowing you can do it, or something like it whether by changing colors or some other element. I love FG and am always inspired by the new offerings.

There isn't much I don't love about quilting. You meet the nicest, most creative, sharing people, you work with incredible fabric in colors you only imagined and you create something beautiful out of little scraps of nothingness. What's not to love? Thanks.
