Sister's Choice Quilts

My interests are quilting, reading, cooking, family, decorating, and matters of style. I post regular quilting tutorials and book reviews of current fiction.

Gasp.  Look at the label on the package that was delivered to my door.

I got a package from MODA?  Me?

It was a sweet something from Moda Lissa (Lissa Alexander) who has our dream job, Director of Marketing for United Notions (Moda).  Lissa is a fabulous quilter, and if you don't have her blog bookmarked…well you should.  Not only are her own projects awesome, but she has all sorts of insights into the world of quilting.  Plus,   She Knows People.  Check out her blog for links to all the Moda Designers websites and blogs, plus links to fun bloggers that will provide you with hours of entertainment and inspiration.

Oh, you'd like to see what was in the box?

A super sweet note, a little box of those "Candy Bar" precuts, and three Layer Cake Rolls!  The Layer Cake Rolls (that's what I call them anyway) are of three fabric collections that are going to be released at Quilt Market this weekend! 

"Faith", the new Howard Marcus offering for Collection for A Cause, "Antique Fair", the new collection by Blackbird Designs, AND "Oasis", the upcoming fabric line from 3 Sisters!!!

I am beyond excited and honored to have received this gift.  Wait until you see the fabulous colors in each of these new fabric groups.  I can tell you that pink is going to be a strong color this coming Spring.

  5. Did you do happy cartwheels? What a tantalizing peek at some amazing, delightful, and sincerely yummy fabrics.
    This is the one time of year I wish I lived in TX again. I so loved going to the Houston Quilt show every year for those 10 long, hot years we were there. I miss that show and lots of friends there.
    Happy imagining!
    Hugs!
