Moda Reminder

Mark your calendars, and join us for the February Moda Club. 

 Meeting times 1p.m. and 5:30p.m.

 

 

Blocks are being turned in!

 

 

 

We will be collecting the "Spool" blocks for our Moda Club Quilt this month.  If you are unable to make the meeting, please drop your block off at the shop by the end of February, to be included. 

It's wonderful to see so many of you participating in this project.  Someone is going to be a very lucky winner at the end of the year.  Instructions for completing you block here.

 

 

 

 

Our Granny Along continues through March.  My quilt top is done!

January 2013 Moda Club

Don't forget your show and tell.  See you this Wednesday, for more Moda fun!

January 2013 Moda Club

This year we are going to feature a fat quarter project each month.  This month's project takes 3 fat quarters. 

 

 

Reversable Child's Apron from Moda Bakeshop

 

 

 

For those of you that like rulers, we now have a fat quarter ruler.  It has less markings and is a little easier on the eye for cutting up your stash or fat quarters for projects.  Check out the video here.

 

 

Our Granny Along is continuing.  I'm hoping to get my blocks all put together before the end of this month.  We will have a participation drawing for this project in March.  It's not too late to play along.

 

For 2013, we have invited you to make a spool block.  The fabric for the "spool" and background were given out at the December and January Moda Club.  We will collect them all next month. 

 

Tumbling Blocks  

 

Judy Engle, has lent us her fat quarter quilt for a little inspiration. 

This pattern is available in the shop.  Fabric is Mod Century.

 

 

Mondo Bag

 

 

Rose has inspired us to make this Quilt Smart bag.  Anyone interested in working on this project can sign up for 2/2/13.  We will meet starting at 9a.m.  This is going to be held more like a retreat than a class.  Group size is limited to 15, so be sure to sign up soon. There is no fee, but your pattern should be purchased at the shop.  I will be contacting those who sign up about supplies etc.

October Moda

Our next meeting date has been changed to the 4th Wednesday, November 28, due to Thanksgiving,  and the busy preparations the day before.

 

 

 

 

The Granny Along Challenge continues.....I made 4 new blocks...

 

 

Our AnnaMary completed her top!

She used 1.5" sashing and 4" borders

 

 

AnnaMary's quilt has inspired a few more people to join in on the fun.  For every granny square you use in your project, you may put your name in a drawing at our March meeting. 

 So, join in and use up those scraps! 

 

 

AnnaMary and I had alot of fun dressing up these canvas totes with some Fall appeal.

Pincushion from Moda Bakesop

This month's pincushion is another option from the one we showed in September. 
This version is made using 2.5" strips of fabric. 

Completed Christmas Tree Pants are beginning to show up.  This challenge wraps up in November.

 



Great job Brenda and Shirley! 



Jane shared her version of the Moda Bakeshop's Giant Pincushion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tankini - Pattern by Terry Atkinson    (Terry Ann blogs about her pattern.)  Linda and I made the various sizes for you to see in person.  It's called Tankini, because the smallest version fits the top of the toilet tank!   Gotta love it!  This is a very fun table topper to make.  The two smaller sizes can be made with 3 fat quaters.  She even has instructions for quilting the topper.

 

 

 

 

The final step of the sew along for Christmas Tree Pants.   In November, we'll get a group photo of those who participated and have a door prize drawing.    This still gives you plenty of time to join in the fun.  The Happy Zombie is a favorite blogger of mine, and Sew Mama Sew is a wonderful source of all kinds of things to sew and make.  This was a wonderful joint venture for them both.

 

 

 

 

  

Our latest challenge is the Granny Along!  This block is meant to look like a crocheted Granny Square.   I hope you will join along in the fun as we use up our scraps.  This would be a good opportunity for you to make a Charity Quilt or a quilt for someone special to you.  This challenge will run through March of 2013.  Granny Square Quilt Block Tutorial.
