There will be 27 fabrics total in the quilting collection, and this is a peek at just some of them. [...]
I have a soft spot in my heart for Keiki since her Wee Woodland collection for Moda, which had the strangest creature I’ve ever seen on fabric. This new collection, Oops a Daisy, is just out. I like the combination of traditional damask and scrolly leaves with the folky yet modern garden theme. Throw in [...]

We have a few more quilt market posts then we’ll be back on the regular schedule. *sigh of relief* Today, I just wanted to pop in to show you this wonderful somehow-flew-under-my-radar collection [...]

First, drumroll please … the pez are back! Although they are now called “Magic Beans,” Moda is bringing [...]

I got to meet the lovely Ms. Kate Spain for the first time, and let me say she is just the nicest person, and so easy to talk to! She had her first booth at Market to show off Central Park, her fourth collection for Moda, as well as her other surface design work for [...]

Well, this market the Moda catalog finally revealed their identities! They are in-house designers Alison Scully and Holly Hickman, who also [...]
U.K. based Aneela Hoey is a new designer for Moda. She’s a talented quilter and needleworker, and active on her popular blog comfortstitching. She has a degree in printed textile design and started printing designs through Spoonflower last year. I think a lot of you will be freaking out over her debut collection, Sherbet Pips, [...]
