Block of the Month
The Fat Quarter Shop hosts a mystery block of the month club each year starting in June. The past two years it has been done out the of 3 Sisters Christmas lines. Peace on Earth and Glace', as I've said before, I love all things Moda especially if its 3 Sisters. So of course I signed up and have been collecting the blocks each month. I say collecting because this is currently the state they are in.
Peace on Earth Blocks
Glace' Blocks
Currently my blocks of the month are stored in a bag in the state they arrived. And each month when the next one arrives Mike asks me once again to cancel this subscription. (I can't cancel in the middle)....
Come June, the new block of the month will be starting. I had decided against it. I haven't signed up. But I scored one of these charm packs. It was a sneak peek at this new Christmas line.
12 days of Christmas by Kate Spain. Kate's designs are quickly becoming one of my new favorites. Ranks right up there with 3 Sisters. This is so fun and whimsical. How could a girl not fall in love?
Guess what the new block of the month is going to be out of? Click here to find out. I'm loosing my willpower. I feel I may just have to give in.

Unconditional Love
“Whatever they grow up to be, they are still our children, and the one most important of all the things we can give to them is unconditional love. Not a love that depends on anything at all except that they are our children.”

Glace'
If you sew or love fabrics, you have probably heard of the company Moda. I am in love with Moda fabrics. Specifically with anything that is designed by 3 Sisters. I usually buy yards and bundles of each of their lines. Their Christmas line this last year was called Glace'. I fell in love all over again. What I love most about this line is that it doesn't scream Christmas.
The week after Christmas it went on sale for 50% off. So of course I went and loaded up on yardage and layer cakes. The next day it went on sale for 70% off. I went back for more. (Could this be why my husband thinks I have an addiction?) Needless to say, I have a lot of quilts to create using this line.
Here are two that I'm currently working on. Both are patterns from Crazy Old Ladies.
This pattern is called Stack of Three. It takes a layer cake and a little yardage for the border. I cut and had these blogs sewn in about an hour. This is a really fast cute pattern!
Here is an idea of what it will look like once its sewn together.
The picture above is strips from a jelly roll sewn together. I will be cutting this one up to make the pattern Postage Due.
Both of these patterns use Moda precuts and go together quickly.
I'll post my pictures as I progress with them. I took the weekend off from these do work on a copy of quilts out of the Verna line by Kate Spain for Moda. Can't wait to show you those!
