Thank you so much to everyone for entering the giveaway and for your nice words about the quilt and Violet's fabric.
The randomly-selected winner of the Madrona Road/Cotton Couture charm pack is Berley, whose favorite print is Haystack in Slate. (Berley, I've sent you an e-mail asking for your mailing info.)
I've been trying for months to figure out just what I wanted to do with Melody Miller's awesome-giant-bee-featuring Ruby Star Spring, and I finally decided that a new Mod Mosaic quilt was the way to go.
My local sewing circle did a handmade gift exchange this past weekend and, now that it's no longer a secret, I would love to tell you about what I made.
. . . is that you can stage a photo shoot in the street without getting in anyone's way! Okay, that's obviously an exaggeration. I'm lucky to have a nice home in a safe neighborhood. I'm just reaaalllllly looking forward to moving away from here.
The Mod Sampler Quilt-Along was the first quilt-along I ever did on my blog. To date, there are more than 450 members and 1,000 photos in the Mod Sampler Flickr Pool. I've been overwhelmed by the response to this pattern, and it's been so much fun to see so many different versions of this quilt popping up around blogland!
Melody Miller's new Ruby Star Rising collection for Kokka was my favorite from Fall Market, and I felt honored and ridiculously excited when Melody herself sent me some of it to play with.
