A Closer Look

As promised ,
here is a closer look
at my Xcellence quilt
that was featured in Quilter's Home Magazine.


I used Camille's Bliss fabric line for Moda
to make my quilt.
Of course, the beautiful RED prints
caught my eye.




In fact, I added a few solids into the quilt
just to give it a
"Little Lady" personal touch.


Now my Xcellence quilt

lives on my bed.

Pssst....I ever redecorated my bedroom around

this quilt.


Here is one last photo of the quilt:


Yep that is my "not-so" Little Person

running in the background.

(More on that later)


Until Next Time ... Happy Quilting!

Coming To A Home Near You


Little Lady Patchwork is coming

to a "HOME"

near you!

That is a Quilter's Home near you:




My Xcellence quilt is being featured

in the current issue

of Quilter's Home Magazine.







Once all of the tornado/thunderstorm warnings in my area expire,

I promise to take more photos

of my quilt!

I wouldn't want the tornado winds to

find my quilt a new "HOME".


Until Next Time ... Happy Quilting!

What I Learned

First, I want to thank everyone that participated
my Liz Scott giveaway!

I enjoyed reading all of your comments

and I learned a few things along the way.


It seems that the color BLUE

is the overall fan favorite color!


Here are some Moda Bella Solids in the blue range:







Like Liz,

many of you are CRAZY in LOVE with the color

turquoise! I am sure that this will make her happy!



Sugar Pop by Liz Scott for Moda


I was surprised to learn

that  purple was in a close

second place for favorite color!

I really don't have very many purple

fabrics in my stash,

so I will have to stock up on these:






The color green was in third place

as a fan favorite.

Now this is one color

that I have plenty of in my stash!






But for me.....

I will always be a

RED kinda girl!





Thanks again for taking the time to share your

favorite color with us!


Until Next Time... Happy Quilting!

Sugar Pop Fat Quarter G-I-V-E-A-W-A-Y!



If you love Sugar Pop by Liz Scott for Moda,

then you have come to the right place!

Sugar Pop is Liz's debut fabric line for Moda

and this is why I love Sugar Pop:


The colors and designs

are so fresh and modern!



I first fell in love with

Liz Scott when I started reading her blog


I started reading her blog

before her daughter, Rylie, was born.

I was drawn to her love of vintage books

and the way that she used her Sugar Pop

fabric line to decorate her daughter's nursery.

Here are more of her Sugar Pop creations:

Now her daughter, Rylie is almost 8 months old

and Liz's Sugar Pop fabric line

is available in quilt stores.


Today, Liz has stopped by my blog

to tell you a little bit more

about herself and her Sugar Pop fabric line.

So let me introduce you to Liz Scott:


 

Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you landed in the fabulous world of designing fabric.

Well, let's see. I am originally from Michigan but now I live in Los Angeles with my wonderful husband, Ryan, my daughter, Rylie, and my cat, Zipper. I am a graphic designer by trade, but a few years back I decided that my heart was really in the crafts and sewing world and I pursued fabric design: it was the perfect intersection of my skills and interests. Moda picked up my first line and like you said, it really is a fabulous world!

What is your favorite print in the Sugar Pop fabric line and why?

There are qualities about all of them that I love. For instance, I think Mod Buds is so simple and versatile. Mod Flowers is fun and boisterous and perhaps inline with my own personal aesthetic. But i think my favorite is Summer Flowers because it is fresh, feminine and feels so springy to me and spring is my favorite time of the year. I am loving all of the flowers and the longer days lately!






What is your favorite part of the day?

Early morning for sure! I get up before anyone else and the house is quiet, except for Zipper's jingly collar. There is not a sound. I make myself coffee, get dressed and read all of my favorite blogs and just get so inspired. I seem to find new blogs that interest me daily and I marvel at all of the cool and creaive peopls out there I feel so grateful to be living in this era of connection and shared information. It truly is amazing Pardon my digression... :0)

What is your favorite color?

Aqau. It always has been some form of blue, but aqua will always be #1! When I buy things, like aqua cast iron pans and dishware, my hubby is worried that I will grow tired of the color and then we will be stuck with blue dishes, but he's wrong Aqua and I are monogamous. That's not to say that I don't love ther color combos, like yellow, chartreuse, grass green, or lavender, and red It's just when it comes down to one, aqau will always win

What is next on the horison for you?

My husband and I are reorganizing our whole apartment. We've switched the studio and the bedroom. We've rearranged the furniture in the living room.We are clearing the clutter with a vengence and we are gearing up for a grage sale this weekend. And even though it is a work in progress, and everything has to get messy before it is neat again, I already feel like we live in a new place. It is amazing how energizing the exercise has been, not to mention, a tremendous happiness boost!

But enought of the boring stuff (yawn) I am also working on a new fabric line!!! It will be announced this summer and available in stores next winter. I am so excited about it and I can't wait to post some peeks on my blog! And speaking of the blog, I also hope to start blogging more. It is one of my favorite things to do and it seems to be an all too often neglected task on my list.


I want to thank Liz (and her daughter, Rylie) for stopping by my blog! Rylie has been so generous and has choosen 8 fat quarters from her mom's Sugar Pop line to giveaway to one lucky winner.

Rules of the game: Leave a comment about your favorite color and you will be entered into the giveaway. You must leave your email address so that I can contact you if you are the winner.

The giveaway ends at midnight on Monday, April 4th!

Good Luck!

Until Next Time ... Happy Quilting!
