I'm sure if you visit your LQS (local quilt store) often then you've these fabrics from MODA. Aren't they beautiful?! I think they're called Three Sisters? I can't remember exactly... I've had them over a year now and still haven't cut into them yet...My "not so local" LQS (but nearest to me) store has a buyer card that they punch off for each time you spend $5 worth.. or maybe it's $10? I don't remember but I keep it with me in my wallet at all times b/c after the card is full the neon Pink card is worth $25 at their store! :) Who doesn't love FREE money?
Last year I spent my card on my first ever "jelly roll" and have had it sitting around ever since.
I loved the quilt hangin in the store but they didn't have any patterns left for it - so thankfully I remembered to write down the name and came home and found it on eBay for sale and purchased it under the buy it now. I think I paid under $8.00 for the pattern "State of Grace."
Then last year I was given a $25 gift certificate from one of my FQ Bingo players (a mighty generous hostess gift I might add!!!) and I had one year before it expired... I almost forgot about using it - but then I remembered it and at first had NO clue as to what fabric I would select to purchase from equilter.com
...but then it dawned on me!! More coordinating fabric to go with my jelly roll and pattern! Yes! :) The dark brown fabric could be used as a border, the stripe as the binding and the large floral on blue background as the backing... now all I have to find is that white fabric the pattern calls for as the focal print.... hummm no idea where to find that b/c my LQS is sold out and not reordering it. Wish I knew the name or number for it.
What do you have sitting around that you can't cut into just yet??? I don't have time to start this pattern just yet as I have many other irons in the fire... but one day... yes one day! ;)
Love from Texas!

Hi--Your fabrics are from
ReplyDeleteShangri-La by Three Sisters from Moda. I did a quilt from 2 charm packs and a jelly roll. 3 sisters have several collections that repeat the samecolors and if you can't find the light from shangri-La on line, one from Roman Holiday or another might work.

Love your fabrics...have fun
ReplyDeleteOooooo....love that line...Enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteThere's not room here to list all the things I have that I've not cut into or started yet. Stacks and boxes and tubs of stuff. Someday...
ReplyDeleteThe LQS nearest me does the reward program too and I love racking up the points so I can spend them. I do order online when I need too and my favorite place to look is quiltshops.com.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, I just love your blog! It is great, full of quilting info and personal touches. Thanks for sharing! Stephanie
ReplyDeleteI have one jelly roll that I got about a year ago and I love the fabric but haven't used it yet. I was thinking this winter I would get around to using it, now that the kids will be in school.
ReplyDeleteHey, there~ it's going to be just great whenever you cut into it. I have a pile of Moda charm squares and a jelly roll from their Strawberry Lemonade line a few years back. I can't bear to think of cutting it up, but; if I ever have a granddaughter I will make her a quilt from these fabrics!
