December Moda Blog Hop – Snow Day

The 4th day of the Moda Designers Blog Hop has arrived and I am thrilled to get the chance to say Thank You for allowing me to be a part of your quilting experiences!

Winter has arrived here in MI and we have been blessed with our first “Snow Day”.

I call it an unexpected gift from Mother Nature that covers the earth with a soft blanket of snow and invites us for a day of fun.

Our “Sled Dog” in his favorite sweater…

OK, he’s clearly a slightly spoiled “Sled Dog”.

SO much fun to have making “Snow Angels”… or having a snowball fight!

Now time to play inside, holidays are coming and I am finishing last minute projects using my new collection “Snow Day” – what a coincidence! This wonderful group of batiks in winter night blues, hot milk lights, chestnut browns, and fun images of a special day just arrived on my doorstep. (Available in shops next summer)

For me, this is a great inspiration to create beautiful quilts during a play-day in my sewing room; small projects like the table runners above and also bigger ones like the “Snowflake” quilt below. Patterns for each will be available soon.

Holidays are all about giving, let’s start with a recipe card for this cute block that I call “Funnel Cake“.

I used the block on the front of the Small-Big Tote which was featured in my Country Fair Post.

I also love what Lissa (right side) and Debbie (hiding behind quilt) did with all of the recipe card blocks, creating this beautiful sampler quilt. The fabrics in the borders and binding are from my “Indian Summer” collection which is available in stores right now.

Please share your Christmas Wish in the comments below and three of you (random drawing) on December 15th will win fabrics for the borders and binding of this Moda Sampler from Laundry Basket Quilts and Moda.

Thank you for stopping and be sure to visit all of the wonderful Moda blogs on this hop.
