Odds and Ends

Hello again! I know what you are thinking, what's with all the blogging lately? I'm not sure what's gotten into me, but is sure is nice to be back here!

Just thought I'd stop by today for a quick post and answer a few questions that have been asked most frequently lately, and tell you about a few things I've been meaning to. Sound good? Here goes.

*One of the most common questions I am asked is what white fabric I use in my quilts? Odds are, if I've made in in the past 5 years, and it looks white, it's most likely Moda Bella in bleached white 97. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the PERFECT creamy white. More on that here.

Many of you have asked for matching Bella solids for our lines, and if you look over on the right sidebar, you can links for each of our fabric lines. Click on each one to see the fabric line and matching Bella solids. The navy solid we used with April Showers is listed there as well.

*Yes, there are solids in Miss Kate! The navy, red, aqua, coral, green, and gray are all printed solids just like we had in Scrumptious. I used them in both of my new bigger quilts and loved them!

*Speaking of Miss Kate, it ships to stores in August, and precuts should be available in the next little while. I'll keep you posted. April Showers is in stores and online now, and for those of you who have been asking for a kit, Craftsy is offering a kit for my Raincheck quilt over in their fabric shop right now. Thanks Craftsy!

*Rememeber the Bernina contest I mentioned a few posts back? I'm not one to bug you to vote everyday, but it is still going on, and you can vote once a day, if you'd like. Each time you vote you are entered to win a Bernina 350SE, so you should vote! I would love one of you to win it! In case you missed it, this is the one I designed, so I hope you like it. ;-)

*One of my favorite quilting magazines, Love Patchwork and Quilting sent over a pretty great promotion for me to share with you, which of course I'm happy to pass on. If you live in the US you can try 3 issues for just $10 when you subscribe. Totally worth it! Here's the link if you are interested, and just a heads up, I have a little something (and a big something) in an issue coming soon!

*Last but not least, the most common question these days is how I hang my mini quilts. There are several different ways to hang them, but I use regular old clear push pins. You can find them at Target, and probably anwhere that sells office supplies. Simple as that.

I think that's all I had on my list, was there anything I missed?

Thanks for stopping by!
