Will you all please email me your addresses so I can send your prizes.
Many of you emailed me about listing all of my fabric lines.
I will list them in tomorrow's post along with other bits and piece of Sandy Gervais/Moda history.
Today's featured designer is Sandy Kolp of American Jane.
Sandy is known for her crayon box colors and her interesting quilts.
Her quilts are WAY above my quilting abilities.
For a recent Quilt Market School House, Moda Lissa
sent all the designers a huge box of half square triangles made

For a recent Quilt Market School House, Moda Lissa
sent all the designers a huge box of half square triangles made
from every designer's fabrics.
We were all to make a quilt using all or some of these triangles.

This is my quilt.
Notice all of the "fill"? (The solid brown and cream.)
I chose to use SOME of the triangles.
This is Sandy' Kolp's quilt.
When she unfolded this I just wanted to "bitch slap" her.
(And I mean that in the most kind and flattering way.)
She used all the triangles and made some more!
A bit of an overachiever – wouldn't you say?
Have you seen the quilt she has posted on the blog today?
I just have to say DOUBLE bitch slap! :-)
Like I said WAY beyond my quilting skills.

Sandy has not yet joined the blog world so you can find her on Moda's blog.
Hop on over to see the pillow of the day. I am sure it will be interesting.
The subject of today's painting is a little pig.
I have titled today's picture…

Overachiever.This little pig was able to balance on the top of one pincushion.
Then she pushed herself…
and became an overachiever.
Be sure to stop back tomorrow to see the painting of the day and link up with Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings.

Congrats to the winners and thanks for all the fun!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I won. Thanks for all of the fun. I can hardly wait until tomorrow to learn all of the lines and more about you.
ReplyDeleteI am laughing my butt off right now! I just read in 2 different blocks that "Sandy Gervais is the sweetest, nicest person..." and then you are on here bitch slapping over achievers. You are way too funny!
ReplyDeleteOops - blogs...I meant blogs, not blocks.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners! I didn't realize that you Moda gals were so feisty with one another... Hmmmm...kind of gives me a whole different perspective on this fabric designing thing!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winners ... Yay for them!! Sandy, your reaction to the overachiever makes me love you even more!! Your my kinda gal!! Thank you so much for all the fun and I really can't wait to see your complete list of fabrics!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Can't tell you how excited I was this morning as I was reading your new post, scrolling down and sawy my Mandy's picture pop up on the screen! :-) Congratulations to all the winners and THANK YOU so much, Sandy! What a great way to start off the weekend! :-)
ReplyDeleteGwen
Looking forward to seeing the story on all your lines! I didn't start quilting until the very end of the 90's so have not seen your earlier lines.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners.
Love the piggie. I would be with you--I'm not an overachiever but I have made a quilt of your design with a LOT of HSTs!
If I could look as cute as your little piggy, I'd love to become an overachiever!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see each of the fabric lines you have designed and know the names of them. I've worked with a few over the past few years, and have loved every one of them.
Congrats to the lucky winners!

I'm excited to have won! Thanks so much! It's been fun reading everyones comments.
ReplyDeleteToo funny on the overachiever painting. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all the winners - lucky you!
ReplyDeleteLove your overachiever pic, Sandy! Your post today gave me a real laugh, but I think there are a whole bunch of overachievers at Moda!
You should be very proud of your half square quilt. I think it is amazing and I actually like yours better. You should make a pattern for it ( if you haven't ).
ReplyDeleteyay! i can't believe i won! thank you so so much! congrats to everyone else, too! :D
ReplyDeletethis post is hilarious!
I think Little Miss Pink Piggie is most definitely an "Overachiever"...could it be that the painter is too? LOL
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all of the winners!
ReplyDeleteI started laughing out loud when I read this post. Still laughing at the overachievers! LOL!!!
Yes, I did miss part of my lunch while googling for your fabric lines. :-)
I'm looking forward to you sharing with us all of your fabric lines. I'm in awe that there were 89! And here I thought I was doing well when I found about 46 lines (give or take a few).

Congrats to all the winners....and thank you for drawing my name! I'm thrilled and my address is in an email back to you! Thanks!!!
