Moda all-Stars All in a Row Blog Hop Day 3

Hello and welcome to Day 3 of
 It’s a Beauty of a Book and Social Media Hop: Moda All-Stars All in a Row 


Today's bloggers are the sister team of  Barbara Groves and Mary Jacobson from Me and My Sister and Barbara Brackman.

Below (in blue type)  is the copy written by Jennifer Keltner to introduce these three lovely contestants.


Barbara Groves  and Mary Jacobson of Me & My Sister wearing their row FETCH. With talents too numerous to mention in a single runway walk—this sister/sister duo went to the dogs with patchwork pups and pinwheels inspired by Barb's dog, Bella-- the terrier. Personalize the pooches to match your favorite pet. Worried that they'll only be known for their successfully simple designs, the sisters prepared a complex math joke for the talent portion of the pageant. Here it is: There is a fine line between a numerator and a denominator, and only a fraction of you people will understand this.  (For those of you keeping score, they  came in a close second to last on the talent portion of the pageant.)



The sisters donned matching pink blouses
 for the pageant runway.
Check out Barb and Mary's row here.



Barb and Mary's picture is titled; Equal Parts
 It takes two equal, but different,parts to make the perfect half square triangle.
If the sisters were a quilt part... they would be a half square triangle.

Barbara Brackman (SENT A STUNT DOUBLE) to wear her row DOUBLE STARS. Dos Equis may have the Most Interesting Man in the World promoting their brand—you know the guy, he doesn't drink beer all the time, but when he does….” Well Barbara may well be “the most interesting Woman in the Quilt World.” She may not quilt all the time, but when she does…she works with Moda Fabrics and creates a classic row that is as timeless and captivating as the designer herself. Six scrappy double star blocks are unified by the choice of a single fabric being used in the centers of all six. Please give it up for Barbara Brackman's stunt double.



Barbara was traveling the world in search of antique quilts
 so she sent a body double.
Check out Barbara's row here.

Barbara's  picture is titled;
 Quilt World.


The Deal of the Day is:


Union Square- a PDF pattern 
Regular price is $8.50 - on sale today for $6.50.

Stop back tomorrow to read all about Pat Sloan and Edyta Star and to see their pictures.
AND find out what the Deal of the Day is.

Have a Beauty-ful day!
From my heart,
Sandy

Moda Pillow Talk Day 17

Welcome to day 17 of Moda's Pillow Talk blog hop.


Comments for my post February 14 closed last night at midnight. I will sort through them and post the winner on Friday.
Today's featured designer is Barbara Brackman.
Barbara is Moda's historical go to person. Check out what she has to offer here.

I was stumped as what to paint for Barbara's day.
What do you paint that depicts knowledge?
I have decided to paint a quilt block because
Barbara knows quilts and quilt blocks.
An appliqué block.
Because I love appliqué.
A red and white one.
Because as you know I love red.
I have named today's painting…


Someday.
Someday I want to make a quilt with this block.
I am sure Barbara could tell you what date this quilt block dates to.
Not me.
For me quilt blocks fall under 2 categories…
I Like and I Want to Make Someday.

Be sure to stop back tomorrow to see the painting of the day and link up with Deb Stain of Saltbox Illustrations.
