Moda Country Fair Blog Hop Day 5

Hello and welcome to day 5 of the Moda Country Fair Blog Hop.




Today's featured designer is Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts.
Hop on over to her blog to see the project she has to offer -
I am quite sure you are all going to want to make her project.

The quote of the day is:
My husband lets me buy all the fabric I can hide.
Author Unknown.

If the author is your husband, it is truly your lucky day as Edyta has a project that is ideal for hiding fabric - or should I say ideal for disguising your intent to buy fabric. Make sure you watch her video, it is the only way to get the full effect of her project.

Speaking of fabric, I would like you to meet some friends of mine.


Ivan and Ruth Johnson.
Ivan has passed since this picture was taken
and we miss him and his quilts dearly.
Ivan was an avid quilter right along side Ruth.
Ruth never had to worry about hiding fabric
as Ivan probably bought more fabric than Ruth.
This is just one room of the stash.
And buy the way at 87 Ruth is still buying fabric,
and she cranks out a quilt about every two weeks.

Stop by tomorrow for the quote of the day and to hook up with the girls at Basic Grey.

I think everyone out there in blog land should go out and buy one fat quarter of fabric today.
There would be no need to hide just one fat quarter and think what it would do for the economy.

From my heart,
Sandy

Moda Pillow Talk Day 21 and One More Day to Go

Welcome to day 21 of Moda's Pillow Talk blog hop. One more day to go.



In case you have not been reading all the way to the bottom of my blog, we added one more person to the bloghop.
Lissa Alexander, Moda's director of marketing will be joining us tomorrow. I hear there will be fun, games and prizes.

Today's featured designer is Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts.
Edyta has more creative energy than anyone I know.
I get winded just listening to her.
Hop on over to her blog to learn a bit about her and see the pillow of the day.

Edyta endorses Aurifil Thread for her machine piecing and hand work.
Go here to see a couple of videos about the thread.

I will make thread the subject of today's painting.
I have titled today's painting…


Thread Count.
I wanted to name it A High Heel.
A high heel????
Yes. As kids, my sisters and I glued spools to our heels and
wrapped seam tape around our feet and ankles for "shoes".
(I am sure Edyta has never done anything so silly.)
Or anyone else for that matter.
But was it silliness or creativity???
Or were we ahead of our time - Re-purposing???

Be sure to stop back tomorrow to see the painting of the day and link up with Lissa Alexander of Moda Lissa. It will be the last day of Pillow Talk.
