Moda all-Stars All in a Row Blog Hop Day 7

Hello and welcome to Day 7 of

 It’s a Beauty of a Book and Social Media Hop: Moda All-Stars All in a Row 

There will be Prizes too!

All royalties from this book will be donated to 

No Kid Hungry.

 A charitable organization dedicated to ending childhood hunger.

Today's bloggers are Anne Sutton and Laurie Simpson. 

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

Anne Sutton (Bunny Hill Designs) wearing her row SNOWY DAY. You know Anne well from the lesser known of Fats Domino's hit songs “I found my thrill, on BUNNY HILL”…..but baby it's cold outside on her row as five frolicking needle-turn snowmen are sporting a fashionable array of hats and scarves atop a pieced patchwork background.  Fun Fact: Ann was the Winner of this pageants’ Haribou Gummy Bears Good Dental Health award? Why? Because when we asked Ann to tell us her go-to snack food for a full day (or night) of quilting—her answer: Haribou Gummy Bears….and I quote “but it has to be this brand.”

Anne looking pure as the driven snow on the runway.

Check out Anne's row here.

Anne's picture is titled;
Bunnyhill

Laurie Simpson (the quilty half of the Minick & Simpson Duo) wearing her row SAND PAILS. Always and forever representing the USA with a red-white-and-blue color combination….Get ready to groan….Laurie's appliqué skills are Beyond the Pale….(you were warned), get it? Laurie's talent portion of today's event included a poetry slam dedicated to her sister and business partner Polly Minick, whom Laurie describes as both the wind in my sail and the sand in my pail.   

Laurie is looking very patriotic in this little blue number.

Check out Minick and Simpson's row here.

Minick and Simpson's picture is titled;

Moda Pillow Talk Day 12

Welcome to day 12 of Moda's Pillow Talk blog hop.

Today's featured designers are another sister team of Polly Minick and Laurie Simpson of Minick and Simpson. Yes Laurie's name is spelled with and ie at the end not just an i, as it appears on the fabric selvages.
(I thought I would clear that up since my spelling track record is not the best ;--)

Hop on over to their blog and check out their pillow.
I think there is a pretty good chance it will be red, white and blue.

Minick and Simpson are the Queen and Queen of patriotic and red, white and blue.
Their fabric is part of the Quilts of Valor Collection and Under Our Wings program.
What great causes. Read all about it here.

Today's subject will be a flag.
I have titled today's picture…

Flag Day.

Be sure to stop back tomorrow to see the painting of the day and link up with Liesl Gibson from Oliver + S.
