Last Thursday I went to lunch and when I came back these boxes were sitting by my desk. Straight from the mill in Korea. - no time to ship to Moda and then on to me.
This is what was inside the boxes. The name of this line is Frolic.
For you shop owners that follow my blog, you will be able to see this at the Moda booth at International Quilt Market - If you are interested book your appointment now. If you are one of those blog followers that does not own a shop, you will have to wait until January to see this fabric in your favorite quilt shop(s). If you like it tell your quilt shop owner and maybe she will buy it. ;-)
About a week before the fabric arrived, I received scanned images of the fabric so I could computer generate my quilts. I consumed both of these boxes of fudge while generating. (Yes I really did spend $15.00 on fudge.) I generated 6 quilts using this fabric. Now we have to sew all six quilts, have them quilted and bound by the time we leave for market on October 6th. Yikes! That gives use only 13 days to get all this done! How do I do it?
I call in the troops.
Lois - Look at those stacks of connector squares (432 of them)
that she has to plow through before she can even begin to assemble the blocks.

Why can't somebody come up with bigger bobbins?
Lori working on her assignment. Notice, by now it is dark outside. How do I get my seamstresses to work a couple of nights during crunch season???
Feed them pizza.
Everybody went home last night about 10:00 and they are all back sewing today. I am very grateful for my dedicated seamstresses.

Not only do we have to finish all of the quilts, I also have to create my booth, (which usually involves building or painting something) write a newsletter, design and print brochures, make salesman sample packs, pack the trailer, pack a suitcase, pretty up a bit (get my toes and nails done, haircut and color) - all this in just 13 days. Pray for me. :)
From my heart,
