no such thing as a stupid question around here  the moda marbles have matching fabrics for the marbles, complimentry you may say, they are still called Moda's though. did i confuse the issue more

Well, when Carman said that she was capping the list, I ordered my fabric, and it only took 2 days to get here! These swaps are so much fun! All of my butterflies are ready to be put into my attic windows quilt. I'll post a picture when it's done so everyone can see their fabric! Jessica photos.yahoo.com/greendragondesigns

I'm glad you received it already and I'm glad you both enjoyed it! I have a daughter that claimed my fabric too (she's 10). So now I've bought her a stash of her own (or at least the beginnings of one) and she has use of a machine all to herself. Kids can be very creative! Jessica photos.yahoo.com/greendragondesigns

Good Morning...Or Good Afternoon to all you east coast quilters I wanted to let you know that I'm mailing my fat quarters this afternoon!!This also gives the neighbor and I a chance to have an expresso!! (the post office is 22 miles down the road) It's a good excuse for an outing. I wanted to let you know that my fabric is from a fairly new quilt shop in Woodinville Washington called the "Gathering Place". It is one of the 10 shops written up in Better Homes and gardens "QUILT SAMPLER". It is put out by American Patchwork and Quilting once or twice a year!. Anyway,....enjoy my choice to you and check out the articles on the other nine shops. moo hugs and kisses

NOT to worry everyone, I am waiting for payday to order my fabrics. I am so sorry for the delay. I hope to be able to mail by the end of September. I think I best skip October, it's been kind of rough, not having worked for 2 months this summer, things have gotten behind more than I thought. I will let you know for sure when I am mailing. Thanks again for understanding.

I bought my fabric on the run. all I could think of was Moda. So I ran into a quilt store said Moda to Susie and got my fabric. I love it but just wanted to warn you that it isn't marble. I will get it sent out by next Thurs. Some days are better than others. Thank you Krystal for your fabric. I love it. Cheryl |

Hey, Debby, how come you got Carman's today and I didn't? Guess 45 minutes closer to Canada makes for quicker delivery! Received Cheryl's today, thank you! |

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, every one for the beautiful selection of Moda's. I am going to use them in a quilt for my brand new grandson born Oct 5. He was 9 lbs, 21 1/2 " long. He took 12 years to get here!! And this grandma can't wait to sew for that baby!!!!!!!!!!!
