Moda bakes you something…

if you are tired of piecing only simple strips or squares together and seeking for a project which is a little more intermediate and gives you a stunning quilt – then Modabakeshop has for sure the right thing for you. Today you’ll find a new quilt tutorial featuring the Juggling Summer fabric line.

This is a cool block pattern isn’t it?

It’s designed from Jo’s Country Junction for Regan, the best friend of Jo’s daughter Kalissa. Hey, I can imagine how much pride Regan will feel to get this quilt.

My sewing friend Di made this gorgeous bag from a stunning combination

who also made these cute purses for my Spring Quilt Market

you can also go very graphical like I did with this pillow

and while this features a firy red, Vanesa’s bag below shows that the fabrics allow also a cool combination.

or more in fashion style like Valerie from sewmuchmoretoday.com  did with this skirt

My friend Claudia made this delicious quilt from a Jelly Roll

The Crazy Old Ladies were crazy enough to play with all the colors

while I found this Funagle Pattern at the Grizzly Gulch Gallery.

Those colors can really add some fun to a grey winter day, can’t they.

If you have also a project to share, please post a link in the comments and/or add it to the ZEN CHIC flickr group. I appreciate your inspirations!

Pink Chalk Studio comes always up with some great ideas of how to use their fabrics. So I'm really happy they carry my line Juggling Summer and look what they have made from the Interwining Circles Print! Aren't these purses just lovely? They used a recipe from www.modabakeshop.com and the little wallets make a wonderful, easy and quick Christmas gift. Best make a dozen of those, because everyone can need them for some pocket money, tissues, lipstick, coupons - you name it. Thank you Katie, for the idea!
