Have you met Liz Scott? {and a give-away}
Back in the fall I fell in love with this darling line of fabric. Sugar Pop! by Liz Scott for Moda fabrics. I had to use it. I picked up a Jelly Roll and went to work. Kathleen and I came up with our pattern Flower Pops featuring Sugar Pop! I love it.
It's actually one of my best selling patterns too!
A few weeks ago Liz contacted me, she is so sweet. While chatting with Liz via email I came up with a few questions that I thought would be fun for all of you to know about Liz.
How did you get into designing fabric?
I am a graphic designer by trade, but have always loved fabric and textile design. I was working at a job in a corporate setting and everyday I would sit in my cubicle and dream about fabric, sewing and starting a family. Around that same time, I learned about Spoonflower.com—a website which allows me to upload my designs that are then printed on fabric and sent back to me. I fell in love! I designed pattern after pattern and began to sell my fabrics in my Etsy shop. I received a very positive response and lots of inquiries into wholesale orders. Because the cost of doing large runs of fabric at Spoonflower is high, I began to seek out other ways to get my designs out there to the masses. I began by asking the advice of those who were doing it already—the fabric designers that I admired most. I received such generous, and valuable feedback from many of the top designers out there. The enthusiasm and support was truly humbling. The folks in the fabric business are so wonderful and warm, I knew that I was on the right track. So I contacted the fabric manufacturers where I thought my style would fit best and asked about the artwork submission process. I submitted my artwork to several companies and Moda picked up Sugar Pop! Right around that same time I found out I was pregnant! Now Sugar Pop! is in stores and my seven month old daughter, Rylie, is cutting teeth and learning to crawl.
What inspired your first line Sugar Pop!?
My sweet tooth! I love all things bold and graphic, but I'm also a nature lover, so this line features whimsical nature motifs with a few dots and other geos thrown in for good measure. The color palette is purely based on candy-coated chocolate. I love those bright and clear colors from the candy store or the ice cream parlor and who doesn't love chocolate brown? I think it works so well to mellow the giddy brights in this collection!
Do you have more lines in the works?
Why yes I do and I am so excited! Becoming a new parent has kept me quite busy this last year, but I have found time to design a new collection that will be announced this summer and available in stores in December. I know that is a while to wait, but I can tell you that is vintage modern and is inspired by all the comforts of my home. I know,.. so secretive. I hope to share sneak peeks on my blog in the coming months.
What do you enjoy doing when you are not designing?
Being outside, swinging in the hammock with Rylie, dreaming about what I am going to design next, sewing, knitting, neighborhood walks with my family, hiking, reading to Rylie, travel by train, collecting vintage fabric and linens. troving flea markets and thrift stores for treasure.
Thanks so much Liz! It was so much fun to learn so much about you. I can't wait to see & get my hands on your next line!
Would you like to win some pink Sugar Pops! fat quarters?

Shout Color Catcher
Have you ever tried the Shout Color Catcher?
I have to be honest. I hadn't until just recently. I have been known to turn socks red and ruin all of my clothing, I'm really not the best with laundry (thankfully I have an awesome hubby who does it all :) Anyways, I have been given the opportunity to try out the Shout Color Catcher.
I pulled out one of my quilt that has never been washed. I have to tell you that I was honestly a little skeptical because I have always had great results when I have washed Moda fabrics and this quilt was all made with Moda fabrics.
I pulled out one sheet.
The box says you can use 2-3 for new, dark or non-colofast materials. I chose to just use one since this is a baby quilt.
I put it in the washer with my regular HE (they work in both regular & HE washers) laundry soap and set it on the normal cycle.
The result:
Not a whole lot of color came out but some pink did bleed onto the Shout Color Catcher.
Not a whole lot of color came out but some pink did bleed onto the Shout Color Catcher.
I am impressed. Here I thought my quilts didn't bleed at all!

Modern Basics {Book Review}
I am so honored today to be able to review Amy's new book Modern Basics.
Let me tell you a little story. About a year and a half ago I stumbled across this blog called Park City Girl. I was so excited because I live about 15 minutes away from Park City, UT and was ecstatic about the idea that there was someone so close to me that had such a fun blog. I contacted Amy and realized that she actually lived in a little town near Park City, she lived in Heber, the same town as me!
Amy and I exchanged several emails and finally met in October of 2009. Amy has become one of my really good friends since then.
Shortly after I met Amy she told me a little secret about herself. She was writing a book! Amy needed a little help with the machine quilting of her 14 beautiful quilts and I was the lucky one that got to machine quilt each one of her quilts.
While quilting these quilts I became extremely fond of Amy's unique designs, I loved how simplicity yet detail that each pattern contains.
Above is a sneak peak of my favorite quilt in the book, it was very hard to choose but there is just something about this Knotted Squares that I love!
Right now you can pick up an autographed copy of Amy's book here. You can also find it on Amazon here.
Amy is also giving away a copy of her book Modern Basics. To enter to win a copy of Modern Basics simply become a follower of this blog and then leave one comment! Winner will be announced March 6, 2011.
You can enter to win this book each day for the next 12 days. Check out each of the blogs below to see how to enter.
