Moda Love Blog Tour + free pattern
Hey there! Today is my turn on the Moda Love Blog Tour and I’m thrilled to have you here. If you’re visiting for the first time, I’m Vanessa Goertzen of Lella Boutique and am a new designer for Moda. My first collection Into the Woods shipped to shops last month and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of the Moda family!
Speaking of family, I’m quite fond of mine! I’m mother to two spunky children named Olive and Lorenzo. These sweeties keep me running in circles all day, but I would not have it any other way.
Since the Moda Love Blog Tour is all about LOVE, I’m answering a few questions about my LOVE of quilting:
When did you start quilting and what was your first project? My mom taught me to sew at a young age, but it wasn’t until I was 15 that I really took an interest in quilting. One afternoon, I discovered her working on a pixelated sunflower quilt. It was so cheery and wonderful that I just had to make one. Of course, I wanted to add my own special touch, so I designed some smaller pixelated flower blocks to incorporate into a border. I was having a great time making it all up as I went along, adding sashing (of various widths) and corner blocks as I pleased… Of course, nothing really lined up quite as I had envisioned but I think the saving grace was a sweet poem I embroidered into the border about sunflowers and their quest for light. Despite its many imperfections, the quilt has always been a meaningful reminder to seek the good things in life.
What is the best part of your design process? I love the challenge of coming up with something new by letting the fabric do the talking. Each collection speaks to me in a different way and I love exploring new possibilities that each one brings. Playing with fabric every day is the best job in the whole world.
What fuels you to create? Because I do much of my work after everyone has gone to bed, sweets literally fuel my creativity in the wee hours of morning. Some of my favorites are Twizzlers, Swedish Fish, and Riesens.
(something gummy-ish + something chocolate = the proper balance)
At Quilt Market, we Moda designers were given the opportunity to share some of our favorite tips and tricks in the Moda Lab. Watch below as I share my favorite technique to transform a Layer Cake® into half-square triangles:THE MODA LAB
This method of making half-square triangles comes in especially handy when piecing my new Figgy Pudding fat quarter quilt pattern.
THE MODA LOVE LAYER CAKE PATTERN
The Moda designers were also given this Moda Love quilt pattern and tasked with making it using our latest lines. Here’s mine, and the beautiful bread basket pantograph quilting was done by Abby Latimer of Latimer Lane Quilting.
I wanted a little bit of a scrappy look to mine so I departed from the pattern slightly… I took 12 Into the Woods Layer Cake® squares, sub-cut them into 5″ squares first, sewed them into four-patches, and THEN plugged them into the pattern.
TheModa Love quilt pattern instructions include 3 versions so you can use a layer cake, charm pack, or a mini charm pack. I made all three sizes and I think the mini charm version is my favorite! Isn’t she sweet?
And here is the Moda Love charm pack version (I played around with the inverse design):
It’s fun to see all the other Moda designers’ fabrics plugged into this pattern! Now what, you’ve all been waiting for…

September 4, 2014 at 4:44 amAs a child I loved being read to, one of my favourites was Chicken Licken and I wouldn't let my parents miss a page. They tell me they used to hide that book but I'd scream the house down!
Susan
September 4, 2014 at 4:46 amI LOVE your little mini quilt! I've enjoyed seeing all of the quilts so far, but that mini is my favorite! About a bedtime story…..well, we homeschool our children and so books are all over, in every room of our house! We love to read and have many favorites. We usually read 3 books and a Bible story at bedtime and I always read "happy ending" stories to end the day so we have no bad dreams. One of my favorites is Warm as Wool by Scott Russell Sanders. Another is Ox-Cart Man by Donald Hall. We love old-fashioned stories that depict a simpler life and both of these fit! Thanks for the chance to win some of your LOVELY new line!

September 4, 2014 at 7:38 amVanessa — your new fabric line is darling – thank you for the generous giveaway! When our grandchildren stay overnight we always tell them a bedtime story that reflects the fun we had during the day — if it was swimming or hiking or sewing or playing outside.. we talk about how much fun it is to stay at gramma and grampas and how children always sleep well after a day of fun play .The story time children always give thanks for their brothers and sisters and family and head off to bed… It's alot of fun to watch their faces as we make the story up that reflects their days… Sweet times.

Mary
September 4, 2014 at 8:32 amI love the PJ Funnybunny books, especially the one where PJ decides being a bunny is no fun, and runs away from home; it's called It's Not Easy Being A Bunny. He lives with a series of other animals to see if he likes that better. When he gets to the part where he lives with the moose, my grandchildren and I make loud moose calls. There is a great deal of hilarity reading the story, love it.
Unknown
September 4, 2014 at 8:34 amMy favorite bedtime story which has surprisingly become my daughters favorite is The Little Prince.

It's the only childhood book I made sure to keep with me when I moved across the country after getting married. It's making me miss my Mom right now! I'm so glad I saw this post, it gave me an excuse to read it again and took me back to being a carefree kid 🙂

Linda
September 4, 2014 at 10:42 amI LOVE your fabrics! Bedtime stories was not something I was privileged to as a child, so I don't have a personal favorite, but when I had children of my own I made sure we did bedtime stories every night. Their favorite was The Three Little Pigs. They LOVED it when I would use high pitched squeaky voices for the pigs and a low rough voice for the wolf and blow in their faces when it came to the "blow your house down" phrase.
The Nebby Needle
September 4, 2014 at 10:45 amMy father used to make up bedtime stories about a character named "Sleepy" who use to fall asleep in the most peculiar places (perhaps he had sleep apnea?)! They were always a favorite! ~*
Sorcha girl
September 4, 2014 at 10:47 am"Goodnight, Moon" was a favorite story to read to my grandchildren. It was fun to hear them "read" the words because the story had been memorized–it was read often. Love the colors in the fabric "Into the Woods" and I like your interpretation with the addition of the 4 patch. It was good to 'meet' you and I look forward to finding your fabric in the local quilt shops. Thanks for a chance to win some of the fabric.

I'm usually not a fan of the color brown, but every time I see your "Into the Woods" line, I'm so drawn to it and how well your colors go together. Every project I've seen made from it is lovely. You did a great job making the Moda pattern your own with the four-patches.

Sylvia Anderson
September 4, 2014 at 12:59 pmLooking back, a very long time ago in my case, one of my favorite bedtime stories was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. My dad would read to me, taking on the voices of the different characters, and I thought he was the greatest dad on earth. Sadly, he passed away 18 months ago, at the age of 104.

September 4, 2014 at 2:31 pmI don't have a favorite bedtime story, but I loved falling a sleep to my Dad singing to me. And loved listening to my husband make up stories to tell my daughter at bedtime. Most of the time HE fell asleep and she'd nudge him to wake up and finish the story. I'd chuckle as I passed her bedroom. Your three quilts are so cute.

September 4, 2014 at 8:12 pmI had a really old fairy tale book when I was a kid that had been my grandmothers, it had a story about a woman who wanted radishes when she was pregnant but the only radishes were behind a wall, her husband climbed it and got her radishes but got caught, in return for the radishes and his life they had to give the baby to the garden grower once born. I don't remember the name of the story but I remember just loving the illistrations that were in that book.

Through The Fire Quilts
September 5, 2014 at 6:14 amMy favorite bedtime story is when we actually make up our own. On the weekends, we like to sit down, right before bedtime, and make up our own story. We will pick a general theme and then each of us (myself, my husband, and our son) will take turns adding a line to the story. By the end, we have the best and silliest story ever heard. It makes some great memories and it allows our son to show off his creative side.

September 6, 2014 at 5:30 pmI loved to read any thing by Beatrix Potter to my son son when he was a tot. Peter Rabbit was his favorite. Now I love "love You Forever" by Robert Munch. I give a copy of it along with the baby quilts I give out.

September 6, 2014 at 5:46 pmMy older sister read to me every night. We had a lot of Dr. Suess
books. I am sure she taught me to read.

September 6, 2014 at 5:47 pmMy favorite book(s) to read to my toddler at bedtime is anything by Mo Willems – his stuff is great! I have been trying to read Charlottes Webb to her too, but she is still a bit young.

September 6, 2014 at 5:48 pmI loved to hear stories my dad would tell me about when he was a little boy growing up on the farm. My favorite ones to read my children are whatever they pick each night; it's the best snuggle time ever! Some of their favorites have been Goodnight Gorilla, Where's my T-R-U-C-K?, and I Know a Wee Piggy, to name a few 😉

September 6, 2014 at 6:50 pmMy favorite bedtime story is The Kissing Hand. I've read this to the preschoolers I teach and they remember this when they are away from their mamas during the day. It really helps!

September 6, 2014 at 7:18 pmChildhood was a long time ago but I remember a book with a sunny yellow cover with a painting of a girl in a swing, entitled A Child's Garden of Verse by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was fun to read everyone's favorites.

September 6, 2014 at 11:35 pmI always loved to read the "Little Critter" books to my kids. They were about real life things, things that are relevant in most kids lives. My favorite came out when I did childcare. It was called something like "A very Special Little Critter" about a Little Critter in a wheelchair. I did daycare for a mix of Special Kids and their siblings, and other kids. I did "inclusion" and "mainstreaming" before they were words.The kids all loved that book most of all, because there were very few books depicting children in wheelchairs, that were "normal" and playing with non-disabled kids too. cdahlgren at live dot com

September 6, 2014 at 11:40 pmMy favorite books to read to my kids and Daycare kids were the "little Critter" series of books. The kids favorite was about "A very Special Little Critter". It was about a little critter in a wheelchair, and 25 to 35 years ago, there were very few books that depicted kids with Special Needs having fun and playing with their friends, both disabled and not. I did a childcare that was full "inclusion" or "mainstreamed" before those were coined as terms. I took kids with and without special needs, and treated them all with the love all kids need. cdahlgren at live dot com

From childhood loved the Berenstain Bears book, Uncle Arthur's Bedtime Stories, Laura Ingles Wilder, Boxcar Children, to name a few. My Grandma read Strawberry Girl to me when I stayed there one time. That has always been a special memory to me!

September 8, 2014 at 9:44 am'Twas the Night Before Christmas. I have such found memories of my parents reading us this book the whole month of december. We could never fall asleep that month anticipating Christmas. My parents thought they were calming us down, but really it just made me more excited. Then my dad would say, only ___ days til Santa comes!

Brenda
September 8, 2014 at 1:17 pmMy favorite books to read aloud are the Dr. Seuss books — the more tongue twisters, the better. As a kid, though, I learned to read early and so remember reading to myself more than being read to. One of the most profound for me as a young girl was Heidi.
