Welcome to my day on the Moda Bake Shop SWEET CELEBRATIONS Blog Hop! If you are a new visitor to my blog, hello! I hope you'll find a happy place here. I am so excited to share the news about Moda's second book release! 
I
feel so privileged to be a contributor with such an amazing group of
"chefs". The book has been a long time in the making and I know that you will find a lot of inspiration and wonderful
projects. And the best part, it releases this month! Here are some of the fabulous projects you'll find inside:
How's that for inspiration!
Oda May over at Moda Bake Shop has asked me to answer a few questions for you!
I love corner pieces! I'll have to admit I'm a frosting fanatic, so I always ask for the corner. C'mon, it's the best part of the cake, right?
2.What is your favorite part of quilting – fabric selection, piecing, quilting, binding – and why?
Here is the order of what I love the best about quilting. 1. Fabric Selection. I love to pick out fabrics and a design a quilt and I have always loved the cutting! There is something peaceful and methodical about it. The little stacks of cut fabric just make me happy. 2. Quilting. I really like machine quilting! It used to scare me, but I actually get excited about it now. Maybe someday I'll have to get me a long arm (in my dreams:). 3. Binding. There is just something about picking up a needle and thread and hand stitching. And bonus, I can to crawl in bed and catch up on all the shows on my DVR to do it! 4. Piecing. It's crazy, but this is my least favorite part about quilting! Though it is fun to see the pieces come together, I just want it to be done!
3. If you could have a quilt shop spree, which items would you snag off the shelf?
Fabric of course! And I love pre-cuts. It's such a great way to get all the fabrics available in a certain line and you know they already go together.
Thanks Oda May!
The time of year I was asked to celebrate is Back to School! This is absolutely my favorite time of
year. One of my projects in the book is this back to school messenger bag
and lunch tote!
The gingham is patch-worked and they both feature a little apple applique. Ready for a yummy recipe to go along with it?
How about some Caramel Apple Cupcakes? That's right, instead of frosting there's melted caramel on top. Don't they just look like your favorite caramel apples? Here is the scrumptious recipe:
(sorry the giveaway is now closed)

Would grab fat quarters- they are my favorite. Can't wait to try your recipe.
I would grab fat quarters in a bunch of different lines. And of course some thread to match!
As many Moda precuts that I could. They are so essential to making anything. So darn versatile and so many ideas. Of course, winning a copy of my own Sweet Celebrations sure would come in handy for all those precuts. Thank you for the wonderful recipe, a layer cake that I shall use and a chance to win.

I would grab lots of Moda precuts-3 Sisters, Fig Tree,
Bonnie and Camille. Kate Spain....and some big spools of Aurifil thread!!!
Thanks for the recipe and the chance to win.
I would grab LOTS and LOTS of MODA pre-cuts! As many as I could. I LOVE all things MODA and using the pre-cuts make projects so much faster and easier!!

I would grab some precuts and yardage for backings.
OOOH, a shopping spree in a quilt shop! I would grab all of the fat quarter bundles I could find! So much you can do with those! Thanks for the recipe--looks scrummy!
I thought about it and decided why grab the pre cuts? Take the bolts! Then i could pile books and patterns on top :)
Some of my favorite Moda precuts and some yardage to do with them! What a dream that would be! Love you quilt of leaves. Beautiful!
hulseybg@gmail.com
Great post!!! I would grab books and every piece of Moda fabric I coule get my little hands on!!
Thank you for this chance to win.
It would depend on the store - the local shops are soooo different in what they carry! In one, I would fill a cart with pre-cuts but in another, that carries very few of those, I'd grab bolts of shirtings and white.
The book looks terrific - thanks for a chance to win it. I think I would grab layer cakes or jelly rolls if I was on a quilt shop spree. you can dive right into sewing them up! Thanks....and have a nice day!
I would grab pre-cuts and books!
I would grab FQ bundles! Especially the Simply Color line or anything by Kate Spain.
I would be grabbing all the precuts! I love them all! Thanks for the recipe - it looks so yummy! And thanks for the chance to win.
I would grab charm packs and FQ bundles, and some thread.
Love your projects! I always love fabric and would definitely want to load up on FQ bundles or layer cakes.
I'm going to make some of these cupcakes for tonight. Thanks!
i would grab fabric, for sure, and particularly fabric lines! more than 1! like several yards of everything...
Just about everything! :) Gorgeous fabric, thread, and a few notions. :)
A quilt shop spree? To die for!!! I'd grab as many fq bundles as I could!
Oh my....first of all..that would be heaven. I would grab fat quarters of pretty much every fabric that struck me. Right now I would love to have some of the Simple Life and Winterkist. I would also stock up on battings and backings.
I would grab as many fat quarter bundles as I could and also some of the new mini charm packs to use as accent fabrics on smaller projects I make.
I would definately look for some minis. I have a few projects in mind!!
I would grab as many fat quarter bundles as I could.
Since my quilt shop, @ sewitbetter.com (no I don't get kickbacks), has fabulous sewing machines, and since my sewing machine is elderly, I'd love to "grab" a more updated sewing machine as I spree for some Blitzen, Ruby, Sophie, and Share the Joy fabric precuts. They are all just gorgeous!!!
I think I would go for bolts - white, ivory, good neutrals to compliment other fabrics -and the as many fat quarter bundles as I can grab.
fat quarters!
those cupcakes look yummo! I would grab 2 yds of each of the fabrics in the Indie Collection by Pat Bravo, those are calling me!
I would grab a FQ stack of the next Sweetwater or Kate Spain line.
I always want their full line!
A quilt shop spree ? After I regained conciousness, I'd have my plan of attack include books and fat quarters ! Your bags are great...I really like the shape of the lunch tote. Thanks for the recipe (YUM) and giveaway!
If I could go on a spree I would get lots of aurifil thread (in every color) and lots of fabric. Halloween and Christmas prints and tons of Tula Pink! I would also get lots of batting and a few quilting books. Yep, it would be a dream!
Oh boy, what would I grab?! I would go for as much thread as possible. Just so my colour choices would be endless!!

I would love to fill my minivan with "ALL THINGS MODA"!!!

I love moda fabrics so would be searching for any precuts I could find . Thanks for the recipe, they look yummy.
a quilt shop spree would be amazing!! i'd grab precuts & bolts of solids. :)
A quilt shopping spree would be SO fun--I think I'd grad some layer cakes and maybe a bundle of fat quarters. I printed the cupcake recipe--they look yummy!
I would go for the layer cakes as I find them more suitable for the types of things I am creating lately. Thanks for the opportunity to win. Judy C in NC
First I'd grab the fabric, then maybe a new time-saving tool that I have had my eye on for some time. Then, if I hadn't spent all my money, I'd go for the books for inspiration. I'm hoping I win a copy of this new book. I may have to put it to the head of the wish list if I don't win.
I would grab some FQ stacks and some yardage to coordinate. I always seem to forget the yardage and have to scrounge and search to find coordinates when I'm ready to use the bundle!! The bags are cute, and recipe sounds fun! Thanks.
If on a quilt shop spree, especially one that has time limits, would grab pre-cuts of fq stacks, and whatever else was easily acessible.... and maybe some full bolts of a current fave line so have great backings, borders, and bindings. Oh this would be so much fun!
I would grab some moda jelly rolls, layer cakes, and fat quarters in my favorite lines, and then some yardage for coordinating with. I'd also grab miscellaneous notions I've had my eye on (a bunch of Marti Mitchell templates ) and batting! You can never have enough batting! (Luna, of course! :p)
Thanks for the opportunity to win!

Fabric! I'd love to grab some FQ stacks.

I would grab as many pre-cuts, especially layer cakes!, as they would let me before they haul me out! Love them!!

I'd grab a new sewing machine........a long arm! :)
A long arm! Not that I have any space for one but hey this is a fantasy right?
I'd probably head for the fat-quarter bundles and load up as many as my arms could carry! :-) I love those beautiful bundles of prettiness-- they are wonderful to use in any project-- but they're also so pretty on a shelf in the sewing room! :-) Thanks for the recipe-- it sounds delicious! I think I might have to try some this weekend!! And thank you for the chance to win!!
I'd have to say that I would go for all the notions, books, patterns and fabric that I could fit in my car and if it's a quilt shop that carries sewing machines, I would get myself a new serger and a new sewing machine too. That would be lots of fun to go on a shopping spree! Thanks for the chance to win a book and a layer cake.

Is this the kind of spree where you are given 10 minutes to grab everything you can & you get to take it all home (without having to pay) I dream about winning that kind of spree in a fabric shop. I would grab bundles of "Little Apples", "Woodland", "A walk in the woods", "Children at Play" & "The Simple Life" to make things for my daughter - I love the beautiful drawings in these. I find them so inspiring and then I would grab arm fulls of "Rock n Romance", Avery II, Windsor Lane & Ooh La La from Bunny Hill, Some Flirt by Sandy Gervais....
Not that I am not loving about 20 other lines at the moment but I only have 2 hands and 10 minutes to grab everything.... ahhh what a dream : )
Jelly Rolls - all I can carry or could I bring my husband who can carry more than I? This is so much fun and those cupcakes! yummy.

I would grab everything...I am a newbie at sewing. But got to say grab precut blocks to jelly rolls.
I would go to the pre-cuts and grab one of all they had. I think that would be the quickest way to get a lot of different fabrics.
