Today we have a special guest in the house. She is a mother of 4 (nope- not Kimberly this time), Blogger of Amy's Creative Side, Co-Captain of The Sewing Summit, and now Author. Amy Ellis is the name and her newly released book, Modern Basics, is today's game. Let's start it off with a little Q&A!
How did you get into quilting? Tell us a little about your background.
I've been sewing for 20+ years, which is hard to believe! I learned to sew garments as a girl. With my own kids, they grew out of clothes too fast, so it didn't make sense to sew for them. I needed to find a way to keep my sewing juices flowing, so I learned to quilt.
What inspired you to write a book? What inspired to write one on this topic specifically?
Going back to being a mom to 4, I was looking for simple and interesting patterns that could be finished easily in a week or two, instead of a month or year. I wasn't finding them, and started sketching my ideas, which eventually turned into a book proposal.
What is your new book about? What makes your book stand out compared to others on the topic?
Modern Basics is a pattern book, and then some. I sew at the kitchen table, and so I encourage those that don't have studio space, or any spare space in their homes to find room, and have tips for finding time too. Being a stay at home mom to 4, time is not in abundance, but quilting has become an outlet for my creativity and I am not planning to stop!
Thanks for visiting us today Amy! Now, what is a blog tour without a giveaway!?
If you comment on this post telling me your favorite line on our Coming Soon page you will have a chance to win an autographed copy of Modern Basics!
PS. Next stop on the blog tour is One Shabby Chick on March 1!

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 302 Newer› Newest»cant wait for sherbert pips
countdown to christmas - sweetwater
easy question! Sherbet Pips & Aviary 2 :-D
I'm really looking forward to Silent Cinema.
This book looks great. I'm excited to get my hands on a copy eventually!
That page is dangerous - too much good stuff!! I like Reindeer Games, not that I need more Christmas fabric :)
You are NOT making me choose ONE! Yikes.Ugh.Man.
Okay, Sew Cherry from Lori Holt.
That is always a tough one, love so many of them. I love primitives and I love fun fabrics. But, for my favorite today, I just saw the wash day blues, love those. Not only are they great for primitive quilting, but would be beautiful on fabric boxes.
Debbie
animal party too....perhaps because i've been babysitting grandchildren this week!
Oh baby I'm in love. Feed sack 2 yum
I can't wait for Artful Home!
I'm excited for this book! and Aviary 2 :)
'Ready Set Go' Fat Quarter bundle by Ann Kelle for Robert Kaufman.
plnewhou(at)juno(dot)com
Wow, that's a lot of stuff to choose from. I love Foliage Batiks and Camelot, but the one that really grabbed me was Artful Home. Just gorgeous!
My favorite line is Be Merry Bears from Teresa Kogut for Marcus Brothers. Love the Christmas Bears
theme.
Its so fun to look through the Coming Soon section. Here's my short list: Choo Choo You, Farm Fresh, Sherbet Pips, and Strawberry Fields.
stephensons4 at embarqmail dot com
The line aviary 2 is the one I'm most excited about.
I like artful home
I love "Faith Collection for a Cause." Such pretty colors!
Sandy A
Grace by 3 Sisters for Moda. My hands are ready for Grace. I have plans!
My favourite coming soon line is Le Petit Poulet.
There's so many, it's hard to choose, but I really like the Hoo's in the Forest. Really cute!
I just LOVE Amy's book so far. This book looks like it's a great one to have. I'm loving all the quilts I've seen so far during this tour.
Oh gosh, it's been awhile since I checked out your coming soon fabrics page. I am in SO much trouble. I know one line I've been looking forward to already is from Kate Spain and her new Christmas line, Flurry.
And then the Milan and Verona Bellagio Road are both just gorgeous too.
Thank you for the chance to win Amy's book.
Great book! I can't wait to get my hands on it!!
I love Jovial by Basic Grey!
I'm looking forward to the Dr Seuss Grinch and the It's a jungle out there fabric. I'm a child at heart and love anything with cute animals with little beady eyes. Thanks for a chance to win Amy's book!
Really I have to choose just one? I looked through dozens and picked so many I want. I stopped looking when I got to Modern Workshop by Oliver + S. Which is fabulous! I bet it would look great with the patterns in the book!
ascottherridge (at) gmail.com
Wow what a selection! I really like Bancroft. I've used Judie Rothmeral's fabric before and I love it.
Can't wait for Artful Home and Bouquet Garden!
Cherry Fizz by Barbara Jones. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love the Bouquet Garden :D
Love the new book by Amy the quilts look great.
My favorite range is Fa La La La La by French General it's what I'm looking forward to just love all French General ranges.And a close second is Grace by 3 sisters.
Aviary 2. I love joel dewberry! So excited to see Amy's book, it looks fantastic. I'm another quilter without a space so I'm excited to hear her tips!
Sherbert Pips! What else!
I'm excited for Animal Party Too - great baby quilt potential!
I can't wait for Flurry to come out! Farm Fresh is cute, too. I have to say, though, that I love Silent Cinema. I'll be keeping an eye out for that one!
I really like the looks of Bancroft. I like the quilt on the cover of Modern Basics too! thank you for the opportunity to win a copy.
Mary
There are a couple that are my favorites but I guess Grande Finale by Sandy Gervais is one of my very favorites. Let it Snow and Artful Home are close too though.
this book is amazing!!! The more I see it the more I NEED it :)
Okay, how is this the first time I've realized that Amy is a mom to 4 and still has time to write a book? Love that!
The book looks like it would be very helpful and nice to have. Thank you for having this giveaway. I'm looking forward to at least three fabrics. Grace by Three Sisters is beautiful, as well as Northern Cardinal by Holly Taylor. Warm Memories by Kansas Troubles is pretty too. So many beautiful fabrics coming out it truly hard to pick just one.
I'm looking forward to French General's Fa La La La La. Thanks so much for the interview!
Feedsack II, but love a lot of the different Christmas ones.
Hoo's in the forrest looks fun! Thanks for the chance to win!!
It's a real treat to see whats coming up. JOVIAL really caught my eye. Great color combination. Kathie L in Allentown
I like Northwoods by Lunn Studios. Great lines coming! Thanks for the giveaway chance for the book. :)
One is way too hard because every time I look at it, I find I want more.
Right now I'm going with Dem Bones by Andover Fabrics.
You mean I can only choose ONE line that I am looking forward to??? Okayyyyyy, I choose Fa La La La La by French General for Moda. is it June yet????
Hullabaloo and Sherbet Pips, for sure! And lots of other fabric lines look yummy as well. Thanks for the chance to win :)
Dr. Seuss Flannel looks like it would make a great blanket! Can't wait for that.
Wooohoooo! Great book!
Do I have to pick just ONE fabric line? I like Artful Home, LOVE Joel Dewberry so Aviary 2 makes the list, and although I keep telling myself no more novelty prints, I can't resist Sherbet Pips.
Okay, I admit it, there are others I like, but I've already gone over the limit so I won't mention Flurry or Fa la la la la, or Silent Cinema or...
I'm loving Flurry!!!
I love Sherbit Pips & Just Wing It!
I LOVE Embroidered Garden, and Wedgewood, and Cherry Fizz... it's impossible to pick only one! Some of these come out soon... maybe my husband will want me to buy myself a small present for his birthday... HAHA. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome book!
If we can only pick one my vote is for Artful Home.
ginger c at gmail dot com
Summer Animal Party Too! Love the bright colors.
I'm waiting for Sherbet Pips. I couldn't choose Christmas fabric on principle.
I sew at my kitchen table too! I'd love to win this book :)!
I have to choose just one, there are so many that I want... but it I must the is would be Bancroft, no Aviary 2, no Alice's Wash day blues... yes that's the one Alice or maybe,,,,,,,,
I would pick Lilac Hill. It's a beautiful line!
I love the colors in Artful Home. Thanks for all you share and for the chance to win this book.
I can't wait for Ready, set, go! Will be great for my 2 year old! Also can't wait for Strawberry fields for me!
SO many choices! Aviary 2, Sherbet Pips, Silent Cinema..... even some of the batiks look fabulous, and I'm not normally a fan. And I swear to god that I am making a Christmas quilt this year - so add Flurry to the list!
It is hard to narrow down but I love Just Wing It by Momo.
Cherry Fizz looks like it will be fun to play with. Good luck with your book. Great cover!
I'm looking forward to Flurry by Kate Spain. It was a difficult choice though :)
Love all the quilts I've seen in this book. MJ
Well I have 2 and I cannot narrow it down any further....lol I hope this does not disqualitfy me for the draw but I cannot lie...I am waiting for hands down, "Sherbert Pips" and "Pom Pom de Paris" French General for Moda Fabrics...I just love both of them. thanks for all the info and would love a copy of the book.
I like Aviary 2 and Artful Home. Thanks for the giveaway!
Are you kidding me? Another blue/brown line of fabrics! I'm like Alice Wash Day Blues. I love Pure; but, this is so different from Pure!

I really like the Aviary 2 fabrics

Definitely want Countdown to Christmas by Sweetwater.
hello, I'm looking forward to Hullabaloo and Modern Workshop. Thanks for the chance!
I like "Alice's Wash Day Blues". It speaks to me chromatically and literally. It's reminding me to start a load of wash. I really want a copy of this book. I sew at my kitchen table too! -Rachel from CA, 1ratchet@sbcglobal.net
Definately waiting on Sherbert Pips but Joel Dewberry's line looks amazing also!
I think it would have to be Aviary2. Thanks for the opportunity.
Artful Home! Love-love-love those colors!

Greats from Luxembourg/Europe
That book looks like a ton of fun~! A favorite fabric line? REALLY? I couldn't possibly choose. I mean, well maybe... but no, no it's like asking me which of my children I love best. It couldn't be done. They are all fabulous in their own ways! Fortunately I can afford to have more fabric than children!
Cheers,
Dionne
Definitely the washday blues.
Oh I feel like I'm waiting for so many fabrics! There's Strawberry Fields of course, and then Hullaballoo! I also can't wait for Cherry Fizz! There are more but I am not supposed to be writing an essay! :S

butler83ataoldotcom
Wow! There are some great lines coming in the next weeks and months. It's hard to pick one:) I'm looking forward to Reindeer Games and the yardage from Lilac Hill and Dr. Seuss flannel. I didn't realize that Monique Dillard has a book coming out. Yahoo! Love the premise of this one.
sherbet pips! Thanks for a chance to win.
Waiting for Cherry Fizz by Barbara Jones for Henry Glass! And Amy's book to make some of those cute patterns.
I love Sherbet pips, thanks
tough call between Aviary 2 and Sherbet Pips ... I think Sherbet Pips wins!!
Flurry by Kate Spain, can't wait to see that fabric! Thanks!
So many great ones, but I love Grace by 3 Sisters. Thanks for the opportunity to win!=)
I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of Sherbert Pips!
Thanks!
Modern Workshop by Oliver+S is so pretty!
I love the new line Artful Home. Thanks for the book giveaway.
Amy is certainly one busy lady - sewing, quilting, mom of 4 and still she finds time to produce a book or two.
the mango garden looks just yummy.
Sherbet Pips!!! Also, Flurry by Kate!!
Thanks for the chance to win such a great book!
Hullaballo! But then I am also waiting for Flurry and the new Anna Griffin line, I have eclectic tastes...lol and grave fabric! Thanks for the chance to win Amy's new book.
I like the Artful Home FQ bundle best
I would have a hard time picking just one! Hoo's in the forest, Sherbert Pips, Choo Choo you, and a lot more. Thanks for the giveaway.
As I was browsing the list I couldn't get past the Fa La La French General line for Christmas. I love everything she does, timeless work. (Of course I'm looking forward to the Pips like everyone else)
I love anything Moda! I would love to get my hands on Grace By Three Sisters! I also like Sweethearts by Darlene Zimmerman.
Thanks for the book giveaway!

Would love to win this quilt. My favorite line is "Alice's Wash Day Blues". It is delicious. Hugs
I have been waiting and waiting for Lori Holt's Sew Cherry to be available--it can't be here too soon!
Karen in Breezy Point
Can't wait for "Warm Memories" by Kansas Troubles and "Reindeer Games" by Sandy Gervais!!!
Thanks for the giveaway!
So much to choose from! I'm excited to see Ann Kelle's new "Ready Set Go."
ooooh so many choices. I'm loving the Forest Northwoods.
It's hard to choose, but I really like "Gallery in Red II" and "I love snow" fabrics.
Thanks for the giveaway!
My top pick is Bellagio Road! It's just lovely.
OOH,OOH,OOH! Hard to choose just one. I'm going to pick my favorite as Jovial by Basic Grey mainly because I love the project quilt made from the fabric. Trees and pinwheels for Christmas that's heaven. Other Christmas fabs that are putting a twinkle in my eye are Merry and Bright by Henry Glass and Reindeer Games by Sandy Gervais. Last but not least is Strawberry Fields by Fig Tree. Joanna always has some new sweetness! Amy's book looks wonderful thank you for a chance to win. Janita
It's way too hard to choose my absolute favorite, but I'll have to pick to fit the bill here. Since it is so difficult to find fabrics for the men in our lives and they love quilts, too, I'd have to say the Sew Sporty line by Dan Morris for RJR Fabrics.
I love the fabric Artful home. It reminded of my house and family. All have artistic talents. I would make a great quilt for my husbands stain glass room. Thank for the chance
Love the Christmas collections but already have enough to make about 4 laps. Love batiks and the PrincessMirah Flower Power look great - hardto find gold and yellows in the LQSs.
the Artful home line really caught my eye - looks fabulous!
Thanks for the chance to win this book!
Alice's wash day Blues is a nice basic color blend. Tamer than alot of other lines out there which I like.
I'm really looking forward to Artful Home and Sherbet Pips!

Well, there are so many: Cactus Garden Batiks and Desert Springs Batiks are both calming and soothing for me; and Grand Finale is exciting; but: [here it comes] what I really need is Warm Memories, because they feel like home in a snow storm! Oh, and Bellagio also piques my interest!
Earth Animal Party is a cutie!
I love Artful Home.
I can't wait for FLURRY! I love Christmas AND Kate Spain. And I've been following Amy for awhile now - I'd love to get her book!! THANKS.
So many gorgeous fabrics, so hard to pick! I think my absolute favorite is the Farm Fresh line though!
I would love a chance to win the book. My favorite Coming Soon item is Grand Finale by Sandy Gervais.
Ok, doesn't seem fair that we can only pick one favorite line! :) But since that is the rule, I am going to have to go with Grace, by Three Sisters! Coming in a close second was Reindeer Games, by one of my favorites, Sandy Gervais.
Shelley
I love artful home!! Just my style...thanks for the give away!
I am so, so, SO excited for Joel Dewberry's Aviary 2!!
All of those batik collections are SO wonderful, but I think my favorite of the upcoming lines might be Winsome by Kim Diehl. Those colors are so rich and luscious!
I'm looking forward to Hoo's In The Forest ~ SO CUTE!
ourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com
I love the coming soon page, but who knew we would be perusing the Christmas fabrics on the first of March!!! I have been waiting for (love) Artful Home by Heather Mulder Peterson, but Jovial by Basic Grey has caught my eye too! Both look like great lines of fabric for the holidays!
Strawberry Fields by Fig Tree Quilts! Thanks for a chance to win!!! :o)
Farm fresh looks so fun and sweet.
Strawberry Fields thats my favorite, I love to design my quilts with Moda Fabrics.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Have nice day.
Diana
Aviary 2 is what I'm waiting for!
How on earth can you pick just one. I cannot, no matter how hard I try. So the two that stick out as absolute must haves are Warm Memories by Kansas Troubles and Haunted Hollow II by Jacqueline Paton. LOVE THEM!
Just ONE? About one for each member of my family?
Me: Artful Home
Boy: Animal Party Too!
Girl: Hoo's in the Forest
Hubs: Winter Magic
Thanks for the chance to win!
Not sure if it is on your coming soon page but I know it is coming eventually, LOL, RUBY!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!!
I am looking forward to Artful Home! Thanks for the chance.
can't wait for cherry fizz! :)
So many to choose from!! I love Bouquet Garden and Farm Fresh. I am a mom of 5 so I would love this book!!
Fa La LA La La by French General
Right now, I would have to say that my favorites would have to be a tie between Countdown to Christmas by Sweetwater, Flurry by Kate Spain, and Ready Set Snow by Me and My Sister.
I love Strawberry Fields by Fig Tree Quilts. That is my favorite of all the new fabrics that are coming soon. Thank you for this giveaway.
Have a super great sewing and stitching day.
It's a tie for me between Cherry Fizz and Sew Cherry. Cherries are the bomb! Love 'em so much. Also wish I could order one of everything if wishes came true! Thanks for carrying such great fabrics.
My favorite is Heather M Peterson's Artful Home.
Alice's washday blues has some great fabrics to finish a quilt I stqaarted 20 years ago...
I adore Modern Workshop by Oliver & S! Many thanks.
They are all winners, but my favorite - for today is - O'Tinsel Tree.
So many choices! I love almost everything I saw, but my favorites are:
Desert Springs Batiks
Flower Power Batiks
Aviary 2
Francesca
Thanks!
Karen
So many that I 'want' :) but, I'm looking forward to:
Bellagio Road

Thanks for the chance to win this book - what I'm looking forward to? How about Gallery In Red II along with ChristmasHolidayDrSeussWedgewoodSapphireWondersetc - in other words how do you choose when you want them all?
I really love the Be Merry Bears Yardage , Teresa Kogut for Marcus Brothers Fabrics! It's so cute & I love the book you're giving away too! Thanks!
Lisa
mistyfuji *at* yahoo *dot* com
Um... Aviary 2 because I love that wood print, and Modern Workshop. Thanks for the chance to win!
Well, it's hard to choose - I think Sherbert Pips is my favorite but Silent Cinema is a very close second. One thing for certain, I was not ready to peruse Christmas fabrics - ouch! I'm craving spring.
I cannot wait for about 20 of these...but I do have to say Strawberry Fields will have to be coming to my home soon! :)
Aviary 2 is wonderful. Would enjoy winning Amy's Modern Basics book!
I'm excited for Kate Spain's "Flurry" line!
That was so hard to choose just one...but I chose Just Wing It, already dreaming up a project, but best wait, I could use one from the book ;)
