Introducing Moda Fabric's New Designers!

Hi everyone! We're so excited to introduce two of Moda Fabrics NEWEST fabric designers and collections. First we have Ambleside by Brenda Riddle of Brenda Riddle Designs. Her collection for Moda Fabrics is inspired by her Grandmother's quilts and her vintage fabric collection. Ambleside's colors and prints reflect the crisp breath of spring. 

We're loving the soft spring hues of Ambleside. 

Jen Kingwell of Jen Kingwell Designs is no stranger in the quilting world. Her huge fan base in Australia and her new take on traditional quilts makes her the queen of scrappy! Jen's first collection for Moda Fabrics, Gardenvale, was inspired by her love of scrappy quilts. She enjoys the process of mixing many fabrics in each project, the more the better! Her quilt designs are often described as vintage with a modern twist! 
Gardenvale is absolutely stunning and it's the perfect addition to your stash! 


Can't wait to get your hands on them? We have both collections available for pre-order at our shop!

And guess what? We snatched two fat quarter bundles from Quilt Market to give away! To enter, let us know which new Moda Fabrics collection is your favorite in the comments section of the post. We will pick two lucky winners randomly on December 15, 2014. 
And the winners are...
Thank you so much for joining us and happy quilting everyone!
