CUZCO

Market just happened again!  Isn't it AWESOME that we have so much "stuff" these days as quilters?  I can remember in the 80's & early 90's, there weren't all that many quilt shops & fabrics aimed at quilters.  There were "calicoes" etc. found at regular fabric stores.  That was back when people MADE things like dresses & shirts & pants & .....   I gave up making clothing when I took up quilting!  LOL

Market is more than just stuff for sale to the retailers.  It's a chance to network & see old friends & make new friends. Connect with people you blog with, etc.  It's also a chance to see LOTS of quilting because all the fabric manufacturers have quilts showing their new fabric lines.  Awesome to see all the leading-edge quilting in one place.

Sweet Chelair at Moda sent me one to get to work on.  It used CUZCO by Kate Spain that you see pictured at the top.  I fell in love with the backing!  It was orange with pink figure 8's like the blue & lavender one shown above.  I'm not an orange person (makes my skin look yellow) but boy do I like that fabric!

Yesterday there was a box at my front door about the same size as the one that the quilt top & backing arrived. 1st thought was- hmmm what could this be because I know Market is over & they don't need quilting this week. Very Pleasant Surprise!  Moda sent me a layer cake & jelly roll in CUZCO in thanks for squeezing their quilt in!  Gee, Thanks, y'all!  Yet another reason why MODA is my favorite!
