My Dinner Date with MBS

Welcome to my kitchen! For those of you that have not been here before, I welcome you and hope you will stay a while. For all my returning guests... I am so happy to see you again!  {My little helpers are glad you are here, too!}


I am very excited to share with you the latest and fabulous addition to the Moda Bake Shop, Fresh Fabric Treats BOOK published by Stash Books! 


The book is scheduled to ship out in May 2011, so be sure to pre-order your copy so you can be one of the first to own!  There are 16 NEW Delicious Treats that range from quilts to tote bags which all use Moda precut fabrics.  {Did you know there were such things as Moda Bake Shop eggs? not really... but there should be.}


I am so thrilled to be able to contribute to this book!  Here is just a sampling of what projects you will find in the book.  {Can you guess which one is mine?  Hint... it's the pillow.}


Just a little bit about me... I am a mom to two beautiful children and a wife to a very supportive husband of 11 years. {in 11 days it will be 12 years!}. I have started to develop my own pattern line as an outlet to be able to share my thoughts and creations to those that enjoy to sew and create as much as I do. Be sure to check out my pattern designs and free tutorials. I really hope you enjoy what I have to share and can find the inspiration needed to get you going on your next project.

I am a full-time web developer for Moda Fabrics and work under the direction of this talented lady. I also manage the Moda Bake Shop and have been a Chef since the very beginning and now currently have 17 recipes posted. 


We launched the Moda Bake Shop website in January 2009 and have been amazed by the response and submissions we receive on a daily basis.  The website would not be what it is today without the talented Chef's that have contributed to the site over the past two years and all you readers that visit the site.

Jenny Garland, who is also one of our talented Chef's featured in the book and on the website, is our MBS Editor and has taken over much of the responsibilities for maintaining the site.  She is also having her Dinner Date today, so be sure to go check out what she is cooking up and enter to win her giveaway hosted on her blog.

By now, you all should have already visited the other 14 Chef's kitchens that are featured in this fabulous new book.  If not, you must go check them all out and see what exciting things they have to share with you on their Dinner Date.


My favorite Moda precut is the Layer Cake. There are so many things you can do with a Layer Cake...
1. Cut it into 5" squares and instantly you have 4 charm packs.
2. It is the perfect size for applique's and you can take advantage of using all the prints in the collection.
3. There are many other ways to cut a Layer Cake and it goes together so quickly and easily, you can get a quilt top done in a day!

So... I have cooked up a very special dessert for you today, using a Layer Cake, to complete your Progressive Dinner.

I present to you... the Layer Cake Pincushion. I hope you enjoy! Click here for the Printer Friendly Recipe.


In celebration of the launch of this new book {btw... did I mention how fabulous this book is?}, I am giving away a copy of the new Fresh Fabric Treats book and a Moda Layer Cake.

To top it all off {with a Cherry on top}, Moda is giving away a $200.00 retail value of  Moda precuts (1 each of every type of precut... layer cake, charm pack, fat quarter bundle and MORE!) AND a copy of the Fresh Fabric Treats Book!

To enter leave me a comment with:
1. Your favorite Moda Precut
2. Name your favorite project that is designed by me on the Moda Bake Shop.
3. Be sure to leave a way for me to contact you incase you are randomly selected as the WINNER!


Winner will be announced on Friday, January28. Prize will be shipped in MAY.

THANK YOU to STASH BOOKS and MODA FABRICS!

  1. My favorite MBS project of yours is the Vintage Bear Paw. I actually have charm packs of Glace that I've been holding on to. I think they are destined to be made into that quilt!=)

    ReplyDelete

  2. OH MY!
    Ok, with your projects, I LOVE the authentic kids clothes, the flip flopping top (can't remember the exact name, sorry), the eggs- my daughter had sooo much fun last easter making these with me, flat mat and emilie, I definetly love the projects that most involve children!
    My favorite pre-cut so far has to be jelly rolls, but I am eager to try out layer cakes- they seem so useful!

  3. Hi Angela,
    This is my first visit to your site, and I will definately be back. Love it!! I like all your projects on MBS, but if I have to pick one it would be the vintage bear paw quilt and the coasters (ok 2, I couldn't pick just one). My favorite precut is the fat quarter, cause it is the only one I have used. I really want to try a layer cake next. Congratulations on the book. :)

    ReplyDelete

  4. Pick a favorite? That's not easy!! I think I'll go with the Lattice Shower Curtain. Although I liked the burp cloth and bib one too.
    I've only used a charm pack pre-cut (and that was just in the last month!), and I loved it! I would like to try a jelly roll next. I have a feeling once I do, I won't be buying yardage and cutting it up myself anymore!

  5. I love to buy charm packs at this point all though any pre cut is a great addition. I love the ABC book you made and plan on making one for my baby girl that is on the way:)

    ReplyDelete

  6. I am having such fun visiting everyone. I really like layer cakes also. Plus charm squares cuz they are cheap . Sometimes I would like to get a little of something rather than nothing at all. Ya know? When money can be tight.

    One of my favorite's of yours is Simple Modern Quilts, and Charming Coasters. What Fun. You have so many really good recipes.

    I am really glad that I found Moda on the web.
    Thank you for the chance.

  8. I don't know if this was supposed to be included in one comment...but I like your bear claw quit on Moda Bakeshop.

    ReplyDelete

  9. My favorite pre-cut when I have a big budget is a fat quarter stack. Otherwise, I love the layer cake too. My favorite patterns of yours are the simply modern quilts. I think your use of the pre-cuts are really innovative on that one.

    ReplyDelete

  10. my favorite precut is Fat Quarter Bundles cuz i make mistakes and always wish i had more fabric ... i LOVE the Princess and the Pea quilt best - the clips are a close second

  11. I love jelly rolls and I love the shower curtain pattern that you put on the bake shop!

  12. OOH! Love your Flat Emelie and Matt! I must say - you've changed my mind about pre-cuts. I used to be a charm square person but you can create 4 charm packs from layer cakes - good point. Thank you! scrapcattouch@gmail.com

  13. Hi Angela, I've never visited your blog before, but now I plan on following you! I have saved some of your MBS patterns before. I think my favorite of your patterns is the Quilted Nap Sack, and Layer Cakes are also my favorite because of their versatility. Thanks for the chance to win such a generous prize!!

    ReplyDelete

  14. Can I just say that your kids are adorable? They make great models for your work.

    I am also a huge fan of the Layer Cake, for exactly the reasons you stated. Your shower curtain is awesome..... I need a new one, and I really like your pattern. Time to go fabric shopping! :)

    Thanks so much for a chance to win!

  18. Congrats on the book! I'm so excited for it! My favorite precut was the charm pack but I'm starting to lean toward the layer cake. Since everyone has been talking so wonderfully about it. My favorite MBS project of yours is the simply modern quilt. I just love the Route 66 so cute!

    ReplyDelete

  22. Congratulations on the book! My favorite pre-cut is jelly rolls, I love the versatility. I've used your tutorials to make button hair clips, coasters, bibs, and burp cloths. I love the Princess Pea blanket and hope to make that someday for my little girl.

    ReplyDelete

  23. I love layer cakes for all the same reasons. So much flexibility. But I can't resist a jelly rool either! I am goiing to make your pillow as soon as I get the book!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  26. My favorite pre-cut right now are the charm packs! I just love them!! I love getting all the prints in a collection! It's hard to pick a fav recipe of yours- you have so many good ones. I really do like the binding clips, the shower curtain and the Bear Paw Quilt!! Thanks and congrats!!

    ReplyDelete

  27. I love the honey buns. My favorite recipe from you is the Bear Paw Quilt. I have not completed it yet, but it is on my list. Love it!! debflack6 at yahoo dot com

    ReplyDelete

  28. Hi Angela! Congratulations on being featured in the upcoming book...I can't wait to get my mitts on it!

    Right now I'm loving charm packs and jelly rolls. Haven't used a layer cake before, but I'm looking forward to it! And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your Vintage Inspired Bear Paw Quilt! My sister just asked me to make a quilt for her and after browsing all the pattens on MBS, she chose that one! Great choice, eh? :o)

    Thanks so very much for your generous give away, and thanks to Moda and Stash Books for making this all possible. It's been loads of fun!

    XOXO,

    Cyndi

  29. Layer cakes are also my favorite - there are so many ways to use them! I absolutely love your vintage bear claw quilt :)

    ReplyDelete

  30. My favorite pre-cut is the fat quarter. I love to buy the whole range of a fabric line in a fat quarter bundle. My favorite recipe of yours at the Moda Bakeshop is the girl version of the Simply Modern Quilts.

    ReplyDelete

  31. I made my very first quilt with a layer cake! Right now I am making a quilt with a Jelly Roll (or two!) and love them too! I am torn between your Vintage Inspired Bear Paw Quilt and your Charming Coasters! How about 2 favorite instead of 1?!

    ReplyDelete

  32. Hi Angela,

    My favorite Moda pre-cut is the charm pack but lately I have been eyeing layer cakes with new interest. I never realized that I could get 4 charm packs out of a layer cake, hahaha.

    My favorite Bakeshop pattern by you is the Princess Pea Blanket. I have made 2 and I have another cut out but haven't sewn it yet. I love presonalizing the little princess with different skin and hair colors.

    Thanks for the cake pattern. With me starting Weight Watchers this month it is just the kind of treat I need :)

    ReplyDelete

  33. Charm packs are my favorite, I love how little and cute they are. It is super hard to pick my favorite MBS pattern of yours but I'd have to say the eggs. With Easter around the corner, I think I need to whip a few of those up!! So cute.

    ReplyDelete

  34. Your kids are adorable and excellent hosts and models! There's really no way I can just choose one of your projects as a favorite... but I will say that your simply modern quilt caught my eye and I am determined to make something similar!
    I keep posting on other's blogs that I would love to have the fat quarters (because I never have enough cash on hand to get them) but I have to say that one of my favorite patterns (large stars for king quilt) uses the layer cake!

    ReplyDelete

  35. My favorite precut is the Layer Cake or Fat Quarter. As far as your recipes, I love the quilted knapsack and the Simply Modern quilts. They are adorable. Thank you for this opportunity. tasha(at)neodev(dot)com

    ReplyDelete

  36. Not many things better than a fabric cake! Mmmm, that looks good enough to eat! I've never worked with a layer cake, only charm packs. But I am definitely drawn to squares when I see quilts I like. :)

    ReplyDelete

  37. Rags to Ruffles is so cute! I'm new to precuts, so I'd try any, but I'd probably choose larger ones, like layer cake or fat quarters, for making bags. Thanks for hosting this giveaway.

    ReplyDelete

  38. I can't deceided between the Simply Modern Quilt, boy version or the flat people. I'll end up making both at some point! I have only ever bought jelly rolls, but I have loved how many projects I can do with them.

    ReplyDelete

  39. I totally agree with you on the layer cake being my fav. It is so versatile. My favorite MBS recipe by the lovely Ms. Angela would be the Princess Pea Blanket. I didn't realize so many of the recipes I've used were yours. Yeah for MBS! I'm really excited about Fresh Treats. Thanks for all you do to bring awesome free projects to the tables of quilter/crafters everywhere.

  40. My favorite pre-cut has to be the layer cake. I agree that there is just so much you can do with it.

    ReplyDelete

  41. I'm in love with (and have fabric set aside for) the Princess Pea Blanket. That was one of the first quilts that I fell in love with and started following quilting blogs thereafter. Thank you!
    And as for precuts, I think jelly rolls are my thing more than any other.
    Thanks for such an exciting giveaway!

    ReplyDelete

  42. Thanks for the fab giveaway! My favorite precut is a fat quarter bundle, because when it comes to fabric more is better! But layer cakes are much more budget friendly, and I often buy them. I can't wait to read your tips on cutting them! I really like your Flat Emelie & Matt project. That would be a hit with my guys.

    ReplyDelete

  43. I also love layer cakes and my fave recipe is the knapsack!

    ReplyDelete

  44. I like your bear paw or the modern quilt. It's hard to chose. I suppose it would depend on the fabric what I'd choose. I don't really have a fav precut since I'm so new to them. But I am just trying out a charm pack and a jelly roll and I really love them already. But I think that I'd like a large piece of fabric to use. So maybe the fat quarter pack might be for me.

    As far as favorite pre-cut, I love the fat quarters because I need AS MUCH yumminess as I can get! :)

    Loved reading your post. You really do have the most beautiful children. Aren't children the greatest inspiration!? Most of my great projects have been sewn for a child (one of mine, or someone else's).

    ReplyDelete

  47. You ROCK! My fav precut are honey buns and jelly rolls...very versatile...my fav project (do i have to choose just one?) was the Flats...I have made them for 6 of the teachers at my daughters school,my daughter and for nieces for xmas.

  48. My favorite precut has always been charms but after reading all these posts I may become a layer cake convert. I love your bib and burp cloth project........have used it many times and always a big hit.

  49. Your travel mug is great! And, like you, my favorite is the layer cake. It is one of the most versatile precuts for sampling a new line.

    ReplyDelete

  50. I have to go with you on the layer cake...that is my favorite cut, though I also have jelly rolls and charm packs in my stash. They trully are more versatile.
    Your vintage inspired bear paw quilt is lovely ..... also liked your bibs and burp cloths. Those would be fun to make with a new grandchild on the way.
    Congratulations for being part of the new book. You must be so excited!

    ReplyDelete

  53. Hello there! I'm new to Moda fabrics, but so far am loving the layer cakes as well. Your design I like the best is the baby burp cloths and bib set. This seems like a very unique project. I just wish I still had little ones that could use them, lol.

    ReplyDelete

  56. My favorite precut is also the layer cake! And I absolutely LOVE the children's clothing projects, all of them. I actually have them all bookmarked and on my to do list, now to actually do them before my little ones get too big....

    ReplyDelete

  63. I love charm squares because I can almost always justify sneaking one into the budget. They're small and cute like that. My favorite tutorial was your ABC book... too cute!

    ReplyDelete

  64. My favorite precut is charm packs, they're so easy to use with minimal cutting. As I get more experience, I'm sure I'll use layer cakes and fat quarters more, but right now I'm overwhelmed by all the fabric! :)

    I love your shower curtain! I can never find a shower curtain that I like in stores, so I may have to make one!

    ReplyDelete

  65. Your tutorials are amazing!! I have only used jelly rolls and charm packs up to now, but I love the idea of using a layer cake!! And my fave of yours is probably the bear claw! I quilt because of admiring my great grandmother's and grandmother's handiwork, so I love the sentiment as well!! Looking forward to learning more from you!!

    ReplyDelete

  66. My favorite cut is the fat quarter bundle. And I love your Bunny Eggs best! I'm adding that to my things to make list for Easter this year.

    ReplyDelete

  67. I have so enjoyed this progressive dinner - Moda is the best! My favorite precuts are the layer cakes also, I agree with you; so many ways to use them. I am currently working on a large hexagon type quilt using every single bit of a layer cake.
    I always love projects for kids, the ABC book is my favorite of your bakeshop designs; I haven't used the idea yet but I'm sure I will.

    ReplyDelete

  68. Your bearpaw quilt is my favourite! It's on my to do list!
    Thank you for all your creative recipes!

    ReplyDelete

  81. My favorite precut is also the layer cake! It is so versatile but is still such a time saver. I am working on a baby quilt right now made with a layer cake! My favorite project you have posted on Moda Bake Shop is the Bear Paw Quilt. It's gorgeous and maybe some day I will work up the nerve to try something like that. I haven't gotten past squares yet! Can't wait to check out the book! My email is 999ghosts@gmail.com

  85. I love charm packs -- I love looking at all the fabrics together... It is really difficult to pick one of your patterns that I like the best -- I love the fabrics that you use; your children are adorable!! The Bear Paw quilt is my favorite, but I plan to make the burp cloths, bibs, alphabet book, and snail for a soon-to-be-born little boy! Thanks so much for great inspiration!

    ReplyDelete

  86. So excited for the book! The pre-cut I buy the most is the Charm Pack, but I think I use more Jelly Rolls! I love your shower curtain, that's still something I want to make.

    ReplyDelete

  87. My favorite precut is jelly rolls. And my favorite of your patterns is Flat Matt - he is ALMOST the perfect man!

  88. I love the route 66 quilt, it is absolutely amazing. My favorite precut right now is the sunkissed layer cake. Thanks for the chance.

  91. My favorite project of yours is the Charming Coasters.

    ReplyDelete

  92. My favorite moda precut has to be the layer cakes, too. There are so many possibilities with size cut.

    ReplyDelete

  93. I can't pick just one precut! They're all so wonderful. But, if I HAVE to, I'll take jelly rolls. And charm squares. Yes, I know that's two. I told you I couldn't pick one.

    I absolutely ADORE the ABC book and snail softie. I'm a new mom and always on the lookout for fun stuff for baby boy!

    Thanks for being part of the Moda Bake Shop. It's one of my 'daily hits' to see what's new.

    ReplyDelete

  94. Congrats on being part of this book. I'm still a charms addict, although I've started picking up layer cakes when I've wanted to do more than one of a project (recently did mug rugs for my family). I love your bear paw quilt - it's one of my favorite patterns.
    I also adore your children's clothes. Unfortunately, my baby is 29 so I'll have to wait for grandkids!

    ReplyDelete

  95. I love your "nap sack". My favorite are jelly rolls. It is so quick and easy to get a quilt top done in a day!

    ReplyDelete

  96. I love ALL precuts. So nice when part of the work is already done & you can just sit down and sew. I'm in love with charm squares, especially the solids. Genius!!
    Love your showercurtain project.

    ReplyDelete

  97. I love your hair clip tutorial. Never thought to make one with a button. I am definitely making some for my daughter--thanks! My favorite pre-cut has been the charm pack. I love the size and like being able to use all the fabrics. Now that you mentioned the layer cake can be cut into four charm packs (why didn't I ever think of that?), I'll have to try it. It'll be so much better than buying three or four charm packs for a project! ;)

    ReplyDelete

  98. You are so talented! My favorite precut are the fat quarter bundles and my favorite project of yours on the MBS are the Simply Modern Quilts. Congratulations on the book and thanks for sharing your talent!

  102. I love the paper(cloth) dolls. I still haven't made them but I plan on it. I've only used the jelly rolls and charm packs but it sounds like the layer cake will be my favorite. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for your Moda work> Mary Jo

  113. My favorite precut is the charm packs, although I really need to expand my horizons with some other precuts. And I love those modern quilts! Adding that to my "to make" list!

  117. Favorite Precut: Layer cakes are big enough to do a zillion things with!

    Favorite Project: It's got to be those darling dolls: Flat Emelie and Matt. They're great for telling stories to the grandchildren or in a children's class at church! I even made more clothes.

    ReplyDelete

  118. Thanks for the invite! I have been enjoying my stroll around your blog. One of my favorite projects that you have created is the Flat Emelie and Matt. I loved it the first time I saw it in the Moda Bake Shop. I wish I had that pattern when my children were small! I may still have to make one just to keep on hand for future wee ones. I also prefer the layer cake pre-cuts. It really is versatile. Congrats on the book and good luck to all in the contest!

    ReplyDelete

  119. I love to use charm squares and jelly rolls...so many possibilities!! Of course when a fabulous project comes along that uses layer cakes, like your Quilted Nap Sack, then I'm all in for that too! Congratulations on the book!

    ReplyDelete

  120. Thank you for the cake recipe! :)

    I love Layer Cakes and Charms...both are my favorites. There are a few of your patterns that I like...Baby Burp Cloths, Simply Modern Quilts...and the Sunday Best clothes. Very cute!

    ReplyDelete

  121. My favorite precut is the fat quarter. But now I may have to try a layer cake! I loved your burp cloths & bib pattern. The pea blanket was cute too.

    ReplyDelete

  122. My favorite precut is the layer cake now that you mentioned about being able to get 4 charm packs out of it. I don't think that registered in my brain before. :)

    ReplyDelete

  123. Love the cute cake! Thanks for having us over. My favorite pre-cut is the fat quarter. Your bear claw quilt is just beautiful and has inspired me to make one for my son!

    ReplyDelete

  124. Okay I am totally impressed by your projects I wish my brain would come up with my own original ideas, instead I will use yours! I love the Flats projects...wow! I like the fat quarters. Probably because it is most familiar to me.

    ReplyDelete

  125. I love jelly rolls. I haven't used a layer cake yet, I may have to do that soon. Your easter eggs were fun.

    ReplyDelete

  126. Love the jelly roll strips. I've made a couple of quilts and it was so easy with very little cutting. I love your Flat Emelie and Matt. My daughter and I just finished reading Flat Stanley and I think I'll maker her her own little gal to travel the world. So fun. Thanks for all the inspiration!

    ReplyDelete

  127. I love fat quarter bundles....the more fabric the merrier....and I like your vintage bear paw quilt. I haven't ventured into the land of modern quilts yet, so I still stick with the standards. Congrats on the book!

    ReplyDelete

  128. My favorite project of yours on Moda Bake shop is the Flat Emilie & Matt. So cute!

    ReplyDelete

  129. Hi Angela, It is difficult to say which of her designs is my favorite , there are so many! so I say some, for example, Sunday Best, Princess Birthday Shirt, Layer Cake Pincushion, Authentic Toddler Wear, the great Snail Softie, and the Candy Wrappers as I would love be lucky to have a friend who could send me some chocolates from Hershey Here in Spain they do not sell and would bring me such good memories.
    I love all Moda pre-cut are fantastic, is an extraordinary way to have a complete collection of fabrics with a low cost, and so that you can make each project with a different collection.
    I really love a fat quarter bundle,there are lots of fabrics, a complete collection but if I must choose the thinking clever, I prefer one jelly roll and one layer cake, both from the same collection,then you have no problems with any project.
    Well, I cross my fingers, I hope to be lucky.
    Regards from Spain.

  130. My all time favorite is the Flat Emelie and Matt. This recipe is both functional and really cute! I haven't been to your blog in awhile -- the kids are getting so big! Hope all is well... Linda :-)

    ReplyDelete

  131. I love Jelly Rolls, I love to strip piece and find it super easy with jelly rolls. And I adore scrappy bindings so the jelly roll always comes in handy for that as well :) Lastly, I love your ABC Book and Snail Softie. It is just so stinking cute!!!

    ReplyDelete

  132. Well,, I thought I liked Charms best until you pointed out (duh on me) that you can cut a layer cake into charms. Sometimes I need more than one, you know?

    As for your recipes, it's the Softie Snail. Too cute by far!

  138. I have to say that I love jelly rolls the best! They are one of the first pre-cuts I really started to use on a regular basis. And with one and a yard of fabric you have a lap quilt top in a jiffy - got to love that! I love your hair bow holder project - my DD should could use one! I'm sad the blog hop is over - it was so much fun. I hope I win something!!

I've loved some of your patterns (snail, business travel accessories) but now seeing your name I adore the bunny eggs. . near the top of the ever growing to-do list.

  176. Hi Angela! So happy to meet you. :) Like you, my favorite precut is definitely a layer cake, for the same reasons you mentioned. So much you can do with them, and so quickly too! I absolutely adore your bunny eggs. They are just too cute! I had made a ceramic basket and eggs many moons ago when I was into ceramics, and a few of the eggs have broken over the years, so this year I'm going to make some fabric ones. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

  180. My favorite precut is the charm square. I love having a little bit of each fabric in a collection, without having to pay too much for it. ;) And once I start sewing with the charm pack, I find out which prints I want to buy yardage of!

    My fav project of yours is the cloth paperdolls. I also really love the princess and the pea quilt, though. I thought it was adorable the first time I saw it!

    ReplyDelete

  197. I've been waffling between jelly rolls and layer cakes as my favorite precuts this week, but you may just have helped layer cakes into the #1 position! As to my favorite pattern of yours, I'm stuck between the Vintage Inspired Bear Paw Quilt and the Bunny Eggs (see? there ARE MBS eggs!).

    Congrats on the book and thanks for the opportunity!
