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!

  8. Lovely children - look like MOM. I love layer cakes, too - their verstility and the ability to use the a larger sections of the design for coordinating. The big hit was the covered button, binding clips that I made for our sewing class ladies, Mom, and daughter.

  16. How awesome - a Layer Cake pincushion. I can also see the grandkids using it as a pillow. LOL

    My fav Moda Bake Shop design by you is most definitely the Baby Burb Cloths and Bibs. I have made my own "sampling" of these and they're a great gift for any new mom.

    And making them for your granddaughter's dollies is fun too (hint - yes I did).

    My fav Moda precut is the jelly roll. I find myself using these fun precuts more and more. And then I love using the leftovers to conjour up something new.

  23. I love your bear paw quilt because I love traditional quilting. My favorite precut is probably the fat quarter bundle, but you've almost convinced me that the layer cake is the way to go!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Layer cakes are my favourite at the moment, more affordable for me than fq packs but still very versatile.
    My favourite pattern of yours is Flat Emelie and Matt, a fantastic birthday present for a special little girl I know!!

  28. Greetings from Northern Saskatchewan CANADA!

    Congrats on the new book! I love all precuts but have to say I love fat quarters the best! You can do so much with them! Mostly I like to collect them! I have to say I love your bear paw quilt the best on Moda BakeShop! Thanks so much and keep up the great job!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I like layer cakes the best, too! They're very verstile and I love that I don't need to take the time to cut up yardage. My favorite "recipe" of yours is the Princess Pea quilt. SO CUTE! I'm planning to make a mini version for my daughter's doll. Thanks for the chance!

  30. I love the layer cake too. It's just the right size to see all of the larger prints and amazingly versatile! My favorite projects of yours are the modern quilts and the ABC Book and the snail (adorable!). Thanks so much for all the work you do for MBS - I just love heading over there and seeing what people are doing. I make projects based on MBS tutorials all the time!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Well, my favorite precut is the jelly rolls (today) but that is subject to change at any moment! I adore your Bunny eggs and also the baby burp cloths. Since I mostly make custom baby bedding those are a GREAT add-on! I can't wait to get my hands on this book!!!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I'm just discovering Moda Bake Shop and precuts and all the fabulous things that go with! I love the Jelly Rolls so far, but I'm seeing a lot to do with layer cakes too. I just love the napsack recipe and since I have 4 boys and 3 nephews (all under 15!) I will be making a lot of these this year :) Grats on the book!

  35. Adorable children!

    Congratulations on being published in this "must have" book. Can't wait till it comes out!

    I actually have 3 favorites - burp clothes with bibs, binding clips and flat emilie and matt. Have made the first two and the flat emilie and matt is in progress for grandkids.

    My current favorites are the jelly roll and charm pack, but actually just ordered/received a layer cake to try. They are all so great - it is hard to choose a favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I think charm packs are my favorite at the moment. I like your bib and burp cloth recipe. I'm having a girl (after 2 boys) in June - and I'm in desperate need of some girly things - and this will be great!
    Can't wait to check out the book!

    ReplyDelete
  37. My fave pre-cut is also the layer cake! It seems to be the best bang for your buck and the most flexible (other than the FQ bundle, which has loads of potential and flexibility but a huge price tag!)

    my favorite project of yours is the vintage inspired bear paw - it's on my to-sew list!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I like all the precuts, but I think the jelly roll is my favorite. I like your burp cloths - I need to remember those for the next friend who has a baby. But truly, your kids steal the show in the project photos. Adorable! Thanks for a chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  39. I love the bear paw quilt - I'm so glad I can go back to MBS and select the next project that I want to do. I love charm packs to make pin wheel quilts. Congratulations - I can't wait to get this book.

  40. I like layer cakes and fat quarters the best because I feel like I have more fabric to work with and it is more versatile. Thanks for the link on different ways to cut a layer cake!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I love your princess & the pea blanket. So cute!

    My favorite pre-cut is the layer cake. Big enough to give you tons of options. However, I agree with the first poster that charm squares are so wonderfully affordable that you can see a whole line for low investment!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Well I have to say that I love the charm packs but with all the talks about layer cakes, I guess I need to give them a try.
    Your favorite pattern of mine is a toss up between the eggs and the simply modern quilts. Love them both! Congratulations on being published!

  48. Hi Angela! I will be honest and tell you I have not used Moda's products yet but one of my 2011 goals is to learn how to sew so I can! You're a great inspiration and I love your website! My favorite of yours are the kids blankets. I really want to make those for my kids!

  50. Good morning Angela! Congrats on the book!
    Ok so my favorite pre-cut at this time is the honey bun as it has saved my hands so many times. Right at this particular time I am in the process of making one of your patterns for my daughters bff from high school as she is having her very first baby, one they told her she would never have. I have wanted to make the "Princess and the Pea" quilt for a long time and now I have a girlie girl to make it for yeahhhhh. I also have my very own little girlie girl grand daughter so I love making the so very cute little girls items for her. Thank you for the wonder*filled recipes that you have been so kind as to share with us.
    All you ladies over at MODA rock!

  52. It's kind of hard to pick one favorite project, I like so many!! That shower curtain is gorgeous! The kids clothing is adorable and unique. And the hair clips (as a binding clip!?) are fun! Those just might be my favorite. Something quick and cute to whip up.
    My fave precuts are charm packs, but now it just might be layer cakes!

  55. My favorite precut is the charm pack. I have a serious addiction to them! I am planning on making your Flat Emelie and Matt from MBS for my granddaughter. I think she is old enough now to enjoy them! I have enjoyed the progressive dinner. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I have to pick just one?
    I just started sewing and have only used the jelly roll, which was fabulous. I ordered some charm packs and think they are so cute. So really I can'y choose yet!
    And your projects. I can't just pick one of those either. I LOVE the quilted nap sack and the bunny eggs. I love the out of the ordinary and those are fantastic!
    Can't wait to get the book!

  62. I love layer cakes and charm squares. There's so much you can do with both of them. I'm having a hard time deciding which of your recipes I like the most..your new layer cake recipe is so cute, looks like you could just cut into it. I've made the sock monkey pattern into a pillow, turned out very cute!

    I would have loved to make your "cherry topped layer cake" for the dramatic play area when I was a nursery school teacher. I will have to make it for my friend's class.

  78. The pin cushion is adorable! There are so many cute projects on the Moda bake shop, but I'm going to say the easter eggs because I have some wooden eggs and have never figured out what to do with them - I'm not very good at painting. I also love the Flad dolls. I will definitely be going back to that site! I also love the alphabet book and bibs/burp cloths.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Thank you for the giveaway! My favorite precut would be a fat quarter! And, my favorite project of yours (a little hard to pick! is the Bear Paw quilt. It's a design you don't see very often anymore but it's beautiful. Thank you.

    As for your MBS patterns, {chuckle} love the eggs! How cute are they?!? Thank you Angela!

    ReplyDelete
  84. I hate it in a way, but my favorite pre cut is a charp pack. Mainly because of our limited budget, it is something I can afford yet get a chance to have all those samplings of great fabrics! However, like a big silly head, I didn't think about the fact that you can split the layer cake into 4 charm packs is like an amazing thought!!! I think it could quickly become my fav!

    ReplyDelete
  85. my fav project by you is a tie between the shower curtain and the easter eggs ( must start on those now !)

    my fav pre-cut is the layer cake

    I dearly LOVE MBS - thanks for all the work you do there. it is much appreciated

    Being new to quilting, I'll say that fat quarters are my favorite pre-cut (simply because I've never used anything else...)

  107. I love layer cakes. The moda recipes that I like of yours are all the children's clothes. I love to make my daughters skirts and dresses. Congratulations on the book. I can't wait to get my copy

  108. I love the fat quarters and charm packs! I adore the bunny eggs! What a very cute idea! Thanks for sharing a chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  109. I love fat quarters because they're so versatile. And, those eggs of yours could not be more darling. The little girl's clothes are adorable, too.

    ReplyDelete
  110. It's a toss up between layer cakes and jelly rolls, depending on my mood. I like your bear paw quilt best :)

    ReplyDelete
  111. I love layer cakes too! They are so versatile, and leave so many scraps behind for later quilts. I love the bunny eggs, and also the ABC booklet. I've added so many projects to my list this week!

    ReplyDelete
  112. Definitely Max & Whiskers is my favorite Moda precut! I Love your "Cake" project!

    ReplyDelete
  113. Congrats, Angela! The book looks like a yummy treat~ I can't wait to dig in! And thanks for your role in the life of the Bake Shop. It's been a constant source of inspiration & encouragement over the last two years, and I SO appreciate it!

    Ok, I love charm packs because they're a versatile, inexpensive way to experience a whole collection of fabric without too much investment/commitment. And as for my fave design of yours, I almost can't decide: the sunday best outfits, the nap mat, the bib/burpcloth set, the bearclaw quilt... but I have to say that the Route 66 quilt is my very favorite! It is so modern and such a great non-traditional application of this traditional art. Very impressive. Best of luck with everything...

  114. Love that cake! I think my favorite are the Layer Cakes as well. The patterns I find seem to always work with Layer Cakes. I love your Layer Cake Shower Curtain. Thanks so much for having me;)

  115. I love all the pre-cuts, but today I'll pick jelly rolls, because that's what I've used the most. My favorite projects of yours -and they are all wonderful - is the Easter eggs, with the bear paw quilt coming in a close second.
    I love the "calorie free" cake recipe!

    ReplyDelete
  116. I've never actually used precuts so can't honestly answer that...the Bunny Eggs are awesome, I do believe I'll try that this year also the Baby Burp Cloths & Bib Set

  117. My favorite is the Fat Quarter Stack - you can make a quilt and have plenty leftover for other projects. I love your baby burp pads, especially since you used one of my all time favorite MODA lines - Sweet!

    ReplyDelete
  118. For me I think it's a toss up between the charm squares and the layer cake. I love the alphabet book and snail that you designed :)

    ReplyDelete
  119. It was so great to meet you :)

    I love JR's and FQ. They are becoming my all time favorites.

    And projects....your shower curtain is gorgeous

    ReplyDelete
  120. Hahahaha, I love that your hint is "hint, it's the pillow." BEST HINT EVER!
    My favorite precut is a tossup between layer cakes and fat quarters. I think I'm still partial to fat quarters because not only can you do everything that you can do with a layer cake, twice, you can also get 4 extra charms or strips from binding. Layer cakes are a close second.
    I LOVE your toddler wear! Especially since you included a boy outfit and I can never find good tutorials for my toddling boy!

    ReplyDelete
  124. My favorite precut is the FQ pack, because I like to have lots of all the different fabrics, but I also love jelly rolls and layer cakes. hard to choose. My favorite project of yours is the flat dolls. Very creative. :) I'm very excited about the new book! Thanks for a chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  125. I love your travel mug... I think I need to make some of these for the girls at my quilt shop. Like you I love the layer cake... Thanks for sharing with us

    ReplyDelete
  126. Hi, This has been so much fun, I'm sorry to see it end.:( My favorite precut is the fat quarter, you always have a little left over. My favorite project that you've done is the Vintage Inspired Bear Paw Quilt. The bear paw block is one of my favorites. Congrats on the book, can't wait to see it. Are your children models? They photograph so beautifully!!And they stay still so they're not a blur. Sorry to see this end, I've found so many new blogs to read and learn from... Thanks :->

    ReplyDelete
  127. The only precut I have used is a jelly roll. I really like two of your Moda Bake Shop patterns - the bear paw quilt and the baby bib & burp set.

  131. Congratulations on the new book and thanks for the chance to win!

    Your past work is so beautiful; it's hard to pick just one! However, it has to be the Quilted Nap Sack (for grandchildren when they sleep-over).

    My favorite pre-cut is the fat quarter bundle because I love the "leftovers".

    ReplyDelete
  132. I love FQ's. I really like your Vintage Inspired Bear Paw Quilt. This has been a great progressive dinner.

  133. I love your modern quilts for kids - the Route 66 and flower ones. Very nice. I also like layer cakes the best, out of pre-cuts. So easy to work with. By the way - your food photos make me hungry! :)

  135. I really like your ABC Book and Snail Softie and the princess and the pea blanket! My favorite pre cut is the layer cake.

    ReplyDelete
  136. My favorite precut is the fat quarter bundle followed closely by the jelly roll.

    My favorite of yours is the Sunday Best pattern. It doesn't hurt at all that your models are gorgeous.

    ReplyDelete
  137. That's an adorable recipe and your kids are just to cute! =)

    My favorite pre-cut has been the jelly roll, but after hearing your layer cake praise I think I have to give them a shot =) The jelly roll is tightly followed by the FQ bundle, I mean who can't love all that fabric?

    My favorite project of yours is clearly the Princess Pea blanket, adorable and seem so much fun, I have to make one one day =)

    ReplyDelete
  138. I love your quilted nap sack tutorial! With 3 kids I need a good place for them to nap. I go back and forth between charm packs and jelly rolls as my favorite. I have used layer cakes before and I am getting excited to try them.

  139. The Bunny Eggs project is my favorite project that you have done for MBS.

  142. My favorite is the Jelly Roll. I love strips and stripes and can make just about anything with them. I often pair with Charm Packs and have an quick gift when I am in a time bind.

    My favorite pattern of yours is the softie snail. I have made several and they are always a hit!

    ReplyDelete
  143. Hi Angela,

    Thanks for sharing the idea of the pin cushion cake! It is very sweet!

    My favorite precut is the charm pack, but I agree with Cakegirl, you are definitely making me take a second look at them layer cakes!

    My favorite of your Moda bake shop designs is the layer cake nap sack. I have two boys and would like to make them some. They look easy enough, which is imperative since I only started quilting three weeks ago.

    Thank you for the opportunity to enter this great competition!

  144. My fav precut is the jelly roll as it's perfect to make strip skirts for my three girls. I LOVE the princess and the pea quilt...has been in my To Do Pile for quite some time...but as the house is under renovation, my sewing room has officially become the junk room :( But one of these days...

    ReplyDelete

  149. My favorite is charm packs. As a new sewer, who's afraid of cutting (IE MIScutting fabric)they are perfect.

    I really like your NapSack and your ABC book and Snail Softie. :) I have a 2 year old and those are so perfect for him! :)

  152. what a cute idea - love the pillow

    ReplyDelete
  153. My favorite pre-cut is the layer cake because it can be used in so many ways, but doesn't cost quite as much as buying a FQ bundle. Love that it's already cut into a specific size, and I can get 4 charm squares from it.

    ReplyDelete
  154. My favorite pre cut it fat quarters. My favorite project of yours in the ABC book.

    ReplyDelete
  155. I only used Charm pack. I would like to try different kind as well. They look all fun. I love your hair pin project. I have discovered not so long ago how fun fabric covered buttons are.

    ReplyDelete
  156. My favorite pre-cut is fat eigths just enough witout too much left over.

    ReplyDelete
  157. My favorite Moda precut would be the charm packs. I honestly thought that all of your designs were darling! I had a hard time picking a favorite, but I think that the shower curtain is a very neat idea and the eggs and the snail were also very adorable.

    ReplyDelete
  158. My favorite is the bear paw quilt you posted! That has been on my to-do list for ages. I have a number of other WIPs I have to finish (so says my husband) before I can get to work on it, though. :/

    I'm a big fan of charm packs, but I guess that is because that's all I've ever gotten. I like that I can get a taste of all the fabrics in the line and have a quick project I can whip together in no time with them.

    Congrats on the book!

    Congrats on the book and thank you for creating MBS-It's a lifeline for me!

    ReplyDelete
  181. Favorite Moda pre-cut is the charm pack because they are inexpensive and easy to create a simple quilt or turn into a more stunning project! :D


    I love all your little kiddy clothes...the first time I saw you put one of those patterns up I was so inspired! I didn't know you could do that! :D HeHe! I also love your bear paw quilt - I love traditional patterns as much as I love the modern ones, and having a nice tutorial that I could follow is great. I am a new quilter though, so haven't made much yet from the site...just print out the patterns for future quilting. ;) HeHe!

    I must say as well, that your ruffled table runner tutorial, though not for Moda, is one of my favorites! So fun and frilly! That is next on my project list to make. :) I can't wait to do it!

    Thank you for the pincushion pattern - DARLING! idea...love it! :D Can't wait to make one of these as well now. ;)

    Thanks so much!

    Thanks for the great week of fun!!!
