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!

Congrats, random #140, Kirsten and Tracy said...


Happy Birthday!!! I thought turning 30 was fantastic! Enjoy! :)

Tracy


THANK YOU everyone for the warm wishes for my birthday!  I loved reading them all!

The BIG 30 Gift-away!

So it's official!  I have turned the big 3-0 today!!!  WHOO RAH!  I have always heard of people dreading turning 30, but I am so excited about being part of the Thirties club, I think people think I am nuts.  My twenties were great... a lot happened in my twenties that I loved {don't worry, I am not about to list out what happened in the last ten years of my life.}, but I am ready for a new decade of my life and I know it is going to be FANTASTIC!

So, to kick of my thirties... I went bowling... along with some friends and family.  We had so much fun... I think I am going to have to do this monthly. 

Who says turning 30 can't be fun?

In celebrating me turning 30 today, I am going to give someone else a special Birthday gift from me.  All I am going to tell you is that you will not want to miss out on receiving this gift.  {HINT: It might involve some fabric and some sweets}  And all you need to do is leave me a comment and you are automatically entered in the drawing.  EASY PEASY! 

To make it even more fun {for me} I am going to stretch my birthday out until Monday night at midnight.  I will announce my birthday gift winner on Tuesday, April 6.

So, who will be my lucky birthday winner?

Winner...

Do you think you guessed the right amount of DUM-DUM's?

For those of you that do not know what a Dum-Dum is, it is a delicious little lolli-pop that is the perfect size to satify your sweet tooth and comes in several yummy flavors. My kids look forward to receiving these after visiting the doctor's office. Also great for using to bribe your little one in completeing chores and as a reward when they do good.

Okay... I let you wait long enough.... There are...

228 Dum-Dums

There was not a single person that nailed it on the head, however there was one person that was only 5 dum-dum's away from guessing the correct amount.

Congratulations, Jodie!

Jodie said... Congrats on the 1 year and I am going to say 223

Thanks to everyone for all the lovely comments on my 1 year of blogging and for participating in my DUM-DUM Giveaway!
