From the workroom....

This past Saturday, we decided to work on our Robotics Fabrics by Moda.  The designer is Ingrid Slyder and she has created a bright, fun vintage robotics print, strip and overall design.  We have the Village Square pattern designed by Quilt Country that we wanted to try so here we go.

We started out with our Robotics fabric and then added 3 additional Moda complimentary fabrics to showcase the featured fabrics.

Randy provided all the work on this sample.. Cutting the squares, piecing all the pieces together and even took the photos.. She is truly a "Jack of all Trades" and glad she is my Business Partner.

After an hour or less going over the perfect fabric matches for this sample, Randy began cutting and chain piecing.  Oh, forgot to mention that we would occassionally take a short "chat" every once in a while while she diligently sewed.

In less than half the time it takes to cook a pot roast, she was done.  I've got to add the inner and outer border, but this is a simple, quick and easy quilt.  Easily a beginner quilt for sure.  The biggest problem will be picking our fabrics. 

If you like this sample, you can purchase fabrics AND/OR the pattern from our www.3quiltingsistas.com website..

Special thanks goes to Moda and Ms. Slyder for having such a cute collection and Quilt Country for designing a quick and easy pattern.

Keeping you in stitches,   Phyllis

 

Thinking of sweet Velma today..

   

Velma is 97 years old and recently made this beautiful quilt top along with another and sent them to be quilted. 

    I am wondering if quilting has had anything to do with her longevity. It obviously hasn't hurt her. She tells me she's not as good of a quilter as she was in her seventies and eighties, but I'm not so sure.

    I am blessed that she loves how they turned out and that quilting these tops for her gave me a chance to get to know her a little better.

We've gone Robotics

We have the Robotics collection by Ingrid Slyder for Moda in inventory now and ready to ship.  These are the 1950's version of robots and in the bright, fun colors. 

In the collection, we have the Robots, which feature all sizes and colors of robots in squares, encircled with gray tabs on a bright red back. 

Complimentary stripe fabric goes with the collection and included the main colors.

An overall robot ships covering a bright blue background. 

Match this with our Moda Marbles of Flag Red, Royal Blue and Electric Yellow.  A sure hit for a lap quilt for a todder or your favorite little boy.
