Lemonade Stand from the YELLOW book available in May

This last week was very eventful (in my private life with my first child needing to be hospitalized for kidney issues again he’s doing better now thank you and we are working with great doctors) we also were having spring break, which mother natures settings went bipolar giving us one day at 81 degrees and rounding it out to the 50’s and 40’s and then yesterday giving us freezing rain and snow. And even though we are still heating up our houses and wearing puffy coats over here in the midwest, my advance copy of Simply Color Book YELLOW arrived at my doorstep (due to arrive on your doorstep in May) and it made for a very warm and happy time. Here is a picture of my YELLOW Book, my YELLOW fabric (Simply Colorful RED, ORANGE, YELLOW is due out in July 2015 please ask your Moda rep to show it to you!) with Moda and yes even my YELLOW thread found in my first thread box with Aurifil goes quite nicely!

And to answer the some questions about Simply Colorful: Yes, each color comes individually in it’s own pre-cut. They are available in fat quarter bundles (of the 10 different SKU’s of that color) Mini Jelly Rolls, and Layer Cakes. The charm packs carry all three colors together. YES, some of the fabric used in the book can be found in the new fabric line, BUT it’s a new fabric line so it includes many that are not in the book but can be substituted quite nicely!

YES! There are Ombre’s that go with this line. As a matter of fact this project in the ORANGE book called Cheese Crackers would look fantabulous in Ombre and I’m planning on making one again using the orange ombre next time!

Queen of Hearts from the RED book available now

AND YES! There will be fabric to go with the rest of the books in the series, the next three books are GREEN, BLUE, and PURPLE. And I can’t wait to show you those books and fabric! But not yet, right now lets savor these three!
