I would say, back in January 2010 was when I really got back in to the quilting scene. I've known how and dabbled in it for 12+ years but never really got hooked, so to speak. That is until I found Moda Bake Shop. It started with Rachel's Scruffy Quilt. Here's mine. I still love that quilt! Then I found blog after blog after blog of inspiration and I was hooked. The designs. The fabrics. It was all I could think about for a while. Sometimes it still is.
I have always followed patterns though. Always. I never thought I was good enough to change things up and if I tried, I was afraid I'd mess it up and all that work would be lost.
That all changed. I'm constantly playing around with designs now. I usually start with a pad of graph paper and a pencil, and once the idea is formed I take it into EQ7.
I learned one day that anyone could submit designs to Moda Bake Shop. It wasn't just limited to those that had already posted tutorials. It couldn't hurt to try.....could it?
May 13th, 2010 I submitted my very first design.
May 16th, 2010 they said yes to my design. **heart still flip flops at this thought...lol**
First I freaked out on Twitter.
I re-read the email just to be sure and then started freaking out on the couch.
It may have looked and sounded like the men in white coats needed to come get me...hahah!
Needless to say, I was extremely excited!
