Flirtation and Spotted
from Zen Chic
by Moda
| That lime green really pops, doesn't it? We love how it accents all of the prints in this group. The focus fabric (bottom in photo) brings additional colors into the mix - you can really have tons of fun making something new and different! | |

To The Moon
by dear Stella
Do you know a little girl who wants to go to space? This sweet line is perfect for making her a bag, a pillowcase, a backpack or a quilt to boost her interest. The focus print (top in photo) has several girls floating in space among stars and planets. The multicolored coordinates will bring color and shape to your project. Add a few tone-on-tones of your own, and you've got a wonderful gift for your own little astronaut.

Flower Girl
from Heather Briggs for My Sew Quilty Life
by Moda
Sweet, sweet spring...that's what each of these pretty prints represents. Soft flowers, and lovely color send us rushing to our patterns, in search of the perfect project. Any of the fabrics in this group will work for clothing as well as quilted items. Bring spring home with you, and add it to your living space year-round.

The Great Outdoors - Panel
from Stacy Iest Hsu
by Moda
This fun panel makes a bear backpack! Create a unique accessory for your little one with just this panel, some Fusible Fleece, and a zipper. The instructions are printed right on the panel. Once complete, the bear has a zipper for a mouth, and some stuffed fish to feed him. Lots of fun for a toddler or small child.

This ruler is pretty big, but super-versatile! the Creative Grids Big Easy ruler is 12 1/2" x 24 1/2" - a monster for your sewing space. But it's great in so many ways! Square up large blocks, use it to mark crosshatching for quilting, trim quilt edges, cut borders, and use in home dec sewing, too! It's got easy-to-read measurements, in both black and white. If you do a ton of big sewing, you'll definitely find a use for it almost every day. | |
This Robin Pickens pattern looks so fresh and fun! Tightrope is both jelly roll and layer cake friendly, so if you've got some of those precuts just sitting on your shelf, they're perfect for this project. Although it doesn't look it, the piecing is pretty simple, and you only need to add two fabrics to the precut pack you use. The instructions include two sizes - a lap and a throw - both are very usable and make great gifts, too! | |
