Moda Sweet Celebrations Blog Hop & Sweet Giveaway!
Hello, Hello!–Welcome to any new folks stopping by and thank you to my faithful readers for swinging by my stop on the Sweet Celebrations Blog Hop!
I have been just itching to share more new with you about the 2nd Moda Bake Shop book coming out very soon. Last fall, Lissa Alexander, invited me to participate in the book and of course that was a huge “yes indeed” & now I can finally share a bit more about the book.
Sweet Celebrations is a precut friendly book with projects for all of your favorite holidays. And today, my celebration for the blog hop is Wedding! Which is perfect because I just happen to have several wedding projects in the Sweet Celebrations Book…here’s a little peek:
I made a trio of “Love” pillows & a Wedding quilt using a.m.a.z.ing fabrics from Fig Tree’s, California Girl line of fabric.
As you can see, tons of great projects!
So, for the blog hop, Moda decided to do a little Q & A with questions from Oda May for each of the chefs. So, without further ado..a little bit more about Little Miss Shabby.
1. Do you prefer to celebrate with cupcakes, cake pops, or just plain old cake? Hmmm…I gotta be honest I am not much of a cake person in general. I can totally pass up cake at any event with no problem. Now, the hubster is a white cake guy all the way…and let me tell you, do not mess with the wedding cake…in his eyes it is one of the key elements to a great wedding.
2. Do your pets/kids/spouse help or hinder your creative process? Help for sure!–well, maybe not so much the pets…although she does make for cute photo ops(can you spot her?):
My daughter, Chloe was 100% the inspiration for this pillow:
after she showed me this adorable little water color painting she made:
3. If you could have a quilt shop spree, which items would you snag off the shelf? I’m going to go with future items because it always seems like I am waiting on a fabric line to come out. So, I would snag some Honey Honey by Kate Spain(I’ve seen a couple prints in person and they are fabulous!):
And, I’m also itching to see Bonnie & Camille’s next line of fabric after Marmalade. I actually had a dream about it last night(seriously, I’m not the only one who dreams about fabric, right?). It was an aqua, brown, orange line–they were going a more boyish route. And it had the same tree fabric in the line as Just Wing It by Momo for Moda. Craziness, right!?!
4. What have you gained from the online quilting/sewing world? What a vibrant community first of all! I think the main thing I have learned is to just go for it, dive in & have fun…you can do it. Too often, I think we sell ourselves and our skills short.
5. What is your favorite part of quilting – fabric selection, piecing, quilting, binding, and why? Definitely fabric selection…I love putting together stacks of fabric…I mean, seriously…
Bella by Lotta Jansdotter for Windham Fabrics
I actually began purchasing fabric before I ever touched a sewing machine or knew how to sew.
Now, as part of this blog hop, each chef was asked to share a recipe with you that corresponds to their assigned celebration. Well, if you remember my celebration was wedding…and when we think wedding, we all think cake! Well, as we learned earlier, I am soooo not a cake eater, however…I have a favorite cake…and it is one that is requested often to be made by my mom…it’s an old family recipe for Oatmeal Cake. Just thinking about the ooey gooey delight that is this cake, makes me want some. =)
There you have it–a little bit of fluff about Little Miss Shabby–and now on to some more fun…
It’s Giveaway Time!

The oatmeal cake does sound rather intriguing!
I’ve always wanted to make an Oatmeal cake, maybe I’ll try it now. It seems perfect for fall. Beautiful fabrics!!!
I love the “coming soon” fabrics you showed. Anything by Bonnie and Camile is worth waiting for. My mother made a cake similar to yours but the broiled topping had coconut in it. Yum!

Love your pillows. It is so sweet that you made a pillow using a design from your daughter. I did that years ago when I used to do cross stitch. I made a copy of my son’s drawing of a sun and did it in cross stitch.
The book looks like fun, Love your designs. Thanks for the recipe, YUM, YUM

This book looks sew cute. I would love to add this book to my quilting library, after I make some of the projects. Thanks for the giveaway.
That dream about Bonnie & Camille’s next fabric line was too funny! I, too, am looking forward to seeing what they will come up with next. And thanks for the recipe. A lady that went to church with us long ago made an oatmeal cake that was so yummy! I’m hoping this will be the same recipe!
Love, love, love precut friendly patterns! Such a cute pillow that was inspired by your daughter’s watercolour painting!
I can’t wait to see your project in the book! Thanks so much for the giveaway and your recipe looks delicious!!!

Please, me, me, me. i love oatmeal, i love books, and I too collected fabric way way before I ever sewed anything. he fabric still occasionally screams “don’t cut me” !!!!
Fabric selection is my favorite, too. I enjoy just looking at the piles!! Oatmeal cake is a cake I’ve never tried before….looks like I need to now.
This book looks so fun! And the cake sounds delicious!
Congrats on being part of such a cool book- the projects (especially those pillows) look great! I bet my husband would like that oatmeal cake… which means, if I make it, I run the risk of getting nagged to make it more often. Hmm… maybe I’ll make one for after our next mud run at the end of the month.
Thank you for the recipe~~ Looks delicious!!!!!
I would love to have a chance to win the book and some fabric~~~ Thanks for the opportunity!!!

I have a similar recipe for the oatmeal cake only we add chocolate chips! Love your blog and your wonderful quilting talents.
Oh, Corey how good for you, its so much fun to see what you are up to. Loved the comment about just go for it, or however you said it. Sometimes we are just to afraid to try, and then we will never see the “happy mistakes” that can happen.
Your oatmeal cake looks delicious! I may just have to try that soon.
Beautiful book. Thank you for a chance at the Give- Away.
Love the pillows, great idea and I have weddings coming up next year!

I love your trio of cushions!
The inspiration for your dotted pillow made me smile. All of the projects on this blog post are just lovely! Can’t wait to try the oatmeal cake…it’s making my tummy rumble just thinking about it!
I LOVE sewing! It became my lifeline 14 years ago when I was diagnosed with a horrible autoimmune disease that left me with breathing problems and pain. I found that touching beautiful fabric helps me forget that. I hand piece and quilt and it is a therapeutic way of helping me live life more fully. Thanks for an awesome giveaway!
Love your love pillows, they are so sweet. It makes me want to get some of that fabric line.
I’d love to win this book with such beautiful projects and the fabric is so lovely. Thank you for the recipe and the generous giveaway.
Oatmeal is so good for you. So, I know oatmeal cake is going to be so delicious. Thank you for the chance to win a copy of Moda’s Sweet Celebration’s book. This is a book that will be looked over and over again as well as becoming quite a collector’s book. I know for sure I really want one and can certainly use Moda’s Fat Eight’s bundle.

I love the polka dot pillow!
I just bought a Marmalade jelly roll, I think this book could give me some new ideas of how to showcase this wonderful fabric! Thanks!
The oatmeal cake sounds too yummy!
The book looks wonderful and loving all those pillows. It’s one thing I haven’t made for my home and I need some!
Thanks so much for the giveaway!
Oh wow your pillows in the book look so beautiful, but it’s not a surprise of course 😉 Now I know why you wanted to know the Japanese character for love back then! The book looks yummy!
Dream about fabric….yes, I DO!!!! Would love to win this book. XXXX
I sometimes too dream of fabric! That marmalade is one of my favorite collections…on a very long list of favorites :o) Working with fabric has always been very relaxing to me and the only form of art I seem to be successful with.
Thanks for the recipe–it looks tasty!
Yum, Oatmeal sounds good! The book looks like it has fun ideas in it!
What a great post! ALL that gorgeous eye candy in one place. Great recipe too so thank you for that. It looks good.
This book looks to me like a definite must have book and one I want already myself for sure.
I had a recipe for oatmeal cake years ago and would love to try yours. The book looks fabulous. I just ordered some California Girl fabric with no project in mind, I just love it. I too love the fabric selection part of creating, I have gained a little confidence by visiting others on the internet.
Beautiful projects! I especially love the water color one inspired by your daughter. She is already on her way to great things, just like her mommy!
The book looks great and I love your pillows. Yours was one of the first blogs I found when I began looking around this wonderful creative world. I also made some pillows with a charm pack of California girl.
Love your pillows! I can’t wait for marmalade yardage also! Great giveaway. Thanks!
Awesome prize! Thanks for the chance.
Thanks for all the inspiration! Love all the ideas.
Thanks for the recipe. This is the first oatmeal cake recipe that I’ve seen. Your wedding pillows are lovely. Thanks to you and Moda for the giveaway too.
I have not been much of a blogger until recently and I am really getting into it. Enjoying myself and dreaming.
I am super excited for this book. It looks very fun!
I love oatmeal thanks so much for the recipe.
Congratulations on the book, it looks lovely. Such pretty stacks of fabric! I’m looking forward to trying the cake recipe.
Oatmeal Cake? Sounds very interesting, I’ve never heard of it before and you’ve now spiked my interest into making it. I have the other book that I won from Angela Yosten and now I can’t wait to see this one. Thanks for the chance.
LOL you make me feel better about my fabric love…and yes, I have dreamed about fabric, also! The new book looks great, thanks for sharing some peeks at it!
I agree. Acquiring the fabric and just having it, is its own reward!
I have always sewn–well, more or less. Sewed early and long. Then did not for a while and now am back at it. But while I was not sewing I was amassing fabric!
I can relate. I LOVE the new marmalade, but I haven’t dreamed about it yet. The book looks great, how fun that you got to participate.
I love your contributions to this book and that recipe looks fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing – I’m leaving your blog inspired, as always!
Your oatmeal cake sounds yummy 🙂
Love this blog. Always looking for new recipes and fabric. It’s hard to turn down either. I just love petting new fabric and the challenge of making something with it.
Yummy….now I’m in the mood to bake:-)
Dreaming about fabric? For sure! Although I hope for a few reds and pinks in Bonnie & Camille’s new line;-) Thanks and greetings from germany, Hildy
I love your blog. This is an awesome book and I really would love to win. Thanks for sharing.
Really enjoyed your blog. Thanks for the giveaway and oatmeal cake recipe.
I’ll be making one of your cakes over the holiday 🙂
Thanks for the recipe and giveaway! I love your pillows!
Yummy fabric! And I have to say the pillow from your daughter’s watercolor is fabulous and gives me ideas for when my own daughter is older. 🙂
HELLO! THANKS FOR YOUR BLOG+NEAT IDEAS!
THANKS TOO,FOR A BEAUTIFUL GIVEAWAY!
The recipe sounds yummy…will have to give it a try! Thanks for the sweet giveaway!
I also had a huge stash before I started sewing! Thanks for the opportunity! Can’t wait to see the book!
I know just whom to make the pillows for! Very nice. Thanks for the chance to win some goodies.
Mmmmm I love giveaways even if I never win, I know someone out there will be happy they’ve won. Thanks for the chance!
I love the pillow you made inspired by your daughter’s painting! It is so cute! I’m not a cake person either so I really want to try your oatmeal cake. It sounds delicious!
This blog hop has been so much fun-! I have really enjoyed all the wonderful recipes! The oatmeal cake sounds delicious– but I’m not much of a cake maker.. (my middle daughter used to tell me , “You’re a good cooker-girl, Mommy” but she *wasn’t * referring to my cake making ability ;-)… Hmm.. maybe I can get my Mom to make this for me?!? 🙂 Thanks so much for the chance to win your wonderful prize!! 🙂
My two favorite things, quilting and baking! I want to curl up on your sofa and take a nap!
Nice interview! She sounds like a true creative! I like putting the fabrics together too!
I agree – shopping for fabric is so much fun! I have a similar recipe but mine ends up looking like a pumpkin. It’s really fun for October but has nothing to do with a wedding. Either way, I love oatmeal cake!
Congrats on the book! Thanks for a chance to win a copy and some great fabric along with it. I’ve never even heard of oatmeal cake but now I think that sounds amazing so I will have to try it out. Can’t wait to see what you are working on next.
The book looks fantastic – thanks for the giveaway.
Love the wedding quilt, but I especially love the pillows! What great designs, and the fabric selection is perfect.
Your trio of love pillows is wonderful. I also really like the quilt that you have in the picture. Beautiful fabric choices on all.
Thanks for the giveaway. I live in France so would be very happy to receive the ebook. Linda
I am loving the “feel” of this book! Can’t wait to see one in person. I have a similar Oatmeal cake that I love to bake.
Love your pillow that was inspired by your daughter’s artwork! Thanks for the giveaway.
Ha! I also started buying fabric before I touched a sewing machine or picked up a needle (my excuse was that I needed fabric first, right??)
I love that you were inspired by your daughter’s painting. Great idea! I can’t wait to see the book.
This looks like a great book. How neat that it has quilts for different occasions. I would love to win!
This book looks amazing! I love your pillows and wedding quilt! Gorgeous!
Thank you for the opportunity to win some extremely yummy fabric!
I have a very bad habit of ordering the featured book the day I see it but I will restrain myself with the hopes that I can win one! 🙂 I am slowly trying to add to my stash so I would LOVE to win! Thanks for the opportunity!
We used to make an oatmeal cake with broiled icing. Yumm!!!! It was a great cake to bring to the Texas State Fair in October to eat with our fried chicken and potato salad picnic. I think I’ll be baking this afternoon!
Hi! It would be fun to win this book! It looks so yummy!

Your pillows are AMAZING! I love the petal pillow! Thanks for the chance 🙂
Thanks for the chance to win. Love all the fun celebrations quilts and accessories!
Looks wonderful,the book & the fabric!
The best part of quilting for me is the planning of my next quilt, and picking out the right fabric. It’s the best!
I can”t wait to get my hands on this book! I loved the first book and made quite a few of the receipes in it. Thanks for such a fun hop!
I have to admit that one of my favorite things about quitting is also the fabric/color selection. It so fun to shop for fabric. ‘Tis’ very addictive!
Love your recipe. Maybe a win would motivate me to get sewing. Kind of been in a slump lately…
Can’t wait to get the book – love your daughter’s inspiration!
I’m with you – I love picking out the fabric!
I smiled when I seen the Oatmeal cake recipe. My great-grandma’s most famous cake is her oatmeal cake and is certainly one that you just can’t eat one piece!! Thanks for the the chance to win 🙂
Like you, I also purchased fabric before I touched a sewing machine :D! I still have the apron that I hand-stitched while attempting to follow a pattern, that I started more than a decade ago: pintucks, darting — I don’t know what I was thinking, since I just touched a machine + lessons this past April, and I still haven’t attempted pintucks and darting 😀 !
I am going to try the oatmeal cake recipe. I used to make it with a yummy caramel frosting. I would love to win the giveaway. Thanks for the chance.
Can’t wait for this book. It looks so fun.
I am also a fabric junkie. I just love to look at it all stacked up and pretty. I do use it too, but it’s so fun just to look at the pretty colors!!!
I’m excited for the book. Thanks for the chance to win.
I tried free motion quilting on a quilt I made for my dad this past spring. I think it turned out pretty well. He liked it anyway.
Thanks so much for your blog and the fun it is to hop around. Thanks for the chance to win.
The books looks super interesting! Terrific giveaway!
Looking forward to making Oatmeal Cake and love your blog!

I love your “Love” pillow with the Traditional Chinese letter of Love, very impressive! I’d imagine that it was tricky piecing together all 13 strokes…
Love your post. The paint palette design was great.

I, too, started buying fabric before I even got a working sewing machine! Owning beautiful fabric was a great motivator.
