As part of Moda's Blog Hop and Hometown Visits Event, today I'm talking about my home town and my new fabric collection, Mod-Century by Moda: I live in a town called Bedford, New Hampshire. My husband and I moved here four years ago when we found our dream home after years of searching. We had originally focused our search in Massachusetts, but after two years of not finding the right place at the right price, we expanded our search to southern NH and bingo! The house was hidden behind massive bushes that had grown out of control over the years, but the beautiful mid-century architectural elements were unforgettable. A month later we were homeowners! I've been having fun decorating the house since we moved in - and blogging about the process.
We have been here for a while, and I've since learned that comedian Sarah Silverman grew up here, as did SNL alumnus Seth Meyers. Adam Sandler grew up one town over, in Manchester, NH.
Also we are lucky to have a great little quilting shop near the Bedford Town Hall called The Quilt Patch, where quilters can buy supplies and take quilting and sewing classes.
Which brings us to the good stuff: As part of the Moda Blog Hop and Hometown Visits Event, I'm giving away a bundle of fabric from my new Mod-Century collection! To enter, just leave a comment with your name under this blog post. That's it! I will announce the winners on September 15th at 11:00AM EST, so you don't have much time... Enter now!
To whet your appetite for these new fabrics, check out this block pattern I received from Moda: View it here.

Love your fabric line. It reminds me of the Jetsons. +smile+
It brings a smile to my face. Thanks for the tour!
I think it's so funny that "mid-century" is now the description for 50's, 60's and 70's decor/architecture. It brings up images of shag carpet and copper colored refridgerators. And paper tent dresses- and Twiggy. Well, anyway. It's okay to have lived through this once. I'm glad folks are enjoying reliving that era-- talk about trendy-- There's no mistaking how things looked back then. BUT- the best thing is - there's more quilting fabrics to choose from now that are reallly great- like yours! Thank you.
Great Fabric! Great Block! Thank you for the chance to win the giveaway.
