A Journey Back to Flowerland
As a designer and a quilter, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of bringing an idea to life through fabric and stitches. My Modern Moths quilt is a testament to that joy. I made this quilt with the Flowerland fabric collection, designed by Melody Miller for Ruby Star Society / Moda Fabrics. I love the lightness and brightness this fabric collection adds to the quilt. The foundation paper pieced (FPP) pattern allowed me to create the delicate and mesmerizing moths that create a beautiful star in the negative space.

A Heartwarming Modern Moths Quilt Finish
Quilting is more than just a creative outlet; it’s a means of healing and remembering. Recently, Debbie K, sent me a touching story and photos of her latest quilt. As Debbie was working on her Modern Moths, she had to say goodbye to her dog Annie, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Annie always hung out with Debbie in her sewing space. In her words, Modern Moths was the final quilt they worked on “together”. With Debbie’s permission, I”m sharing her quilt and label. She considers the quilt as a tribute to Annie and hopes to inspire others on ways to personalize special quilts.
