Moda Fabrics | If These Threads Could Talk

Pollinators by Robin Pickens for Moda Fabrics is absolutely beautiful and will be in shops in December 2026.

I cut my strips 3.25″ yielding a 5″ finished hexie. I love my Studio180 Design First Choice Rulers for cutting the equilateral triangles, it is fast and accurate. I cut diamonds for 5″ Star 60 units that make 10″ stars to add to my garden.

The bees are a buzzing in the garden created for them! I added 5″ and 10″ Hollow Cube 60’s made with my Star 60 Tool and Hollow Cube 60 Technique Sheet. I think they look like Bee Hives.

Pollinators measures 74″ x 73″. I used my Nine Acres Quilt Batting – Autumn Mid Weight for the first time and Really like it! I love how light it is and it didn’t stretch out of shape.

Be sure to check out Terri Butler as she creates the OBW Jacket from the same Pollinator fabric on our joint Facebook page Mama Said these Threads Could Talk .

April 2026 was one long roadtrip!

I started out at the New England Quilt Expo in Manchester New Hampshire. I was invited there By Bits “N” Pieces Quilt Shop to be the keynote speaker and teach a One Block Wonder workshop. And what a great workshop it was. I can’t wait to see their finished OBW’s!

I was home a week and then off to teach at AQS Paducah. What an honor to be invited to teach there. I taught 4 classes and gave a trunk show! Studio 180 Design Certified Instructors have a tendency to run in packs. I was with Lynn Wheatly, Terri Butler, Barb Wisemaan, Carol Coniglio and Toni Raynolds.

A week after that Barb and I headed out for H&H Americas in Chicago but stopped along the way to check out the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland Ohio. All I can say is WOWZA!
