In this first week of
The Quilt Show #2112 airing, I've received some wonderful feedback, especially about the Mod Mola technique. Quilters, who have been saving precious hand dyed fabrics, are inspired to create their first Mod Mola!!!

| TQS Mod Mola, Finishes 12" x 12" |
During the episode, I demonstrate the basic Mod Mola technique by creating mini Mod Molas inspired by and made for The Quilt Show. Prior to the taping, I received permission to use the TQS dancing star logo, which was transferred onto contact paper to create mark-free templates.

During the taping, one of the star points is revealed through careful cutwork. With the magic of TV, a finished TQS Mod Mola is then presented. Here is the swatch by swatch reveal of that beautifully glowing dancing star.

In addition to the step outs, I made 3 finished TQS Mod Molas: one each for Alex & Ricky, and one for me to keep as a souvenir of my TQS experience.
Are you ready to give Mod Molas a try?!? I'd love to see a picture (hint-hint).
You are so clever to make TQS stars for the show and very kind to make mementos for Alex and Ricky. Wishing you the best in your new career. I predict you will be very successful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann...I wanted to have a spare sample just in case I needed to go through the demo multiple times. I had planned to give them to Alex & Ricky--so that is why I bound them prior to the cutwork. When I saw Alex at PIQF--she thanked me again for her TQS mod mola!
DeleteCongratulations, Mel! Super show and again, I am so impressed with your creativity and productivity! Clearly, Alex and Tim are as well!
ReplyDeleteAwww...thanks Jackie!! I am still pinching myself as it's been an amazing journey!! I really enjoyed working with Alex, Ricky & the entire TQS crew!!!
