Moda Designers

One of the perks of the retreat was spending time with 2 of Mada's fabric designers. Kaari Meng is one of the hottest new designers in the industry. We all know her as the French General, which sounds stern and intimidating. She is really a sweetheart, a jeweler by trade a a fabric lover by passion. Her wonderful fabrics are based on her collection of antique french fabrics. Just yummy. She has a new book out, with photo's of her beautiful beads, buttons and notions. We will have it in the shop next week.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Joanna Figueroia, for over 3 years. Her color sense is unlike anyone else I know of. Her creamy, peachy, dreamy look is so warm and inviting, I can hardly stand it. She wants her quilts to look more difficult than they actually are. Finding easy ways to help you accomplish this.

Joanna has added Keepsake Cottage to her list of shops that will be offering her Fig Tree Club! Watch for details coming soon. This is a once a quarter program with exclusive patterns for club members only. I have seen a couple of the Projects she has designed for the past quarters, and if you are a Fig Tree lover, as I am, you will want to jump on this right away

Thanks Kaari and Joanna for all of the wonderful inspiration! J
