{Giveaway is now closed. Winner will be announced 19th October 2012 on this site}
Today is my turn on the blog hop to tell you about the new Moda Bake Shop book – Sweet Celebrations. It will be available in stores soon but you can pre-order from Amazon now.
I was absolutely wrapped when I was asked to submit three projects for the book. It has been an exciting and interesting journey for me which I can now share with you and tell you about the book (or well, just enough to wet your appetite).
I had the privilege to work with a bunch of talented chefs who have designed the most beautiful quilts, home decor and fun projects for every celebration on the calendar.
As part of the blog hop I will be sharing with you my favourite recipe for a Fathers Day celebration. In our house it usually starts with the full cooked breakfast on the BBQ followed by a relaxing day. While dad is lounging on the sofa, wrapped up in his favourite quilt, he will be munching on Roasted Pistachio and Ginger Slice. The Ginger in the recipe is grown locally in Yandina, 100kms north of where I live.
Download the recipe here and collect all the recipes along the way to keep with the book.
Also as part of the blog hop, Moda have sent us some questions to answer so you get to know us better. I am hoping to meet many of you at Market and say hello.
1. Do you prefer to celebrate with cupcakes, cake pops or just plain old cake?
I have no idea what a cake pop is but we usually have some sort of cake made traditionally or from biscuits stacked and glued together with melted chocolate.

| The Tim Tam Cake |
2. What is your favourite part of quilting – fabric selection, piecing, quilting , binding and why?
I love it all (I lie, binding can be tedious). I love selecting the fabrics, cutting, stitching,pressing my seams open (ooh ahh!) and seeing a quilt come together. I get excited about the quilting design and thread I am going to use to complete the quilt. It is so rewarding to place the last stitch in the binding, scrutinise the quilt to find every last loose thread and give it to someone you love. I am having fun at the moment learning how to photograph quilts.
3. Do your pets/kids/spouse help or hinder your creative process?
My gorgeous kids are always in my quilt room chatting away or playing with toys. They have no interest in what I do, being boys but I know they appreciate what I make as they are always snuggled under my quilts. My husband in his own words, “I just don’t get quilts and quilting”. That makes me laugh. My dog stays with me all day when I work and when he wants to play he brings the ball and hides it in the fabric piles or nudges the quilt I am working on as if to say, “what about me”. I guess, they all inspire and assist me in the creative process even if quilting is not their ‘Thing’.
4. What have you gained from the on-line quilting world.
I have gained so much inspiration and support from the world wide quilting community. I have made so many lovely friends who continually teach me new techniques and tricks and encourage me to keep on doing what I love the most (after being a mother etc) – quilting. I really enjoy all the blog hops and bees I have been invited to participate in.
5. When you picture Oda May, what does she look like?
I know she looks nothing like this but Dame Edna pops into my mind. A wise, stylish woman with a wicked sense of humour, a killer pair of glasses and a master of the needle and thread.

I follow your blog. Can't wait to see this book!
If I were to choose a pen name I would use my paternal grandfather's family name before it was Americanized, so I would be Maria Castelluccio.

I'm a follower. Loved your answers!

I'm following you here on your blog. Interesting about the cake. I've always been in awe of those that can write novels, what a wonderful talent. But a pen name for me?

I am indeed a follower of your blog! Hmmmm, a pen name? Perhaps I would use Stashella Fabriqua. Thanks so much for a chance at the give-away!

If I had a pen name it might be Hermione Withershins. But that might scare people off, so I'd go with my real first name and my maiden name, Jean Parker. Short and sweet.
I've started following your blog just recently and am happy to read you!
I became a follower. I guess I would be Ruby Red since that is my favorite color & I live on Ruby St.

My pen name would be Kay K Pilgrim. It's from a childhood memory…
I would pick Jandy, it already works for me. Looking forward to the book and I do follow you!!
I just started following your blog. I was able to visit Australia three years ago and absolutely loved it! The only part of Brisbane that I saw was the airport, however. 🙁 Hmmm, pen name? First name would be Jessalyn, just because I like the name, but I don't know about the last name. Maybe something simple like Carter or Harris. Good thing I don't see myself becoming an author!
If I wrote a book, I'd be "Anonymous" because I'm never been a very good writer. There are a lot of things that I'm very good at but writing was never one of them!
Hi, I'm a new follower by email. Hmmmm..never thought about this, but maybe I would choose to be Agatha Austin (in honor of Agatha Christie and Jane Austin?)!

I'm horrible at naming things so I will have to come back for another entry if something hits me later my pen name.
Following your blog – had to laugh about boys, husbands and quilts. My husband always asks – which door is that rug going by? – it's a quilt dear! I have three (now grown) boys and they like to have a "Mom-made" quilt but really don't get why I love making them so much. Pen name – just the initials KKJ – not my real initials, just like the look and sound.
Enjoyed your post! Thanks for the recipe and giveaway. I had never thought about a pen name…maybe Casandra Irving. Where did that come from?! Hilarious!
I'm a follower – thanks for the giveaway.

I have never thought of a Pen name (my Dad has one…). I used to call myself Karen Quiter when I was a kid and we played FBI agents or Cop or other games where you needed a secret identity (my brother drew us up official papers and passports to match too.) Rose Creations is the name of my blog. So something with Rose in it, as it is also my middle name. Possible Karen Rose Quilter (See what I did there?) Hahaha.
that Kasuri fabric is fab!!! I follow your blog 🙂
my writers name would be Mrs Darcy becuase my favorite character (by Jane Austen) is Elizabeth Bennet/Mrs Darcy 🙂

My pen name would be "MomoZelda" My mother almost named me Zelda (I know) lucky me but she didn't and when my youngest daughter found out, being the smarty pants she is (she is 26 now), she started calling me MomoZelda for fun and it stuck or at least "Momo" did. It was fun.
Thank you
sandyb720 at gmail dot com

I thought I stalked you everywhere, but I just realized that I had missed FB. No worries. I'm stalking you there now, too. *evil grin* I think Charles Dickens always had the best names for his characters, so I would like my pen name to be Dickensesque. Hmmmm. How 'bout Tess Spoolhardy?
Thanks for the chance, m'dear! I sure would love to snag a copy of this great book!

Love your blog, I will be following. You have a great sence of humor.
Your boys are such cuties, I have 2 adult sons , they don't get the quilting thing either, It could be because both ot their "old bedrooms" are loaded with fabric, threads, and notions… My husband tolerates it because he is the one who got me back into sewing years ago, and I made him a quilt for our 25th aniversary..
Can't wait to make your recipe, sounds awesome. I've never hear of vanilla wine biscuits, are they similar to vanilla cookies or a shortbread cookie?? I love the layer cake your adding to the fun and I can't wait to see the book.
