From a conversation at our office last October:
Moda.
You mean the Moda?
Yep. The one and only.
No way.
Seriously?
Yes, I mean Moda
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't tell you how incredibly surprised and excited we were when we got the news that Moda requested us to design a line of fabric for them. It has definitely been the highlight of our year, and we can't wait for September when Authentic will be available in stores.
Until then, here is a preview of the collection.
And they even did some prints in canvas! My favorite was used in our new pattern, Market Tote.
Okay, so now for the giveaway.
The fabric won't arrive until September, but you could be the lucky winner of a set of fat quarters featuring the Authentic line.
To enter, simply take a look at all of our new patterns on our Etsy site, and let us know your favorite by commenting on this post.
The winner will be announced on Monday. Good Luck!
P.S. Moda just let us know they accepted our second line- it should be out next spring. Yeah. Double Yeah.

Congratulations are certainly in order! How fantastic! My favorite pattern is the Countdown to Christmas Quilt - and the Market bag is great too. I am totally in love with the "word" fabrics. I search for them all the time.
THANK YOU!

Can't wait to make the market tote!

Whoops. Should have checked the date on the posting. Guess someone already got something nice. It was confusing as the contest is under "You Might Also Like". Didn't realize it wasn't current.

Count to 9. I really enjoyed the wonderful graphic designs. This is the first time I have been to your site.

I just got back from a quilting weekend with friends. We shopped and shopped! We also discovered your patterns and fabric line. I have to say, that this fabric line is inspiring and so much fun!
Thanks

I LOVE the twist and turn pattern. I am going to order tonight! Great job on all of the fabrics I can't wait to start sewing. Also downloaded the flower table runner and will order yardage to get that put together.

I LOVE the barefeet pattern but let me just say that seeing the fabrics in person made me nearly hyperventilate. they are fabulous!!! Can't get enough. Guess what makes up my whole Christmas wishlist? Will it still be available in stores for me Secret Santa to add to my growing stash? I bought several yards today. must have more. dreaming about charm packs...

Really like the Courtyard pattern but my favorite has to be the Market Tote!
Posted by: bel | Tuesday, September 29, 2009 at 10:04 PM
Love the fabrics. Thank you for the giveaway.
Posted by: Sue Goodin | Tuesday, August 18, 2009 at 06:45 PM
I love the barefeet only pattern, and the count to nine pattern. I love sudoku, and this would be a a great conversation piece!
Posted by: Alicia Merlino | Tuesday, August 18, 2009 at 07:04 AM
I love the bare feet pattern. Its very fresh and funky and a great showcase for the fabric line.
Posted by: Tracey | Monday, August 17, 2009 at 06:34 PM
I love the Count to 9 pattern. It caught my eye in photos from Market. I think it would be a great quilt for a young child. Think of all the numbers games they could play with that one.
Posted by: Vicky | Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 06:52 AM
My favorite pattern has to be "Bare Feet"!!! I really like the comfort pillows, but feel like they would be too complicated for me, and too fancy/designer-type. Bare Feet is a perfect size for any place in the home, and would give beauty, and comfort to all be it person, place, or things. This pattern along with these wonderful fabrics can only generate feelings of cozy comfort. A quilted rug is like walking on pillows, and this rug is just perfect warming my bare tooties.

I like all the quilt patterns, but Courtyard is probably my favourite. (I'd be very tempted by Count to Nine as a baby quilt, but knowing me I'd drive myself crazy trying to arrange the blocks as my very own sudoku puzzle)
The table runner is a close second, but although I admire them, I've yet to make a table runner :)

Who doesn't love pinwheels. Twist and Turn is a fresh take on the old fashoned pinwheel Quilt, and I love it. Great New Line! Congradulations.

I absolutely love The Simple Table pattern- perfect to make for my sister who is getting married soon!
Posted by: Heather Brooks | Saturday, August 15, 2009 at 07:39 AM
Numbers, its all about the numbers!
Posted by: Jennifer M. | Saturday, August 15, 2009 at 02:48 AM
great fabric, I like the market tote, but i most like to make lap quilts for the couch or the end of the bed. The courtyard quilt is in my future. LOVE THE FABRIC!!!!
Posted by: Janice Berg | Friday, August 14, 2009 at 08:32 PM
The Little Details purse pattern is my favorite. I love purses of all sizes and shapes!

I love the idea of the Bare Feet Only Pattern! So cute!
Posted by: Jenn Jones | Friday, July 10, 2009 at 07:58 AM
Wow--love all of the patterns but especially the courtyard quild. It is stunning in its simplicity and simple color scheme. Just my kind of design.
Posted by: Lisa Fall | Wednesday, July 01, 2009 at 10:34 AM
I really love these fabrics and think the Simple Table pattern would just make my day!
Posted by: Jessica | Tuesday, June 30, 2009 at 11:37 PM

Congratulations on your new line. I owned a scrapbook store for 9 years and was a customer of yours. I love your product and I also quilt. Which a lot of Scrapbookers do. I can't wait to get some of your fabric. I love the 2 quilt patters. And the tote that was made for moda. Good luck with your new line. I love it
Posted by: Jennifer Pluta | Monday, June 08, 2009 at 02:13 PM
Welcome to blogland! It sure looks like you are off to a great start. I love the Pure Comfort pillows. The newsprint fabric is also really wonderful.

Love your upcoming fabrics, and love Moda, too! Your patterns are adorable. The animals, especially Gus, are perfect for my little boy. i also like "Connect the Dots". i've got a thing for circles lately.
Posted by: amy | Saturday, June 06, 2009 at 08:03 PM
As my dd would say, "OMG!!" Sweetwater is going to have fabric! Love that "Littel Details" purse on the Etsy site.
Posted by: Melissa | Saturday, June 06, 2009 at 12:04 PM
I Love them all but would have to say the Market Tote pattern is my favorite. I can't wait to get my hands on this line of fabric. au.then.tic is beautiful!! Job Well Done!! How exciting for you to already have the 2nd line! can't wait for that either!!
Posted by: Nancy Bathen | Saturday, June 06, 2009 at 11:29 AM
I love the market tote pattern and the count to nine quilt pattern. Can't wait til this fabric arrives in the stores.
Posted by: Carol | Saturday, June 06, 2009 at 11:18 AM
CONGRATS!! Moda knows how to find talent! Picking a favorite was hard so I narrowed it down to 2. Bare Feet Only is a beautiful place to put my feet, but Charlie is a cutie!
Posted by: Kristy Z | Friday, June 05, 2009 at 04:03 PM
The Pure Comfort Pillow Pattern is my favorite pattern, but all of your quilt patterns are great too. Just found you blog and have enjoyed reading everything. Thanks.
Posted by: Barbara | Friday, June 05, 2009 at 09:18 AM
My favorite is the Ring Toss. And your line is gorgeous...I am totally adding some to my stash!
Posted by: Amy So | Friday, June 05, 2009 at 08:24 AM
I love your Pure Comfort pillows. I've been looking for cute pillow patterns for weeks, and these are at the top of my list. And I adore your new fabric line. I can't wait to see the next one.
Posted by: Rachel Gainer | Friday, June 05, 2009 at 08:18 AM
I love your fabric line and can't wait to see it in person. My favorite of your patterns is Count to 9.

Thanks!
Posted by: Cynthia | Thursday, June 04, 2009 at 11:59 PM
I really like Courtyard, but I think i would pick Ring Toss as it is different. I have enjoyed visiting your blog and will be back.
Posted by: kerry | Thursday, June 04, 2009 at 10:42 PM
Your new blog and your new line of fabric are awesome. My favorite pattern in your etsy shop is the Count To Nine Quilt pattern.

I like the Bloom pattern best!
Posted by: YTS Mom | Thursday, June 04, 2009 at 08:34 PM
Love the quilt with the numbers on it. Excellent for a young child or math major!
Posted by: Cathy McMann | Thursday, June 04, 2009 at 08:23 PM
Well I love the Market Tote pattern, absolutely. And I would make it just like that, only with some teal blue piping/trim...and I can not wait to use some of these graphics on the back of my quilts. What a sweet surprise that will be when one turns it over.
Good luck with all you do.

Congrats, congrats, congrats! I melted when I saw the Authentic line's colors & patterns. I love the ruffle on the pure comfort pillow. It's my favorite. With the Little Details Bag pattern I could make a different one for each day of the week. Fun!
