It is not surprising that Angela, a busy wife and mother, is so talented with color and design.

“Since I was young, I was influenced by many talented people. Growing up I was raised in both a technical and creative atmosphere.While my mother taught me how to sew and encouraged all things arts and crafts-related, my father owned a computer business and taught me how to be independent and figure things out on my own.  My grandmothers and greats were also a constant influence with their own special talents of knitting, sewing, quilting and art.  I have always enjoyed  drawing, painting and designing, but it was not until I had my own children that inspired me to find my way back into the sewing room to discover my own style

On the technical side, I work full-time as a web developer for Moda Fabrics. On the creative side, I have my own design company as an outlet to be able to share my designs through books, patterns, and tutorials.”

Angela is also the author of Stop. Go. Quilt. Sew! published by Stash Books and a contributor to Modern BlocksFresh Fabric Treats, and Sweet Celebrations with the Moda Bake Shop Chefs.

  6. I loved playing house or shop with my younger sister! We would set it all up in lots of detail and play for hours. Another one was planning and performing a “concert” for our mom (or anyone else who might have been there) – all together with “stage lights” (aka table lamp on the floor, turned up 🙂 ).

  7. Jacks and Old Maid were my favorite games. Can’t decide which I like the best. Bit I do know I like those pretty threads.

  11. I loved playing all of the outdoor games, jumprope, roller skating, etc. But some of my favorites were when my sister and I built a fort out of sheets on our front porch and the games we played late at night when we went to bed! We had twin beds in our room and we used to play that we were on a raft that got split, we would hold hands until we “floated” to far apart-then one of us would swim to the other “raft” were we would try to survive together! LOL

  12. When the weather permitted we played an invented game called handy over during the day and ditch when the sun went down. Indoors we played cards. A neighbor and I played canasta regularly and other neighbors were always around to watch. Ah the good ol days! The fabric is beautiful but the best part is the addition of Aurifil thread. Great giveaway!

  13. My favorite childhood game was ‘Cat’s cradle’ I would sit for hours either on my own or with my friends figuring out new ways to play! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!

  15. Beautiful thread colors and fabric! My favorite game was Kick the Can. The neighborhood kids would play this every night during the summer. Those were some of the best childhood memories. Thanks for the chance to win.

  16. My favorite game was one we (my twin sister, little brother, and 2 favorite cousins) made up when we were out our grandpa’s house – The Pirate Game. Our grandpa’s house had 3 outside porches which became our pirate ships. Imaginations we had!

  17. Mine was hide and seek. But there were times when I’d end up being so bored of having to quietly stay put in one place that I would deliberately give my position away :-/

  18. I loved playing jackstones, My friends and I spent hours and hours and hours playing! Thanks for the chance to win!

  19. I love games of any kind and seeing this fabric line took me back a few years! Would love to win it and the Aurifil thread to match!!

  21. I loved my roller skates and when it rained I was allowed to skate around the basement – as long as I promised to duck whenever I came to any heating ducts!

  22. When the cousins would get together we would play “red rover”. But when home and hanging out with the neighbors we always made time to play canasta when it was too hot to be outside and running.

  23. We played Hide and Seek, and now my granddaughter is wanting to play all the time.
    I guess we never really grow up

  24. What’s wonderful giveaway! It would be wonderful to have the perfect thread to se with the gorgeous fabric! My favorite game was marbles on the school playground…in the days when school grounds were not paved.

  25. When I was a kid my favorite game was hide and seek, but I really loved it when we went to my grandparents house in Kentucky and played the game. I would go to the tobacco barn and climb all the way to the top of the barn and hide between the tobacco stalks that were hanging there. No one could see me and I won. I would love to win this collection. Good luck eveyone.

  26. I read alot in the apple tree, or by the creek, but I did love to play hop scotch on the front stoop. (When not playing trucks with my brother.)

  27. We use to get a group of kids together and play hide& go seek.We would hide under porches ,behind bushes anywherewe kids cannot seem to do in the subdivision they live in now in the city.Lots of Fun.

  28. I loved playing Hide and Seek as a child. It was always fun trying to think of a place no one had hidden before. One time my brother hid in the clothes hamper and we like to never found him! 🙂

    scotty4me39 (at) yahoo (dot) com

  29. My favorite game was Canasta but my favorite pastime was reading.During my “second childhood” I learned to quilt but I still love playing Canasta and reading.

  30. I loved playing with my baby dolls and dressing them up in the new clothes my mother made for my Christmas presents. I had four brothers and if I played with them it was army or cowboys and Indians. That never worked out in my favor. LOL

  31. My favorite outdoor games were hop scotch, hide and seek and double dutch jump rope. Indoors was playing rummy with my mom and sister. For some reason the game just isn’t the same without mom.

  32. Childhood memories of jacks, paper dolls, checkers, monopoly and cribbage. It is so much fun to create quilts for young people with eye catching colors and patterns that can cretan a conversation either with parents or grandparents

  33. I would have to say building forts out of sofa cushions and blankets was a favorite activity of mine 🙂

  34. I read and sewed as a kid, but when mom threw us out of the house, we would play red rover and hide and seek, if not get on our bikes and ride to the library and a treat at the ice cream shop that was not too far away!

  35. We lived at the end of the street with a street light in front of our house which was the perfect “base” for tag – we would play for hours with plenty of hiding spots and space to run. We also had the perfect yard as our lawn and the neighbors lawn made for a big area for us to play all kinds of games – red rover, dodge ball, etc.

  36. I used to play “The Price Is Right” with my friends at our porch, which had a chicken wire netting (I think) on it to which I attached the cardboard letters by using clothespins. We liked to build tents, play dodge ball, and roller skate with those clamp-on skates! trilliumcreates AT gmail DOT com

  37. I think the favorite game was pick up baseball on a corner lot. The bad part was that we didn’t learn until we were in Jr High not to throw the bat after a hit. Very few of us walked away from that childhood game without a scar above our eye….I’m still filling in my eyebrow where my scar sits

  38. What a wonderful giveaway! My favourite childhood game was playing Gin with my dad.

    chocolatechippers at gmail dot com

  39. My siblings and I played pretend store all the time. My brother had a collection of bottle caps that we used for money, and all sorts of things were the merchandise – quite often his baseball glove became a ham at the “grocery store.”

  40. Great giveaway!! I loved playing with my sisters and cousins with dolls and dressing them up!!!

  41. What a fabulous giveaway! There were lots of favorite childhood games, some of my favorites were capture the flag and the card game “speed”.

  42. I would play with the neighborhood kids in an old school bus that one of the parents bought and put on the back of their property. We had so much fun pretending all different kind of situations. One neighbor had chickens so we were given some of the “cracked” eggs and pretended to be cooking all kinds of things.

  43. I loved building forts in the forest with my brothers. Building would keep us busy and out of mom” hair. Starting point for me becoming a passionate homemaker.

  44. Kickball was my favorite childhood game. We played outdoors every chance we got. When we didn’t go outside, our Daddy took a lot of time to teach us how to play card games and board games. We had the best childhoods ever!

  45. I loved playing with Betsy McCall paper dolls that I got out of my Grandmother’s McCall’s magazines and with sewing cards. I know saying this is REALLY dating myself! Love this giveaway & Aurifil & Moda…thanks for a great giveaway!
    NTZASQRL2(at)msn(dot)com

  46. Hard to say what was a favorite since there were so many fun things to do! Ball with the neighbor kids, bike riding with my sister & brothers or cards with grandma when she visited. Then there’s always the times I was allowed to use mom’s sewing machine to make doll clothes! (and later clothes for me) Rules were simple–be careful around the needle, ask for help when needed and clean up your mess when done.

  47. My Favorite childhood game had to be playing imagine with my friends. Where we would run around imagining we where different people or on different planets or in our favorite cartoon shows. I loved being able to do that with my friends and not be the damsel in distress but the knight going to slay what ever evil dooer we imagined.

  48. Is playing in the sprinkler a game??? I am from SoCal and often we turned on the rprinkler in the backyard and played for hours. Running Jumping and laughing in the sunshine….Those were the days 🙂

Thanks for the giveaway!

  55. 1-2-3 Red Light. Neighborhood kids would line up and race to a finish line. The leader would hide their eyes and then yell 1-2-3 red light. Anyone still moving was out. Whoever got there first won. No prize -just fun. Equipment needed- none. Fun had – lots!!!

  72. I come from a family of 6, 3 girls first and then 3 little brothers. We used to play Partridge family, with fake musical instruments for our band.

  75. My sister and I used to love to play Monopoly but it is not very fun with only two people. We would pay my older brother a quarter to play with us. After a bit, he would be so obnoxious that we would quit and he would happily walk away with our quarter in his pocket 🙁

  76. Thank you for the giveaway! My favorite game was Ghost in the Graveyard (night tag) with the neighborhood kids! Since we lived in the country there was plenty of space to play, and no streetlights made it especially dark!

    Olivia.hascher (at) yahoo (dot) com

  77. When I was little there were many other children in the neighborhood & we played outside for hours. We played kickball & four square but my favorite was Ghosts In The Graveyard. It was a hide & seek game where the “hiders” would try to make it back to home base before they were tagged by the “seeker”.

  78. For a board game, I always liked to play Sorry. Outside, I loved playing hopscotch, which as an adult, it is not too easy!

  84. My favorite childhood game was what we liked to call “Queenie Rides”. 2 Children would make a type of chair by linking their arms and then a third would sit on their arms and be carried around the room while waving. Sounds boring but it often turned into a rolling pile of kids that kept dropping someone because they were laughing so hard. Good Memories 🙂

But roller skating was probably my all time favorite! Not the cool in-line roller-blades they have now…the old kind that you clamped onto your hard soled shoes using a little key you wore on a string around your neck!! Yes! I’m older than dirt!! LOL!!

    I haven’t thought about this for a long time ~ thanks for the memory!

  91. We had a pony that was broke to pull a cart, Applecart was difficult to catch. Our favorite game was hiding the rope and luring him in. First one to catch him got to drive first. It sure pays to sneek treats to the ornery one! I’m pretty good at harnessing up and driving!

  100. My favorite childhood game was always my own version of hide and seek–my twist was that I’d hide from the other children while they played together. 🙂 Some of my best memories are sitting up high in a tree watching the other kids play below me while I worked on my own project. Usually crochet or needlework.

  109. My favorite activity was playing with fashion dolls. Mom taught me to sew for them at the age of 5, & she taught me to make furniture & such from odd stuff around the house.

  120. Reading some of the comments brought back so many memories. My very first thought was to say “Operation”. I wanted to be a nurse when I grew up. But after reading some of the older games, I remember playing “Button, Button” at my Grandmother’s house. I don’t know if we actually played it correctly. But she always had that big tin of buttons, and we would hide them all over the house, and then tried to find them all again. 🙂 Happy memories! angie@maqs.net

  136. When I was a child as a family we didn’t have many toys, but thee were plenty of children. We did have a large rock behind our house and we were always playing ” King of the “Mountain”. My older brother was ussually the king, but we all had fun.

  137. Summer night’s on my neighborhood were spent playing nightgames, olli-olli oxen free was my favorite (basically hide-n-seek). I miss care free summer night’s.

  138. I loved playing kick the can with the neighborhood kids during the summer. But when we had to stay inside, dad taught us to plan poker and 500 rummy. I still have some fancy shuffling skills that impress my husband today. : )

  139. i LOVED playing Monopoly with my 5 siblings. Since I was the oldest i tended to win more. Hmmm maybe that was why i liked it. PS I LOVE your fabric.

  140. My brother and I used to play a game we called make me laugh. It’s pretty self explanatory. We had to make each other laugh. To this day, no one cracks me up quite like my brother.

  141. tag football (I know, not a typical girl game) with the brothers.
    this fabric is great. . . Thanks for the giveaway opportunity~

  142. My favorite outdoor game was Hode & Seek. Favorite board game was Monopoly. My favorite thread is Aurifil :-)). Thanks for the giveaway .

  143. We played lots of games as a family. Cards, board games, riddles, out door games … lots. We turned almost everything into a game. Risk, Rack-o, Stock Ticker, Hearts, War, Snap, Old Maid, Memory were all favourites.

  144. I loved kick the can in the summer time. It was always fun with all the kids in the neighborhood! Thank you for sharing our beautiful fabrics and threads!

  145. I think my favourite childhood game was “elastics”, it was played a lot in primary schools in NZ in the ’70’s and was the only physical game I was good at. I could even do “necksies” which was when the big long loop of elastic was held at neck height (and width) and you had to jump high enough to get over one side, to the middle then over the other side; great fun!

  146. Growing up, I lived in a huge development that bordered a wooded area and a lake. And there were tons of kids. Playing outside was mandatory. Kickball; red light, green light; softball; street hockey; ring-a-lareo; and a complicated game of hide-and-seek that was done by teams. My all-time favorite was the team play of hide-and seek! What lovely memories!

  147. My favorite games were the ones we played outdoors: Mr. Wolf, Skipping, Double Dutch, Marbles, Frozen Tag, Statue Museum, Kick the Can, Hide and Seek…. oh my gosh… there were a bunch more… sigh… what great memories 🙂

  148. I loved building forts out of hay or sticks in the woods. My favorite board game was Monopoly and my grandma and I would play for hours. Wonderful giveaway!

  149. Whoohoo!.. my absolute fave game was hide n seek. The reason why is we lived in a trailer park and we would have so many kids playing. We’d play after dark……back when kids would stay out till the street lights came on. 🙂

  150. My sister and I got a game for Christmas one year, Pig Pong. It was a game of volleyball/ping pong that had a light “ball” and pigs that you squeezed to blow the ball over the net. I have many memories playing that game–with my cat curiously watching.

  151. When I was a child in the 60’s, we played tons of games out in the front yard of our house and all the houses of the neighbors. It was not unusual to have 8 or 10 kids playing until our moms called us in to dinner. Hide n seek was a common game, along with all kinds of tag games (freeze tag, cartoon tag), but my favorite was called Trails of 49.

  152. I loved playing “Hide ‘n’ Seek” out at the lake where it was soooo dark at night. It’s a miracle that we didn’t break ourselves falling over and running into things! In our teen years, we played cards nearly every night – it didn’t matter what we were playing as long as the bunch of us were together hanging out.

  153. My brother and I were into all kinds of board games. Monopoly with my Dad if we were a glutton for punishment, but I also liked “Mousetrap”. Thanks for the giveaway! FLATS looks like a great collection!

  154. It’s amazing how a question like that can bring back so many memories. We made up a game using marbles, a hula hoop, and a broom. My girlfriend and I are in our mid 50’s and we still talk about how much fun we had. It’s amazing what you can think of without the use of technology. plajaunie49@hotmail.com

  155. Red Rover was one of my favorite games at school. When I was a child we played outside all of the time and made of lots of games. Love the fabric!!!

  159. I enjoyed playing hide-n-go-seek outdoors and my Dad taught me how to play gin rummy card game, I felt like such a grown-up. Beautiful fabric and thread! Thanks for the giveaway. Hartwicks4 (at) metrocast (dot) net

  160. My favorite game was Four Square out front of our house. Whenever the family gets together we love having a game I’ve it ….not sure how much longer wel’ll be able to since some of us are in our 60’s now!

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  161. We played lots and lots of kick the can. All the neighborhood kids would gather and play til the sun went down. We also played lots of Fish. Thanks.

  162. We made up an outdoor game when we were young and named it ‘Aha! Spies!’. It consisted of running from one pre-arranged base to another after aha! Spies! was called out. If you were tagged, you were it and everyone started over at base one. Man those days were the best!

  163. My favorite childhood game was Hop Scotch! Oh, and Clue.. Oh and stoop ball… Oh and barbies… Ah! I loved all my childhood games. Well, except Dodge-ball. ouch.

  164. i was never allowed to play with kids, especially games. i dont even know at age 63, how hopscotch was played or jacks. I had a strict mom.

  165. So many different games I loved…jacks, hopscotch, capture the flag. Inside games were parcheesi and monopoly. Summertime was spent swimming and play playing Marco Polo in the pool. Love the fabrics, like paper dolls

  166. Growing up recess always included tether ball! I remember learning the game and strategies used! So much fun. Can we go back to that simpler time? Well maybe in my dreams.

  167. Hide & Seek was my favorite because I would climb trees & nobody could find me! My boys, on the other hand, didn’t quite get the rules & would jump out & scare me to death! lol

  168. My favorite childhood game was Hide and Seek. We’d get the whole nieghborhood to play, backyards and front yards it would go on for hours. ;->

  169. I loved played night games every summer with all the neighborhood kids. We did Kick the Can, Jailbreak, Sardines and lots of others. Thanks for the chance to win!

  170. Thanks for the opportunity to win the new Moda fabric and the wonderful Aurifil thread. Favorite childhood game was probably Jacks.

  171. My goodness! One favorite game? I’d have to chose Red Rover, or Jacks, or night tag, or hide the button, or dominoes with my granddad. Such a blessing to have had such a wonderful childhood. The Flats bundle is so happy! Thank you!

  172. I used to love to play flashlight tag outside on warm summer night. Love the new line. Thanks for the chance to win!

  173. My favorite childhood game was jacks. My mother used to play with me, It’s so sad that I can’t get the plain rubber type ball that we used to use. The jacks now come with a superball type ball and it makes the game harder to play. I also liked pick up sticks!

  174. It is so hard to choose. I loved hide-and-go-seek in the dark with the neighborhood kids. Jacks with the girls and designing my own paper doll for single play.
