We at Erica’s wish you and your family a happy and healthy New Year!

We start each new year with our Footbowl Widow’s Sale.  After the ball falls in Times Square to mark the beginning of 2012, our annual  Sale begins!

Save on more than 450 bolts of fabric! Buttons! Patterns! Books! Magazines! We’ve got it! Be sure to check out our sale pages for details. As soon as the clock ticks past Midnight EST on January 1, 2012 the Footbowl Widow’s Sale prices start at 50% off on select items, and progress from there. Our Bargain End of Bolt fabrics will be 50% off instead of 40% off!, be sure to check them out!

If you live in the Michiana area, we invite you to come to our sale from Noon until 3:00pm on Sunday, New Year’s Day, and we’ll start the new year together.

In either case, again, we wish you a Happy New Year.  Thank you for letting us be part of it.

Hi Erica, thanks for running the contest! This is so easy, whenever I enter a quilt or fabric shop, the first thing I am drawn to is Moda! I love their colors and designs, I bet 99 out of 100 fabrics I pick are Moda designs, I love them! The answer to the other questions, company headquarters is in Dallas, TX. One of their designers is Erin Michael. and four of the six pre-cuts are jelly rolls, charm packs, layer cakes and honey buns. Now, to keep my fingers crossed, the prizes look yummy!

“There are many reasons to love Moda, but I guess the main reason for me is that Moda has really been inspiring to my 14 year old daughter.  She is just learning to quilt and really enjoys the pre-cuts Moda offers.  It gives her a nice jump start and helps her confidence build.  She loves the various designers that offer such bright and up-to date colors.”

Enter Our Moda Contest!

Moda is one of the top selling fabric companies in the U.S.  They consistently offer a variety of top quality fabrics in a range of themes, such as Bali, country, modern, and reproduction.  The designers used by Moda always present wonderful styles that flow from one season to the next.  Often the designers become recognizable because they maintain their characteristic style over time.
We have lots of Moda in the store right now including:
Northern Cardinals, a great lodge style winter line;
Reindeer Games, a fun holiday line;
Flurry, a funky holiday group;
Strawberry Fields, a pretty floral;
Little Gatherings, with a reproduction feel;
Terrain, a bright fun group; and many others.

Entering our contest is simple. Just answer a few questions, and we’ll choose 4 lucky winners on Dec 12th!

First, tell us why you love Moda fabrics.  We can think of lots of reasons, but we want to hear from you.
Then we have 3 trivia questions about Moda:
Where are the company headquarters located?
