moda designer blog hop

im honoured to be part of the moda designer blog hop this time around...the idea is that each day for 5 days in december, 4 or 5 moda designers will each post a new quilt block pattern and favourite recipe, and heres mine!

making the under over block

framed block on my christmas mantel

introducing the under over quilt block - so called because it reminded me of woven ribbons...the inspiration for it actually came from a paperchase box i bought to carry all the little bits and pieces i made for the moda stand in houston, so rather fitting i thought. (id link to it, but they dont appear to have it in their online shop)

pretty treeeeeee

ive had a lovely weekend clearing the decks then filling them up again with christmasy goodness...and yes, im really anal about doing the christmas tree, red, white, silver, and just an occasion flash of gold.

and after all that hard work, theres nothing nicer than sitting down with a bowl of still-warm up and over pudding with a scoop of ice cream - delicious!

up and over pudding recipe, yum!

UPDATE: for those of you struggling to properly print the recipe and block, right click on each image & download and save to your computer, then print as normal. sorry for the problems!
