The full collection of Domestic Bliss by Liz Scott arrived this week. The colors are amazing. A bold palette of Robin’s Egg, Azalea, Eggplant, Red Plum, Teal, Curry, Pink and a splash of Red and Orange in just the right places.
The Goldilocks Principle in action – keep swapping bolts until each fat quarter stack is just right.
A lovely scale for quiltmaking and aprons!

Half Moon Modern is a fresh, new collection of contemporary basics from Moda. It contains some favorite designs from previous MoMo collections (the butterfly silhouettes, scissors, spots and ovals) along with some striking, big, bold, and graphic zig zags and polka dots. The colors are amazing. Moda has definitely filled their ink jars with pumped up, saturated hues. Hip, hip, hooray!
A bit of red and green to celebrate the holidays!

I set my butter on the counter this morning. Tonight’s plan includes Macadamia Nut Chocolate Chip Refrigerator Cookies, my mom’s Thumbprint Cookies, and Mexican Wedding Cakes. What cookies are you making?
Several years ago someone recognized me from my blog in the parking lot at the post office. She was so nice and thanked me for sharing the Macadamia Nut Chocolate Chip cookie recipe. She said they were the best cookies she’s ever made. Shea of Empty Bobbin even tweeted about them the other day which made me smile! They’re great for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

LOL I took butter out, put it on my counter 2 days ago, to make shortbread. Only problem? I haven’t been able to tear myself away from my sewing machine long enough to do anything other than make meals!
Maybe tomorrow
Yum, sounds good! I’ve not made a thing and have no idea what we’re having for dinner. Uh oh!
Wow!Domestical Bliss is just the right colours for my little girls bedroom!
Lots of love from Holland!
My goal is to bake my mom’s Scottish shortbread. I hope to bake tomorrow but I have many things to do. I may not get to it till later this week.
My heart is beating faster with the giant polka dots and oh how I love green! I made Mexican Wedding Rings for my son who just arrived home for the holidays. It’s my grandmother’s very old recipe.
Domestic Bliss colors really look elegant!
I am busy making spritz cookies – love the fabric.
I would love to make an apron with Bliss!!
So very different, but I love both lines!
You know, I’m not doing cookies this year. Almost no one in my husband’s family eats them! I’m going to make a little candy and some spiced nuts and that’s it.
I love polka dots!
Lovely selections this week! Also, a nice chuckle with Ryan on the voting post.
The new collection of Domestic Bliss is amazing!! How will I ever decide which ones to buy… guess I will have to buy them all

Looks like 2012 will be the year of saturated colors, and that makes me very happy! Serious stash shopping coming up.
Happy Holidays!
PS…I just love Mexican Wedding Cakes. If I were making cookies, that would be the one.
I love Domestic Bliss. Now I need to convince someone that they need a quilt out these fabrics so that I can play with them. Cookies and candy today and tomorrow.
Always love to see the new fabric lines and color combinations! I live in a rural area and don’t get to quilt shops often so it’s fun to keep up on line!
Made some easy cookies with my little boys (small “cookie balls” they have to poke with their little fingers… I fill the small holes with marmelade or jelly before baking.) A huge mess and I’m wondering every time why they don’t get sick from “testing” way too much
) Thanks for another chance to win!
I made the dough for sugar cookies last night and will bake them tonight. Snowflakes this year, I think, with pale blue icing.
Loving the look of that Half Moon collection. As for cookies, it’s not really a tradition here, but I’ll be right on the mince pies on Friday afternoon after I get to my mum and dad’s
Love that time for tea print and the lattice and the beaded curtains – fun collection! And the MoMo prints are classics – fun new colors!
Only one Fat Quarter Tuesday left after this one ~
I happened to see Domestic Bliss at my local fabric store (Cool Cottons in Portland, OR) and just love it! I’m on a bit of a ‘no buying fabric till Christmas is over’, so I couldn’t let myself be swayed.
I am in LOVE with every fabric on today’s post! I think I need to do some shopping!!
I love, love love that half moon!! And your red & green photo is so yummy!!
Beautiful fabric collections.
Always enjoy reading your blog. : )
I’m pathetic. I’m doing refrigerator cookies with the grandkids today. But I may try the macademia chocolate chip cookies, the recipe looks delish. Thanks.
Oh, that Domestic Bliss is a fabulous collections. All those gorgeous colours. I’m hoping to make some Cherry Almond Shortbread cookies today. The dough is in the freezer, so just have to wait till it thaws slightly.
Love this fabric, I will be making cut out cookies with my girls on Friday.
The colour combination in these fabrics really pop. I think I will try the macademia nut cookie recipe………..
I’m going to try to convince my mother to make peppermint meranges with me. I have no idea how to spell that word. Also, I’m going to make Linzers with all the excess jam I have.
We will be making Cranberry Orange cookies… they are soft and cake like; I think it is the cream cheese.
LOVE ALL THE COLORS IN THE FABRICS……I STILL HAVEN’T MADE MY MIND UP WHAT FOOD I AM TAKING TO THE FAMILY CHRISTMAS GET TOGETHER, MY SON THINKS I ALWAYS HAVE TO MAKE MY CHOCOLATE CHIP OATMEAL COOKIES NO MATTER (HE IS 30 YEARS OLD & STILL EXPECTS THEM) LOL.
I have to make an appetizer for Saturday night. It’s my job this year to look after the meat, so I was thinking of making little puffs with hamburger and cheese inside. Like mini cheeseburgers, only posh.
Deanna – Your mini cheeseburgers sound yummy!
I’m not sure I’ll be making cookies this year, but I know where to buy some yummy ones
both those fabric ranges are fabulous! I’ve had domestic bliss on my wish list for a while now.
Mince pies are traditional here but I don’t like them so will make some oaty chocolate chip cookies instead.
I love the dots – any dots. Thanks for the giveaway.
I’ll be making the Mexican Wedding Cakes and Snickerdoodles. I love the scissors fabric. Merry Christmas everyone!
Kathy, your eye for fabric is unparalleled! So many gorgeous new things to select from. Thank you for making my daily stop at your website so joyful. Merry Christmas!
I’ve been making chai dark chocolate pistachio bark instead of cookies this year. It is SO delicious!
I’m in <3
fabrics are really fabulous! i’m really in love
Our peanut blossom cookies this year will be attempted with cashew butter now that my FiL is allergic. We love to decorate cookies as a huge family–sugar cookies, molassas, raisin filled cookies, apricot bars and blossoms. I like russian tea cakes–but I have to make those on my own as my family is luke warm about them as well as my grandmas’ seven layer bars with green and red cherrys topped with coconut.
thanks for the giveaway!
Love the colors in both these lines!
Oh, love those bright modern prints!!
Snickerdoodle Cream Cheese White Chocolate Cranberry. Or maybe the order of some of those words are moved around? Either way, they’re awesome.
I’ll be eating buckeyes this year–and oreo balls. At least one of those should count as a cookie!
Love the zig-zag (chevron) print !!! Merry Christmas to you !!!
erin…
I HAVE TO MAKE SNICKERDOODLES AND GINGER SNAPS THAT IS A MUST IN MY HOUSE FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND I ALSO DO NOBAKE CHOCOLATE FUDGE COOKIES. THE FABRICS ARE BEAUTIFUL! MY FAVORITE COLORS ARE GREENS AND ORANGES, AND GUESS WHAT THEY GO GOOD TOGETHER………..
