Kathy - How much fabric? Designers get 5 yards of each fabric they design. Co-designers get 2.5 yards each. Polly has generously ceded her cotton fabric to me. Polly gets the wool. This box was a little generous. Someone was playing it fast and loose with the yard stick and I am not complaining. It will all get used. Don't quote me on this, but...... some of us, I believe, would work just for that perk alone. After collecting fabric for eons - it never gets better than delivery day. You would think it would get old after awhile. It doesn't. It is usually the WHOLE line of fabric. I am still waiting on one print that was problematic. It finally got figured out and is being printed as I type this. Yeah, more fabric!
You asked about Carrie from "Miss Rosie's" because she gets lots of deliveries too. I don't believe it is contractual. It is basically just great business sense. Moda knows to get their fabric into the hands of great pattern designers. It benefits the pattern designer, the fabric designer (who sees their fabric turned into something marvelous that they never even dreamed of) and Moda. Good quilts are the best advertisement.
As for all the requests for more pictures of the inner sanctum.... How shall I say this?? Ummm.. NO. Not until all of this chaos settles down a bit and I can wade in there with a broom. Until then - how about pictures of the delivery? Here is "Wiscasset". Polly and I named it after a town on the coast of Maine that we have visited. Wiscasset is chock full of great antique shops. We see this collection as a grouping of collected antique textiles from many eras and styles - all coming together to make great quilts and home products. Besides, I like how Wiscasset sounds when you say it.

I want some! Your fabrics are sooo my taste, all of them. I love what you do. I can't wait. I will be buying a bunch!
I am in love. Especially love the blue paisley.
Thanks so much for answering my questions! MODA is very smart! I love the new line and will ask my LQS to get it. It is really beautiful and DS lives in Maine, so, of COURSE, I will have to buy some!
Thanks again for taking the time to satisfy my curiosity about fabric and pattern designers...
Now...one more...do you have ideas for quilts before you design fabrics, or does the fabric come first? Kind of like the chicken or the egg, eh?
Just as I was anticipating, another beautiful new line! This is at the top of my purchase list for Sample Spree in Pittsburg!
I absolutely love it! Can't wait till its available.
The new collection is beautiful. I love it! I can see why you are so excited on delivery day.
Oh, my, that is beautiful!!
Oh I see that this is another one of your lines that I will HAVE to have. I've been to Wiscasset and I think you have captured its essence.
What a great name for your new line. I have been there myself a few times and love the area. Planning a trip up there soon, love to hit the shops.

OMG, love the paisleys, and don't the royal blues just have glow. Dee
All I can say is....YUMMO!!!!
Wiscasset is gorgeous...the fabric, that is. I have never been to Wiscasset, but if this fabric is any indication I hope to go there soon! Beautiful fabric with a lovely name. Thanks for sharing your secrets and your exciting new delivery.
Love that fabric, but then I always love all your lines. Can't wait to order it
LOVELY! Geez...my last two quilts have been made with your lines (Flag Day Farm and American Primer)...and just when I think I'm ready for a change..BAM! New fabs and they are deeee-lish! I love that large scale print! NEEEEEED IT!!!! :o))
I love it! Love, love, love it! And I love that you named the collection after a town you love. I love that! So for those of us on the west side, you know... those of us who pronounce Worchester as Wor-ches-ter... how is Wiscasset pronounced?
Wiscasset is pronounced like this:
Wis = rhymes with miss
Cass = just like Mama Cass
et = it
emphasis on the middle syllable. Thanks for asking.
Laurie
