Have you ever had one of those sewing days when you just wanted to throw the entire project across the room right into the trash? Well, I had one of those days with a Christmas tree skirt that I was working on. I cut an entire section wrong. When I looked at the pattern , I realized that I wouldn't have enough fabric for the project because I had not followed the directions in cutting the section. For this project, I'm using an older fabric line from Moda, Maison de Noel. I put the project aside, and out of sight. Every once in a while, I would find myself thinking about this project. I hate wasting fabric especially fabric that I love. I thought about using the strips and making a string quilt. I thought about making another Strawberry Pie from my friend Pat at Silver Thimble Quilt Company. The problem is that I don't like to give up on a project.
This weekend, I took it out again. I assessed the fabric situation. How much did I need? Of which fabrics from the eight in the tree skirt would I need more ? I searched www.quilshops.com, Ebay, and Google. I found 4 of the fabrics that I needed at two online shops. I really needed only about 1/2 yard of each. I still need the holly fabric pictured on this post. I can get it on Ebay, but would cost about $10.00 for half a yard.
Would you my online friends, please check your stash. Does anyone have half a yard of this holly fabric from the Maison de Noel line by Moda that you would sell, trade, or barter for? I know someone has to have a piece in their stash.
Thanks so much for looking!

mdI thought I had some but after going through piles!!! of fabric on the floor :( I have this fabric in the green background. I was hoping I could help you.
Hi Becky,
I bought that fabric and made my tree skirt from it. I will check my stash and let you know how much i have. I also had to buy more because I miss cut some strips.
Becky-the moda fabric line is called ZaZa and it is oh so pretty! i have spent the evening cutting out the baby quilt-tomorrow I will be able to start putting it together.
Oh, I so wish I had some, I would just give it to you! Good luck in your hunt.
Hi Becky,
Just got home from the Macon show and read your plea for Maison de Noel. I think I have some of this in my personal stash (?!?!); I know I don't still have any at the shop though.
I'll check the stash closet tomorrow and will let you know.

I found some by going through Quiltshops.com

This Aussie shop has lots of Maison de Noel: http://www.honeysucklecottage.com.au/shop/index.php?cPath=59_11_244_253 I ordered a couple of patterns and they got here (Maryland) in less than a week! The woman who owns the shop is very nice and very helpful.
I have a quilt kit of Maison de Noel in a red bucket with the pattern. Are you still looking. I realize it was several years ago, but thought I'd ask.
