Congrats on becoming a cover girl! :) And btw, totally got the Friends reference in the post title.
Your posts are always so special. I can't imagine the feeling of being a "Cover Girl". I am also a Modaholic! I visit the website every day just in case I missed the announcement of something new.
Congratulations on the book, the baby, and a terrific website.
Congratulations on being the cover girl. Can't wait for the book to be out. I with you Moda Fabric is the best!!!
Love the quilt on the cover!! Love Kate Spain Fabric. I love the Fandgo pattern. I am making a quilt for a senior this year as her graduation present.... Wish the book came out sooner so I could make the one on the cover.. Hey what is your dish... How do you make your sweet tea???
Congratulations Covergirl!
I don't comment often, but always read your blog - I love your sense of humor AND your Friends references :)
maybe, this comment will lead to The One Where Abby Finally Wins a Prize! ;)
Well, I love stars, I love maverick stars, and I love Fandango. Goodness, what an excellent combo. LOVE your quilt! Congratulations, cover girl! You da bomb!
Girl...your sweet tea rocks! What else would any self-respecting Southern girl serve her guests? Everytime I have a get-together I serve, sweet tea, sweet tea, & more sweet tea! Excuse me while I wet my whistle with some more! & your quilt looks so pretty on the front cover of the book!
Now you know how Cindy Crawford feels like! :D Congrats on the cover shot. OH and your baby is so cute! (as I'm typing this I'm looking at her picture. :)
Wow! You must feel just wonderful! Congratulations!
I've wondered about that cover quilt, so thanks for spilling the beans! Your Vintage Ribbons Table Runner is one of my very favorite MBS projects, thank you for sharing it!
OMG! That is so cool that you're on the cover! :-) Congrats on the book!
Congratulations not only on being published but on the honor of being on the cover. Gorgeous quilt, by the way. I'm a newbie quilter so I follow you and several of the other authors and I could sure use some of those precuts because my inspiration file is full to the brim! I must have a copy of the book too:>)
Wow Rachel, that is so super awesome! And thanks for the dinner invitation! I've been waiting a long time to be invited to your house for dinner, sweet tea and all! I say forget the real food and let's get right to that yummy dessert...the book with your quilt on the cover! I'm surprised you only had to take two breathing breaks! That is too exciting! I'm going to get me one of those books because like you, I have become a Modaholic! It's good stuff! now go enjoy your dinner party. I'll just sit here with my tea and catch up with you later, perhaps around a postage stamp quilt! :)
MGM
A cover girl, how very exciting that is. You deserve it. Congrats.

Oh my ... sweet tea. I am a northern girl moved south and I am still working on developing a taste for sweet tea, and boy do they make it sweet, and it is served everywhere! Mexican restaurants, bakeries ... you name it!
Have a great week!!!
Sincerely, Trish
this looks great! I can't wait to see more of your quilt. CONGRATS!
Wow - I never knew a cover girl before. My whole life is probably going through one of those change thingies right now just because of saying that. Congrats on the book and recognition of all your work - you deserve it.
Hugs - Marie

Congratulations on being on the cover of this great new book. I can't wait to see it in person! I also love Moda fabrics. Keep up the great work - I enjoy your designs.
Congratulations, Rachel. That would be a dream come true for me too, but I don't see it happening! Enjoy the success and I hope you have a followup book. Hey, what about a recipe?

What a beautiful book, beautiful quilts and wonderful fabric! Congrats
Oh wow! That is your delicious quilt on the cover? Congratulations!

You are sooo cool. You were cool before cool was cool. I am ordering that book but I want a signed copy!
Congratulations on being a cover girl!!! I am a beginning quilter and love coming to your blog for inspiration. I am off to the kitchen to make some sweet tea and to send you a toast from this southern girl!
Congrats on being a cover girl! Keep that paper bag handy because I imagine this will only lead to bigger and better honors. But you're a momma of four, so you should be able to take on anything the quilty world throws at you. Thanks for a chance to win the book, too!
I love your quilt! Congratulations on the book. I am excited to have found your blog.
I would be breathing in a paper bag, too, if a quilt I made was on the cover of a book! Congratulations!! I am loving the Progressive Dinner and would love to win the book and any of the Moda pre-cuts. I love Moda, too!!! Thanks for the chance.
I think the best part of this progessive party has been finding all these fun new (to me) blogs. You are adorable! Congratulations on the cover, and keep breathing! Thanks for the chance to win some fabulousness!
I AM LOVING YOUR COVER QUILT!
Congratulations on making the cover. I can't wait for the book. You are so very talented. So many great designs.
Congratulations on the book! Your quilt on the cover looks beautiful.

Congrats! Love the cover of this book, and am looking forward to getting my hands on a copy.
Congratulations! How exciting when something you do for fun turns out like this.
Congratulations on the book - and being on the cover! The quilt is beautiful - as is the fabric. (and thanks for the link to the sweet tea - I was craving some - and now I definitely have to make some. A little summer in the middle of this frigid Ohio winter.)
Congratulations! I'd buy the book judged on your cover...Yummy!
Congratulations! I joined your postage stamp quilt-a-long but it was so hard to decide which jellyroll to buy/use. So I would love the chance to win more!
I love Moda Bake Shop. It is bookmarked in my favorites. So far all the participants have been in my favorites also.
The book looks like there's a lot of great projects inside. If I don't win one :) I will be buying on as soon as it is available.
Thanks for a great time and the tea was wonderful

Hello from SW Ohio (waving)! Congrats on the book and for having your work on the cover. The baby pictures are very sweet, especially since my baby just turned 22!
Congrats on the cover!! I absolutely love your tutorials, I feel like I stalk your blog and moda looking for new ideas from you!
You are such an inspiration and your blog is just downright fun to read!!!
Congratulations Rachel!!! As a fellow modaholic and Ohioan, I must admit that our rediculously cold winter has been very productive for me. The moment I saw this book, I wanted to see the full quilt on the cover! I can't believe it's yours! That really is amazing! I have been enjoying your blog for a couple of years now (I am an unabashed lurker lol) I've borrowed a large number of your fantastic tutorials - particularly the crayon roll and fabric bowls. And cannot wait to see what you have inside the pages :D
Congrats!!!!! That's so exciting. I think you should make like Joey and go enjoy a nice meatball sandwich!
Loved this post- can tell how extremely excited you are and with every right to be so!:)Congratulations!! The quilt is gorgeous and to.be.on.the.cover!! Wow, can't get any better than that!!:) Thanks for the chance to win!!
Wow! what a compliment, to be chosen for the cover. Dinner was FABULOUS!! Thank you! jillseeu(at)hotmail(dot)com
Congratulations on being on the cover!! From the first time I saw a picture of the book, I knew that the cover quilt was one I would have to try!
Rachel I have been following your blog for sometime and really it's been amazing to watch all the great things that have happened to you. You are a talented lady and you inspire myself and a lot others. Congrats on the cover, you deserve it.
I love your quilt on the cover, it will sell a lot of books. Is the pattern for it in the book?
Congrats Cover girl! I am so excited about this book, I can't even tell you!
I am having fun blog hopping with all you creative people. Thanks!
Congrats, cover girl! How exciting is that!
I'm really enjoying this progressive dinner... and yes, I'd love a glass of your sweet tea!
I have to confess....I want to buy the book BECAUSE of the cover! I love it! Also, particating in this progress dinner has introduced me to other quilters who I want to follow (aka stalk) on their blogs/websites. I want to know how I can become a part of this team. I mean, I absolutely love to quilt/sew. I am addicted to fabric (Hi, my name Karen and I am a fabriholic) and I would love to quilt everyday. Unfortunately, I have to go to work everyday to earn the dollars to buy all that FANTASTIC fabric. If you have any ideas....please advise. Thanks for sharing!
Holy cow, that must be so exciting for you! I am so envious of all the people like you that are able to do what they love for a living! Your quilt, and the fabric is so lovely, I think I will have to stalk it on Amazon :)
Wow, congratulations!! What a huge accomplishment! I can't wait to make the projects in the book. Rachel, I want to be like you when I grow up. :-)
That is pretty incredible; to have your quilt on the cover! Congratulations..what an honor. Like you said many people will judge the book by the cover...they picked a beaut too. Love the quilting in that quilt. Thanks for the sweet tea, I've never had it homemade before.
Congrats on the book, that's quite an accomplishment. I can relate to being a MODAholic, I love everything Moda, in fact I very rarely buy anything else, and just love the pre-cuts.
You go Cover Girl!! I love that quilt! I had been commenting about the Progressive dinner and how much I loved the cover quilt on the book. Lo and behold it was yours!! So happy for you!
Easy, breezy, beautiful, CoverGirl. That has to feel good (and well deserved). As a transplanted yankee living in NC, I was informed that when someone told me "Y'all come back now"...it really meant "thank goodness you are finally leaving." I'll take some of that sweet tea now, please Ma'am.
Wow! That is so awesome that you made the cover! Congratulations! I always love all your bakeshop recipes!
Wow! Covergirl, impressive! Congrats on being published, the book looks fantastic!
Love your quilt and the fabric is beautiful! Congratulations!!
Hey Covergirl! Congratulations! I am so looking forward to getting my hands on this book. Beautiful quilt on he cover. Sweet Tea for me too please!
I'm just getting into quilting, and this is a terrific way to start! Thanks so much to everyone for your generosity!
This is fabulous! Your quilt on the cover and it looks really "mouthwatering"! I love stars and these fabrics! Thanks so much for dinner and the give away!
Be blessed
congrats on being published and making it on the cover! your quilt is beautiful, can't wait to make it!
Congratulations for making the front cover of the book. Looks like it's full of some awesome moda recipes. Can't wait to see the whole thing.

Rachel, I just have to say that I love your blog! You make me laugh and giggle at myself! Congrats on being a covergirl, and so soon after having the baby! You go girl! BTW..I love some southern sweet tea!
My name is Elisa, and I'm a Moda-holic too! Being the brave adventuress that I am.... I finally cut into my jelly rolls this weekend. I can do this... with the help of this great support group (and your fab patterns in the Bake Shop)!
Wow! Congrats on being on the cover! Your quilt is quite lovely.
Thanks to for the chance to try to win, win, win!
Congrats on making the cover! Can't wait to see the book. Thanks for the chance to win.
Congrats to you! I've been dying over the cover quilt - can't wait to get my hands on this book! Thanks so much!
Covergirl? Covergirl! I mean, I had no idea and I LOVE the quilt on the front cover.
And to think....I followed her blog before she was a famous COVERGIRL!
Georgia girls ROCK!
Congratulations on being on the cover. I love the quilt!
I can only imagine how excited you are. One of the things that is so exciting for me is being introduced to all these new blogs of such creative artists. I love your blog and can't wait to explore it. Congrat's to you. And wishing you lot's more success in your new ventures of a published craftier.
Congrats for being published in a book and especially the cover! Love your designs and thanks for the sweat tea, it was delicous!
Wow, Rachel! I though that quilt design looked a little familiar. Have we seen it before? Congratulations on being a cover girl!!! You deserve it.
Wow, the cover quilt.. No wonder you're hyperventilating.. It looks really good, and will definitely not stop anyone buying the book..
Congrats.
Congrats on being on the cover! I am very excited for the book! I just recently discovered your blog from a Moda Bake Shop tutorial I worked on and now I'm attempting my first quilt along with you!
Hi Rachel. Congrats on becoming a covergirl! :) Love your blog and all of your projects. I'm a huge Moda fan too and it's been fun participating in the progressive dinner. Thanks for welcoming me into your home and for the sweet tea.
I cannot wait for this book! I've made a quilt for my mother based to your christmas table topper, and a quilt for my daughter based on your scruffily quilt I used all pinks, my next project was to be the grocery bag holder since the last one I made two years ago is falling apart (that one isn't quilted). I am a fabriholic and can't make things as quickly as I buy the fabric! I'm a stay at home mom of three, origionally from WV currently living in Indiana, and I have an entire room devoted to my "crafting habit" as my hubby calls it, he thinks I have an addiction problem, I don't consider it a problem! Congrats on being on the cover! OMG! I am so happy for you! I hope this is the first of many more to come!! Happy Monday! fgrierson at hotmail dot com
Wow, a cover girl! I'm your opposite...Born & raised in Ohio, now living in Georgia!
Wow, the cover!!! I'm so happy for you, I can't wait to get my hands on a copy!! I think you are so great, love your posts and tutorials!

Congratulations for being a cover girl. When I first started quilting again and started blogging you and Julie are the two people I watched most. I love the fact that you are both so young and love to create like you do. I am very happy for you.
Grats on the book and double grats on the cover :) I'm a southern girl too and we LOVE sweet tea at my house. We don't drink much else! My 15 year old son learned to make it this year and he makes the best! Thanks for your adorable blog, I just love it.
Congratulations on being published, and the cover! Woo Hoo!! Hyperventilating is to be expected with that much excitement. Here's to many more..

Hi Rachael! I'm new to your blog, but loving it thus far. I'm from Ohio, too :) How you liking our frigid weather? brrr... From what I can see of your quilt on that cover it looks terrific. I would love to make something so nice. I'm new to quilting and haven't made a quilt yet. I've quilted some material and made some bags, but that's about it. Enjoy your success and SmIlE lots... oh and keep some paper bags handy, lol.

Congratulations on being the cover girl! I can't wait until the book comes out. In the meantime, I'm still cutting 2 1/2 sections of my postage stamp quilt.....
You have absolutely no reason to worry! The minute I saw the quilt on the cover I wanted to see more. Just awesome! Congratulations on the book...such an accomplishment! Can't wait to see more!
It's been so great getting to meet all of you lovely new authors. Congratulations.
Congratulations Cover Girl! It's been such a treat to sample this book all over blogland (and in my slippers!)
That is SOOOOO exciting!!!! Congratulations! I was admiring the cover quilt earlier in the "dinner party" because I love the swirl stitching! Can't imagine being that smooth with my machine quilting! Thanks for having us to dinner! Keep you paper bag near by...I don't think that over the top feeling is going to go away anytime soon!!

What a cool feeling it must be to be a published author! Enjoy all the limelight. . .it must be fun.
So nice to visit your place. Since the announcement of the progressive dinner I discovered your blog and have been reading some older posts. Congrats for having made it to the cover. The cover os such a wonderful book! You must be so proud! Hugs!
Just moved to the south and I'm learning all about "sweet tea"...they even have it at McDonalds?!?
You're the best "covergirl" I've ever seen!!! What an amazing honor - I hope you never forget the feeling. I'd love to win the book - either way I'll own one!!
I think you rock, Mrs. Rachel! Your Scruffily Quilt is on my to-do list along with the Pinwheel Sampler.
Congratulations on being published and getting your gorgeous quilt on the front cover! How exciting!
Rachel, your middle name is MODA!!! As for the tat... I could totally 'see' you sporting one! LOL
You deserve to be on the cover of this book, because when I think of Moda I think of you and your blog and all the wonderful things you make (and inspire me to create)!!!
Have an awesome week!
Charlene
ps, and thanks for the jar of sweet tea!!
I LOVE Moda fabric also!! My very first quilt (which was just last year) was out of the Bliss line and I have loved it all since then!! I have been drooling over Fandango since my neighbor introduced me to quilting (I only made clothes for my baby girl up to that point!!) We are going on a "girls day out trip" to HOTLanta next month and I am planning on racking up some Moda fabric!! My current project is a quilt out of the Boutique line. I say current which means I am still in the "cutting it out" stage!!! Thanks for everthing you do!!appleshae@hotmail.com
From one displaced Southern girl to another, congrats on your accomplishment! I was wondering whether we'd find out who did the pretty quilt on the cover! :) Thanks for your recipes on the bakeshop, they're lovely!
Judging by that cover, I want this book!=) Congratulation on your cover, girl!!!
Congratulations on being on the cover of the book! I love stars and being from NC, I love sweet tea!!
Congradulations on the book, Ms Cover Girl! I love your blog and your designs!

Thanks for dinner it was fun!! And a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS COVER-GIRL!! I would definitely be grabbing the paper bag too, i mean who does buy/look at books without liking the cover-I'm in love with it. I'm excited that it is one of my favourite bloggers who is on the cover and look forward to the other dinners. Once again congratulations on being a published covergirl :)

I am so grateful for your quilting inspiration. I am working on a postage stamp quilt with my daughter and we are loving it. Thanks to you and other quilt bloggers who share your talents and inspire us. Congrats on the book. Another lovely quilt!!
Congratulations! I think it's wonderful and well deserved to have your quilt on the cover. I always look forward to hearing about what you're up to by your blog updates in my email. For an old lady like me, this is like having one of your children do well without the labor pains and years of aggravation.

Congrats again!
There is nothing more welcoming than *real* sweet tea served in a mason jar! When I saw the photo, I smiled. I had a friend from Chicago who was stunned that we served sweet tea in the winter. Really? Everyone doesn't drink sweet tea year round?
Congratulations on being a cover girl! What a tremendous honor.
Congratulations on being published! I'm so looking forward to this book and the awesome fabric giveaway!!
What a stunning quilt! I got fandango for my birthday and really wanted to make a quilt for myself (for once) but had no inspiration, you just gave it to me! Thanks Mrs Covergirl! Love your work

Rachel ~ How exciting for you!! Congratulations on being a covergirl. I wondered whose quilt that was on the front. I had guessed one of three and you were one of those three. It's just beautiful and OMG I LOVE Kate Spain!! Everytime she shows new fabrics I just drool. Is it bad I'm already looking forward to next Christmas for her fabrics? LOL
Cannot wait for this book to be released. It's going to be a great book to own....even better would be to win. Crossing my fingers.

It's very exciting that your quilt is on the cover!!!! BTW, I loved your last post with pictures of your adorable baby. I would LOVE to win the book - and the fabric. Oh, and I love sweet tea. I'll stop by for some next time I'm in Ohio - Hee Hee! We live in Texas, so don't know when that will be, but since we have a camper, we tend to travel quite a bit. See you soon!
Your quilt on the cover looks amazing, I'm waiting to order mine if by some chance I win (haha). But I love the quilt on the cover you did a really good job.
Sweet tea in a mason jar - you're my kind of gal! I'll be over for dinner anytime!
Congratulations on the book & being on the cover! I read your blog daily & love it. I can't wait to see the book & be inspired. I too love Moda fabric.
I'm fairly new to the Moda Bake Shop site, but I'm quickly becoming addicted! Can't wait for the book and congrats on the beautiful quilt cover!
Congratulations, Covergirl!
Your projects are wonderful and I hope you have many more to come:)
Yeah, congratulations on being published and especially getting your quilt on the cover.
Good morning Rachel :) I, too, am a modaholic. I have often threatened to eat them for dessert...don't judge, I've seen your meat-coveting posts ;). Just wanted to thank you for the southern hospitality and tell your quilt on the cover will definitely make me buy the book!
I LOVE your quilt! I would LOVE to make a quilt like this. I need a copy of the book and the fabric to do it. Maybe I will win. If so, I will be needing a paper bag too! :-)
congrats on the book! The quilt is gorgeous!
Congratulations for making the cover! Your house is so cute! I know its filled with adorable quilts too.

Congrats for being on the cover! It's a beautiful quilt!
Congratulations on your first cover, I'm sure it won't be the last!
Many thanks for such a great blog and especially for all the wonderful tutorials!
LOVE that you're the covergirl! And I love that you are able to balance your family with your "obscession" :)
Since this whole dinner got started I have been eyeing that star on the cover!! Congrats - can't wait to see the book :)
Just from look at your quilt I would buy the book. I am new to the quilting world and have discovered that I have an ADDICTION to fabric... Moda being one of my favorites. So, thanks for helping feed my quilting and fabricholoic tendencies. Congrats on the book, that is so awesome, and I can't wait to finally get to look through the book and drool.
Hi Rachel - the fresh, clean colors in Kate's FANDANGO line are a joyful inspiration - your designs are fun and wonderful! This is such a great idea for a blog tour - leave it to MODA to come up with a great promotional idea!
Congrats on being the Covergirl and what a gorgeous baby you have. You had me hyperventilating there for a second!
Ok so first let me just say I am a new quilter and therefore a new blogger stalker! So i guess I just stopped short when reading your bio--you are only 28 and have 4 kids and you are this talented--so whats the secret sniff and huff " Moda" and you never need sleep. I mean I have decided that I can get great vibes from Moda but now I want the secret ingredient that will let me quilt and still do everything else and somehow it has to involve more hours int he day! Keep it coming cover girl!
Rachel, have I told you lately that I luv yu? Love your style of writing, love your quilts, love when you share stories of your family, love seeing pics of your kids. Love your blog. Thanks for all the effort you put into it. Oh yes, and CONGRATUALTIONS on being a cover girl. Can't wait to see the book.
On the cover?!! WOW!! I was wondering whose quilt it was since I really do love it and want to make one! Congratulations on being published too!! What an honor! I think I will be pre-ordering the book (if I don't win won during this dinner)!
Judging by the cover...I'm going to love this book! Congratulations! You're quilt is beautiful.
I am so excited for the new book - I love precuts!! Congrats on getting on the cover, that's super exciting
