Belgian Waffles
March 3rd, 2009
I recently posted a new quilt project at the Moda Bake Shop using Turnovers (little triangle packs of Modagoodness), and as fun as it was to make, I have just as much fun naming my quilts. It’s like naming a new puppy… but my quilt isn’t gonna leave me surprises on my carpet or chew on my socks. I thought my blocks looked like waffles, so my first thought was “Waffle Stompers”, but thought that might reveal that I went to high school in the 70’s. I guess I just revealed that. Belgian Waffles it is! 
I loved the Chez Moi Swanky Turnovers I used. I love saying “swanky”. Even in WayneGarthlish… Schhhhha-wanky. My dark north coast Oregon days make for horrible photographs, and my photo doesn’t do this yummy fabric justice. The colors and patterns are so crisp and fun. It reminds me of my sweetest of sweetiepie friend Kathleen… her colors and the Parisian/Asian vibe that she has. If you look at Kathleen’s blog, artwork and flickr - I think you will agree!
More Moda love…

I can’t help but say… schhhhha-wanky good fun!

March 3rd, 2009You are timeless, and your quilt is beautiful too!
March 3rd, 2009You are just schwingin’ in Schwankyness!! When you mentioned “waffle stompers” I remembered the pair I had and wore everywhere - I loved those things! Okay - ’nuff nostalgia.
March 3rd, 2009Love the name of your quilt, but it’s makin’ me hungry. It is deliciously adorable, and I’m going to purchase some non-fattening turnovers and get busy! You are such a talented lady, lady!! I bow to your Swanky greatness. I’m so happy that the Moda Bake Shop came into being - it’s a wonderful showcase for all of you ladies and your creativity.
Wow, that is stunning. I saw it on B/S yesterday. The name is very cool, as those stunning fabrics….very delicious, your waffles are!!
March 3rd, 2009I love your new quilt! Swanky is my new fave. I love it. I have a bunch of it in my FQS cart - I wonder if it will make it to my home??
March 3rd, 2009I love what you’ve done with that Swanky Monica! Um… what the heck are waffle stompers and I know about the 70’s, maybe it was a west coast thing or I just forgot. With a name like that I think I would have remembered. ??
March 3rd, 2009This shwanky Belgian Wafflesh quilt ish gorgeoush! Well done shishter. I love swanky, and also cheeky. x
March 3rd, 2009Very Schhhhha-wanky! Love it so much! These are the kind of Belgian waffles that don’t go straight to your hips. No fat, no calories, no carbs, life couldn’t be better.

March 3rd, 2009thats a perfect name for that quilt! BTW… I speak WayneGarthlish all the time at home even though my 12 year old looks at me strange… it must be time to get out the old VHS so he can learn the lingo.I love your quilt and your post.
Your new waffle-stompin friend,
Lori
Oooo, that is scrumptious. My goodness, where are you putting all these finished projects??
March 3rd, 2009I love the swanky quilt!! Thanks for sharing your amazing quilting skills with us!!
March 3rd, 2009Waffle stompers sounds familiar but I can’t think of what they are? I sense something I didn’t have but envied?
Thanks for the MBS love. It was sure fun. Your stuff is always amazing, seriously, that cute just falls out of your head my dear. You are one clever girl my friend. xop
ps oh dear, I notice the warning is getting stronger here at the bottom.
March 3rd, 2009I left a comment over at the bake shop but I have to say it again: This is SO SUPER DUPER SWEET I honestly think I could eat it!!
March 3rd, 2009Like I said before wonderful swanky goodness. Now you’ve done it. I actually went to Face Book and checked you out, but I stopped at pushing the sign up button. Oh dear, how long can I hold out :-( !!!!

March 4th, 2009Waffle stompers! I haven’t heard that term in ages! My, um… parents told me about those… :o)
Love your schwankee quilt!
(no waffles were harmed in the making of it I hope)
March 4th, 2009Love the new quilt and the name is perfect! Not only did we get to wear waffle stompers, but we could wear jeans to school when it was cold! Them were the days!
March 4th, 2009Yum! I love it…
March 4th, 2009oooh, waffle stompers! Brings back memories… I LOVE the quilt, such yummy fabrics. I think I like the fact that you admitted to your 70s upbringing, hehe. Of course I wouldn’t know ANYTHING about that era.
March 4th, 2009ohhh…you mentioned Belgium Waffles!!! I lived in Brussels for 4 years and NOW I’m craving a REAL BW…. yum yum and 8,000 calories each!
March 5th, 2009I thought this was going to be a post with “real”
Belgian Waffles and I was going to tease you for being so on point with the current food trends! I should have known it was going to be a lovely quilt.
I can totally see why you called it the name you did and I’m always relieved when my craft projects don’t leave surprises on the floor!
March 5th, 2009hoooh what a perfect name !!! i love it
March 6th, 2009My sister and I were just talking about waffle stompers! How funny to pop into your post and see that! I love Moda fabrics with a passion, and your quilt is absolutely adorable!
March 7th, 2009You might not be stalking me but I’m stalking you! Just kiddin’. Stopped by to say “What Up” that’s gangsta for Hi! Like you didn’t already know that.
