Strawberry Lemonade
by Sherri and Chelsi for Moda
If you love to sew but can’t quite get your daughter to share your passion, take heart. For years, Sherri McConnell’s devotion to quilting was met with polite indifference by her daughter Chelsi Stratton. Even after they talked about designing fabric together, Chelsi’s enthusiasm for sewing was minimal. But once Chelsi’s drawings were translated into fabric, it didn’t take long for that to change. “It turns out there was really no way to design fabric without falling in love with it,” she says. “It sparked so much creativity and designing quilts adds even more.” This fervor for fabric and the creativity it inspires is evident in the 18 collections they’ve produced for Moda, and they’re as enthusiastic about their Strawberry Lemonade line as they were about their first, Bright Sun, in 2015. “It’s so cheerful and gives off that summer vibe,” says Chelsi. “The colors are quirky and I love that. We’re at a point where we’re stretching ourselves, building off our typical colors.”
