This week we are highlighting a collection from Moda Fabrics called A Blooming Bunch. Maureen McCormick is a maker and creative spirit whose love of retro-style infuses her fabrics. While you might know her from her years as Marcia Brady on The Brady Bunch, she grew up loving quilts and the family connections they represent. A Blooming Bunch colors funky flowers and prints with an updated-retro palette to create a collection that has a distinctive modern and kind of groovy feel. Marcia says, "Here's my story...what I love about the 70s style is that it feels very chic, fun, happy, flowery and breezy and puts a smile on my face. It makes us feel good because it takes us back to a simpler time, to the simple pleasures that are near and dear to my heart. From the colors of the 70s to the fashion, music and prints, I love it all. And I'm so happy to bring A Blooming Bunch to all of you 'lovely people'."
