It was so fun seeing Sandy again at Market, she is such a sweetheart! And now, we are so excited to welcome Sandy Gervais to the Jolly Jabber. Sandy Gervais’ latest fabric collection is Grand Finale for Moda.
Q: What was the first seed that grew into the Grand Finale collection?
A: The fabulous color that Mother Nature gives us right before the long colorless winter – like a grand finale.
Q: What are 3 Words you would choose to describe this collection?
A:
1. Versitale prints – they are fall but do not scream fall.
2. Warm colors
3. Panel looks a little Folkloric.
Q: What single print/SKU in the collection is your favorite (can only pick one!)?
A: The little plaid because it is nice to have something other than a pretty little print and it adds texture to a quilt.
Q: What is your dream project using this collection?
A: I would like to make Lissa Alexander’s scrappy granny square quilt.
Sandy Gervais’ Silly Secrets
1. What is your guilty pleasure food?
Chocolate, caramel corn, and half of a cinnamon roll every morning – the middle part of the cinnamon roll.
2. Work and life essentials aside, what is the activity you spend the most time doing?
I am not obsessed by any one activity or sport. I play a little golf, do some antiqueing and veg at our lake cabin.
3. Your biggest pet peeve?
People who litter!
6. What is the most important part of a sandwich?
The butter or the mayonaise.
7. What is your favorite fabric print ever (excluding your own)?
Oh my I have so many little treausres that I have saved over the years in my “stash”. I have a whole bolt of one of Jan Patek’s red and khaki twill stripes. Love it – and it is timeless.

That yellow fabric is my favorite from that line too. Love all your fabrics!
I love Sandy. She's a joy to chat with.
Thank you for your convo with Sandy … I so enjoy her lines of fabric!! Her blog and designs maker her seem to be such fun!!
Loved the comment about the butter or mayo..
You can never go wrong with Sandy's fabrics :)! And the centre of the cinnamon roll is my favorite part too!
Also there exist monogrammed pattern and checkerboard pattern pumpkin bags, just like other bags, to finish their team, enlarge the broad range of selection, every bag is getting a completely different meaning, or completely different focus, but that is not extremely important, the considerable point is hints on how to satisfy all the desires of people, which could be going to be the designers concerns.
Love the butter and mayo and the roll to. Almost as much as Sandy's
fabrics. But the fabric has to be first till I get hungry.
Enjoyed this conversation with Sandy and love all her lines. I can hardly believe I got out that very magazine issue last night before I read this. I just sat there and gazed at the front cover. I have it right by my chair and now will be visualizing it in Sandy fabbies!!
I love that granny square quilt too! I remember crocheting a couple of them years ago. It will be fun to quilt one with Sandy's fabric line.
Thanks, Sandy.
I don't think there is a fabric that Sandy designed that I didn't love!
