Deb Strain-Lecture: Design Fabrics

Christ Covenant Church, 6390 North Major Drive, Beaumont, TX 77713

Deb and her husband Scott currently live in their new hometown of Yellow Springs, Ohio. With one of their 3 children on the east coast, one on the west coast, and the third next door, life is filled with long distance calls, traveling and helping watch their twin grandsons that also live next door!

A MODA designer since 1996, Deb feels honored to have watched Moda’s growth and success over the years. “Moda’s integrity and genuine caring about quilters, the quilting industry and their designers has always been part of why I love working with this wonderful company. That and the “best in the business” members of the Moda family have made it an incredible journey.”

Hand drawing and hand painting her fabric lines, Deb has created over 100 groups since she began working with Moda. She loves working with different colors and patterns, the more intricate the better!

Always interested in art, Deb was an art teacher before becoming a designer. Her artwork has been featured on many different products over the years: calendars, greeting cards, garden flags, books, framed prints and more. Recently, she and Scott proudly launched their own embroidery line called “Deb Strain Stitches,” providing embroidery patterns and kits coordinating with Deb’s fabric collections.

With traveling to see her children and creating new fabric lines and other new art, Deb’s life is happily filled with color, creativity and HUGS!
