{Warning!!! Picture Heavy Post!}
I have lots of market pictures to show you. No matter how many photos I take though, it always seems like I forgot a LOT — and I did. Market is so busy and so inspiring and so overwhelming and sometimes I just forget to take pictures! These pictures are definitely lacking in quality — many booths have random bodies in them, so I hope you can at least get an idea what some of the booths were like.
Back to the first booth — Anna Griffin. Her booth is always so pretty and here’s the side that featured the Halloween print that I showed on my last post.
Sandy Gervais’s booth was beautiful and sadly this photo has cut it in half. I Love the colors of the fabrics in this collection — those chocolate prints are yummy!
And look at these clever “flowers” she had at the center of her booth. They’re made from Q-tips. I heard the man in the booth assure someone that they were never-been-used Q-tips. Whew!
The Westminster booth was fun — they had live models standing on each side. All day in those heels doesn’t look like much fun to me.
Amy Butler happened to be in the Westminster booth when I walked by but I didn’t venture in.
I was on the same wavelength as Sherri when I saw the Edyta Sitar booth. I love her new house quilt. I LOVE pieced blocks combined with applique and I think this is such a cute combination.
(As an aside, look at these cute hexagon papers that Edyta Sitar will soon be offering. Each hexagon has a little saying on it (Love in Stitches, Life is short buy fabric, etc.). Edyta said there are 100 different sayings in each package and the papers will be in two weights depending on whether you’re a baster or a gluer. Very Clever!)
The indomitable Pat Sloan. Her new fabric has some really cute coneflowers on it.
The ever cute Gail Pan. I talked to several of the Aussie designers — I’ve been missing Kellie and I just wanted to hear their Australian accents LOL!
The Michael Miller booth was very pretty — I didn’t even get a shot of the fountain. Those big panels in the foreground are all fabric and were so pretty.
I loved this wall and I don’t even know the fabric manufacturer. Dots and plaids in any color you could imagine.
Jillily always has a pretty booth.
Hatched and Patched from Australia.
And both sides of Jen Kingwell’s booth. There’s the famous Steampunk in the corner!
I Love the quilt on the table on the right. Again — the combination of pieced and applique blocks. I talked to Jen a lot about this quilt. She said they ran a quilt-along in Australia for this quilt and I’m thinking it would be really fun to do the same thing here. The pattern will be available this summer and you will be hearing more about it LOL.
Jennifer Sampou.
Darlene Zimmerman.
Dear Stella.
Alexander Henry. Their booth was all about the Ghastlies.
Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie’s Quilt Co. SO many cute new patterns!
And Look! She’s used the Moda Mochi Dots as sashing!
Riley Blake had a fun beach theme, although I didn’t capture it very well.
How cute are all those little flags in the American Made Brand booth? They’re all made of fabric and they were hanging on strings. This may have been the second most photographed wall at market!
Art Gallery’s Cherie line is really pretty.
Windham is bringing back Far Far Away by Heather Ross. I love the cute Princess and the Pea quilt!
So, that’s enough for now! When we get back together I’ll show you a few quilts at market that I thought were really pretty. And then we’ll be done and we can get back to real life — which isn’t very exciting at the moment!
XOXO,
Anna
