My Last Day at Quilt Market

I took advantage of every minute, buying patterns to make samples, meeting with fabric reps to make AllegroFabrics selections, and having my website analyzed.  I loved Anna Maria Horner's Booth...full of color and inspiration, and of course, beautiful pics of her kids....How does she do it all..........

.......And look this lovely?????

I found some very interesting new patterns...This one from Oliva Ann Designs, looks difficult, but is not...great for using fat quarters, and comes with the cute leggings patterns, too.

What to do with a very long zipper....

Just for fun I had my AllegroFabrics Website analyzed.  It got a score of 98.3!  It was the highest of anyone at the market and I was over the top HAPPY.  I got some good advice on how to improve it...maybe in Houston I will get a perfect score!

Goodies from the Quilt Market!

This is the booth from Michael Miller!  It is just stunning...and this is only one corner of it!

All of these ruffles are pre made...sold like ricrac...

Patty Young from ModKid Boutique has these fabric dolls available in panels.  the cute little clothes will be available as a free download on her blog.

I just fell in love with this brand new pattern company, Bridget and Lucy.  These skirts are made with MODA Jellrolls, a bit of tulle, and an elastic waist...There is also a cute little hat pattern!  Oh My!  I know what I will be buying from MODA tomorrow!  This looks sooo much like a LilyandEbony set in the making...

Off to The International Quilt Market in Minneapolis!

I am sooo excited to be able to go to the International Quilt Market in Minneapolis this year!

I know that I will run into some of my favorite designers.  They are like heroes to me!

 

They bring all the fresh, new, bright colors of the season for us to order.  

Of course, I hate waiting for them to arrive!
I will be blogging while I am there!  The camera battery is fully charged.  Pics of new finds will appear here!  Check in daily to see what I have found.
