We are back from Quilt Market and will be in recovery mode all week long. While we were gone the kids taught Skate all about monsters so we spent about an hour last night peeking out the window, yelling "Monster! Run!" and then running around in circles. And his big brother taught him how to say "fart" while we were gone. Nice.
But, what a whirlwind market was! Old friends, new friends and fabric, fabric, fabric! Joey and I got off the plane and checked in with the shuttle service. When we turned to find some seats, there was Melissa Averinos sitting there waiting for her shuttle! I knew her fabric was going to show up at my house while I was there so I was thrilled to chat with her before she was surrounded by a mob. Here she is at her Schoolhouse debut talking about her fabric.
Here is her beautiful display in the Westminster wing of the exhibition hall.
Tina Givens had a beautiful booth (again!) and I'll be getting her cute patterns in the store soon. She is really a fun and sweet (and helpful!) lady and we really enjoyed chatting with her. Here she is chatting with Joey (that's my bag he's holding, not his, in case you were wondering).
More of her booth.
Her flying pig. I love this pig.
Tina and Melissa. Cute!
Friday night was the fabric 2.0 gathering and it was a blast (thank you Kathy and Caroline!!). For some reason I thought we had tons of pictures of that night because I kept seeing Joey taking pictures. It turns out he was taking pictures for everybody else with their cameras! Ugh! So I will be stealing pics and posting links (some good ones here at Angela's blog) when all those bloggers start posting (some of them are still in Houston). Here is a picture of me with the Houston skyline. I'm terribly afraid of heights so I was a little bit of a wreck but once the sun went down I could pretend I was at ground level (and the Big Gulp sized glass of wine helped too).
And what would Quilt Market be without....quilts? I love this one (not crazy about the lighting in the hall though).
Here's a sparkly close-up.
Like last time there were lots of freebies so I'm sharing! Here's today's treat...a great little stack of 2 Sugar Snap fat quarters (from the designer herself!). Just leave a comment (you know the routine)!
I'll have more all week long so don't change that channel!
