Back from market....pics, pics, and more

The winner of last weeks drawing is Chen!  Sorry for taking so long but I tried to post from my iPad while in Portland and it wouldn't work (everything was ready to go but the little "publish" button wouldn't work when I touched it.

I'm back from Quilt Market in Portland and while I'm happy to be home, it sure was a beautiful trip.  Smoothest flights ever, which is a biggie since I'm the Dramamine Queen.  I gave a 20 minute presentation on my book which was nerve wracking but I covered all of my points and most folks were beyond friendly (I'm just excited they chose my presentation out of the dozens available in that time slot!).

Anyway, on to all the pictures.  I'm just going to flood my blog with them all week so I hope you like them.  I used my iPad for taking pictures so some of them are not as focused as I'd like.  Next time I'll go back to hauling my camera around just to get good shots.

Here is Bari's stunning Bijoux booth.  It was fun seeing everybody oohing and aahing over this collection.  I really think the rich colors (and mustard!) put it over the top.  Check out the lining and collage edge on this dress!

 

Her wall quilts were incredible and such a fantastic way to showcase the versatility of this fabric (and her great design skills).

 

 

Here is Carrie Bloomston's first booth and it was fantastic.  Her fabric collection is aptly named Collage. Carrie lives in the Phoenix area (as does Bari) and it's fun getting to know her.  

 

 

Fantastic!

 

 

 

Windham even covered their chairs in her fabric! 

 

Here are some pretty colors from the Kaufman booth.

 

 

I love this booth (Kaufman again)!

 

 

 

This is the Doglandia collection in Anna Griffin's booth.  I seriously love this.  Perfect for boys!

 

 

 

A darling display in Anna Griffin's booth.

 

 

 

Josephine Hemmerling.  Gorgeous colors.

 

 

 

Another sweet display.  I would love to load up on these fabrics.

 

 

 

Zen Chic.  Calm, classy, nice.

 

 

 

And a bike.
