Met lots of bloggy friends, none of which I apparently took any pictures of. Ummm??? I must've been in a daze at this point.
The whole experience was overwhelming. The phrase "sensory overload" totally comes to mind.
I went there with clear expectations and an agenda. This is where you should commence your hysterical laughter. That pretty much went out the door the second I entered. Umm yeah. That place is overwhelming, an assault of the senses? Not in a bad way, but you have to rest your eyes every now and then - take a break from the constant onslaught of color and texture and all things sewing-related. So i'll just let the pictures do the talking shall I?
Melody Millers fabrics - huge fan of her stuff.
New Echino offerings
Heather Bailey's amazing booth complete with larger than life embroidery wall
The first day I walked into the Free Spirit section, I saw Denyse Schmidt, Amy Butler, Heather Bailey, Valori Wells, Tula Pink and Erin McMorris all in the Free Spirit section all at the same time. Whoa. Talk about design stars!
Of all that was Free Spirit, Erin McMorris' new line Astrid stole my heart. I love this fabric and can't wait to sew with it.
The always amazing Tula Pink's Booth
Did I mention that Belle is making a comeback?
New Denyse Schmidt
More Beautiful booths over by Michael Miller including the lovely Mo Bedell - she was such a sweetie!
And another Pacific Northwest gal, Violet Craft, who I didn't meet sadly, but her new fabric line Waterfront Park is one to watch out for! So gorgeous. Her booth was fab as well but I stupidly didn't take a picture of it.
And a new fabric to watch out for, Cocca by Kokka.
Some Riley Blake offerings,
Josephine Kimberling - I have a fondness for Xmassy fabrics, and this one struck my fancy.
Doohickey Designs cuteness. Check out those phones? And that large graphic medallion print will be fab as well.
Graphic Kona Booth from Robert Kaufman fabrics.
And while that is by no means all of it, I think I'll end there for today. There are more market photos on my flickr feed if you just can't get enough.
Happy Sewing!
Oh man! Just when I was getting over being sad about not going to Quilt Market, you post pics to remind me of what I missed! Ha ha! So glad that you got to go :)
ReplyDeleteMarket was amazing. I want to make SO many things but have to be realistic. I like the makeover in your previous post too : )
ReplyDeleteI love your pics of quilt market. I wish I could have gone. My understanding is that it's only open to shop owners and the like though. Is that how it works? Thanks for sharing though. I love that giant bird embroidery.
