Quilt Market exhausts, excites, and inspires and this one was no exception! Our booth shipment arrived on schedule and was waiting patiently for us when we finally made it to the convention center. Thankfully it didn’t experience the flight delays we ran into trying to get to Houston! It went together beautifully and the response to our new designs as well as the booth was extremely positive from everyone. The Daisy-Do Potted Pincushions were the darlings of the show for us and people stopped in their tracks to see them lined up so cute on the table!

Our Booth

The table runners were a huge hit!

The new "Silk Road To Hope" quilt on the right..."Double Check It!" Ninety percent of the profits from the sale of this pattern in 2011 will be donated to Susan G. Komen For The Cure to support the fight against breast cancer.

Spidey had to come along for the trip--Halloween is her favorite time of year!

Linda Hudson of Lost Pines Quilt Shop in Bastrop, TX won the jumbo Daisy-Do pincushion! We hope your customers like the Daisy-Do pattern as much as they like the Go Bag!!

A special “Thank You!” to all who stopped by the booth…it was so nice to meet new friends, connect faces to voices and emails and re-connect with old friends!

The orders have been filled and our patterns are on their way to a quilt shop near you! Ask for them at your favorite shop or order them online on our website! In the meantime, we’re testing out some new treasures we discovered at Market and we’ll be telling you about those in an upcoming post!   Marcia

Well, the past few months completely got away from me! I came out of my studio and suddenly it was October! I’m not sure where spring and summer went and we’re already well into fall! My garden managed to survive with minimal care and we picked the last basket of grape tomatoes and green peppers before the frost arrived last week!

Market is fast approaching and we are thrilled to be there exhibiting this year! The booth has been shipped and the new patterns are complete! You will see several new bag patterns, table runners, two new quilt designs and a really cute daisy pincushion coming out next week. Look for them on the website soon! – Marcia
