spring market

As I sat down to sort through all my pictures from market, I came to the realization that there are just too many I want to show to go into one post. This might be a 2 or 3 parter. I hope y'all don't mind. I was only able to attend market for one day. There is a lot to cram in in just one day. I started at one end, and walked every booth to the other end. There was a couple of time I stood in the middle aisle and glanced down to the opposite end thinking, am I going to have enough time to get through it all!!  Miraculously I made it, and had enough time make it back to some booths to pick up a few things too.

My first stop was to the Ribbon Candy Quilt Company. I picked up their 3 newest patterns.

Delight

Confetti  

Matchmaker 

This fabulous quilt is from Violet Craft, who is an absolute doll! And features her new line, Madrona Road for Michael Miller Fabrics

The pattern is not available yet, but as soon as it is, it will be the shop.

Of course I had to take a lingering visit to the Benartex booth and check out the quilts I had helped to sew up.

We finished 10 quilts, but they only wanted half of that. I think Kimberly sent down 8 quilts, for good measure. 

There were some really cute things made up by their design team as well.

Like this child's big top tent. How perfect for reading books, or napping. My kids would be in there all day! 

And this diaper/tote bag.  

and the inside ... 

Getting good pictures proved a little difficult. The quilts had display lights in the middle on the quilt. My camera thought that was enough light and wouldn't flash. There's a tiny bit of camera blur, which I didn't notice until uploading today.

This was the first quilt I helped with. It was a complete team effort between Kimberly, her mother and myself. I ended up getting charge of it to finish. 

all the fabric swatches laid out while placing my order. 

I also found Metropolitan Quilts while having our sneak preview the night before. As soon as I saw this quilt, I knew I needed to have it in store. I'm not sure when the patterns will ship, but I'll let ya know when they arrive!

Another great pattern on order from Metropolitan Quilts. I love the big red bird.

Lastly for today, (because my computer is starting to be uncooperative) from ADORNit comes one of their new lines: Capri - arriving in July.

I'm going to take a break and get started on a dress for my little girl.

I have more to share about market, just so long as my computer doesn't freeze again.

Maybe that's it's way of telling me it needs a break too!

Oh, and I did make it to Riley Blake today and picked up precuts of Alpine Wonderland and

 Dress Up Days (yardage to come later).

If I don't get back in time -- Have a great weekend everyone!

I bought just a few pre cuts they had on hand, and am happy to say that the rest have arrived! My shelves are exploding with 4 lines newly added to stock.

Spring Market Fabrics

I attended the Spring International Quilt Market this weekend. There sure was a lot to see, I don't even remember it all, and of course I forgot to take my camera the first 2 days. I have quite a lot coming to the store within the next few months, and was able to purchase a few things on the spot.

I found a great new manufacturer that opened last year, called ADORNit. I spoke with the owner, Carolee, for quite a while. She has been designing scrapbook paper for at least 15 years and coordinates her paper and fabric together. She had some really cute lines at market, both available now and  future lines. I was able to pick up a few precuts there and ordered the rest.

Life's A Hoot

Comes in boy & girl

Buckaroo

Available in 3 colorways:

Red

Blue



Brown

I was also able to get my hands on some precuts from Robert Kaufman. I don't have enough space in my house to host their bolt requirement to open an account, so these are extremely limited.

...And...

most are not available in stores yet!

Pick A Bunch

100% Organic Cotton

Holiday Flourish in Black Tie Christmas

I spent the majority of the day yesterday adding all the new market purchases to the store.

I have a few new patterns to add today, I will post about them later.

Hopefully I will have a few market pictures to show as well. (My battery died as I tried to download them)
