Chloe & I traveled to Kansas City last week to attend International Quilt Market.
It was great spending time with her & some of our market friends
including Susan Knapp of The Quilt Branch,
& her helper Karen Bailey.
Lucky for me, KC is a relatively short drive so we had a double booth
and I was able to pack some of my favorite goodies for display.
It was nice to talk to lots of old friends and to make lots of new ones too!
Lots of little Dresdens happening here!
We also showed my new quilt-as-you-go runner/placemat & lap quilt patterns.
Since I’m always busy each day in my own booth,
we have to go early to walk the rest of the show
or we have no idea what else it there.
We were able to see Moda’s new fabric collections that will be available later this year.
I chose postcards of my favorites…
Lella Boutique has a beautiful, soft collection with pretty greens & blues that I liked.
Minick & Simpson’s Northport group looks stunning as their groups always do.
I love the neutrals of Primitive Gatherings’ Urban Farmhouse Gatherings.
Betsy Chutchian’s Sarah’s Story has some of the same colors
as her Savanna’s Scraps so it would be easy to use the two groups together.
Sandy Klop’s Bubble Pop is adorable.
She put my black & cream polka dots in this collection!!!
I guess I’m not the only one who thinks her rainbow colors
are only made better with black & dots…
You’ll definitely be seeing me use those!
I fell in love with some fabrics at the Diamond Textiles booth too.
Their prints & yard dyed fabrics look beautiful together!
I love their yard dyed fabrics with prints woven into them.
So much texture & color range!
Wish I could take the booths home with me.
That would certainly make some decisions easier!
They’re all so inspiring!
All too soon we’re back home & back to work.
Where does the time go???
Enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend.
I hope it includes some quilting time!
Just Keep Sewing…
Susan
Quilting my way through life!
