Another trip to Houston has come and gone and this one seems to have put me further behind at this already overscheduled time of year! Finally I have an excuse?! As always, Quilt Market was full of inspiration, a respite from home and business obligations and an opportunity to take a fresh look at the world of quilting. There is so much on display it is quite an overload and combined with the added bonus of some amazing quilt exhibits it is always a trip to revisit for weeks afterwards!
Of course, I'm partial to the display of 1876 Centennial quilts, (a big shout out to Anne Dawson as the exhibit was selected to move on to Quilt Festival in Chicago!!) and the exhibit of Antique Quilts of the British Isles sponsored by Moda and Antique Textile Company was outstanding.
Here are a few pictures from Quilt Market - from favorite quilts on display to fabric and pattern designer showcases!

And now that my bags are unpacked and I'm getting to the bottom of the paperwork stack - the fun ideas and new products I spied at Quilt Market are starting to surface and the goodies I stowed away in my extra bag are finding their way onto the shop shelves with the new product orders coming in daily too!
The rain is here to stay and it's a perfect time to get some stitching going! We hope you'll stop by the shop soon and discover some of our latest finds!
