Off to Market We Go!

Hubby and I are off to International Quilt Market in the morning. I had to go without him in May to Salt Lake City because we just couldn't justify both of us going at that time. I am happy that the Fall Market is always in Houston so that means he will be able to attend every Fall. I like having him there for support. I also like having time to just be the two of us for the weekend. It reminds us of how it all started.

Anyhoo, we leave in the morning for Houston. I have a few Farm Friends goodies to take along with me. Farm Friends will be represented in full force this time since it is actually fabric now and not just on paper. I will take lots of pictures and share them when I get back. In the meantime, here are the things I will be taking along.

This is the Farm Friends quilt pattern that I designed for the Fat Quarter Shop's new pattern company, It's Sew Emma. It is called Zero Calorie Donuts. So cute! You can pick up the pattern over at It's Sew Emma and the Farm Friends fabric you need at Fat Quarter Shop.

These are some adorable overalls made by the lovely and talented Bonnie of Fishsticks Designs. She is going to have her first booth at Market this weekend and she liked my Farm Friends fabric so much that she asked to make a few of the items for her booth out of it. She was also kind enough to make the cuteness on the right for me to display in the Clothworks booth. So adorable!!

These are a couple of pillows that I whipped up at the last minute. I had to take the pictures inside because it is dark outside right now. I just finished the roll pillow. Bad pics...sorry. I am thrilled with how they turned out. I think they show a bit of the versatility of the fabric collection. There is a mix of small scale and large scale designs in Farm Friends.

I was hoping to make the Farm Friends embroidery quilt and hand out the free pattern but unfortunately I have not received enough yardage to complete the quilt as of yet. I am almost done with the embroidery panels, however, so once the fabric arrives at my door I should be very close to making the finished product to share with you. You can get started on your own by grabbing the free pattern here.

Have a great weekend!
