Quilt Market Pics with a Bonus

Quilt Market in Houston went well. I had a great time with the Clothworks group. I made some new friends and was inspired by many things. I couldn't ask for much more, right?

Farm Friends was represented well in the Clothworks booth. Wouldn't you know it though, I totally spaced on getting pictures of any of it!?! I have no idea what I was thinking.

I feel like the weekend went by super fast. I was really only at the show on Saturday. We arrived on Friday afternoon just in time to attend the two Schoolhouse sessions that Clothworks designers were hosting. Then off to a fun, quick appetizer dinner before heading back to the hotel to watch the final World Series game (totally disappointing since we are Rangers fans). Saturday was a full day of walking the show floor. I had intended on doing an initial 'sweep' of the show and returning to the booths of interest later in the day. What I had not anticipated was for it to be 1:00 by the time Hubby and I reached the mid-way point. We took a quick lunch break and got back to it but by the time we got to the end it was nearly time to head back to the hotel to get ready for the Clothworks dinner. Wow! Time flew and there was so much to see!

I snapped a few pics along the way but had I known it was going to be the only time I would walk the floor, I would have snapped up a whole lot more. Sunday morning I went back and stayed two hours at the booth with my Clothworks friend, Brandi. She is the Marketing Coordinator. She also happens to be really nice (we have a lot in common, especially the nice part). I sat in on a couple of her meetings then it was time to head home. It was a quick trip but also a very enjoyable one.

Here are the pics I snapped.

Amy Butler's Booth. Stunning as always!

Natalie Lymer of Cinderberry Stitches had a really adorable display in the Lecien booth of her new (and 1st!) fabric collection, Woodland along with her A-mazing embroidery work. Love it!

More of Cinderberry Stitches display

This is part of the Anna Griffin, Inc. display. This particular collection was speaking to me. I love the flowyness (is that even a word?) of the little dress and the pielike (again, even a word?) pillow.



This is another Anna Griffin, Inc. collection. As a mom of two young boys, anything dinosaur is sure to get my attention!



This pirate display is too cute! The base is actually a sandbox but it is all done up in Pirate Monkey cuddle fabric (Shannon Fabrics) so it looks like the softest place for your little pirate to lay their head after a long day at sea.



I am not sure that words can even express how stunningly original these next three designs are. In fact, all of her designs blow me away. The details in these pieces are nothing short of amazing.
