More from Market

I'm home, over my jet lag, half unpacked and back to work. So I can show some more pics from Market and my trip. Today will be the fabulous Kathy Schmitz and her equally fabulous sister Bonnie Sullivan. Kathy is one of the designers on my website, and some of her patterns are being discontinued. I have put pics of some of these on my facebook page, if you want them get them soon because I can't get any more.

Kathy's booth at Market, she was in the Moda section showing off her new fabric range. She also has a great new book that is available, the quilt in the background is from it.

Kathy in front of her great designs. There are several of her patterns I want to make.

Bonnie in front of her latest patterns, her specialty is wool - isn't it all gorgeous.

The last day of the show, I think Kathy had just about had enough so she was resting on the bed in Bonnie's booth. Love the crazy patch quilt. 

Bluebird Nest - this is one of the discontinued patterns. It has been on my to do list for quite a while.

The Greatest Joy - another discontinued pattern, gorgeous as well.

More Quilt Market

Here are some more pics from Market. These are quilts that are on display around the show. I don't have designer names for them all, but I will try and get them tomorrow and update them when I get a chance.

This one is one of the raffle quilts.

Quilt Market Portland

Quilt Market in Portland is fabulous, of course. Portland seems like a nice city, haven't seen much of it because I have been wandering around market. I'm just going to post some pictures of market today, various fabulous scenes from the show.

Anna Maria Horner embroidery - gorgeous

Atkinson design - new quilt pattern

Quilted Fish - Amanda Herring - new quilt pattern and new fabric range. Fabulous

A very cute bag someone had, I had to ask if I could take a photo, isn't it wonderful.

Modern quilt by Bill Kerr and Weeks Ringle

Absolutely stunning quilt from the new Modern Baby quilt book, the quilting is amazing. Can't think of the maker's name at the moment.

Great new bag pattern by ByAnnie. These will be available (pattern only) in the shop soon.

A wall in a booth, not sure who, but it is so much fun. I wanted to take one of the dolls home.

More from the booths, love the sofa.

Sock monkeys - traditional design but very modern take. I want to take these home as well.

USA trip

Well here I am in sunny USA. I have been away for just over a week, had great plans to blog regularly but it hasn't happened. I have been visiting my fabulous friend Karla and her hubby just north of Seattle, and had a lovely time. Karla is so good, she takes me to lots of quilt shops. I also had a day trip to Canada, never been there before and thoroughly enjoyed it apart from the minor bout of food poisoning I came back with. I have pics of quilt shops and touristy stuff to post but today I will just show off some of my fabulous fabric purchases.

these are a nice range of browns, not my usual colours but these are lovely.

Monkey fabrics in brown and red, for my gorgeous friends Megan and Damien's new baby who should be here soon.

I always say I won't buy more black and white but I always do. Love them

This is one of my favourite fabrics, it is an Alexander Henry print. I don't think they are available in Australia. Inspired by Edward Gorey.

And another bunch that I just needed to buy.

 

Now I'm about to go to market. Might have to buy more fabric there. I will put up posts as much as possible over the next few days to show off some of the great stuff I have seen.
