The Moda Booth!

Let’s get this post quilt market party started!

The best way to do this is to start with the Moda booth.
The theme this time in Portland was “Fall In Love With Moda”.

How perfect!

There were thousands of fabric leaves everywhere and in every color …

The ladies actually laser cut and then stitched all these leaves together. Proving that “Bella Solids” do indeed include all the colors of the rainbow!

I love this!!

There were coordinating baskets painted in all the fun fall colors at the top of every booth intersection …

And cute little wooden squirrel cutouts scattered all around the booth.

There was even a Me and My Sister quilt on one of the front pillars!

The little wood burned signs that name the quilts are adorable! That’s our new “Pin Curls” quilt hanging. It’s made using fat quarters and our new “Giggles” fabrics. The second quilt hanging out of the drawer is made using another new pattern called “On the 45″. This pattern features 2 easy projects that use the 45 degree angle on your ruler.

The Moda booth even won 2 awards!

The proud group accepting the awards from left to right are … Lissa, Holly and our fearless leader Mark Dunn.

More market news and photos coming soon!

New Market Booth Concept!

To go along with the new wave of  “modern” quilting, Moda has come up with a new booth concept for the designers!

We got an email along with this sketch awhile back, asking if we would like to participate in this new booth design area …

DSCN8932

We said yes! This should be really fun sharing a space with others!

We will be in booth #702 along with 11 of our designer friends …

Jan Patek
Deb Strain
Kathy Schmitz
French General
Basic Grey
Pat Sloan
Minick and Simpson
Bunny Hill
Sweetwater
American Jane
V & Co

Stop by to tell us what you think and let us know how you like the new hangout! The other traditional booths will still be around the Moda area, we are just the new test dummies.

Don’t worry, I will still take plenty of pictures!

Reporting from Quilt Market in 7 very short days …

Mary Caught The Bug!

Well it’s frozen over!
Mary has decided to learn to knit!

She worked on several projects at our recent Quilt Camp with the girls …

DSCN8890

I thought at first that she just wanted to buy all the cute supplies, but she is actually using them.

For now she’s only doing washcloths …

DSCN8896

And hot pads …

DSCN8900

But this a a huge development and she has more yarn!

DSCN8893

Soon she will be designing troll doll outfits like the ones I knit …

DSCN6840

Talent runs rampant … LOL!

So without further delay the lucky winner is …

Susan!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              I really like the way you utilized some of your scraps for this block – my goal is to use some of mine up, but I still want to make my quilts appealing – can’t wait to try this one.

I will be contacting the winner by email shortly.

Thanks again for joining in on the fun!

Barb

PS ~ Sorry for not getting this announced last night, I got too involved with Dancing With The Stars! Go Kellie and Derek!
