Well Quilt Market is wrapping up and we are finishing up some loose ends. Today we ordered some ceramic buttons from Riley Blake that are darling! All the colors match their fabric collections and I already have 100 ideas on how to use them running through my mind! I have a HUGE love of buttons so it was hard to narrow down the choices but these were some of the best!
Pam and I took some time to walk through the quilt display that is featured at the start of the show. The quilts were magnificent and one of our favorites was this beautiful lavender hand appliqued quilt. The applique work on it was fantastic and I was ready to pull it down and stuff it in my tote but Pam said they frown on that sort of thing. Really????
We finished out our day with a visit with our favorite pal and designer, Dodi Poulsen from Two Sister from Squirrel Hollow. She had one of the best designed booths in the show, with all of her models from her new book, Fresh Picked! We featured this book through Shop Hop and all those lucky people that ordered ahead will receive an autographed copy when they arrive in June!
We are making plans for our Post-Market Preview party that will be held in the shop. Watch for details but don't wait to register, seating will be limited. As fun as Quilt Market is, it will be nice to be home and have a good night's sleep in my own bed. I am sure the Furry Dudes, Caliber, Opie & Wally will take their time getting over their "huff" with me for not taking them along, but maybe next time!
