Well, it’s taken me a little longer than it should have to get back here and show you a few of my quilt market pictures. I was only in Houston for two days — my flight was canceled out of our lovely but small-market airport, and since it was the last flight of the day I was stuck until the next morning. And since I had planned on spending an overnight with TheSecondChild on my way to market, I had to push everything back a day.
And THEN, I had to rush home on Sunday because TheManoftheHouse had his second knee replaced on Monday. So, very. quick. trip. and very busy week. But — Lots of Fun! It’s late, so I’ll just keep my words to a minimum and show you the few pictures that I took. (There are more on my Instagram page, if you haven’t had enough of quilt market pictures yet ;-D.)
I’m guessing this may have been the most photographed wall of market.
Cori Dantini for Blend Fabrics is always a favorite.
Another super cute Blend Fabric — a few of the prints from this Paris line will be in my etsy shop hopefully sometime this month.
Fiberworks is always a fun booth — her quilts are so interesting.
The Free Spirit booth was gorgeous — like wandering through a mini quilt show. The quilt on the left is a Fiberworks pattern.
This is one of Jen Kingwell’s new patterns — I LOVE it!
Ooooh Look! A Gaggle of Aussies! Or would that be an Assortment of Aussies??? An Assemblage? Accumulation? Aggregation???? All I know is that they’re all crazy. And a ton of fun!
Next to quilt market were the quilts on display for the Annual International Quilt Show. I took very few pictures, but here are three of my favorites.
This little guy REALLY wants to play ball.
Someday. On my bucket list. (Bad, Bad blogger — I forgot to snap pics of the descriptions of these two quilts. We had so little time – I only had one day for both market AND the quilt show — this was the last hour of the day.)
And, I showed this one on my instagram feed — I love this quilt by Rahna Summerlin. Apparently the judges do too — it won in Paducah and also took first place in the traditional pieced category in this show.
So, that’s it. It’s hard to believe it’s all over — it went by so quickly. Now back to work — fall is such a busy time. Even more so with TheManoftheHouse incapacitated and my frequent visits to see MeMum. And the leaves. ALL the leaves. So. Many. Leaves. I’m just glad we’re having a prolonged fall this year. More time for The. Leaves.
XOXO,
Anna
Thanks for sharing the pictures Anna. I already enjoyed seeing them on IG, but you can’t see enough of those gorgeous quilts!
I, for one, look forward to your market posts every year. So thank you! I am not an ‘instagrammer’, and since more and more people use it and don’t put as many blog posts up, I am really happy when I find a blogger to do so :) I hope your honey is recovering well from his surgery. I was just thinking about you yesterday, so I am double glad to see your post today. Take care.
Good to know you had a great time at market, even though it was short. Thanks for the lovely eye candy. I hope TheManoftheHouse is recovering nicely (must have been hard for him to do it all again).
It’s so frenzied and so much to see. You captured some lovelies.
Oh golly, I hope your hubby is recovering OK. I don’t like the sounds of knee surgery. Love the Market Pics. Such amazing quilting.
Thanks for a great report – I will get there one day!
Hope MofH is recovering well.
Love your photos! Next best thing to being there.
Thanks Anna, always enjoy your Market reports. Hope MotH is recovering well. I’ll leave you to your leaves!! xx
Once Malcolm has raked up all our leaves, shall I send him over to do yours??!! Lots of fabulous quilts – if only there were more hours in the day to sew!!
Love all the photos. Sounds like a fun but quick trip.
Ooohh so many scrumptious things!! I bet you were dreaming of quilts every night. Thanks for sharing a bit a quilt market with us.
Those quilts are amazing. Not quite like my little squarey efforts!
Oh my, nope, never tired of seeing these lovelies! Hope MotH is recovering OK and the worst behind him ( and you). I have a JenKingwell on my list for sure this year but I am thinking it’s Steam Punk. We’ll see. Where did this year go? It’s almost Christmas and I have nothing done much even planned. Oh well think I will go scroll through IG a bit more.?
glad you got your Aussie fix at Quilt Market………thanks for sharing he pics everything looks amazing…………..
I was fortunate enough to attend the quilt festival, wish i could have run into you and snap a pic. thank you for sharing your pictures.
