Quilt Market

Quilt Market Color

November 5, 2011 / 21 Comments

International Quilt Market is always so exciting!  Twice a year unbelievable talent comes together under one roof and you can’t help but be inspired!  Walking the aisles = mind overload;  new things are everywhere.  Getting away from my booth to see things can be challenging but oh so much fun!  My focus this time was on color…beautiful, beautiful color…

 

Can you stand it?  Don’t you want to just dig your hands into those buttons and cut yourself some trims?  I got carried away in the Valdani booth with all that pearl cotton and floss.  I may have to get a job working for Valdani just so I can get my fill of those balls of color.  I’d never get a paycheck because I’d spend it all before it reached my hands!  Good thing this only happens twice a year.  I could end up in the poor house for bunnies!

Back soon to show you my booth…

Hugs,

Anne

    Buttons, Buttons, Buttons, are a wonderful memory I have of spending time at my Grandmother’s house. I loved to dump her buttons out onto the floor and marvel at each and everyone of them. Thanks for bringing back those memories. Looks like you had a great time @ market. Waiting on those booth pics. :)

    Anne, is Quilt Market open to the public or just to the ‘trades’? Not that I’ve ever been close enough to get to any of them so far– but one can dream…someday!

    Your photos are so beautiful. Seriosly, they make me drool!

    thanks for sharing them (and we’re looking forward to more. A bit greedy, aren’t we?)

    Any time you’d like to hire me as a booth sitter, I’m available! I think it’s the only way I’ll ever get in to see things and I’d really love to see at least one Market. Do you know when it will be back in Portland? Ever??? I agree – the colors in your photos are really beautiful.

    What a candy store!! And zero calories! What is it about buttons that are so endearing? I loved my mothers button box and playing with them when I was little. She used an old talcum powder box. I dont remember the brand of powder but I can recall the fragrance when I think of loose buttons! Did that one photo show stacks of folded vintage tablecloths?? So cool. I am greatly anticipating the Road to California show in January. Like I need more candy…..

    #1 Will Holly Hill have the Mery, Merry Snowmen kits? They are just down the big river from me! #2 Yes, that’s EXACTLY what I was thinking as I scrolled down through the photos. My hands were just itching to dig into those bins of loose buttons!! It must be a genetic thing because I collect buttons and my DGD, aka The Young Princess, always wants to “look” at the buttons.
