• Welcome To Our Family

    “Welcome to our family”!  Those are THE most wonderful words you can ever hear at a quilt market and the owner of the boots you saw in the last picture said them to me!  Me!!!  The boots came all the way from Dallas of course and belong to Mr. Mark Dunn, the President and owner of Moda Fabrics! And those cute little black sandals belong to Cheryl Freydberg, the Design Director of Moda Fabrics!

  • Quilt Market Spring 2010

    So many things happen in the three days of quilt market it’s impossible to capture it all.   After hundreds of pictures, hugs, handshakes, laughs, late nights, hard work and just pure fun it all becomes a bit of a blur combined into pure joy and so many blessings. Minneapolis you were charming!  You greeted us with open arms and it was delightful to visit your beautiful city.   The skyline at night was breathtaking.  I never had my camera with me at night so I’ll have to see if I can find a photo from someone else.  Looking up at the night sky, surrounded by the most beautiful tall buildings was…

  • Oh the goings ons!

    So who’s shoes are these?  I’ll give you a little hint.   Yep I’ve been to the Great Mall of America and I bought MORE shoes.  My feet were hurting and I had to! But, I have serious shoe envy.  The little flower sandal are Barbara’s from Me & My Sister! She walks around in the cutest little sandals and is so, so happy!

So onto market;  We rented a large van on Wednesday and…

  • A Few Things Going to Market

    Did you think I’d be on that airplane right now?  Nope not until tomorrow at the early hour of 6:30 Pacific Time. Minneapolis here we come! Just have to share a few new things before I leave! My new fabric line comes with the most wonderful pre-quilted SOFT fabric!  I’ve used it for so many things! My friend Anne made this little pink jacket for our booth.  It’s just the sweetest! It’s a pattern from Oliver & S.  I parted with a few vintage glass buttons for the finishing touch.  It’s so adorable and you can see it in our booth, along with the little plaid skirt that goes with…

  • Feeding the Fetish

    Thank you triple times over for all the shoe suggestions.  I’ve tried almost all of them!   The other day when UPS came to the door our driver had so many shoes my husband had to sign for them.  Yep, he was really happy about signing for shoes.  Keeps saying something about how he should have looked at my feet before he married me.  He thinks he’s funny. Don’t laugh at him, it just makes him worse. Almost everything has gone back, but I did keep these funky looking pair of Clarks.   FUNKY but so comfortable.  Would have preferred something a bit more feminine… I actually thought about keeping this…

  • Yoko Saito Visits the Bunny Hill Booth!

    So, I’m in the Bunny Hill Booth, and two lovely Japanese women walk in.  They start talking and smiling at each other about my Scottie dog quilt.  I leaned over to get them a pattern and when I came up I saw the name tag;  Yoko Saito. First came a gasp, then tears, and then the bowing started.  Back and forth we went, bowing over and over.  I wasn’t sure when it was polite to stop, so I just kept going and so did she!  I felt so graced just to have her visit my booth!  She is, in my humble opinion, the best appliqué designer ever. There she was,…
