Kansas City Quilt Market
I’m home and it feels so good. Kansas City was a wonderful host but there’s no place like home. We spent 6 days in the Kansas City Convention Center in downtown Kansas City and I feel like I only know a teeny bit! It’s huge and goes on for several blocks. The downtown area is surrounded by tall buildings with many styles of architecture. Of course the old buildings are always my favorite. Sample Spree at any quilt market is a shopping frenzy. People line up hours in advance to get in. This was only the start of the line and it went on forever! Quilter’s can shop like no…

Quilt Market Color
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…

Let’s walk around!
Creativity and inspiration are everywhere at Quilt Market. It’s almost sensory overload! I always come back so inspired, I love it! Barb and Mary from Me and My Sister were right next to us and their booth was FILLED with creativity! Barb said it took 7 yards of fabric to crochet this beautiful headboard for their bed. And what a genius husband that made the actual bed from pipes! Barb and Mary played hopscotch on this darling quilt. Have you ever seen anything so cute? Yes, Barb and Mary are cute too, but I’m talking about the quilt! I’ve admired Christina Strutt of Cabbages and Roses fame forever. She’s written…

Moda takes up a big section of quilt market. Their space is a large rectangle in the center and the Moda designer’s booths surround the rectangle. See all the crates in the background? They are filled with all things Moda! When market opens the transformation is amazing! Here’s the Moda family getting ready to greet customers and take orders for all that beautiful Moda fabric! I didn’t get out of the booth much at market so most of my pictures are of the Moda section. Being surrounded by amazing talent and NICE, NICE people was so much fun! Our booth was right next to Blackbird Designs, who just happened to…

To Market and Back!
Did you miss me? I sure missed all of you! I feel like I’ve been gone forever! Quilt market was fun, fun, fun but I am sure glad to be back home. I was greeted by the tail waggers club the minute I walked in the door. Both the President and the Vice President of the tail waggers club were EXCITED to see me! When we arrived in Houston we were greeted with 90 degree weather and when we left we had 4 inches of rain and thunderstorms. They do things extreme in Texas! So on with the photos! Here I am, the chief Bunny, taking the famous Pioneer Woman…
