Raised in the Country
I wasn’t raised in the country, but I sure wish I had been. Something about the early morning fresh air, the sound of chickens and of course those wonderful Country Fairs! That was the theme this market at the Moda booth…Country Fair and what a fair it was! Did you ever win a ribbon at the Country Fair? Moda had lots to share! Come on in, it’s fair time! Get your ticket and you could win a prize! I heard someone won an IPad by spinning that wheel… …and these sock monkeys were pretty darn cute in this adorable Ferris wheel! Dibs on the big monkey in the blue seat!…

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…

Nighty Night in the Bunny Hill Booth
A sea of white and gray that goes forever. Sounds beautiful doesn’t it? Dream away because arrival at the convention center is never a pretty sight. The sea of white…polyester curtains. The sea of gray…steel poles. Then someone throws in some purple carpet. Sometimes I arrive with a plan for the booth but not this time. We had extra help from Pauline and Pam who I met through blogging! They worked so hard to help us figure out what to do. They held quilts as I stood back and gave the thumbs up or down. They went up and down that ladder too many times to count and we were…

Spring Quilt Market 2011
Oh my goodness, what a whirlwind the last week has been. I met so many wonderful people and saw so many beautiful quilts. I’m in awe of it all! Hugs, hugs, and more hugs; I think that’s what quilt market is about! Salt Lake City I miss you already, but I have to say it feels good to be home. The greeting committee that met me at the front door today made sure I was covered in wet sloppy kisses in no time at all. I got a hug and a kiss from my husband too, but there’s nothing like dog kisses mixed with a little cat fur! Speaking of…

You find this fabric in Salt Lake City this week. Puttin’ on the Ritz is debuting at Spring Market starting on Thursday night and bundles in pink, blue and gray just might be found on the sample spree tables. It will be in good company along with lots of other fabulous Moda bundles! If you’re attending Quilt Market stop by the Bunny Hill booth #1225 to say hello and see my new things.

If you’ve shopped for bedding lately…

One week and counting!
It’s crazy right now! 1 week and counting before quilt market and everyone I know is scrambling to get things done. I leave for Salt Lake City on Tuesday! It’s exciting to think of so many new things under one roof! The last time we attended market in Salt Lake, the city welcomed us with open arms. Salt Lake we love you! If you saw my newsletter you heard that my newest block of the month isn’t quite ready. Think about this…some of the fabric for Raining Cats and Dogs just arrived on Saturday! That’s right, I’ve been waiting and waiting for it to get here and the quilt blocks…
