Home again
Quilt Market was wonderful. My booth was part of what Moda calls ” The Designer Studio”. Many of the Moda designers shared space, making up 2 long rows of booth space with no walls in-between. Being surround by my favorite Moda designers was so much fun and we had a great time. Here’s a photo of one side of the Designer Studio. Barb and Mary have a great blog post showing all the Moda designers at market. Thank goodness Barb and Mary thought to take the photos of everyone. Moda’s Designer Studio ended up winning a ribbon for Best Merchandising! And when I came home guess who came along…

Quilt Market Week
If Quilt Market could have its own week, this is it! When I think of quilters from all over the US and international countries, arriving in Portland this week, it’s mind-boggling. Oh how I wish I could take each and every one of you to quilt market. The excitement is building throughout the week with classes and sample spree. Friday is opening day! If you can’t come to market, follow along on Jolly Jabber ( the Fat quarter Shop blog) or, on the Fat quarter Shop’s Facebook page. You’ll get market updates throughout each day and get all the news as it happens. Molly “Molly” horse, my newest petite pattern,…

Michelle lives in Portland
Project Runway Do you watch Project Runway? I tape all the shows just so I don’t miss one. If you were cheering for Michelle when she won Project Runway, you are not alone, and guess what? She lives in Portland, right where quilt market is going to be (ok, maybe not right where quilt market is, but I’m sure she’s close by). I would love, love, love to meet her! She should be an inspiration to all of us because she picked herself up when she was down and came out on top. Holly Hill Also very near Portland is a fabulous quilt shop called Holly Hill. It’s a must…

Bring in the new
It gets so crazy around here right before market. You’d think I’d be used to it, but it never ceases to amaze me. It’s market frenzy time and it takes every minute I have to get ready. My husband cooks, feeds the pets, shops and takes care of the house, just so I can design quilts and write patterns. Bless his heart, it’s a routine we automatically fall into. I couldn’t do it without him. I’ve been sewing with my newest fabric line from Moda called Celebration. I’ve designed Celebration with 2 colorways; one for boys and one for girls. Celebration for boys… …with elephants in red, blue…
