Quilt Market

Leaving town again

I keep thinking I’ll fit in a blog post any day now, but here I am getting ready to get on a plane for Portland this morning with not much done.  I’m flying to Holly Hill Quilt Shoppe along with 4 other designers to show 150 ladies how to make our little Christmas projects!

I’ll just give you a quick run down on my schedule so you’ll understand why there’s not been a peep from me.

I got my fabric two weeks before market.  Need I say more?  It was like a nuthouse around here and the main quilt never did get finished.  Such is the world of applique.  :>)

Market was the most emotional ever.  It was Moda’s 40th anniversary and it was such an honor to be able to help them celebrate.  Here’s our group photo in front of the amazing quilt made for Mark Dunn.

When I returned from market I was stranded at the airport because my poor husband was so sick he couldn’t make the 1  1 /2 hour drive to come get me.  I had to call for back-up.

I brought home everyone’s cold from the airplane.  It lasted a week and I spent 4 days in bed just sleeping.  Now I’m feeling better and I’m off again!

The next 5 days in Portland are filled with rain.  Wonder if I should put plastic bags over my new suede boots?

I’ll try to take lots of pictures for you so you can see how a Christmas crafting party is done.  It’s amazing!  I’ll fill you in on new patterns etc. after I get home next week.  Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

 

Hugs,

 

Anne

    So sorry you came home from market sick, but glad you’re back on your feet. I recall you saying your fabrics would be late in arriving, but two weeks…talk about stressful! Such a great photo of all of you! Have fun at Holly Hill and be sure to tell us all about it. Oh, and you can get a spray to waterproof your suede boots. I think most shoe stores have it.

    You are a busy lady…but of course, the talented ones always are. Sorry to hear you were sick but happy you are feeling better now. Did you get to get some reading done while laying in bed? Can’t wait to see the new projects from market and the christmas crafting event. Take care.

    Oh, how cool would that be? A Christmas workshop with FIVE designers? I’d love to hear all about it!

    Glad you’re feeling better! Take care of yourself, and bring us back lots of pictures. :D
