Sweet Home Quilt Co.

Tomorrow is the last day of Spring Quilt Market…I hate to see it end, but in a way I’m really glad, too, because I am soooo tired! A fun girlfriend day is planned for Monday and then I head for home bright and early Tuesday morning. Today was another very long day beginning with a business lecture at 8AM, full day on the Market floor, and a fun class tonight.  Another early morning lecture tomorrow so this will be quick…enjoy.

Bunny Hill Designs booth…so stinking cute you wouldn’t believe it! Watch for the complete Lily and Will fabric collection at SHQC in October!

Pieces from My Heart booth featuring the new Lollipop collection from Sandy Gervais…coming to SHQC in October!

Collections for a Cause-Hope by Howard Marcus for Moda. The top of the picture is the actual 1840’s antique quilt that inspired the fabric collection…it was amazing at how true the prints were – old compare to new! Sales of this fabric collection will benefit ALS.  Watch for it at SHQC in September!

Crazy quilting anyone? We’ll soon have yummy new wools, silks and linens perfect for creating your own heirloom.

Fun display at the United Notions/Moda booth!

Moda Home was under the Big Top!

I took a fun class tonight – Surface Design using fabric paints and inks – way outside my comfort zone! It was reminiscent of fingerpainting in kindergarten…loads of fun!

These were the “professional” samples…

And here we were working hard at being creative…that’s Carol beside me in the red…my “work” is at the very bottom of the picture, see my blue butterfly? It was a proud moment!

Carol is hard at work, and Joyce caught me wiping my hands on my apron! It was very messy and I was trying to get the paint off my hands…good thing they gave us aprons to wear!
