Pillow Talk

My Moda Pillow

Last October I was in Houston for

International Quilt Market.  This is

a trade show for the quilt industry.

Sadly, I only have a few photos

because less than a half hour into

the show, I met the button guy and

he had me so enthralled with the

story of how he got the antiques shown

above that I dropped my camera ~ on

the concrete floor and destroyed it.

Does anyone know what they are?

The day before Quilt Market opens

is a day where you go to various lectures

lasting either 15 or 30 minutes and find

out about new fabric, patterns, tools, etc.

The Moda fabric lecture was called Pillow

Talk and each of their designers had to

make a pillow that told something about

themselves.  After the lecture we were

given the fabric hankie above and at Market

the next day we visited with all the designers

and they stamped our fabric with a design.

When I got home I didn't know

what to do with the hankie.  So since

the Moda theme was Pillow Talk, I

decided to make a pillow with it.  Now it

is on the day bed in my studio and

when I have worked too long,

I use it to take a cat nap...
