New Pattern Collection

 

Tomorrow I leave for the Fall '13

International Quilt Market in Houston.

I'm flying and have LOTS of stuff to take for

my booth so the laptop is staying home.

That means my blog readers will have the

first peek at the new designs.

 

This is Stars Hollow.

 

 

Floral Park

 

Summerside

 

I have been back at work with wool felt.

 

Grand Isle

 

Avalon

 

Petaluma

 

The patterns are up on the website and you

can order by just emailing me:

Wholesale orders are available through me

or from Checker Distributors.

Exciting Times at Quilt Market

Here are a few photos I took this morning

as I was arriving at day one of the 

International Quilt Market in Houston, Texas.

If you look just above and behind the 

Janome sign on the right ~ that's me!

American Homestead!

I can't believe these are the only photos

I took all day...  It was very busy, meeting

old and new colleagues and shop owners from 

all over the world.

At one point I was looking out of my booth at 

all the big name fabric companies, sewing machine 

companies, famous designers and realized how 

happy I am to be here among them ~ it is very

exciting.  Just last week I read the fascinating

new autobiography by Kaffe Fassett and this 

week, his booth is a stone's throw from mine.

I am arriving at a place where I only dreamed

about in the past and I'm loving every minute of it!

I promise to try to take more photos in the next

two days ~ stay tuned...
