Quilt Market ReCap Day 1

I haven't done a whole lot of sharing some of the photos I took from Quilt Market, so for the rest of the week - I'm going to do just that!

A lot of the photos I'll be sharing over the next week were taken by Pam Buda of Heartspun Quilts - she snapped a lot of good ones where as a lot of mine were taken with my IPad and I appear to need a bit more practice with it!  I'm a bit shaky with that thing - should have carried around my good Nikon camera - but oh well - live and learn!

Enjoy my Quilt Market ReCap!

Here is Miss Pam herself, along with Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings in the center and myself on the right.

And next we have some pictures from some of the goodies in Lisa's booth:

 Here is Kathy of The Cottage at Cardiff Farm she introduced some really neat patterns at quilt market also!

Here is "one half" of The Quilt Crow Design team!!  Love their new book and their patterns are awesome!

Next we have Paula and Mary Ellen of Red Crinoline Quilts (formerly Bonnie Blue Quilts)  Love their stuff - always have, always will!

And that will do it today!  See ya tomorrow!

Lori Smith at Quilt Market

Today I'm going to share with you the photos of Lori Smith's booth at Spring Quilt Market.  Lori is the designing genius behind From My Heart To Your Hands patterns.  She's a whirlwind of creativity and fun to talk to.  I wish we lived closer to each other because I'd love to sit and stitch with this creative woman!

Lori runs her business all by herself, like many of us pattern designers do.  She travels to and from several large quilt shows a year bringing you her latest and greatest designs.  At this time, unfortunately Lori does not have a blog - but I've hinted around with her every time I see her that she really needs to blog or even FaceBook!

Anyhow, here are the photos of Lori's booth - all taken with her permission.  She knows I'm going to blog about her so if you place an order on her website - be sure to let her know you read my blog and saw all the quilt market pictures!

Here's Lori's website address - be sure to visit her page - if you are not familiar with this creative genius - you need to be!

From My Heart To Your Hands Website

Here's the booth photos:

In the next 3 photos you will see a piece of netting strung across the front of the booth.  These photos were taken (with permission) early in the morning prior to market opening for the day.  We designers chuckle at our "makeshift" security system - many of us use nylon netting or tulle pulled across the front of our booths at the end of each day as a measure of security or a kind way of saying - please do not enter our booth while we are away.

Oswego, Illinois Outdoor Quilt Show 2012

Two Saturday's ago I was able to visit the 1st ever Outdoor Quilt Show in Oswego, Illinois.

This show was outstanding!  It was so wonderful to view quilts outside and the lighting was excellent for taking photos - which of course I'll share with you!

Prairie Stitches Quilt Shop of Oswego, Illinois and their employees and many other volunteers worked extremely hard to make this show happen and I'm looking forward to it again in the future.  Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts was their featured Quilt Star 

and she was signing her new book which you might recognize below - and showing her quilts.

And without further ado - here is a link to my photo album of the quilts that I had the pleasure of viewing.  I did my best to photograph each of the tags with each quilt also, but I was not able to do every single one as it was a little windy outside and some of the tag photos just didn't turn out so hot.  Enjoy!!

Heartspun Quilts at Quilt Market

I wanted to share photos of my booth neighbor at this past Spring Quilt market.  This is Pam Buda's booth - owner of Heartspun Quilts.  I had the pleasure of having Pam be my riding buddy as we ventured to Internaional Quilt Market in Kansas City, Missouri a few weeks ago - what a change it was and pure joy to actually have a passenger in my vehicle!  I normally go to these shows alone and having a friend with made the trip so much easier and seem so much shorter!

Also - in case you don't already know it - Pam has her first ever line of fabric coming out with Marcus Brothers sometime this month or early next month!!!  You can view that fabric here at this link:

Here are the photos I took of Pam's booth.  Enjoy looking at them and be sure to visit her website to order her pattern designs!!
