Writing a recap of Quilt Market is always so daunting. It’s so much to take in visually and otherwise before your head wants to start exploding, and then even harder to break down, go through tons of pictures, and process them so that I’m able to share it coherently. I’ve done the best I could. Get ready for lots of images. I’m going to break things up into two posts.
Clockwise: New Art Gallery designer Bonnie Christine and her beautiful booth, Angela Walters incredible quilting, Pat Bravo’s Carnaby Street collection (how could I pass up a Union Jack couch?!) and cute Jeni Baker’s new collection, Nordika (think modern scandinavian). Some super cool prints in there. I’m especially loving the bird panel on the bag on the right.
All right, break time. To see Part 2 go here.

Thanks for sharing!!!<br /><br />You're not a Sandy Stalker, you're her ABC inspiration! 🙂 I am drooling over her new line too. <br /><br />And you can never have too many solids. A good basic. 🙂

THANKS! for showing me the quilt I quilted hanging on the wall! YAY! I didn't get to go to Spring Market. The one I got to work on is in the 4th picture, lower row, on the left. The fabric is Sunshine by Kate Spain for MODA. THANKS AGAIN! I"m saving your pic.

Great photos and recap, thanks! Alison Harris is one of my favourite pattern designers. Isn't she tall? She looks like she could be a WNBA player!
