So, at Quilt Market I was so lucky to meet some really fabulous people. It's amazing how quickly you can instantly connect when you share one big common interest.
On Saturday night I went out to dinner some fun ladies that I didn't know before, but now feel like I'm good friends with: Mirynda (Fabric Hound), Renee, Kristen (Gocks's Frocks), Jamie (Maricopa Fabrics), and her mom Lori. We went to this really nice restaurant up on hill looking out at this view:
Food was delicious and we even had a a free bottle of champagne sent over to us by the Seven Islands guys (who import Echino) because apparently Mirynda did a lot of shopping with them that day!
We rode down a incline tram thingy afterwards. Some of them thought the giant foot long pencils were too cool and brought them back for the kids. Things got a little funny later with the "knitting" with them...
Anyway, I've got a ton more booth pictures to share, so here we go:
Indygo Junction Patterns (the tunic Myrinda was wearing above was so in demand I couldn't even get a copy)
Vanilla House Designs.
Check out their cute baby "activity" mat.
Lecien. Those adorable bags are a free pattern by Melly and Me. I'n sure I'll be making one in the near future.
Loved these pinwheels at Lakehouse.
This is Amy Hamberlin's Kati Cupcake booth. Too cute.
And while we're looking at patterns, we can't forget Favorite Things. I especially love the coat.
Art Gallery Fabrics had a really beautiful vibe.
And, of course, the yumminess over at the Seven Island section.
Heather Ross had a book signing, but sadly I missed it.
Oliver + S always has such a beautiful clean aesthetic.
It was sad how few pictures I got of the Free Spirit section. Just a couple quilts. the first is Dena Designs new collection, Monaco, for which Scott Hansen designed/made the quilt.
And Erin McMorris's new collection, Wildwood.
OK I'm almost done with the Market stuff. I have some shots of the beautiful quilts on display that I'll share next time.

These are great images of the Market! I work for Indygo Junction - I'm actually the one in the black shoes and blue, green & brown "Modern House Coat" in the booth picture. Thanks so much for posting pics of our booth. Cheryl

All the pictures are so awesome! The last quilt show I went to (in Del Mar, CA) didn't allow photos of any kind. I wish I could have taken photos!

What great pictures. I would love to go to one of these shows. Did you have to attend this even to get the Melly & Me bag pattern? I have looked all over the net and can't find those bags. I would love to make a few for my girls!
