OK so since I might be the very last person to finish posting about Quilt Market, I give you permission to skip ahead to the giveaway...
But if you're looking for more eye candy, enjoy!
Jillily Studio served actual cones of sorbet! How cute is that booth?
I couldn't get over this puppy embroidery by Penguin and Fish.
Tula Pink's new Prince Charming.
I'm loving Summersault by Erin McMorris...
Wrenly by Valorie Wells.
Michelle and Gina at Cloud 9.
Lots of Kokka fun.
Joel Dewberry chatting on the phone in his booth. Heirloom and the new patterns by his wife might be my favorite things from market.
Moda land was like a country fair.
Sweetwater.
Fig Tree and Co.
I think this is my fav picture from market. This vignette is from the Basic Grey booth, so is the picture below.
Zen Chic had a very distinctive modern aesthetic and won a booth award.
I love this new dress pattern by Sew Serendipity.
Notice the bathrobe in the Indygo Junction booth is made in my Gingko fabric? Sweet!
Quilt Story.
Now for the giveaways:
1. A copy of the adorable Moda Bake Shop book, Fresh Fabric Treats, signed by several of the authors, a copy of Fabric Trends, and a mini tote from the Sweet Hot Yams party.
2. A Kona color card, signed copy of Organizing Solutions for Every Quilter, a 1001 peeps notebook and bookmark, and a pack of charm squares.
To enter simply leave a comment here by Tues June 14th. I can't think of anything to ask you except I'd love travel destination suggestions. I've just been toying with where we might want to go in the next few years. I'm open to anywhere in the world, family vacation or just me and the hubby. I like to dream about these things for a long time in advance...

The more pics of Market there are, the better I like it. So thx. :)
Wherever you travel, I say choose one spot and stay there until you've examined every nook and cranny. Don't take a tour.

What great photos - I almost feel like I was there! Thanks!
My fiancee and I went to Croatia last September, and it was incredible! We stayed along the coastline, and the water views were just stunning...Rijeka, Split, and Dubrovnik were our main destinations. Next time, I think we'll spend more time in the northern part from Rijeka to Split and see more of the islands. Gorgeous, gracious people (and they tend to speak English quite well!), and the food was incredible!
We also just got back from a great trip to New Orleans, if you are looking for something a little closer to home!

For international travel - I love South Africa. Where else can you play with a baby cheetah and go on wine tours in one day?
But this year we are doing the east coast beach thing. So I can take my dog :)

I just got back from Key West. Loved it! I'd love to visit one of our national parks, maybe Yellowstone.

I loved you quilt market recap. Out of all the photos I've seen, I like yours the best! They are sort of "behind the scene" shots, and I really enjoyed them.

I haven't traveled much in the last few years at all, so I'm drawing a blank on anything new and different. Italy is my dream va-cay...
Love package #2, I am so anxious to get my hands on a new Kona Color card!

I went to Alaska 2 years ago in August... a word of advice: August is not the time to visit, it had already turned back to cool/rainy/cloudy. Go in July instead!

Thanks for the eye candy from market! I love to see it! As far as destination suggestions, I have a couple of them. First is Bora Bora. My husband and I went there on our honeymoon and stayed in one of the over the water bungalows. We were just talking about it last night and how we were glad we had that experience. It was like no other place I have ever been, untouched true tropical beauty, so raw in comparison to Hawaii. Took us 24 hours to get there flying out of Louisville, KY. The 2nd suggestion is Alaska. My husband and I went there to celebrate our 10th anniversary a couple of summers ago. We went at the end of June and it was perfect, although a little weird that it never completely got dark. We hiked on a glacier, saw moose, the salmon fishermen, tons of eagles, and much more. If you go there, don't miss Talkeetna. Loved both of these vacations. (Sorry for writing a book!)

At the risk of sounding like the Hawaii Visitor's Bureau, I'll suggest Hawaii. Weather is always delightful, you don't need a passport or foreign currency & we could use the boost to our economy!

Of the places I've been, my favorite is Yellowstone Nat'l Park! I've never traveled outside of the USA, but if I could I'd love to see some of Africa and New Zealand.
