Quilt Market Spring 2012: Goodbye Kansas City!

32 Comments
We’re sad to say that Quilt Market Spring 2012 has officially come to an end for us. We hope you enjoyed experiencing it all right along with us; there were definitely tons of amazing things to see! (In case you missed it, we only have about a million and a half photos posted on Facebook and Flickr, not to mention all our tweets on Twitter…#quiltmarket)! 
And now, before we have to go, we’d love to show you just a little more of the amazingness! Oh, and the winner, we almost forgot! This year’s Booth Winner was…
1st Place Single Booth: Bari J.
1st Place Double Booth: Art Gallery Fabrics
1st Place Multiple Booth: Michael Miller Fabrics! 
They seriously deserved to win, too! Just look at these booths:
Bari J. for Art Gallery Fabrics
Art Gallery Fabrics
Michael Miller Fabrics
Everything at Market was amazing this year! We all had so much fun and loved seeing everything. Despite the wide variety of fabric and projects, though, we each had our own favorite…
Kim has fallen in love with Marmalade by Bonnie & Camille for Moda Fabrics.
Kevin cant wait for the Dr. Seuss Snuggles to come in! They are so soft and minky and should be here any day now!
Debbie has claimed that Pam Kitty Love just might be her favorite collection of all time!

Sarah took an instant liking to Out to Sea by Sarah Jane for Michael Miller Fabrics.
Jocelyn loves the whimsy of Gypsy Girl by Lily Ashbury for Moda Fabrics.

Stephanie was a big fan of Amy Butler’s new collection, Cameo.
Jessica was immediately drawn to the vibrant colors and clean print in Simply Color by V & Co. for Moda Fabrics.
Aren’t those collections great?! Watch for them all on our Coming Soon page! It’s hard to believe we have to leave the beautiful world of Market and go back to Texas now…but don’t be too sad–we still have a few good tricks up our sleeve!
We are planning on announcing the 3 lucky winners of some fabulously great new Moda collections in tomorrow’s post! Seriously folks, don’t miss it! That lucky winner could be you!
And, we will also be recapping something we are very, very proud of…22 It’s Sew Emma projects all displayed throughout Market! Can you believe it?! We are so proud and thankful for all the positive reactions we have gotten to our quilts and patterns; we couldn’t have done it without all of you!

So, now that we’ve got you all pumped up and excited for our final Market blog post tomorrow, we must say goodbye! That’s right, we’ve got a plane to catch!
