Today was the last full day of Market 🙁 We still have one more morning to go, then back home to TX! Of course we’ve got more pics to share, some especially exciting ones (according to me)!

This morning was so much fun — there was a “tweet-up” organized by THE April Cornell. Barb & Mary had a book signing! We tried to recapture all the photos we’d lost yesterday! All the while being whisked from fabric appointment to fabric appointment! And meeting new pattern designers! It’s a lot, but only our feet are complaining 😛

Don’t forget to enter our Rouenneries and Authentic Fat Quarter Bundles giveaway by commenting or tweeting! Ends Monday, we’ll post the winners that day!

  19. I’ve just finished studying all of your pictures from market. I want to thank you very much for opening up this whole part of our quilting world for those of us that have never been to market. I love getting a glimpse into what goes on “behind the scenes”. Reading your blog, twitter and seeing all of the pictures makes me want to work even harder to be there. Thank you.

  34. Thanks for letting me be there through your pictures. Oh how fun but exhausting it must be. I love it all!

  38. Hey Jolly friends,

    I waited until tonight to post about what I really wanted to see and hear about from market because my real desire was to experience, at least vicariously, the feeling of being there — the excitement of seeing all of those new things — the FQ bundles stacked up like presents under the Christmas tree. And I wanted the feeling of being able to, at least in my imagination, get something brand new, the minute it first comes out, not to have to wait until the clearance sales next year at this time to think about being able to afford something, and then trying to find it. I grew up with second-hand clothes from older cousins (and that was a treat) and when I started sewing, the fabric came from the local Ben Franklin or one of the mail order catalogs (Sears, Wards, not Keepsake Quilting or Hancocks of Paducah!). And always on sale — often ordered by my mother at the real bottom of the bargain pages (girls’ dresses, $x.xx, “no choice” or 10 yards, mixed cotton fabrics, $x.xx, no choice). We weren’t “poor” poor, but there were six of us kids and we lived in a small town in rural North Dakota.

    And then I learned about what was out there in the world — department stores where you could actually CHOOSE things, what real quality was, the range of things I never knew existed. But — I still can’t afford to just walk in and buy something, especially now that I am on disability. I want to have something brand new, not previously used, not bought on final clearance, and you’ve let me experience that, at least in my imagination. Now I just want to see you open up those bundles and spread them all over your bed or the floor, all mixed up with the other goodies you come home with, and imagine myself just sitting in the middle of such riches, feeling the fabrics and looking at them and moving them around and imagining what they can become.

    So I’d really love to win one of the FQ bundles, and if I had my choice, I’d take the Rouenneries. I love antique textiles, and I love the story behind the fabric.

    Thank you so much for letting me travel with you through this market adventure — my weekend “stay-cation” (tho I hate made-up words like that).

    Brenda

    P.S. I also really, really want the “I Believe in Santa” quilt you showed — I presume you will have the pattern? That was my big indulgence this spring, on sale, of course 🙂 — my reward to myself for having reached the one-year mark without smoking!

  40. Ummm, is it wrong to want everything in every booth pic you showed??? I am in awe of these incredible designers and manufacturers that supply us with an astounding array of DELICIOUS-NESS (it’s gotta be a word, right?!).
    Completely inspiration! So exciting to see all these new lines unfold before our hungry eyes in the coming months!
    Thanks for the JOY!!! I needed it!!!

  42. Thank you so much for this tour of the market! I can’t wait to get my hands on some of those great quilt patterns I’m seeing. The Fig Tree ones looks amazing!

  45. thanks for all the pictures. oh just to be there once……a fabriholic’s dream come true, better than Disney World. love all the booths and new fabrics. hope I’m not too late for the give-away.
    we have a long week-end here in Canada and we were visiting the
    grand-kids.

  46. WOW!!! I am overwhelmed by the huge variety and wonderful colors of all you are seeing. I must sew my way across the piles in my sewing room so I can make space for some of these new goodies when you start selling them. Thanks for all the eyecandy.

  47. AWESOME post! I didn’t get to see a lot of Market, so this was really fun to read. You guys are everywhere!! Good seeing you!

  48. Thanks so much for the shout out! I'm actually doing a giveaway for that little fish on my blog right now. Market was so much fun and I can't wait to go to Houston in the fall!
