Today was Schoolhouse! For anyone who hasn’t attended Quilt Market before, Schoolhouse is a day packed full of lectures, classes, and demonstrations presented by designers, fabric companies, authors and anyone who has something new to show. Each session ranges from 10 minutes to an hour or more, and it is a constant go-go-go as you rush from class to class (just like real school, except you don’t feel like playing hooky). It’s a great time to connect with industry figures and catch a glimpse of the Market to come.

How do I carry all of this stuff?
I went to school and forgot my lunch!
You will not believe everything I got in these bags! Serious Loot!
If I didn't know better, I'd say "Left holding the bag(s)," but
I have a feeling those were his bags full of goodies!
And I told the TSA agent I can sew fit all of this in one carry on bag!
"Oh YES I DID!"
You want this?! Too bad all mine! Na Na Na
