We have been planning for this day for quite a while…..and to say we were a bit nervous might be an understatement. (okay, mostly I was nervous….Mom can and will talk to anyone, anytime about anything!!)   We were very excited also, and couldn’t wait to share our ideas with such a big group.
We had [...]

I was able to get a picture of the April Cornell, Spring Magic baby quilt we put together ….However, the lighting is terrible and I apologize.  (I will get a better one soon)
Anyway, this quilt went together pretty easily….we used one honey bun and BAM,  a baby quilt!  Colorful and bright, yet sweet and simple.  [...]

I am sure that you all have a few thousand pounds of scraps in your stash.  Those beloved bits of your favorite fabric….you know what I am talking about, right!?   (We used Riley Blake, April Cornell, American Jane, Tula Pink and other various scraps.)
Well, we decided to make some cute little clips with the fabric [...]

So, I have good intentions….I mean really good intentions!  I intended on blogging this whole week.  Giving you the ‘Quilt Market” hook up….it just didn’t happen.  And, I am sorry!  Life gets in the way sometimes, you know.
We are knee deep in expansion remodel over here. It is wonderful and hectic all at the same [...]

My stack list of things to do today:
weed my flower bed, for one last time.
mow my yard
make cinnamon rolls
laundry
clean the house
start on a few Christmas gifts  (you know, of the quilting variety)
Do you ever feel completely over whelmed with what is on your ‘list’ ???  Today I am actually grateful that I have these things [...]

Hey all!
We’ve received so much great feedback about the Quilt-A-Thon for Quilts 4 Kids coming up on October 24th. Thank you so much for all the support, it truly is a GREAT cause. In case some of you newer quilters (ahem…like me) are feeling a bit shy, I thought I’d link to some super simple [...]

Man, us girls had a blast at Market…..Just imagine a ton of people together sharing a common love for something.  Ahh, wouldn’t the world be a better place if we all quilted? (and loved fabric??)  Teeheeheh, I know not that funny….but really.  It was pretty cool to get to be with so many in the [...]

Oh man, we had so much fun.  So much amazing ‘eye’ candy and great new things coming out this year!  We are excited about so many new lines of fabric that we could literally scream! 
I have a ton of pictures still to share with you (and some video) but have had a computer [...]

So more market fun.  There are seriously tons of vendors here.  We just wonder from booth to booth to booth looking for new fun stuff you all will love and meeting the brilliant minds behind the creativity that we all love!  So a few more photos -
And then some new Michael Miller designers, Pillow & [...]

Well we’re on our way home, we couldn’t make it another day.  Too much quilting for our weak hearts!  We had a blast and saw all we came to see so we’ll count this trip a huge success!  I’ll try and finish sharing the photos I’ve snagged throughout, so here’s a few more [...]

Let me tell you about sample spree here at the International Quilt Market.  The idea is that all the designers give away their upcoming fabric so people can get a jump on it and make some samples and get their customers excited about the fabrics and patterns so when it hits the stores, it will [...]

The amazingness continues. I just met Eleanor Burns from the “Quilt in a Day” series!  She is so sweet.  I’ll tell you more about the new stuff tomorrow, but today is still just meeting people and learning learning learning

I feel like such a stalker… but it’s my Rivera ways….. so I know you’re dying to find out, but get this…. Amy Butler just put on lipstick…. I know…. awesome.

I am sitting in class with Paula Prass…  how cool is this lady!?  Jealous much?

Just sat through a class with Anna Maria Horner where she was showing off some of her new fabrics and such.  You’re gonna love her new stuff!  I’ll get pictures of the fabric soon.  I asked her where she wanted to take her new line and she said that it was more of [...]
