Quilt Market Fall 2015

Quilt Market is always a blast and always seems to fly by way too fast! We shared some pictures on Facebook and Instagram from my travels at Market and wanted to compile them in one place for you! I hope that if you weren’t able to go, these pictures will help you feel like you were there with me!

For several years I’ve been helping Michael Miller Fabrics put up and take down their booth. I did it again this year and had a great time with great friends!

The boxes of props and decor for the booth was never ending! So much cool stuff to play with though.

We did take occasional breaks, they were each well deserved!!

After setup I got to enjoy Quilt Market and walk around. I didn’t really have a set schedule which was nice!

Such incredible talent this awesome friend has!

This summer Sizzix sent me some sweet stuff to play with and my daughter and I made these dolls. It was cool to meet the creator of the doll die in person!

Kerry Goulder was so cool! I really enjoyed the Sizzix Booth!

 

Later that day I ran into Vanessa at the Schoolhouse! So fun running into MSQC family!

This was probably one of my favorite booths! The colors and patterns spoke to my soul. I NEED this fabric!

My friend Patty Sloniger's booth with Michael miller love the colors obviously! So fresh!

I can officially say I’ve met Tim Holtz, such a cool, talented guy!

I even got to meet Tim Holtz! Everyone went wild over my Gears Quilt saying that I should use his fabric, now I know why! Not only is his fabric awesome, he's a super cool guy!

The owner’s of Missouri Star Quilt Company brought this to Market after going to Sunday’s game in KC. Of course I had to get a picture with it. Go Royals!!! Game 1 of the World Series against the Mets is tonight!

On Sunday the Royals won a big game that took them to the World Series!

A couple of photos from Instagram! One I reposted from Missouri Star and the other from @jennykaequilts!

The crew at MSQC were a blast to hang out with. This is a secret but I’m still starstruck when I see Jenny and I’ve been working with her for almost a year now… Shhh

I wish it wasn’t the last day of quilt market!! #Repost @jennykaequilts ・・・ I got to see Rob Appell again. Thanks, Rob, for the advice and encouragement! #jennykaequilts #mansewing #quiltmarket 2015 A photo posted by Man Sewing with Rob Appell (@mansewing) on


Meeting fans at market was so rewarding. When I teach to a camera I never know who’s going to watch the tutorials.

All in all, Quilt Market was a success! Time to go catch up on sleep and work on some projects for you all!
