Quilt Market was a whirlywind of fabric, friends and (too much) fun and i always leave with a wonderful feeling of knowing that we are creatively connected in our pursuits of happiness. Now wouldn't it be nice if this world were just a teenie bit smaller so we could visit with each other more often? Or better yet, maybe we should petition for our own state! Sewists and crafters welcome. Hey, the southwest is pretty and sprawling and we could take a little chunk from here and there and claim it for our own!
As usual, i didn't take enough photos at Market, so i'm going to sift through what i have and will post them once i finish digging out from my inbox. In the meantime, hope everyone had a very Happy Halloween! Franny went as a possessed feral cat. Spooky!
Kate I had so much fun meeting you and sharing in your custom made Good Fortune predictions, do I really have to wait a year til next time????
ReplyDeleteJust show me that petition, I think Kate State would be a perfect name for such a happy place :))))
Welcome home Kate. Great to hear you had a wonderful time and let your hair down. You deserve too with all the hard work you do all year. Poor wee Franny on Halloween, it must be so scary for the pets, I know how much our pets used to hide. Love the photo of Franny, gorgeous
ReplyDeleteI had so much fun meeting you!
ReplyDeleteYou really do have the cutest cats!
Oh Kate, you can never have TOO MUCH fun. I bet you had just the right amount of fun at Quilt Market. Can't wait to see your pics (now that I've seen everyone else's). Great picture of Franny. She's so cute!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for Good Fortune. There are plenty of pictures of you on everyone's Quilt Market posts...
ReplyDeleteHi Kate, We have been seeing such adorable pics posted around of you at market. So sorry we missed you. I must tell a little tale and let you know your sweet hubby was busy while you were working. Sarah was tickled orange to see his comment on our halloween post. So kind of him. Hope you can take a few days to catch up and rest up before the next big project.
ReplyDeletethe crafty state!, i love it. i'd be in that of course. fabric and yarn stores on every corner . gah! well we can dream.
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure meeting you at Market. I love the Good Fortune quilt you made. That line is too beautiful. My picture with you and of your quilt are on my blog: www.seeaprilsew.blogspot.com Thanks for taking the time to share with me at market.
ReplyDeleteKate, I love your designs. My favorite quote (lately) is: Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass....it's about learning to dance in the rain. -? anonymous or I don't know who to give credit to.
ReplyDeleteI associate that with: Quilting isn't about waiting for the perfect fabric to match the perfect pattern but about learning to weave or quilt your life with the scraps you find. (What a treasure trove Moda sent you!) Quilt and be happy, - Anne Marie D., Needham MA

Kate, I was looking @ a fabric site and almost ended up quilting a candy quilt except I held back due to TMQIP (too many quilts in progress) already. Imagine fat quarters of candy like dots, kisses, etc. etc. and how well that would sell! Hope the idea helps.
ReplyDeleteAlso, fQ's that had edging or binding intended purposes (like a long branch w/ leaves whole length of fabric or any ivy branch, ditto etc.)
