I'm Ba-ack... Market -the fabrics

Hi Everyone,

I hope you had a chance to follow along on twitter or facebook while I was away. Other than the return flight problems (spent an unplanned night in DFW) I had a great time at Market. I got home yesterday morning. Here are some picures of fabrics and quilts. The people pictures are coming tomorrow.

Echo in all it's glory. It is coming to the shop this month.

Ty's Ties this is the latest collection from Ty Pennington. It will be here in December.

More of the new Impressions fabrics. I am so in love with the medallion fabrics and the leaf fabrics.

And again...

One of my off the beaten path choices

I am hoping to get this fabrics from Cinderberry Stitches. So adorable.

This is a Lark panarama starting from the left side of the booth

Love this dress and pillow That Mrs. B is pretty amazing.

Meet the Gang I ordered two new collections by Marisa too (one is a Christmas line that is so adorable... you will love it)

Outfoxed

Excuse the blur... this is why I always take more than one picture of something (but didn't this time) Pear Tree

Pezzy Mono prints due in January

More Pezzy Mono Prints

And here is Ms. Sandy with her booth

Power Pop is due this month and this is Jenean Morrison it's creator. She is so sweet! Really an adorable lady.

And now for something different Basic Grey's booth. Love those canvases!

My one people picture for today. Mistress Hoey has a platter of goodies. I brought some home for you (just saying).

The view from Lunch on Monday

More of the view from lunch. The white and red building is the convention center.

So sorry for the few words. I had a relapse of the sickies and lost my voice while there. I think everyone was thankful because boy were we loud LOL . Brooke and Sally and I sure made an impression and I am not so sure it was a good one LOL

Back tomorrow with the people pictures.

Talk Soon!

Market Bag and The Gangs All Here

Hi Everyone,

This will be a quick blog post... there is just so much to do before I leave at oh dark thirty tomorrow morning. While I am gone I will be posting sporadically if you follow me on Facebook you will get the whole low down as it happens. Because I now have an HTC Status... so I can post pictures fast and easy :)

As promised a pic of the bag I made myself for Market. I have been wanting to make a bag with my Parisville stash for the longest... so here it is. I made a backpack. It should make things easier. Sally's idea :)

Meet the Gang is all here and in the shop.

And the Pezzy Prints followed the gang home... they all showed up yesterday.

It is possible that the Newsletter might be a day or two late. I will do my best to get it out but since I won't be home it might not get done until I get back. Sorry about that.

I am closing the shop for two days because I won't be able to ship anything until Tuesday. It will be closed Thursday and Friday.

Talk soon!

Market...It's Just a Week Away...

Hi Everyone,

Yes, it  is true. A week from today I will be on a plane to Market... where I will hopefully be able to grab some of this from Sample Spree:

Good Fortune by Kate Spain

I love those colors don't you? Yummy wonderful! (sorry Kate I stole your picture... couldn't help it really!)

Wanna hear something funny? I love it when I go to look at my bank account online and there are several thousand dollars gone... sounds weird I know but that always means something good is coming. Lark will be here Monday and Outfoxed and Meet The Gang should be here soon too... I don't get shipping notices so it is always a fun surprise when it lands on my doorstep.

I posted the few Free Spirit Designer Solids that I got in to the shop... I wish I could take a picture that was like feel-o-vision so you could feel these soft, satiny, delicious fabrics...

The Parrot Blue (last one in second row) is much more vibrant than that and matches the bright teal in Meet The Gang perfectly... I have had my little charm squares out matching things up... I am hoping to carry a nice selection of fabrics that match the new collections coming this fall and winter. Hint: a few of these match the new Ty Pennington collection that is coming in December... I wish I could get pics of it.

Talk soon!

Lark, Outfoxed, and Meet The Gang Oh My!

Hi Everyone,

You know I get a little dizzy and happy when new fabric is coming. Lark will be here next Tuesday (jumps up and down). And rumor has it Outfoxed and Meet The Gang won't be more than a few days behind that.

So in love with that Ivy Bloom in Cinder

So excited about this group!

Fun fun!

Talk soon!

Lot's O' Fun In The Works

Hi Everyone,

Look what I got in the mail yesterday:

A little preview of Outfoxed by Lizzy House and Meet The Gang by Creative Thursday. This came with a letter. It seems the location where Andover has their fabrics bolted was wiped out by Irene along with a bunch of fabric. So Andover shipments will be a bit late arriving. We shall say a prayer for those affected and keep them in our thoughts.


As I mentioned yesteday. I met with my Moda rep, Angela, love that girl. She and her boss brought me a fun little treat bag including some candy that my daughter enjoyed a whole bunch (okay I ate 2 of the jack-o-lantern peeps) and these adorable napkins. So funny:

The small print: on the Owlixer: Take as often as needed. Spike: You only live once. Venom: Serve to your enemies straight from the bottle. Death becomes her: Live Fast Die Pretty. Totally cracks me up!

Of course they were here to show me new fund stuff... here is a tiny taste of what I bought:

Top row: Good Fortune by Kate Spain. Second Row: A Stitch in Color by Malka Dubrawsky. Third Row: Pezzy Prints by American Jane. Twew wuv!  These will all be out in January.

For those of you that have been begging me to get solids I also bought just a few Moda Bella Solids in basic colors. Let me know if you have any requests and I will get what you need.

That is all for today I have a ton of work to do so I better get to it.

Oh... did I mention Little Apples yet today? It is here ... look at this yummy goodness:

I saw something fun last night...

Hi Everyone,

I just happened to be on Twitter when Marisa posted a picture of Meet The Gang that she received.

That really gets the creative juices flowing. It is too bad we have to wait another 4 months to get our hands on some...

But at least a little of this:

Joel Dewberry Heirloom

And this:

Tina Givens Pernilla's Journey

Will be here tomorrow! So exciting!

Talk soon!

Farmer's Wife... are you sick of my yet?

Hi Everyone,

Okay I might be slightly obsessed with:

Farmer's Wife block #3

Farmer's Wife block #4

This quilt along... but really they are so cute and just 6 itty bitty inches...


Oops I forgot to mention.. go check out Marisa's Shop for the most adorable bunny pattern (it matches the style of Meet The Gang) I had to get it because dang it is cute... maybe I will whip one up this weekend :) It can be a little mascot around here when her fabric line shows up... eep I really can't wait for that.

I don't have a lot to say today ... tomorrow is Friday Fun Day so don't miss it. Farm Fresh is in the shop so that might give you a clue as to what is coming tomorrow.

Talk soon!
