An Exciting Announcment...QAL with traceyjay

Hi Everyone,

Here is a little something that has been in the works for the last month or two. One of my sweet friends (who you might know from Moda Bake Shop fame) has designed this super sweet quilt called Treasure Boxes.... wait let me start at the beginning... I have been a fan of Tracey's for a few years now and when she decided to start an Etsy shop to benefit a Mission in Haiti called Heartline (if you have been around a while here you have heard me talk about it) she and I partnered up. We had a little hiccup (happily) when she got pregnant with her daughter and had to let this go for a little while but we are getting it back on track. As you know I support Heartline every month with profits from the shop and that is what made me decide to start the shop in the first place.... fast forward to a month or so ago when Tracey asked if I would like to partner with her to do a Quilt Along to benefit charity... well, of course! So was born the Treasure Boxes Quilt Along:

Here is a picture of one of the quilts she has made with this pattern:

And for this quilt along she will be making it from Out to Sea if you decide to join the Quilt Along there is a special deal for the fabrics to make it. I will let you read about it over here on Tracey's blog

I hope you decide to join us!

In other news Sew Stitchy from Aneela Hoey is in the shop (I will get IRL pictures this afternoon) this is my favorite print (I think) so far:

I also bought all of the Bella Solids that match to make it easy for you to dream up your perfect quilt with this.

I have all of the Riley Blake Small Chevrons in and most of the Medium ... for some reason they didn't send me the red and white... Argh.  And Avignon should be in soon as well.

Have an awesome Wednesday!

Talk soon...

Market - The People

Hi Everyone,

Here is my second post about Market... tomorrow you get to see what I picked up at Sample Spree... The people are the most important part though right? So without further ado... here are some of the people we rubbed shoulders with: (excuse the photo quality they were all taken on my cell phone)

Sally and Brooke at the Airport. I came in a little earlier than Brooke so Sally and I were there waiting ... we screamed her name as she came toward baggage claim LOL



Candice- one of our besties from The Quilted Fish's creative consultant team... waiting in line for Sample Spree

In Sample Spree with Amanda Herring (The Quilted Fish)

Ack look at my hair...oy I hate having my picture taken... I love Kate Spain though ... sweetest girl ever.

I was bending down... she liked that... Mistress Hoey is so adorable. I couldn't believe she remembered me :)

Sally and Khristian A. Howell she is so sweet and wait til you see what she has coming for spring it will knock your socks off.

Sally and Natalie of Cinderberry Stitches she is adorable and now when I read her blog it is in her cute accent :)

 

Sally and Lynette Anderson I have a story about her read below. 

Everyone was wonderful I hate having my picture taken... and why oh why did I wear something like that on the first day of the show??? I am so stupid... okay enough...

Poor Lynette Anderson and her husband were on my flight from Houston to DFW it was an hour late and they missed their flight home (so did I) it was much worse for them than any of the rest of us. They live in Australia and Qantas has been on strike for a few weeks. So all  of the passengers have been backed up trying to get home. The last I saw them the ticket agent was saying the first flight out was next Sunday (6 days) Lynette's husband was going to miss a lot of work it was really really bad. So here is praying that they got home sooner.

Okay ... back tommorrow with my haul from Sample Spree... hope you are having a wonderful week.

Talk soon!

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

Hi Everyone,
