Fun at Fall Market.

l have been enjoying my first experience at Market. Meeting so many new people, 

and hanging with wonderful designers.

 Here is Bonnie Sullivan and Kathy Schmitz in their booth. Lovely to chat to, 

and their new book French Inspirations for Artful Hands is a must have.

 Here is Laurie Simpson and Polly Minick. Again, both lovely to chat to, and 

just love their booth.

Found Deirdre hanging out at the Quiltmania booth.

And also Brandon Marly with his spookie Halloween  head wear.

Found Paula Barnes Bonnie Blue booth, and enjoyed a chat with her. Looking forward to 

buying some of her fabric at market. Both her quilts and fabrics are so inspiring.

Also had a great chat with Annemarie Yohnk  from Quilts Remembered in her booth. Her small quilts are wonderful, and mostly made using Jo Morton fabrics, of which l am a huge fan, so a stop in this booth was a must

Have been a huge fan of Renee Plains of Liberty Star  for many years,
and was delighted to finally meet with her.

My stashbuster group has been making quilts from Renee's patterns for years.

Her book is a must have. ( sorry its sideways. Blogger!!  )

Then the ever delightful Barb Adams and Alma Allen from Blackbird Designs.
l meet these lovely designers in Australia one year when they came to teach,
and it was lovely to re-meet them.

 Can't wait to get started on something from their new book.

A Schoolgirls Work.

               Of course, no visit to market would not be complete 

without visiting with Jo Morton and her gang.

Cindy on the left, and Mary Anne in the middle.
Just love those girls. Big hugs to all 3 of you.

Jo's new book, Prairie Flowers Encore is now available, 

and another must have in your library.

Of course, hanging with the The Quilted Crow Girls  was a big MUST, 

and we have been having a ton of fun, and more to come.
That's my travel partner, Anne, in the middle.

                                         Can't wait for their new book, which will be out in May

Here are the girls ringing home with the good news.

Then we attended the book signing for Betsy and Carol's new book History Repeated. 

Waited in line for 45 mins to be the first ones.

If you don't already have this book, run, don't walk, to your nearest quilt shop. Its to die for!!

Well, that's pretty much a wrap-up from Market. Lots more fun was had, but you know, 

what happens at market stays at market!! 

Though l could be convinced to share more pics at a late date!!! LOL

Festival starts tonight, and a whole lot more great happenings to share soon. 

Stay tuned and thanks for visiting,.
