These photo's are borrowed from my dear friend Daria at Botique Caffe because well, my camera is broken :C

So I will have to rely on others to give you a look at what was truly awesome at market this go around.

As usual, there was no shortage of talent and creativity at the show.  The work and countless hours of sleepless nights, sore backs and swollen feet paid off because I think it was an amazing market!

Here are some shots for you..... Enjoy!

Quilt Market 2009

Quilt Market Pittsburgh, 2009

Wow! I am still recovering from Quilt Market in Pittsburgh.

It's always a lot of fun, and a lot of work, but worth every minute!

I can't tell you how many times we drove over this mustard yellow bridge going back and forth from Ikea, Target, Pannera, and to the airport. Thing is, there are several that look just like it, why not paint each one a different color, then one might know if you were on the wrong bridge or not...... just a suggestion ;).

I'm curious, who picked this color anyhow?

I am sad to admit, that I didn't take may of my own pictures this time. So, thanks to all of you bloggers who are posting your own, I will be borrowing some of my favorites here to share with all my peep's (giving proper credit naturally! :) I'll be posting pictures as I collect them this next week. I hope you enjoy!

Here is my sister Lila's Booth in Santorini for Moda! It took 1st place for new exhibitors! She totally deserved it! After loosing her voice completely on the plane ride to Pittsburgh, she managed to pull off market with style! Stella (the lovely and talented mannequin) we feel, was a big hit! Lila made her from scratch! That was a lot of work, but it showed off her talent to be unique and think out of the box ;)

This is Patty Young who designs for Michael Miller and my niece Chelsea of Pink Fig Patterns. Two creative ladies! I adore them both!

Patty's new fabric line is called Mezzanine

Patty and her husband Jon who built this booth,

(nice work Jon!).

I shall have more to come... but it's 2am and I need to get to sleep!

Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

And the winner is......

I have to brag for a moment and tell you that I won a blog contest! I have this new favorite link made by some sassy-cool girls I met at Quilt Market called Boutique Cafe. They run random drawings etc. from time to time. I commented on a pod cast they did on Tina Givens and I won!!! (I never win). I've been waiting for this package and finally, it came!

This is what I got...

8 yds. of fabulous fabric from the Chloe's Imagination Collection by Tina Givens!

I got to choose from 5 different colorways and let me tell you, that was very difficult to do! Oberone Red is what I chose.

What made it even more special, was that it had this little card sent from Tina herself!

Here are some samples of my favorites from this collection....

You can read more about Tina in my earlier posts featuring Tina's marvelous booth in Portland, or check out her interview under the Boutique Cafe link below!

I am so excited to make some wonderful things with this beautiful fabric... I'll keep you posted on my creations! Thanks Boutique Cafe! and Thank you Tina Givens!
