Spring Market 2014

So It has been a week since I left for Spring Market!!  Oh my goodness, it was so very much fun!!!!   This week is also the last week of school and so as much as I wanted to do a lovely post showing your every minute of my amazing 3 days there, times is quickly slipping away.  So I started putting together a mosaic of pictures and quickly realized that it all could be summed up in 2 words.

FRIENDS AND FABRIC



And, even with all of those pictures, I still missed some.  I got to meet and catch up with so many bloggy friends and only remember to take pictures of a few.  It was so great to chat with you ladies!!!   Corey and I even got shushed in a schoolhouse we were whispering so much :)  I was sad when I was leaving because I never ran into Amanda Jean at market and I so wanted to meet her in person, and then who but who did I run into at the airport ;)  Yippee!!!

All around, an amazing Market!!!  And I thought I would finish off with my favorite moment of Market.   Barbara and I were standing in line to meet Leah Day and get a copy of her new book when we turned around to find Eleanor Burns standing behind us in line.  Incredible!!!  We were in line for about 25 minutes  and spent the time chatting with Eleanor and the other people around us like we had known each other for years!!   I tried to play it cool but totally geeked out a few times.  What an amazing memory!!!


It was a fantastic market!!!  My creativity cup is running over and I just want to sew!!!

Happy Quilting to you all :)

  4. Eleanor is very nice. Living here in Southern California I have met her many times and been to her Camp in Julian many times. She is a terrific business woman and model for any quilter

  5. I always live vicariously through all the wonderful quilt bloggers I follow when they go to Market. I eagerly await Fat Quarter Shop posting Schoolhouse to YouTube. Thank you for all the lovely photos, even if you had to rush!
