So have you heard of h + h americas?? It is a newish trade show for all things handmade that has pretty much taken the place of Spring Quilt Market. Like spring market, it is a trade show for people making a living in crafts, so again, not open to the general public. I look forward to being able to attend someday, but for now, I was lucky enough to have some of my quilts attend at this years show!!
This is my Wandering Star quilt, along with the amazing Lissa Alexander from Moda giving a booth tour :) My quilt was the first stop on the tour so a grabbed a still from Lissa's video. I have to say, getting asked to make a sampler of my own quilt design, so awesome!!! Wandering Star will be the newest Happy Quilting Pattern coming this summer!! You all know I love stars, and combining two different stars in this quilt was oh so much fun!! I am also teaching this quilt at Garden of Quilts in September, so fun :) And as you can see, the stunning fabrics I made this with are called Seaglass Summer by Sweetfire Road. It will be available in Jan 2025, and it is just gorgeous!! Of course, I was totally drawn to it because of those perfect purple prints :)
And those were the quilts that I made hanging in the h + h americas quilt show ;) And it is also why I was a little quieter in April here, as I was behind the scenes making all 3 of these, tee hee hee. I am so hoping that next year, or maybe the year after that, I will get to go and see the show in person!!
Did you watch any of the booth tours from the show?? The nice thing is, there is so much video and social media, it is "almost" like you are there in person anyways ;)
