To cut the boredom of Mending Monday I thought you might like some links to International Quilt Market.
If you have had the opportunity to view some of the Spring Quilt Market U-Tube video's I hope you were inspired as I was. If not, I bring you some favorites:
A "Modern" quilter by description, she has a very textural and colorful style. Note the very distinct quilting lines. Now I know how that happens!
This next video is from Kimberly Jolly of the Fat Quarter Shop taking a little tour of her favorite booths at market. Wish I had been there!!! These are the events that make each of us want to open our own shop! Can you imagine how much work that would be? Look for some of the quilts shown in this video to be offered as block of the month projects at Fat Quarter Shop and in your favorite shop. take a look here.
'Ya gotta love the Do-Dads. Debby Duckwork demonstrated some new hexi methods and the current collection of Sewline products. United Notions carries all sorts of great quilting tools. A division of Moda, these products are sold in national chain stores as well as quilt shops. I personally like the glue-pen and the marking pencils. some new notions here..
So, that's it. Thought you might enjoyed the little tour. When I think about how many changes have occurred in the world of quilting in the last few decades I am amazed. I started tracing templates on cardboard onto calico fabric that had a touch of polyester to increase its lifetime. It is true. Now the sky is the limit. Have fun!
***as usual, no one pays me anything to say or not say anything nice or not nice (smile here)
