Quilt Market is over for another year….it’s been an interesting experience.
Di and I spent the past two days on the floor, filming interviews…
Robyn Pandolph, Jackie Robinson, Kaye England to name a few and many of the fabric companies… Moda, Northcott, Timeless Treasures…etc
Di’s a natural…. Except, she’s not too good as announcing, “and now back to the studio” grin…….!
We’ll make a small movie for Di’s Open Day at the end of June…
I’m so excited about my book. It looks wonderful.. It seems to grow each time we review it… at this stage its 250 pages. I chatted with Jenny Beyer, who is also published by Breckling Press, her book is just beautifully presented… and they have just launched a wonderful book by Nancy Crow book. It’s a must for all of you who love strong graphics, wonderful design. Nancy explains her creative process; it’s a rare insight into the mind of one of our most eminent quilters. Look at the URL below.

Attending market is an exhausting process for those on the floor. There is so much to see and do and you feel brain dead at the end… however, it’s a positive re-enforcement of the future of the Quilting Industry…. I even saw knitting needles with bright lights in the tips for knitting at night!!!! A product of Clover.
I’ve had a sleepless night, my daughter is in labor 1000’s of miles away… our long awaited baby girl is about to join the real world….she’s very late but Daughter Rachael is carrying on the family tradition of extra long pregnancies…
Now we can play for a few days... the bags are packed and we're off to home town Long Prairie for a few days to take in the life of the rural mid west.
