Houston Quilt Market 2008 – Fun treasures!
By Serena Smith | November 4, 2008
I did manage to pick up some treasures at Quilt Market which is always a fun treat! Don’t you just feel deprived if you come home from a quilt show without anything???
Fabric Freedom is a fabric line that Brewer Quilting & Sewing Supplies carries and one that I have been wanting to try. Their selection of marble/batiks looks perfect for an embroidery background, so I picked up several fat quarter bundles to try some stitching.
Fabric Freedom Fat Quarter Bundles I have had the Latte Quilt on my mind the last couple of months, partly because I am getting ready to teach that quilt next year. So it seems that everywhere I looked, I was drawn to neutral colors. But I found these medallions that looked so neat and see the colors I picked out – ivory, taupe and brown! :)
tassel medallions This little beaded purse and colorful butterfly buttons are a just because. I didn’t really have a reason for purchasing either one…it was just because they caught my eye. Don’t you ever have a “just because” purchase?
beaded purse and butterfly buttons Benartex has some beautiful new collections coming in the next couple of months and I picked up several bundles. These fabrics are not even listed online yet, but there’s a cute collection from Mary Lou Weidman called “happiness is…” with some fun little children themed prints. Plus Marianne Elizabeth has a breathtaking collection entitled “Laurel Cottage” of florals in a pink and blue colorway! Just too gorgeous to pass up!
Benartex bundlesThese little take out boxes caught my eye and I just couldn’t resist. Snuggled inside are several yards of cording in various colors to be couched on or various other uses. I have to admit the packaging is what sold me on these. Oh and notice the ivory/taupe colors again! :)
cording take out boxes I was making my way to the door, finished for the day and then I spotted the RJR booth with this soft, elegant collection. Oh my, I’m just itching to be making something with it! It’s called Sumptuous Living by Robyn Pandolph. I can just see a MarJen for Error quilt created from these fabrics. I really don’t need a third MJE quilt, but oh is it hard to not think of stitching another one with these fabrics!
