Quilt Market held annually in Houston, TX has come and gone again – time flies.   It is FLYING by – can you say Thanksgiving in 2.5 weeks – EEK!

We had a great market and we are excited to share some of what was shown in our booth!   This show is for trade only, we show our latest fabric collections to shop owners, pattern companies and magazines.  Since we think that no one should be left out of the fun,  here is a peek at our booth and upcoming fabric lines.  These lines are going to hit shops in March, April and May of next year so if you see something you love,  show this to your local shop and maybe they will order!  Shop owners love input from consumers!

Let’s start at the beginning with our Sneak Peek display.  It’s a little showcase at the front of the convention center that we decorate to give a little hint of what’s being shown in our booth!   At this market, it was all about “Gnome Matter What”… a new line from Alicia Jacobs Dujets for I&A.  It’s “totes adorbs” and well, right on trend with the flamingos in one of the prints…

Side note:  Flamingos were EVERYWHERE at market – it was great to see the pretty pink flamingos making themselves known to the world.  So glad that we are “in” on the flamingo fun…

As you can see – we had fun with yo-yos!  You can never – EVER – have enough yo-yos… just sayin’… you’ll see more yo-yo fun in our booth!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These whimsical lawn ornaments are ready to play in pretty peachy pink, softly sweet lilac with sassy sage green.  So fun!  Now that we have peaked your interest, let’s head over to the booth!

Our inspiration was yo-yos and circles and we had fun making a feature installation in our booth with a mix of paper circles and and fabric yo-yos!  What better way to show off the fun of our fabrics?

Cute prints accented with our Pixie Dot yo-yos.   This makes me smile! 🙂

We wanted to show our collections at-a-glance and decided to continue the circle theme – here are all 20 of our thematic fabric groups (not including our Pixie Dots) to show everyone what we have to offer.  So much fun!

Excited to see more? We definitely have more to share – stay tuned for our next re-cap installment!

 

 

 

 

It’s that time of year, our International Quilt Market in Houston, TX is this week and, well, we are very excited!

Lots of preparation, planning, collaboration and running around culminates in an awesome event for us and the industry.  Our booth will have a little more space than last time and we are excited to share the experience with those of you who cannot attend.

Until the post-market wrap up, here are some photos of our pre-market prep and a little sneak peek of what we’ll be offering!

Speaking of Pixies…  we have a cute feature display highlighting pixie yo yos and our prints… we are excited to show it off!  Our City Life Randy Rhino (Funky Friends Factory pattern) is very protective of the pixie dot feature wall 🙂

and speaking of our friends at Funky Friends Factory – here is Fleur the Flamingo ready to debut one of our newest collections, “Gnome Matter What” by Alicia Jacobs Dujets…

She’s acting quite demure but is really ready to bring the party to Quilt Market!

If you are in the industry and are attending, swing by our booth #2434 and introduce yourself to Fleur- she loves to network with our friends!!!

It’s official!  Almost a month into the fall season and we LOVE it!  Falling leaves in vibrant colors, crisp air, apple picking and of course, quilting!

Here are a couple of our very fall-friendly collections to get you inspired.  These beauties are in shops now and are perfect to use when making a hostess gift or to spruce up your kitchen or dining table.  It’s never too late to pick up these fab fabrics and get creative!

First up, Harvest Bounty by Nicole Tamarin.  See the whole collection here on our website!

We are proud of how our designs translate from artwork to fabric – these are stunning!

You may have a special project you are working on and need the perfect blender.  Harmony is the answer!  There are 84 different colors to choose from in flat and flannel cotton.  Check out this gorgeous photo below showing Harmony as the perfect coordinate to any project!

Bountiful Blessings by Liz Goodrick-Dillon for QT is a wonderful, traditional mini-collection which includes this 36″ wide by 44″ high panel and supporting coordinates to create a statement piece!  The text print would make great wine bottle bags to use for your next hostess gift!

For those of us who can NEVER have enough of the gorgeous foliage from the fall season, here is an option.  Our digitally printed ArtWorks design “In Love with Fall Again” by Lars Van der Goor of Galaxy of Graphics for QT is shown below.   Just another example of how you can feature our  Harmony blender program to compliment any design!

Do I smell pumpkin pie and apple crisp?   Soon, very soon!  Enjoy these fabrics and stop by your local quilt shop to find your perfect fall fabrics!
