A Fat Quarter is NOT a Body Part!

Today was the first day of quilt market for us. The day was packed full of classes - we each took 16-17 different 30 minute classes. We saw lots of beautiful quilts and lots of ideas for classes and fun kit ideas. So many ideas, too little time! Then tonight we went to Sampler Spree. People started lining up at 4 p.m. to get into the event at 8 p.m. I guess the hot item that everyone races to is the Moda booth to buy the jelly rolls, fat quarter bundles, etc of the new fabrics so they can go home to make their shop samples. If you buy something, then you get a free Moda bag. Of course we had to do that! So we each have new Moda bags to tote our quilts in. We also bought t-shirts for all of us to wear for the grand opening of the shop. We think the saying is a hoot - "A Fat Quarter is NOT a Body Part". We also bought a little something for our hubbies who are home working on our shop....koozies that say "My Wife Quilts Therefore I'm BROKE".
After Sample Spree, Belinda, Deb, Marilyn and Janet couldn't resist peeking in the windows at the market show area.
