We're still trying to recoup from market but wanted to share a couple of photos from market. One of the highlights of market is getting the opportunity to meet and learn from the many reknown quilters and designers in the industry. We had the opportunity to visit with Lynn Hagemeier of Kansas Troubles and Jodi Barrows of Square in a Square, just to name of couple. Eleanor Burns of Quilt in a Day and her son, Orion, shared their latest projects - and Eleanor stopped long enough to take a photo with us.
The latest collection to arrive at the shop is Evening Mist by Sentimental Studios for Moda. This beautiful collection has a soft, smoky palette and would make a gorgeous blended quilt.
