It was great to go to the Spring International Quilt Market in the beautiful city of Portland this year. Although we never have time to see much of any of the cities where Market is held; it was good to see the warm sun shinning. It also was great to be able to drive and have plenty of room to bring back all of my "treasures" and not have to worry about sitting on the suitcases (even after I have unzipped the expansion). Or worry about what all this will weigh when I struggle to get the two suitcases up on the scale at the airport.
What an experience! As a long time quilter it is a joy to see all of the new fabric lines - new patterns - new trends - new machines - new gadgets - touch and feel quality cloth and droll.
What collections would I like for myself, stimulus check had arrived in time, or what do we need to buy for the store.
I found the major project for our quilters for 2009 Saturday Sampler group and it will be the hardest secret to keep until the fabric arrives and the quilt is made. Hopefully the unveiling will be in September but that means that the pedal to the metal to test all of the blocks and be ready to roll.
I am also a Grandma and I get "hooked" with "Grandma Grabber" projects for the kids in my life so look out - I am in fabric heaven.
