Quilt Market - Spring 2010

I think I am probably the LAST one to finally post about Quilt Market. What is the saying... Save the BEST for last. ;-P Just kidding. so... here it goes.

Quilt Market was great!  This time around I went with my MOM.  I was so glad she was there and I am now kicking myself because I did not get a single picture of us together... what was I thinking? Hindsight is 20/20.  We had a blast... riding the light-rail with our light-rail buddy, Kim... walked up and down Nicollet Mall street... enjoyed a night with bloggy friends at Fabric 2.0... and walked Quilt Market and helped my mom pick up lots of fun new things for her online store.

Met some great people, saw some beautiful new fabrics, patterns and MORE!

Pure.  Wonderful for boys and girls of any age!!!  THANK YOU for designing fabric for BOYS!  Authentic is my other favorite collection by this team of ladies and I must say it should become a basic... {if I can put in my two cents}.  See their video here.
