This is my first Spring Market and I’m learning a lot! I was hoping to help Valdani tonight at the Sample Spree but got caught in traffic and couldn’t find a parking space because there was a graduation at the Convention Center and things were crazy. So I went back to my hotel and thought I would update you on what’s happening instead.
I flew in yesterday and had the great fortune of having June Dudley, Editor-in-Chief of Quiltmaker Magazine as my seat mate! We had a great time talking about Modern Quilting, her new issue of 100 blocks, and she was kind enough to fill me in on what to do at the Market.
After checking into the hotel where my friends Liz Kettle and Ruth Chandler are staying, I drove over to the convention Center and brought some stuff to the Valdani booth where I will be demoing my Stupendous Stitching process and promoting my new book. And what a surprise! My friend, Dana Jonsson made a HUGE poster, featuring my book and my Valdani designer thread collection. Wow. I’m so honored! Here’s a photo of me in their booth with my Stupendous Stitching messenger bag, made by Ruth — my go-to bag for Spring Market!
Please pattern that magnificent bag!
It’s not my pattern. It’s my friend Ruth Chandler’s design. It should be available at the Misty Fuse website by November. http://www.mistyfuse.com/
Carol Ann I signed up for your classes on Craftsy craftsy.com WOW. So easy to use, print outs are great and I can go back a check out a technique again and again. Thanks for the lessons. Your episode on The Quilt Show is what grabbed me and so my personal June quilt challenge was using your technique. What I did is weak but I’ll improve. Thanks Carol Ann.
I love teaching at Craftsy! Great platform and so fun to communicate with my students and se their work. Please share!
Where were you when they snaped the picture? Look at all those lovely threads behind you!! I would have loaded up the shopping cart!!
I was at the Valdani booth and you are right. Their threads are to die for. Check them out at http://www.Valdani.com.
