Quilt Market Show Floor
Tula Pink was the keynote for this years Quilt Market. Tula did a fantastic job – no surprise there. Her booth was also beautiful.
Tilda Fabric always has a wonderful booth as well – showcasing their new fabric lines and products.
Quiltoni never disappoints! Her talent and spunky attitude is catchable! This is her new quilt – showcasing the planets. It’s such a fun quilt!
She also has a wonderful ruler that is great for small hands. It’s thick and simple – super easy to use at any age.
Arrow had a new table with a really nice hydraulic option which comes with a clicker so you don’t have to sit to make it move!
And – they have a new color for their fantastic chair! It’s “Bernina” red. These chairs really are so comfortable to use when sewing.
BEHG designs was a fun booth – showing off their fabric that can be used for floor mats or quilts. Great for outdoor options!
Cutterpillar has great products for tracing and now for cutting!
Here’s a quick look at a few of their products. Something that if you sew the applique method, you should check these out.
Kimberbell always amazes me at market. Their product is so fun and they love to mix and match things in projects. This year they were showing off the mix of applique with embroidery. So cute!
I’ve known Emily for years – and her collage quilting is on fire! I love it. It’s such a fun technique. You should check it out! She has a fabric line now and it’s beautiful.
Wiggle Creek Designs has a fun mix of embroidery with coloring – using colored pencils or crayons.
The antique quilt dealer was there with a booth – I of course had to browse their collection. Sadly, I didn’t buy one – but I did find a few fun patterns in the pile!
Classi Creations was a blast to chat with! Glo was fantastic and they have the extra thick rulers as well. These will not break if you drop them accidently on the floor, AND the marks on the ruler are large and you can actually read them! They are colored as well. It’s a great product that you should check out.
This ruler has curved corners so you can cut curves on your projects! These would be great for making curved bag bottoms as well as curved corners on baby quilts.
They also have a ruler template that is for keeping your binding straight! They also have a holder for this that turns but it attached to your sewing table so it can be easily feed into your needle area when you are sewing your binding on.
AccuQuilt has a new spray out to help you control the static of your cutting machine! whoop whoop. You spray your fabric (like a starch) but don’t iron it. After sprayed, you feed it through your machine and it eliminates the static.
I have made the bucket hat before using the AccuQuilt, but here’s one with a fun little piping on it!!!
Another bucket hat with some applique on the top – so cute
They also have a few new dies coming out – the scrappy binding die (cannot wait to give this a go!!!) and a die for cutting flange for binding. I am sooo excited to give these a try.
Debbie has the brilliant binding quilt ruler – but it also helps you sew up some fun shapes and designs on your quilts. It’s not just for binding.
She also has the Sparkle Knob – it suctions to the ruler and really is quite comfortable. Not only that, they are clear so you can see through them.
Mac has a new book coming out that will help you use 3 yards – make a quilt and explore curves. She is seriously a delight and someone that you should look for! She also has a new ruler for squaring up your quilt blocks. Brilliant.
Kate has a new book coming out – patchwork braids. If you love braids in quilts, you should check this book out for sure!
She also has a new fabric line – just dandy. It’s full of color and a great collection.
Poppie Cotton has cutting mats which are soooo cute! I love the design on the back (even though you don’t see it).
I loved their pattern and fabric line as well –
I just loved this quilt and had to share – it’s from Poorhouse quilt designs
Legit Kits are crazy cool. Check them out if you are looking for something very unique.
Lamb Farm Designs has always been a favorite of mine. So excited to see her new designs. This was one of my favorites that was remade because it was an older pattern – but I seriously love it!
This bag was on the floor in the Tula Pink booth. I loved the tiny flying geese!
Fashion Fabrics linens by Robert Kaufman. These were beautiful and I had to stop and pet the fabric every time I walked by.
