Hey everyone! I'm back from my trip to the US for Spring Market. I had a wonderful time and here are some photos to prove it. (sorry they are a bit blurry, phone photos!)
First stop was Leavenworth Quilt Co for classes.....what a wonderful shop and a great bunch of ladies...I really loved it here! (I am already thinking I need to go back!)
and then I took a roadtrip with Debbie and Jeff from Wooden Spool Designs....to arrive in Minneapolis for Spring Quilt Market (wholesale trade show)
my booth
I was able to meet up with lots of my friends and also meet new ones!!
Robin from Briar Root Primitives...
Debbie from Wooden Spool Designs...
Jenelle from Pieces to Treasure...with her new fabric line which is gorgeous!
Pam Buda...in her gorgeous booth!!
Kathy and Pat, two amazing fun ladies!!
Shelley and Jeannie...fellow authors at Martingale...(look at the Christmas quilt behind them!)
Pam Kitty Morning came to visit!
Sherri Falls with her new book Winter Wonderland, which is oh so wonderful!!
Kara, Sheila and Tracy from Martingale...(the best publishers!)
new sweet & simple patterns...
then it was off to Battle Lake with Karen....and another awesome class!!
and then off to California for a weekend at The Fat Quarters Quilt Shop
the awesome Michelle at her most awesome shop!!
and now I am home...with a bad cold....and trying to get motivated to stitch!!
