Abstract Challenge


This is my Abstract Challenge quilt from the Quilting Arts Magazine challenge. Though it was not a winner one of our group did win! Congrats to Marla for her abstract quilt featured in this edition of QA. My abstract was multi layers of fused cottons with a layer of angelina fibers for the water feature. I enjoyed meeting with the group to work on our challenges at Fabric Fusions in Brown Deer. We had a great time expanding our quilting styles. You may see the entire group's quilts on the Quilting Arts website www.Quiltingarts.com

Booth 3


This is our back wall. Again, a nice view for the quilts and product at eye level. We also had another wall that showed off the limited edition fine art prints of Bonnie's..we, I, called it "the gallery". It was on the main walkway and caught many an eye. We sold off the last of the Sunflower framed prints this Houston. Bonnie is working on some new prints for next year now that space has opened up!

Booth 2



This is the second half of the booth. It created a gathering site off the main floor for attendees and vendors alike. We store our product under the tall, black draped tables. All product is then at viewing height..a welcome relief from product on short tables

I'm Back!

Can't believe it has been a month since I last posted! Houston was a long stretch, then had to catch up with the family and my "real" job upon returning! Just wanted to pop in and tell you a bit about my Houstonian experience. We had a great time as usual this year. Met bunches of new quilters and vendors a like. We saw tremendous quilts and garments throughout the ten day run. Was nice to see Larkin Jean Van Horn, Jane Sassaman, Mary Sorenson, Nancy Hill, Lorraine Torrance, and our other favorite people. Thanks to Raven's Journey, Free Spirit, Fairfield and Mary Sorenson's Wool for generous offers for products in our new patterns for BBD. Thanks to Bonnie and Lynne for the opportunity to vend along side them in the BBD booth. Just a reminder, BBD has some new patterns and stationery..really worth taking a look at them. Check in at their link on my site it will take you right to the web page. Order early for the holidays! I am starting to finish family presents for the holidays..will post pix of the booth from Houston and what I have been up to lately as soon as I get the camera unpacked and downloaded!
