Quilt Market always goes by so quickly and this year was no exception...I can't believe it's already over! It was held in St. Louis this year, and I was pleasantly surprised how beautiful St. Louis is! It's such a fun city to explore and so clean, and almost all of the museums, gardens, and even the zoo are FREE!
I was showing off Hello Jane, and new patterns for the Spring. Some of them you've seen and some of them I'll post about this week. My sweet friend Carly came with me this time, and we made these paper flowers in our hotel room the night before (tutorial found here).
The lighting was terrible in the convention center...so you'll have to forgive my bad lighting phone photos! I loved so many of the booths but these were a few I took pictures of:
Big Sky (above) was my favorite new Moda line coming out. The bear print is just the cutest, and look how cute her Sprocket Pillows are (tutorial here)!
I was excited to see Gingham Girls in person! Amy is a dear friend and her quilts are gorgeous. Sharing a booth with Amy is Melissa...hence the Zebra in my photo. :) Melissa's line is Safari Party, both lines for Riley Blake.
In the Windham section Daisy Chain by Annabel Wrigley was just so springy and beautiful. How cute are those little dolls?
Caturday by Felice Regina was another favorite. So fun!
I'm excited for the new Rifle Paper Co. line for Cotton and Steel (above).
Art Gallery Fabrics had beautifully styled booths as always like the April Rhodes booth below.
Tula Pink always has a colorful amazing booth, I always love looking at the detail in her quilts!
Rebecca Bryan was in her first booth showing her line for Robert Kaufman Panache. So graphic and colorful...I loved it!
My favorite booth was by Simple Simon and Co. showing their line Just Add Sugar for Riley Blake. So smart and cute!
One more cute Cotton and Steel display...loved the purses.
That's a wrap! Quilt Market is fun, exhausting, and most of all inspirational! While I'm there I want to go home and sew...and when I'm home I want to take a nap instead. ;)
I'll post some new patterns this week, in the meantime they are in my shop.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. The lighting must have really been bad. I think every blog that has posted about the St. Louis Quilt Market has remarked on the bad lighting! They pictures looked nice anyway.

Thanks for the nice comments about St. Louis. I live 11 minutes from the Arch on the other side of the river in Illinois. I sure wish I could have come over and checked everything out !

I had such a good time chatting with you! I love how bright your booth was. :) Thanks for taking a picture of me in my booth. I never remember to ask anyone to take pictures so I'm glad there was at least some evidence I was there to show my family!
