pittsburgh spring quilt market 09: day 4
The days start to blend together during market as we hustle to see and do everything we can. Today we had a minute to stop and visit with Julie Popa at her booth for Sunflower Hill Designs. Her debut fabric collection Sunshine Serenade arrived in the shop Thursday and we can’t wait to get home to see it. She’ll have a bunch of new patterns available soon too. Oh we are so proud of our local talent!
Plus, how exciting to see hanging in her booth, the quilt she made with fabric she picked up at Suppose. I love her mix of colors and prints here.
We are big geeks at market when we run into our idols. At the American Jane booth we oohed and ahhed over Sandy Klop’s new quilts with her new fabric colleciton Happy Campers, which we will carry in it’s entirety. For her booth display, Sandy got her hands on a vintage viewmaster with family vacation type photos, which we all had to try out.
And I totally geeked out with Liesl Gibson of Oliver + S. But how can I help it when she is so talented and so kind? As always their booth looks like perfection.
I wish we had photos of all our favorite booths, but there just wasn’t time. The big news today is that… drumroll… Suppose will now carry Liberty of London prints! We’ll be getting select Tana cotton lawn prints, and word is Liberty will start producing quilting cottons. You have no idea how excited I am about all of this!
Tomorrow: Market winds down and we make a huuuuge purchase.
