Quilt Market 2014 Recap
Quilt Market also hosts a humongous quilt show!
I’m home! My quilt market fun is over for 2014. On Saturday I blogged about all the things Sarah and I did on day 1 – Friday, and now is my chance to show a few more of the fun events we attended, a few of the {many} inspiring sights, and giveaway a bag of quilt market swag!
On Saturday Sarah and I had our first book signing for Just For You. Everybody was so sweet and actually wanted to talk to us. I felt like a real celebrity (for just a few minutes).
Thank you so much to Daniar from Fat Quarter Shop who walked by and instagrammed this great picture. I didn’t get any pictures of the book signing myself, so I’m so glad to have this one.
I spent the rest of Saturday wandering the isles, soaking in the inspiration. These pics show (starting from the top left) Anna Griffin and her sweet team (from Blend Fabrics), a pillow by Anna Maria Horner in her new collection Honor Roll, a spooky surprise in the Quilting Treasures booth, clever pouches in the Lecein/7 Isles booth, Heather Bailey’s adorable owls, Joel Dewberry’s gorgeous new rayon fabrics, a dress by Denise Schmidt, me ‘n Heather Valentine (of the Sewing Loft), and a cute bag in more Joel Dewberry fabrics.
On Sunday I got to help a whole bunch of ladies make a Foxy Cell Phone Cosy… one of the projects from Just For You. I adapted this project to use hand sewing and Fabric Fuse glue from Thermoweb so we could do it as a make & take. The felt was from National Non-wovens. I must admit that having Darlene Zimmerman come over and make one too made me extremely giddy. She’s one of my quilting heroes. Sarah had stepped away during that, so unfortunately I didn’t get a picture.
After that I headed over to what I call the ‘church of quilts.’ About half of the convention center was an unbelievable quilt show (see the first picture on this blog post). And walking around over there is the extreme opposite of the showroom floor. It’s so still and quiet you could call it reverent. Perfect for spending time gazing at your favorite quilts. Like these:
These are just a few of my favorites. There was an exquisite collection of traditional quilts from all over the world that we were not allowed to photograph.
Lastly… at Quilt Market you get to take home quite a bit of swag. The icing on the cake, right? Would you like to win some of mine?
Here’s a bundle I put together for one lucky reader. It includes: 5 quilt patterns, a table runner pattern, a copy of Quilter’s World magazine, a few fat quarters and two charm packs, a package of Getta Grip clips from Dritz, some True Grips for your ruler, a kit from our Foxy Cell Phone Cosy make & take, a bottle of Fabric Fuse to make it, some Lo-Lo Lov solid moisturizer , and one of Elizabeth Hartman’s adorable pins (didn’t make it in the picture). All in a cute canvas bag from Passionately Sewn.
All you have to do to enter is leave a comment below and tell me who you would take to quilt market with you if you were going… your mom, sister, best friend? Then if you tell them about our little giveaway (like tagging them on fb 🙂 ), you can come back and leave one more comment for a second entry. I’ll let random.org pick the winner in on the night of November 5th. Make sure you enter or leave your email address so I can contact you if you win.
*** This giveaway is now over. Congrats to the winner: Anne N!

Plus… if he’s NOT there, I won’t want to spend any money on fabrics, but if he IS there, it’ll be HIS idea… he’ll say stuff like, "Well, can you get this at home? Or will we have to order it online and have it shipped anyway?"

I’m so spoiled. 😉

I would take my father-in-law. Sounds odd, and he doesn’t quilt or sew, but he grew up as the third of nine children and spent a great deal of time helping his mom as she sewed and mended clothes. I know he would get a kick out of how fabric looks and how personalized and special things can be made and how far fabric has come since he was young.
I would take my daughter.
I think I would take my mother in law. She is one of the only people I know who loves and appreciates the hard work of crafting as much as I do. She is also one of the nicest people I know and would be as excited as I am to be there!

I would love to go to Quilt Market some day…I would take someone from one of the 2 quilt guilds I belong to! Then we could bring back some serious inspiration to all our quilting buds.
Naomi at nwraimon@twcny.rr.com
It sounds like you had a great time at quilt market. I’d take my mum with me if I was going. I told her about the giveaway, but as she isn’t on the internet I can’t claim an extra entry for it!
jen dot barnard at btinternet dot com
I would take my dear sister-in-law… we both quilt. We’ve attended local quilt shows together near here in South Carolina. She’s always been an inspiration to me and has encouraged me all along the way as I’ve learned to do new crafty and sew-y things.
That’s easy – I’d take my grandmother. She’s the one that introduced me to sewing about 50 years ago and she would be totally BLOWN AWAY by all the quilts, fabrics, designs, and variety. She not with us any longer so I can’t tag her, but she knows 🙂
Thanks for the pictures of Quilt Market. D Zimmerman is one of my favorite designers, too.
I’d take my best friend because she is a great quilter and we have fun together.
I’d bring my mother-in-law. She’s a truly creative lady, and we spend hours chatting about our creations and swapping ideas. I’m lucky to have her in my life!

I would take my quilting friend Kathy!!! We don’t see each other much cuz she lives in Washington and I am in Texas but she would love to come and go with me.
quiltenbea@yahoo.com
I would take my Mom!
Wonderful pictures! I´d loved to be there with my grandma, because she loves fabric and inspired me to start sewing.
I would take my daughter. She is 4 and likes to come with me to quilt shows and "helps" me quilt as well! (My husband and his paycheck are doomed!)
I would have a hard time choosing a companion. I might take one of my cousins who quilt, but I would probably take my daughter who has expressed interest in quilting.
I would take one of my quilting friends but it would be hard to choose.
Without question, I would take my sister-in-law. She began quilting about four years ago and has done beautiful work in between working and most recently being a full-time caretaker for my brother. My brother passed away last week; once the hubbub of the official paperwork and processing is complete, she will need other kinds of support. I am anticipating that her quilting will be among those — me too, of course!
Difficult decision but I would take my friend Mary! We have been quilting buddies for 4 years and what a blast we would have! Next time Moe!
I would take my mom – she would love seeing all of the creativity! Great give away goodies!
I would take my 10yr old. I’d love to start a tradition in my family and I know she would love the experience
I would bring my man’ smother as my guest! I would love to win this gift giveaway because I am going to start quilting and these gifts will help me to get started! I love sewcanshe.com! Creative inspirations & blessings! 😉 <3
i would take my niece with me to quiltmarket! She made her first little quilt at the age of 5! She loves to sit with me in my studio and helps me out with her own sewing machine. Thank you sewcanshe.com for all your inspirations!!!
I would take my aunt, Donna. She and I share a love of being crafty and quilty.
I would take my friend Michelle 2 with me (I’m Michele 1-we were numbered in Scouts based on how our names are spelled). She has quilted a bit, I don’t quilt but love sewing and fabric, when my kids are grown I might try to quilt again, I tried once and it was a big fail. She and I are like peas in a pod and she might be moving away soon so if I had a chance to go I would take her so we could spend time together.
Ooh! If I had the chance to go to such a big market, I’d take my good friend Suzanne along! Thanks for the chance and thanks for adding so much interest to my fb feed every day!
If I could take anyone to a quilt festival with me, I would turn back time and take my grandmother. I can’t remember a time growing up that my grandmother didn’t have a quilt to work on. She would have loved the festival. We probably would have spent an entire day in the "church of quilts" as she would have a made each type of quilt for someone at some time in her life. I am so grateful that I’ve inherited her love of quilting.
Thanks for all the pictures of Market, it looks like a wonderful event for quilters, so I would take my qulting friend. Thanks for sharing.
I’d take my mom for sure. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
If i was going to market I would bring my quilty friend Denise and we would have so much fun!!! We would do so much damage our credit cards would be smoking! Thanks for the giveaway.
this is awesome . love the giveaway.
I would definitely take my best friend with me. the one who understands quilting

I would definitely take my mom with me. It would be like going to the candy store for us!
I would take my sister. We’ve done quilt hops together and this would be so fun!
If my mom were still here I would love to go with her. So instead I would like to take along my whole drum corps sewing crew!!
I would definitely take my daughter!
I would take Sherri Meabon, as she was the one who was inspirational in introducing me to love quilting! cyberedge@numail.org
Tagged my friends!
I tagged my daughter on facebook. We would both love this package.
I would take a buddy with me and have the time of our lives.
When I posted a little while ago, I forgot my email address! (worthycubed@yahoo.com)
Here’s what I said:
I’d love to take my mom! She is now learning to quilt from me. I learned to quilt from my grandmother (mom’s mom) and my mom was ‘too busy’ then. Fast forward a few years and with the passing of my grandma, Mom has been learning from me. I know we’d have a great time!
I’d wander the aisles with my sista Elaine, because it’s a family affair.
Asked my sista Elaine via Facebook, if she’d go with me!
my mom probably!
I would take my 9 yr old twin girls. They love to create on their machines in our sewing room with me. I am looking forward to the coming winter days when we are all up there sewing and serging!
tagged my mom on FB
morning..just enjoying your blog on Quilt Market….I would love to win some of your swag…unfortunately I don ‘t have any quilty friends 🙁 but will share my entry on facebook) hope I am lucky …Maggie Lucia
I just shared your fb post on my page…and after some thought , I decided I would take my granddaughter (age 6 ) to quilt market …she wants to learn to sew like her Nana !!
I taught my mom to quilt 25 years ago and sh’e been hooked ever since – she would definitely be my travel buddy!
I would take my friend, Regina. She and my sister (now deceased) introduced me to quilting and I can’t think of anyone who would appreciate quilt market more.
I shared with my the quilting give away on FB
I’d take my daughter who is 20 and a Jr. in college. Though she has witnessed my quilt making, I think its important that she appreciates quilters and their art on a much larger level. In the age of so much technology, having her witness creativity on a much different level would be a huge teachable moment in her life.
I’d take my daughter, she doesn’t quilt yet. But she loves doing the layouts, so I think she has the bug at least the start of it.
I would take my daughter, she goes every where with me, she is only 13yrs old and I am teaching her to quilt like I did with my older three girls.
I would have to take my sister, and my mom. They quilt as well and it would be a great trip for us to all be together at the same place and time.
I would take anyone that wanted to go. I am not choosy as long as I get to go. One of these years I will make it.
I would take my friend Vanessa!
Ok I tagged my friend! Thanks!
I would take my daughter-in-law because I know she would enjoy it as much as I.
If I were to be lucky enough to go to Quilt Market and take someone, I would take my Nanna. She’s 96 and still mows her own yard!! She taught me to quilt about five years ago and she is always so positive when I show her my work. Her quilts are done on the old-fashioned frames, which are assembled with ten-penny nails through holes in long wooden rails. Love my Nanna.

I love this idea! I just got back from a 5 day quilt retreat, and I could easily take many of those people. But If I had to pick just one, I would take Carol, a dear, dear friend whom I know through this quilting group. I learn so much from her every time we are together, and she has such a sweet spirit!

No question… I’d take my mom, the person who taught me pretty much all I know about sewing & quilting, who owns more sewing machines than she has fingers on one hand, and who sews possibly more than she sleeps!
