The Aussies

Quilt Market wouldn't be complete without seeing our Australian friends and designers.    I just love talking to them.   I would really like to have their "accent".

First up...Gail Pan.   She has such wonderful designs.

Love these embroidery patterns.

The minute I saw this one, I knew I had to have the pattern.

Wouldn't this be cute in wool?

This one too!

It's always fun to see Lynette Anderson and see what she's come up with.    She has a new book coming out and was very proud to show it off.

A close up.  I think she said it will be out this summer.   (Hope I got that right, Lynette)

She has a new line of fabric coming out in blues...

and purples.

One of the projects in her new book.

Wouldn't you just love to have this towel in your kitchen at Christmas?   Love it.

Or how about a pillow?

Or two?

Have you seen the new book by The Quilted Crow Girls that just came out recently?

All the projects in the book are right up my alley.... in cottons and wool!

Just sit back and enjoy the show.

I will definitely be adding this book to my library.  

I'm almost finished showing you market pictures.   Just a few more posts.

See ya later.   Hugs, Anne

Quilt Market–the people

First:  Janet update

She is out of ICU and her blood readings are showing positive changes.  She is awake at times and continues to make progress.   She still has a long way to go but the doctors feel she is on the right path.   Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers.   Keep em up!

On to the wonderfully talented designers.

Whose feet and cute pattern do these belong to?

Why it’s Lynette Anderson and her cute hubby Vince.  The slipper pattern was a huge hit.

Brenda Riddle from Acorn Quilts and Gifts with her new quilt based on a cross-stitch sampler.  It’s darling.  Wouldn’t it look cute in wool?

Barri Sue Gaudet of Bareroots Designs showing off her new book.

Close up of that cute quilt above the book.

Cute holiday projects.

Lynne Hagmeier of Kansas Troubles.

Check out the border of this quilt.  So many pieces, so little time!

Sandy Klop of American Jane

Karla Eisenach and her darling daughter Lisa with Sweetwater.

Sisters – Kathy Schmitz and Bonnie Sullivan (All Through the Night).

They took a trip to France together and were so inspired it led to a book collaboration.  It’s filled with beautiful photos and projects.

And here is Joyce from Geoff’s Mom patterns.  She has some really wonderful new patterns.

Her new Block of the Month.

And this darling pillow that I just have to put on my list of projects.

Wool sheep and embroidery.

Cute table topper.

Deb Strain of Saltbox Illustrations.   We had a fun dinner with her and her hubby one night.  (her coat dress matched her booth colors – cute)

Mary and Barb of Me and My Sister Designs.  They were also at the same dinner and are so funny. They tell the best stories that always make us laugh till we cry.

Barb and Alma of Blackbird Designs.

I still have tons more pictures, so I’ll see ya soon.

Hugs, Anne

Lynette and Debbie

Before Market started, I got an e-mail from Debbie at Woolen Sails telling me to check out some of the punch needle samples she had worked on for Lynette Anderson.  That was an easy task to do, because a couple of markets ago, Lynette was right down the aisle from the Bunny Hill booth and we all became fast friends.   

This is her cute son, Eddie.  Such a good sport to put up with all the craziness of quilters. Doesn’t Debbie do amazing work?    Check out the close-ups.

And here’s that cute Lynette wearing the nametag Debbie made her…just because.

Way to go Debbie!
