Quilt Market 2015 | Edgestitch

As you know, I had the chance to go to Quilt Market in Houston this year, and so I’m sharing some of the things I saw.

Fig Tree and Co at her booth.

Rennaissance ribbon ideas.

Another cute idea from Rennaissance ribbons. That’s Kaffe Fassett ribbon. Rennaissance has a new idea book featuring his ribbon.

Angela Walters with her new line. A real departure for her. This quilt was made with 3 half-yard panels–2 seams. The binding is made with leftovers from the panel.

Another color way from Angela Walter’s line. Really loving this pattern.

Bonnie and Camille’s booth, featuring their new line Vintage Picnic.

Sweet Amy Ellis with her new line. Loving the corals and greys.

Isn't this a great idea for a kid's room? Same idea as the corded bowls we've made but just lays flat with fabric wrapped around the cording. At the Ella Blue booth.

Isn’t that gorgeous? Another angle of Jen Kingwell’s booth.

Your local store needs these, don’t you agree? In the hoop pin cushions from Smith Street Designs. Yum.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this little tour through market. You’ll find MUCH more if you go to instagram or twitter #quiltmarket and #houstonquiltmarket. Right now, Quilt Festival is going on in Houston, and of course, that’s open to the public. #quiltfestival #houstonquiltfestival #showmethemoda #fatquartershop

Finally. I went to Quilt Market 2015 in Houston. It was quite an experience as we all spent some time worrying about the remnants of the strongest hurricane in the western hemisphere, which blew through Houston over quilt market weekend. 12 inches of rain or more. Thankfully, the day I left the sun had returned.

Weather notwithstanding, I had a great time. I met so many designers, my head is spinning. Plenty of pictures to share with you, and you’ll get some idea of what the trends are for next spring.

The delightful Sue Spargo at her booth. I want every bit of her thread.

New line from French General. Those thread holders were cut with Sizzix, and French General will now be selling hand floss.

French General's new hand embroidery. You can purchase the design and the thread from them. This sample was the one that was hand drawn by her husband 2 days before market and used as the prototype for the new pattern.

New collection by Luke Haynes a new Moda designer.

Here's Luke's self-portrait in the gallery. Yes, the entire background and his name are made from flying geese. So interesting!
