Quilt Market Round-up :: Part Two!

Rob Appell was in full force this Quilt Market- He helped us make our booth beautiful and he brought the fun... Maybe some of you saw him roll by on his makeshift dolly "skateboard"? :)  Rob also debuted his new collection of quilts, Color Strata! He used our high density, oh-so-soft Cotton Couture to create the bright, abstract quilts pictured below...

For more Rob Appell, check out his Youtube video from Spring Market!

Susan Emory, of Swirly Girls Fame, showed off her new quilt designs in Pittsburgh! She used fabrics from some of our favorite collections-- Petal Pinwheels, Rainbow Bright Batiks, and Cotton Couture. How great is the quilting in the chevron quilt?! Love it.

Quilt Market was amazing this Spring! I met new quilters, pattern designers and all kinds of makers- We're planning some really great collaborations for Making It Fun this summer! Be sure to check back in...

Have a great, crafty weekend!

Quilt Market Round Up :: Part 1

It was all flowers, fountains and fun in the Michael Miller booth at Quilt Market! I always try to take a before and after photo since we start setup with a completely blank canvas...

Below are some shots of set up... We had to have an impromptu sewing circle to add some hanging loops to the quilts. It usually takes two full days to complete the booth but it was well worth all of the hard work-- especially since we headed to Emporio for meatballs to celebrate :)

....................
Each corner of our booth represented a different collection. This is Part 1 of a 2 part Quilt Market Round-up.

 Below is a "snapshot" of the fashionista's sewing studio which included our lovely pastel collection, Spring Fling.

Violet Craft, Emily Herrick and Patty Sloniger created amazing displays this Spring in the Michael Miller booth... I've constructed some mood boards for their collections so that you can see some of their beautiful projects...

Quilt Market and Mother's Day!

It's been pretty crazy around here due to Quilt Market prepping... but the truck is packed and we'll be on our way to Pittsburgh next week!

I'll be sure to take tons of pictures so I can blog about it when we get back. And, if you're at market, feel free to come by the booth to say hello (Booth #546)

..................... 

For all of the mom's out there, have a wonderful Mother's Day!
