It's a Fiesta! Quilt Market 2014 Recap...

It was all about bright colors and a fiesta in the Michael Miller booth at Quilt Market! The inside of the booth was decorated with paper flowers, paper garland and an array of beautiful quilts made from the Fiesta Collection. (I'll post them below along with links to all of the patterns.) But first, set-up! 

 Quilt Market reminds me of a theater production- probably because I studied theater and costumes  in school but also because you start with an empty space, build your booth and then break it all down to the same empty space. There's definitely something magical about it...

The framework is starting to go up... 

 followed by colorful, Cotton Couture covered walls!

*notice Rob's most festive set-up outfit :)

Next, the paper decorations...

We also had Fiesta mood boards and quilts as inspiration around the booth.

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!
