Quilt Market Recap :: Part Two!

 

 "All children, except one, grow up."

This is the opening line of J.M. Barrie's gift to the world we all know as Peter Pan, the story we could all claim as our own. It holds that piece of childhood we never want to let go of. Before it was a Disney classic, it was a story- first a play, and then a novel, which I chose to use as my inspiration for this collection. With my passion for vintage storybooks... the colors, designs and classic magic... I wanted this textile collection to remind us of those children from turn of the century London who happen upon an incredible adventure, as well as the actual book itself... both in color and subject.

Peter Pan starts shipping to stores in July

My latest collection, Isabella, was inspired by my lovely daughter and her friends. A bit of a tomboy as a young child, this collection celebrates her new-found love for pretty things!

Isabella is in stores now!

You'll find ballerinas in position, music notes, crowns and so much more in Applause, new from Sandra Clemons. The colors are whimsy pinks, greens, blues and purples which bring playful yet balanced rhythm to the collection. Applause will inspire you to make beautiful things!

Applause starts shipping to stores in September

 Charming by Gertie is a fabulous line of vintage-inspired fabrics for the discerning dressmaker and quilter. It has all of Gertie's signature loves (roses, border prints and floral stripes) but with a glam and quirky twist for the customer who isn't afraid of something a little different.

Charming by Gertie starts shipping to stores in August

 Behind the wrought-iron fence lies a beautiful secret garden, Les Jardins. Climbing vines and delicate packed blooms adorn the collection while flowers float through the ombre sky of the double border.

Quilt Market Round-up!

We had a great time in Texas- the weather was warm (we were even able to dine outside at night!) and our booth was bustling...

Setup started off a little bit slow since one of our crates was MIA... but, as soon as it showed up, we got busy!

 This market, our theme was Blue & White- The walls were covered with Toujours Bleu et Blanc and the booth was filled with all things blue and white: quilts, China, a cat bed (fit for royalty) and, of course, the MMF team!

Fabrics shown in photo above: Pagoda Garden, Kota, Fish Net, Cheryl

Kathy and Rob Appell are wearing Blue & White Porcelain.

 The quilt behind them (and pictured below) was designed by Emily Herrick and the free pattern is available here.

**Notice the lovely Fancy Feast Cat sitting in style under a bed designed and created by Marinda Stewart (Kitty fabric coming soon :)

..... 

 The Indo Ikat collection made a big splash at market

 

For the quilt pattern above, designed by Heidi Pridemore, click here. The Figgy's dress pattern can be found here. 

Rob, on his way to the MMF schoolhouses- he's wearing Romi.

We glammed it up this season with our new collection, Glitz!

The glitz dress patterns used in our booth are from Cali Faye (Mint) and Lily Bird Studio (Confection)

.....

Three of our licensed designers also debuted their new designs...

Sara Jane's collection, Wee Wander, was very popular- especially since her newborn made an appearance in the tee-pee! So cute!

.....

Tamara Kate debuted Helen's Garden and Quiet Time- Love that quilt in the background!

Tamara is wearing Enchanted and her sister is wearing Pirouette.

 Don't forget to swing by Tamara's blog, Kayajoy.

.....

 The Swirly Girl's released a new Clubhouse line, Daydream. They had the quilt design displayed in their booth- It's pictured below in Jewel. This would be the perfect quilt for a Block of the Month!

.....

Happy sewing and I can't wait to see what everyone creates using all of our new fabrics!

And, a special thanks to Emily Herrick, Rob Appell, Becky, Ed and Deb for all of their help and hard work this market!
