(A Few) Lovely Ladies of Quilt Market
November 2, 2012 I can't believe it's been almost a week already since I got home. What the heck have I been doing? Oh yeah, anything that didn't require USING MY FEET! LOL!
But I think I've recovered now. And have gone thru all 300+ photos. It pains me to tell you that my camera accidentally got set to 'portrait' instead of 'auto' for much of the time and I didn't notice ... so I had to trash a ton of super blurry ones. (Bad blogger!)
Also, it seems I've turned into a wimp of epic proportions because I kept leaving my camera a booth somewhere because it was too heavy. What? I've carried 2 human beings to term PLUS all that "baby weight". A little camera is like a feather in comparison. And of course as Murphy's Law would have it, I kept running into my favorite people sans camera and didn't get photos with/of them. (Very bad blogger!)
Despite my incompetence, I still have some lovely ladies to show you.
Deb Strain - She is just so adorable. And talented. I asked her which of her quilts she wanted me to photograph her with ...
This girl is quite the artist.
Allison - another cutie. I love her blog. Her new baby girl makes my ovaries ache.
Me & My Sister - these two should take their comedy routine on the road. They are so funny. And their colorful sense of humor translates to both their fabric designs and their booth displays.
A jelly rolled mummy. Ok ... NOW I've seen EVERYTHING! LOL!
Aneela - my embroidery homie. Love her Tova top. Fun to see in person something she showed on her blog on the other side of the world a few days earlier.
Managed to snag a F8 bundle of her new "Posy" collection.
Sue Daley - template user, appliquer, traditional quilt designer extraordinaire ...
with her first fabric collection Prairie Rose!
Jo Morton - Another traditionalist I admire idolize. (Sorry 'bout the crap photo)
You'd know I was lying if I said I related to her colors - beautiful reproductions that they are. But I simply adore her quilt designs and traditional style. I TOTALLY relate to her on that level! (She teases me about how she doesn't get my obsession with white.)
But I think my favorite run-in was Sherri. I've followed her blog for a long time now and it was such a treat for me to finally meet her in person. I knew she was somewhere among the thousands of people. Near the end of the first day I was standing in line chatting with a friend when all of a sudden there she was - standing right behind me!
(Had to steal this photo from her!)
More next week. TGIF!!!

Hey, camera's get heavy after a while. I don't blame you! Beautiful goodies at Market! I like that stack of Riley Blake! :)
Well looky there -- two of my favorite little blogettes right there in that last picture. Looks like you had a divine time in Houston!
