Things I Found While Looking Around Quilt Market
November 5, 2012 I'll start with this lovely quilt. Looks like it could be antique, but it's not.

This display caught my eye ... don't know why ... it just did.
A few pretty quilts from Andover.
Another stunner called "Robin's Nest" by Karen Styles
Hmmm, wonder why I liked this quilt made with these Quilt Gate "Mary Rose" fabrics?
Beautiful Japanese woven taupes - quilt made by my friend Keiko.
Sweet!

My friend Tasha's new collection at Riley Blake
Too cute!
Another stunning quilt ... this one by Sandy Klop of American Jane.
Leave it to Moda to haul a CAMPER into the convention centre! Fun.
Anne Sutton's newest Easter design. Very cute.
A Cosmo Crickets quilt in the Moda booth. I've always loved this design, Kalidescope.
Another project from my book in C&T Publishing's booth. (surreal)
Love the softness of Sweetwater's booth
What a fun idea!
Can you just imagine recovering your entire library with your favorite fabrics? And then embroidering all the spines? LOL! I think I'd have to be beyond bored to actually DO that ... but a girl can dream, right?
Ok. Hope I didn't kill you with photos today.
I still have more, ya know.

Oh my goodness, the talent!!! It blows me away how creatively brilliant these amazing people are! (That includes you, K!) So much eye candy. So much inspiration. Your projects look right at home on display! Keep the pics coming, pretty please! :)
More photo's please! So inspiring and good for the soul! One day I will get to Houston!!! Glad you had fun!
Yes, give me more, please! A girl can't have too much inspiration, right? Hildy
Wow, gorgeous quilts! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the recap!
I loved seeing these fascinating Quilt Market photos! Your blog is so pretty (and so witty), Kristyne, I am delighted to find it. Will put you on my list too :)

I love reading your blog!! Can you tell me more about the first quilt you showed on this post? Is there a pattern somewhere?
I love those Kansas City Star quilts - that red & white feathered star looks like a BOM just waiting to happen. And that robot pillow would have been great when I was a preteen watching B movies on late nite tv!
Great post! I got to quilt that Kaleidoscope quilt. The line is Tw2nty Thr3e and there are 2's and 3's quilted in the border, swirls in the negative spaces.
The unaccreditted quilt is by Karen Styles , Melbourne Australia , her shop is Somerset Patchwork.. HTH
Love the Centenary collection for Lecien - wish I could find this collection somewhere here in KY. It is so beautiful.
Hello,
I love your blog,checking it everyday to see all the eye candy. I pre ordered your
book and paid for it, delivery in Jan. 2013,but I saw you signing books at the quilt
show.I don't want to complain but I would love it have your book now......What happened?? As I said I read your blog each day and have ordered your basket
pattern also. Thanks for letting me spout off... Kathy O.
l can´t choose one.Thankd for your pics,there a fabulous projects!!
Not at all, You are my link to quilt market. I live vicariously through you!
I love the photos - please post more! You give us a wonderful glimpse of market. I especially like the close up photos of the projects. You can really appreciate the detailed work. Very inspiring.
Thanks for all the photos. Even though I live in Houston, I didn't go to the show because I am thinking that all of these booths are set up only for the private access days, and what we get as 'normal' people are the vendor booths and such. I'll have to investigate that further to make sure before next year. Now, I have a question. I have now invested at least 1-2 hours reading a new blog based on your link for the Robin's Nest quilt. I have fallen for that quilt and I want that pattern. I don't see it offered on her website or blog, but she did mention something a few months ago about filling up the BOM for it. Anyway - my question is whether you saw any information at the show about it other than taking a picture? All the best and I look forward to when you will offer some signed books on your shop page!
I can answer Jennifer's question regarding Robins Nest. Somerset usually offer it as a full BOM and then sometime later just as a pattern and template set. Email them, they are great to deal with! I signed up for their Mrs Billings Coverlet BOM and was very happy. You might also investigate Homestead Hearth, as I think they are offering it as a BOM. Good luck! Ann-Maree in Sydney
Thanks for the photos- great to be able to see the Houston show all the way away in my room in the UK, post as many pictures as you have please!
Thank you Ann-Maree! I actually did contact Somerset and ordered the pattern/template set -but they didn't have anymore fabric BOM openings. I tried Homestead Hearth and they have just what I needed! A BOM for just fabric delivery, but I could have also bought the pattern/templates from them as well. Thanks very much for your suggestion (and thanks to Kristyne for allowing this communication)!
That's great, Jennifer, so glad you're all set! Always happy to help a quilter with her addiction! Good luck!
