As I was putting quilts away after Quilt Market I decided it was time to share this one with you.
It is made from my “Magnolia Lane” pattern but this time using some very different fabrics than the original. Here’s a close-up of the fabrics.
Don’t you just love those polka dots? And finally a picture of the backing that I stumbled across. Perfect, I do believe.
Enjoy,
Check out the cute bags Jeanine McNeill made.
Her email to me said:
Had fun making these. Hardest part was finding black grommets.

Thank you Jeanine for sharing the picture.

This morning started off by unloading the car. It’s amazing how much stuff was packed in there. I then had to return some padded flooring and drapes that I borrowed by Sheri at Quilt Cupboard. Thank you, thank you, thank you Sheri, I really appreciate it. Next Melinda and I headed over to Marilyn’s to take some things and pick up some things. Then we returned the rental car, stopped at Wienerschnitzel and then back home. That’s about it. We thought we would sew but instead we just lazed around.
So, I don’t have much to share with you today. Instead I’ll share a few pictures that you haven’t seen yet.
Here we are in the booth on the final day. That’s me on the left and Melinda on the right. Don’t we look cute in our “same but different” aprons.
The show closed at 4:00 pm. We then packed up but of course you can’t get a vehicle anywhere near the loading dock. So, here’s the stuff sitting on the sidewalk at the back of the convention center. Melinda stayed with everything while I walked back to the hotel and pick up the SUV. I wasn’t able to pull up real, real close but it wasn’t all that bad. We just hauled everything, a little at a time part way down the block and threw everything inside.
I can’t begin to tell you how tired we were afterwards but not too tired to go have a nice dinner a P.F. Chang’s. Here was the highlight of our meal.
Ahhhhh! It was so good. I think it was called the Wild Cat Martini. It was so good, we each had two. After all we were walking (not driving) and we deserved it.
Tomorrow, hopefully we’ll get some sewing done, fun stuff, not samples for Market. Yea!!!!!!

Dorothy did it with three clicks of her heels, it took me over 700 miles behind the steering wheel, but either way “There’s no place like home”.
More tomorrow once I’m rested up.
Enjoy,
I’m sitting in my hotel room this morning looking forward to my final day at Market and reflecting on the last several days. So far it’s been a terrific experience. I’ve met so many wonderful people, gained a bunch of new customers and spent some quality time with my sister, Melinda. Melinda has been blogging about Market so you might want to check out her blog and see it from her perspective.
This morning I thought I’d share with you my purchases from Sample Spree. Some of this is mine and some of this is for Two Wacky Women retreat door prizes and sales.
How I managed to carry all of this is beyond me. I guess I wasn’t as tired on Thursday as I am now. Here is a picture of the coveted Moda Bag. These are always given out with Moda purchases at sample spree and they are different every time. This one features Utah. It’s a huge bag that can hold lots of “stuff”.
Well it’s time to get a move on, take a shower, have some breakfast, put my apron on and plant a smile on my face.
Enjoy,
This morning started off bright and sunny. Even the local news said we would have nice warm weather. Well someone didn’t tell the weather god’s because this afternoon turn dark and ominous, accented by loud thunder that could be heard inside the convention center. By 6:00, at the close of the show, it was down right cold and windy outside. But all that didn’t dampen our spirits. We headed to the Bloggers Quilt Market Meetup. There was at least a gazillion bloggers there. We had a chance to chat and visit with many of them. Here’s the goodie bag that we received.
After we left the get-to-gather we headed to P.F. Chang’s for dinner, unfortunately it was packed, with a very long wait. We were tired so instead we headed to Squatters Pubs and Beers. We had a great meal and a nice glass of wine. Then back to the hotel and time to relax.
I want to share one more picture with you.
This is Hoodie, a designer for Timeless Treasures. Isn’t she just the cutest thing ever and look at her wonderful fabric. I’d love to get my hands on some of it. Can you see the great watermelon fabric that she made her purse out of. I love it.
Until tomorrow…….I’m so tired right now, I can’t think straight.
Enjoy,
Hopefully we’re back on track. I wasn’t able to post to my blog yesterday due to the problem, but I’m all caught up now.
If you missed it, Kim was the winner of my 500th blog post give-away. I had fun shopping for her. Kim please send me an email here so that I know where to send your prize when I return home.
Yesterday after Melinda and I finished setting up and visiting the local Walmart (of course) we decided to visit one of Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive ins, and Dives. It was the Red Iguana located here in Salt Lake City. the Red Iguana is known for having ten different Mole sauces. One of the items was enchilada filled with carnitas and covered with one of their Mole sauces. Melinda and I each ordered the same thing. the waitress told us that it was little spicy and we both replied no problem. Melinda I grew up with a Mexican father so we “know spicy”. No problem, we said. Wellllllll!!!! Apparently we don’t know what a little spicy is. It was the hottest (spicy hot) that I have ever had, but it was delicious. Both of us set there eating our enchiladas with runny noses and watery eyes. What can I say, WE LOVED IT!!!!
The entire restaurant was delightfully decorated with bright colors and oil cloth tablecloths on all the tables. But, here is the picture you have to see, the front door. Here is the inside of the door.
And, here is the outside of the door.
Today was really fun. We got to see a lot of old friends and meet a lot of new friends. It seems to me that this year, Spring Market is bigger than ever. We followed up the long day with a wonderful dinner that Moda hosted. Thank you, Moda.
Now, we’re back in our room, tired but happy, drinking wine and watching TV. It starts all over, bright and early tomorrow.
Enjoy,
