Vanessa talked about it, Dana talked about it, so I’d better get to talking about it!
If I wasn’t me, I’d be so jealous of anyone who got to even go to quilt market, much less meet up with some of the coolest bloggers around.
It was a whirlwind of a day.
Ooogling booths and booths of fabric (without being able to buy it, such a tease – almost wish I owned a fabric shop).
I circled the Kokka/Echino booth roughly 18 times. The projects they had made up were right up my alley!
Rubbing elbows with the biggest designers. Well, I didn’t rub elbows with anyone, but just stood in amazement when Vanessa and I went to talk to none other than Amy Butler herself! For all your knitters out there – Amy’s coming out with a whole collection of yarn and knitting patterns! She’s also got a new book on the way: Amy Butler’s Style Stitches.
Anna Maria Horner was always busy interviewing for her new book whenever I strolled by.
Sandi Henderson was such a sweet person! Luckily I had just gotten her book, Sewing Bits and Pieces, and had made a few projects with one of her fabric collections Meadowsweet. (Yep, Meadowsweet 2 is on the way soon). She was so pretty and gave me some great advice, too!
I met up with Dana and we got to sit and chat about life. I was so nervous about meeting her, I mean, Dana from MADE?! wow.
Lucky you! I can just imagine how much fun that must have been.
Living in town I wish I could have gone! Looks like so much fun. Loved the pic of the far,far away 2 line! I can’t wait – so many plans for it!
so jealous!!! someday i would love to go
Yep… I’m jealous!
Oh, wow. Looks like you guys had a blast, and who could blame you?
Beautiful pictures! How fun!
I am SO ridiculously jealous! I have got to make it to a quilt market one of these days. It looks like so much fun, and Minneapolis looks likes a really cool place too.
Love the pics of you and Dana and Vanessa! Fun!
P.S. – I think I have the same necklace you were wearing. Target? 🙂
wow! HOW EXCITING! i couldn’t imagine!
You are the cutest little thing!!! What a fun day and I know you probably picked up a million ideas!!
It was so much fun to meet you. And you are too funny….NO reason to be nervous to meet me! haah I’m just a dorky stay at home mom, seriously. 🙂
Thanks again for taking us to the mall. It was great.
If I had only known you were going to be there too, I would have found a way to meet you Anna. You met some great ones!
Wow…what a spectacular day!! I wish I were there with you 🙂
Well how cool is that. I didn’t know a thing about it and I live HERE! Looks like a wonderful time:)
I can see that in some ways not being able to buy the fabric would have been a blessing in disguise, how could you be there and have to choose what to get without blowing a gasket? I probably would have moved into the Kokka/Echino booth, or at least taken up residence under a table.
And Mall of America? Tch. You guys stole the thunder from our West Edmonton Mall and I doubt Edmontonians will ever get over not having the largest mall in the world (and it’s probably WAY down the list now!)
