Quilt market was amazing.
I'm exhausted.
Cheryl and I did a schoolhouse. It was a hit. I'm so thankful. Then we worked hard for two days making connections and following up with others. We also did a book signing. Market is a lot of work. Good work, though.
It was so great to meet so many people that I have 'worked' and blogged with over the years. It felt successful and very well worth it. Again, I'm so thankful!
I also got to see and hang out with Tara and Angela. (YAY!!!) We didn't get to hang out nearly enough, but it was super fun when we had the chance. We managed to fit in plenty of laughter when we did.
I got to meet Denyse! That was pretty awesome. (heh. that's a big understatement.) Her friend/assistant, Leslie stood in line for OUR book. So, Cheryl and I signed OUR book FOR Denyse. For Denyse!! Which we ended up hand delivering later. Oh. mylanta.
It's a wonder I haven't exploded.
There were 100 other great things that happened. Way too many to list.
Now I can't wait to sew!
Happy Monday to you!
Yes, there was so much to see! It is hard to describe to someone who has never been there.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lotta quilty goodness! Congratulations on the book:)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had such a great time. The Liberty looks mighty nice.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying following all the coverage, but you're the first one I've seen who's mentioned the Liberty quilting cottons! Can't wait to hear more about them.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I saw some photos of you and Cheryl on Instagram during quilt market at your schoolhouse. So awesome! Congrats!

ReplyDeleteI discovered your blog a couple of weeks ago and I am totally addicted to it, I can't wait to log on to find out what you've done next and the beauty of it is I still have a lot to catch up on. I've done a couple of the projects already and this morning discovered the patchwork dress for little girls... I can't wait to get home and get cracking on that one... brilliant, keep up the great work.

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your head is still spinning. I know mine would be. Denyse Schmidt. Very. Cool. Congratulations on such a successful weekend at Market.
ReplyDeleteIt was great to meet you at market. I wish I had something I could have traded for the Liberty sample box. The look SO good.
ReplyDeleteIt was my first quilt market. So much to see it was rather overwhelming. And your school house event was great.
You and Cheryl did a great job at schoolhouse. I'm sure Denyse has TONS of scraps. She knows a good thing when she sees it--she will definitely be using your book! And it was fun to hang out even for just a little bit, and to meet Tara. Hi, Tara, if you are reading this...
ReplyDeleteI also stayed up till midnight last night reading your book and I have to say it might be the only quilt book I have read cover to cover. You and Cheryl are not only amazing in person, but you have written a wonderful book. I can't wait to see pictures of the back.
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Leslie
