Quilt Market Fall 2009 – Melly & Me + Lecien

A sneak photo of Rosalie Quinlan showing off Grandmother’s Flower Garden in the Lecien booth. Jen McLean (Tula Pink) on the far right. Rosie has lots of inspired creations using the new fabrics on her blog.

Rosie gave me a personal tour of the new collection. I have to mention that she radiated a kindness and beauty that was so truly genuine I’m still feeling the good vibes. She’s doing exactly what she was sent here to do and it’s spectacular.

A snippet pic of Melly Hurlston working the Melly & me booth. The samples in the booth were fabulous. Non-stop goodness.

Samples from Melly’s book Kaleidoscope.

Amazing detail!

I created a Quilt Market Fall 2009 set on Flickr to round up all the photos. Click over to see more detail. I tried to take a lot of up close photos of projects in the booths for inspiration. All pictures have now been added. They’re all wacky in terms of the order and I have absolutely no idea how to fix that!

    Like some other commenters – I’m totally in love with the doll house quilt. I think I’d like to make one – but doll house sized. That would be fun!

    Thanks for the Flickr pics!

    I went to Rosalie’s schoolhouse with Lecien and it was just to die for! Her fabric is fantastic! Stopping by their booth was just a feast for your eyes. Boy, these two girls can create some real beauty. It is so hard to say which creation is a favorite too.

    that dollhouse quilt is incredible. Is it me, or did it seem that more fabrics were gender neutral or even possibly more ‘boy’ friendly than before? From you photos above, I can see some colourways that could be more boy friendly. Thank goodness!!

    So many different things to see…I really must make it to market one day. Your stories always give me such an appreciation for the designers themselves…fabric is no longer just fabric. Also, I wasn’t sure that I would ever say this but, I’m loving that quilt with the matroyshka doll panels.
