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!
aaak! love Melly & Me – still have to try my hand at some of those delightful patterns!
That dollhouse quilt is amazing! Someone spent a zillions hours on that!!! And the monkey in the room…fantastic!
I purchased Kaleidescope but haven’t had a chance to create anything from it yet. I love seeing the projects. I love the doll house quilt. How creative.
Great photos! LOVE the dollhouse quilt..what amazing details on that sweetie!
that doll house quilt just melts my heart…….thanks for taking us along to Houston. Loved every minute of it. XXX Annie
I love all the photos of your trip…it’s almost like I was there! I am so in love with all of the rich, saturated colors that are out right now. I follow Anna Maria Horner’s blog and have seen snippets of her new line, but it’s nice to see it large and made into projects. Wondering – is laminated cotton a new trend, or has it been around for a while and I haven’t noticed it? Is it similar to oilcloth? Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
This post includes some of my favorite designers and great photos of their creations! Thanks Kathy!
Thanks so much for posting all of these pictures! For those of us who never make it to Texas, it’s wonderful to see what’s new!
Wow. It is so neat all the different fabric types that are coming out now. I loved AMH’s new line! The patterns from Melly and Me are so sweet.

Love the russian doll quilt…post a close up if you got one.
Those stuffies are adorable! And I need to go out and buy Melly’s book ASAP!
Having test sewn for Melly I know she really is just a wonderful, kind person…I’m sure her sister is exactly the same – they are both so talented and generous!
And I love her book – the mushroom backpack was so fun!
All of the things Rosalie and her sister make are gorgeous! I *love* the house quilt! Thanks for the lovely pictures: I wish I could be there (but it’s a bit too far away, ’cause I live in the Netherlands

Thanks for the link to all the photo’s–how fun!
I love the colors. I’m currently shopping for some nursery fabric – our first baby is due in March – and have loved a lot of what I’ve seen in these posts from the Quilt Market. I’m looking for something gender neutral (we aren’t finding out the sex) but cute, but not overly baby. Thanks for giving me some more to think about!
WOW! What an amzing experience you have had the last few days. The photos are all amazing – visiting the Market must be mind blowing – all that design & colour!
Thanks for sharing

I have made the fun Melly and Me monkeys….6 of them last year!
So very cute and even made a princess skirt for one of them for dear grandgirl who at the time would only wear skirts. Have since
made additional pants for the monkey of grandson to match boxers
he sewed for himself. Love their patterns…too cute. Anxious to see the new book and fabric line too.
I never win but I always try!!!!
Love the doll house-what could get anything better!
I love everything by Mellis & Me but the doohouse exceeds it all !
Inspiring and so absolutely beautiful!!!!!
The house quilt is so cute!
Nice selection. Rosalie Quinlan looks and sounds like a very nice lady. I also think that dollhouse quilt is adorable! Too bad the girly girl granddaughter is into more Miley Cyrus……sigh.
Linda
That dollhouse quilt! OH MY! Your pictures are so inspiring.
Wow. I feel like I know someone famous just by reading your blog. What beautiful work!
Do you know anything about the giraffes in the second photo. Is there a pattern because, I love them!
Rosalie & Melly are so incredibly talented. You know someone is really good when they make it look so easy! I love the fact that they are so diversified in their creating…..it just never stops….embroidery, quilting, animals, purses, fabric and books…all of which are created with their own unique style. I just love it!
