Sample quilt from Tula Pink’s new collection for Moda called Plume. I had the pleasure of meeting Tula Pink aka Jen McClean while in line waiting for a Cuban Sandwich at the convention center food court. She was in front me and had on this fabulous bag. I asked her about her bag (always on the lookout for new patterns!) and at the same time was thinking ‘hey I just ordered that fabric from Moda how does this chick have it on a purse already’. Well, you know how that story ends. Too funny. And by the way, Plume is absolutely fabulous in so many ways as this quilt demonstrates.
New collection from French General. Their first collection Rouenneries should be arriving in the shop any day now. The prints are super French Country sweet, sophisticated and beautiful.
New from Sweetwater is Make Life. The aesthetic is very similar to their first collection Authentic that arrived just as I was leaving for Quilt Market. This time they’ve thrown a bit more color into the mix and it’s fantastic. I’m very drawn to the scale and simplicity of these designs.
Had to throw in one more picture of a simple table runner, very cute!
Sandi Henderson in her beautiful booth featuring fabrics from Meadowsweet, her latest collection for Michael Miller Fabrics. The colors are spectacular. Sandi also released 4 new patterns arriving in the shop soon.
Patti Young surrounded by the vibrant colors of her new collection Flora & Fauna. Patti also added several new titles to her ModKids sewing pattern collection.
Paula Prass and her lovely daughter Jennifer Storey. Paula’s new collection is Woodland Delight. Paula also has new patterns coming!

And if you’re beginning to wonder if it was overwhelming to see all these new fabric collections (most of which will be shipping in the next three months) then you’d be absolutely right. I’ve only been running my shop for a short 18 months but I’ve never seen so many new collections being pushed out at the same time. It required some serious priority setting and decision making about who I am as a shop.

I created a Quilt Market Fall 2009 set on Flickr to round up all the photos
So much creativity!!!
I am completely digging the colors by Sandi Henderson and Patti Young. I especially love the chairs in Sandi’s booth!
It HAS to be overload on the senses, the pocketbook, the brain…all of it, but how exciting!
I love both Moda and Michael Miller (really, what’s not to love?) and your pictures are so great! Isn’t Tula Pink amazing? I adore all of her hidden animals!
Post after post of wonderful fabrics. It’s mind-boggling! I’m just loving this eye candy you’re providing. So many ideas, so little time.

oh my! I think you put all the best collections in one post….I want one of everything!
I can’t wait for Sandi’s new line – and I can’t imagine how hard it must be to choose between all those amazing fabrics – we all know you made great selections as always!
I will probably need to make that circle quilt – stat! So fabulous!!
Michael Miller is my favorite! I have a secret dream of being one of their designers!
The Michael Miller booth was absolutely smashing!
Y’know, theres isn’t a thing that Tula Pink makes that I don’t love!
Oh man, all these posts make my heart go pitter-patter.
Great photos! I sure hope you’re going to get Denyse Schmidt’s new line! Do you know when it comes out?? I’m DYING!
All these beautiful pictures are making me so jealous!
Ok, I LOVE the French General quilts. Those are so awesome.
Ohhh I love the Sweetwater stuff!!!
The new design by Sweetwater is beautiful. Love their first line–I may have to mix the two up for a quilt I’ve been planning! Thanks for the lovely photos.
I am experiencing sensory overload….how do you choose and keep
within any kind of budget??? I would have to have a keeper to go
to market and shop for a shop!!
If you need any help, just shout out!
Calling from half way around the world who loves fabric but cannot get any without paying a big bulk for shipping. SOB!!
Can’t wait to see the new French General fabric. How fortunate you are to be able to see what our quilting future is, and how generous of you to share your pictures so that we can be there through you.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences at quilt market – it is almost like being there… almost!
I would think that would bring on sensory overload with all of those new collections and trying to decide what to carry in your shop. I trust you will have all the right ones.
how cute how you met Jen!
I really like that Plume fabric in the quilt!
wow, overload. i am waiting impatiently for Plume. it just looks gorgeous

Okay, that second photo with the VW bug in it is making me crazy… what the…?! Is that a miniature, or did you do something to two photos, or what’s going on?! Oh, and the fabrics are great, of course. :0)
I have no idea how you make those decisions! I love that quilt on the orange wall!
So much beautiful eye candy, can’t wait until it is all available
How difficult it must be to stick to a budget and NOT buy every lovely collection. Loving Sandi Henderson’s new fabrics.
I would definitely be overwhelmed! I’m still waiting to get my hands on some Authentic fq’s, I can’t believe they already have a new line!
I NEED those chairs from the Meadowsweet booth, too cute.
I’m definitely getting my greedy hands on some Flora & Fauna!
How fabulous you are for posting such great pictures! I especially love the Plume quilt! Yum!
Thank you for posting the sweetwater booth–Make life is my favourite ever!!! and I’m saving my pennies!
ah, so many wonderful fabrics! I can’t imagine having to try to decide what ones to buy! thanks for all the fabulous photos!
I’m loving the new Make Life line and Sandi Henderson’s prints are gorgeous!
LOVE Sandi Henderson…the shop I work at just ordered her new line, I can’t wait to see it in person! Thanks for sharing all these fabulous photos!
Wow! That looks like such a fun and exhausting experience! Can’t wait to see some of this loveliness in person.
I LOVE the sample quilt from Tula Pink’s Plume collection! Something about the colors.
You know, I’ve been commenting on these posts to be entered into the random drawing. But you know, they are starting to sound kind of lame now. (My comments that is.) I am so enjoying your posts though. So much fun to read and see.
Wow Kathy, that is quite the selection of new fabrics to choose from. they all look so great so I’m sure your choices wont disappoint. But please do be sure to pick up some Make Life and Sandi Henderson
Patty Young! I never knew! It is love!
The quilt featuring Tula Pink’s new line is beyond gorgeous! All that color and design and pattern . . . beautiful to look at!
Gosh, all of this stuff is just too cute! I would have had a nervous breakdown if confronted with so much at once. I especially like to see what the vendors are wearing…so much style!
Overwhelming – but loving all the photos! I especially love seeing what these creative people look like. Not only does Patti Young dress adorably, but her booth & the Flora & Fauna collection are my favorite so far of all the lines you’ve posted.
great pics!! 3 of my favorite new moda collections too! i had a great time at market… just wish i had met you.. well there is always next year!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share all these cool photos!
I’m really enjoying the theme/design of your website. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility problems? A handful of my blog visitors have complained about my website not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Safari. Do you have any suggestions to help fix this issue?
Good day! I simply would like to offer you a big thumbs up for the excellent information you’ve got here on this post. I am coming back to your web site for more soon.
