Jacquie from Tallgrass Prairie Studio and Katie from Sew Katie Did came by yesterday afternoon for the most lovely visit. I’m still smiling from all the good vibes these two fabulous women brought with them.
We talked sewing, quilting, blogging, business, fabric, and more sewing and quilting for the better part of 4 hours. It went much too quickly. Jacquie was visiting all the way from Kansas City. She did a trunk show at Fabric Crush (now located in their new Wallingford Center digs) on Tuesday evening.
I was the high bidder on this quilt in Jacquie’s fundraising auction for Haiti. The title of the quilt is ‘pink neighborhood’. It fits so perfectly here. I feel like all the friends I’ve made through the world of sewing and quilting form one big, fabulous neighborhood full of friendly, strong, creative, supportive, kind, inspiring, and engaging women and I’m so incredibly lucky to live here. Thanks for being my neighbor. xo Kathy
Oh, that little pink quilt is so perfect, along with your pink chair and your totally awesome desk with that gorgeous laminated fabric.
That looks like an amazing gathering of women! It must have been a fantastic time. I really regret not being able to make it to Fabric Crush for Jacquie’s trunk show.
Lucky you with great company!
What a wonderful opportunity to meet some bloggers in person! I hope that happens more in this shrinking world. Sounds like you had a great visit. Congrats on the winning bid of that adorable pink neighborhood quilt – I love it.
What a fun time! I love having the chance to talk to other bloggers – always special times! Have a great weekend :0
Looks like so much fun. *S* I used to live out there in the Wallingford neighborhood, but there was never anything as exciting as a fabric store anywhere around!
There was an XXX rated bakery tho. *L*
Fun! It’s so good to see photos and know who we visit with on the blogs.
And thank you for being my neighbor! Yours was one of the first blogs I found when I discovered the world of blogging, and you have been an unfailing inspiration and generous sharer of knowledge.
That’s a pretty powerful bunch of my favorite people there!
Oh Gosh, I do not think you girls could have bigger smiles on your faces if your tried!! So you are the one that won “my” pink quilt!!!
What an amazing trio.
Wish I could have been there too!
I adore “Pink Neighborhood”….you lucky thing!
I’m in Colorado Springs working (and playing) with my friend, Julie.
It reminds me of being with you, dear friend.
Every one of your posts makes me happy!

How lovely to have a visit from Katie and Jacquie!
I subscribe to their blogs and am always inspired by their gorgeous creations. I wish I could see Jacquie’s selvedge quilt in person, you lucky Seattle people!
Love your neighbourhood quilt, the internet has really made such a difference to the modern day quilting community – now it doesn’t matter what the distance or how many oceans are between us, we’re all neighbours! LOVE the tablecloth!
What a wonderful feeling this quilt gives you! It looks perfect there (O:
Have a lovely weekend.
I feel the same! xoxo
Beautiful quilt! Spending time with good people is always amazing.
