Spring Quilt Market 2010: Freespirit Part I – Now Available

I was thrilled to sit down with Freespirit/Westminster for the first time in an official capacity this Market … thanks to Sarah Bailey for taking the time to show me everything! First up, the newest collections that are in shops now (or will be in just a second).

I also got to meet Valori and Jean Wells for the first time, and I must have been starstruck because I had a brain fade and neglected to photograph Valori’s booth and her new collection Nest. I’ll make up for it later, I promise!

First it was the girly Hopscotch, and this month David Walker‘s new collection, Boys Will Be Boys, will be available in stores. So simple and sweet without being cliché.

Poodle! Don’t you just love saying it? We didn’t know what inspired the name (Ms. Paganelli, will you tell us?) it’s pure Sis Boom goodness. This collection includes a few laminates (top).

McKenzie is the latest from TV host/columnist/author Dena Designs.

I’ve already featured Erin McMorris‘ Weekends a couple times, so you already know I love it, but I’d be remiss not to show it to you here! And my Market photos reminded me that Weekends includes some laminates as well.

Felicity Miller was inspired by her Romany great-great-great grandmother and Romany caravans to create her newest fabric collection, Gypsy. Now that I know that, I’m even more captivated!

Kathy Davis is a designer with a major presence in the greeting card world. The painterly Journeys is her first fabric collection for Freespirit.

Next up, a few future collections, and Kaffe!
