Ta-da! Here it is! The most wonderful Amy Butler introducing Lark (and the inspiration for it, Maxime de la Falaise) and giving us a tour of her booth. Amy Butler just released her own Lark video here. Related posts: Fall Quilt Market 2010 – FreeSpirit/Westminster – Amy Butler Spring Quilt Market 2012: FreeSpirit/Westminster – Amy [...]
Kristen’s Spring Market post on Yara African Fabrics was a hit, so we made a point to visit them again. Yara is based in Harlem and offers beautiful woven mud cloths, wax prints, block prints, batiks, tie dyes, and brocades.

Oh, what an adventure it is trying to process and upload a video for the first time … I can’t believe I’ve never done it before. Well, while we wait for Youtube to make my awesome Amy Butler video available, I’ll share a couple booths from far-off lands from you. Kristen came across South Africa’s [...]
{ photo by Kristen Lejnieks } I ran out of time at Quilt Market and failed to capture the rest of FreeSpirit/Westminster/Rowan‘s offerings (except for Amy Butler, the one and only video I managed despite plans to video everyone, coming up next!). Fortunately the new collections are well-represented on the web, so I’ll point you [...]

Cara is the sewist and marketing side of the team, and she somehow squeezes this all in between studying at med school. In their booth they were showing off Mark’s new collection for FreeSpirit, Morning Tides, which [...]
Here’s what’s next from Art Gallery Fabrics: Poetica (above), in stores February 2012. Pat Bravo has been brining some rougher, more natural looking lines to her motifs, which I love. Summerlove has a warm-season palette befitting its name, and with lots of Tangerine, which happens to be the Pantone color of the year. It’ll be out [...]
Art Gallery Fabrics showed off their most recently released collections by Patricia Bravo with some magnificent, glowing, colorful displays. Their booth won second place in the double booth division, and I think you can easily see why from these photos. Thanks to Art Gallery Fabrics for sharing these! This pillow shows off Art Gallery’s Pure [...]
Brandi Frey, marketing coordinator for Clothworks, is one of my favorite Quilt Market people! I got to sit down with her again at this market, though it felt too short. Clothworks has some lovely new collections coming in Spring 2012. You can see all of them here. First, we have Robin by Erin Ries, a [...]
