Fall Quilt Market 2011 recap

This time I traveled solo, so we decided to do a small booth, as in half-a-booth, as in a tiny, little wedge of space that I could set-up and call my own...



It looks way bigger in pictures than it was in actuality, but I'm not complaining. It was stress-free and fun and still did a pretty good job of showcasing the new fabrics, the new patterns, the beautiful quilts and even a few new products.

Here are a few detailed shots...









The best (absolute best) part of Quilt Market is the constant stream of happy visitors. Oh, how I love to chat with these ladies that I only get to see once or twice a year! I'm sure you'll recognize these smiling faces...









Jenny Fish was my lovely assistant during Schoolhouse and I am ever so grateful!



I even got to meet Cindy Kitchel, Vice President and Publisher at Wiley. What a treat!!



Another one of my favorite parts is the parties! Who can forget the parties... every night, all night long?! :)







I will leave you with some breathtaking images I captured from our hotel room on my last day in Houston. My roomie and I got up extra early on this day so we could try to make the most of our last day at Quilt Market. It was still dark outside, so I captured these images from our 13th-floor hotel room:

The convention center at dawn...



As the sun was coming up over the horizon...



And a few minutes later, after my shower...



Then the downtown Houston skyline at dawn...



And after my shower...



I always enjoy my time in Houston. It feels like home. Until next year...
