And this little sick piggy went to Market...

Just wanted to pop in here real quick and tell you the Quilt Market info.

BOOTH #3539 and 3541

SCHOOLHOUSE
Sewing With Knits -- Educate your customers!
You are cordially invited to a multimedia presentation
hosted by designer Patty Young
during the International Quilt Market Schoolhouse Sessions.
Thursday, May 20th, 2010, 3:40 - 4:10 p.m. Room 210B

I have a sinus infection and a shattered iPhone screen, but at least it's not as bad as what happened last Spring (drama is at the bottom of that post if you're curious) ...



So even though my head will be in the clouds, I will at least look the part...



Doesn't Lola look stunning in my schoolhouse ensemble? I like Lola because she is not bustier than I am (believe me, that's hard to find) although she does have a daintier waist than I do. But she didn't give birth to two kids and work in a sedentary job for the past 15 years (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)

So, I hope to see you there and if you won't be there, I'll make sure to share tons of pictures and stories from the show.

Back to sniffling as I work...

Later!!!

Winners, dates, times and other important stuff...

We only have a couple of days to go before we pack up the vehicle and head South to Houston for the Fall International Quilt Market, so you can imagine the craziness around here. Oh, and I may have forgotten to mention that one of those two days will be spent in Chicago (here) celebrating Sydney's 5th birthday, since we will be in Houston on the day of her actual b-day... yah, insane!

Anyway... thank you all SO MUCH for the amazing comments regarding Flora & Fauna. I am blown away by the love! Wish I could reward each & every one of you, but alas we could only pick 2 winners and since that job was much more pressure than I could handle right now, I left it up to the trusty ol' randomizer. There were 445 comments when we closed the contest and the winners are...

And since I seem to be physically incapable of posting to my blog without some sort of visual, I leave you with a few more Flora & Fauna sneak peeks. These are some of the items my mom brought with her from Florida... more to show at Quilt Market!

ahhhhh....



mmm....



eeeee....



But what really made me squeal with delight as soon as she pulled it out of her suitcase was this amazing laptop bag that fits my 17" MacBook Pro like a glove and has pockets galore for all my cables & stuff!!!



And it is a perfect match to this adorable selvedge notebook that my friend Val made for me last week (I can't even put into words how happy this makes me!)...



heeeheee... I'm gonna be so matchy-matchy with Jon (and it wasn't even planned!) OH THOSE BEES! Ooops, I'd better hurry up and make something else with those dandelions & luna moths so they don't feel slighted again!

Signing off until Quilt Market! If you follow me on Twitter, you'd better believe I will be tweeting all the way there & back. :)
