Whew. I'm home from my trip to Quilt Market in Kansas City with Brenda, Anna, and Debbie. It was exhausting but lots of fun. I learned a lot and have many ideas in my head that I need to process and write out before I forget. Right now things are swimming around in my head in a blur.
We took classes, attended school house presentations, experienced the madness that is sample spree, went to the Moda customer appreciation dinner, visited ALL of the booths, and went to the Modern Quilt guild meet up.
(line for sample spree - This is the front of the line. We were in the way back where you can hardly see. The line went on and on after us too. Crazy.
(Brenda and Anna - plugged in and instagramming our wait in line for sample spree)

(Alex at the aurifil table. A table piled high with Aurifil. Heaven.)
I loved meeting lots of people I know from the web. The Fat Quarterly team was just as fun in person as I had expected. Here Brenda and I are with Katy and Tacha.
And here's Tia. I wish Tia were my neighbor. I think we would have lots of fun sewing together.
It was a great few days - everyone was really nice and I learned tons. I hope I can go again! Next time I'll have to take an extra suitcase for the return trip. I brought home twice the amount of what I took on this trip. Crazy.
I have lots to share with you but I think I'll sort it out and share in a few different posts. I'll share some of my favorite things from market and I'll also have a few book reviews later in the week. There will also be a give away so be sure to stay tuned.
