Quilt Market - should we wrap it up????

There is still SO much that could be said but I'm afraid I am boring you and dragging it out with every little detail and person I met! LOL - so how about we wrap it up???

I attended Market not as Meg from Brassy Apple but Meg from BoutiqueCafe. I was the production assistant and loved every minute of it! I got to shoot all the footage and meet wonderful people. If you saw me there I probably looked something like this:








Toting equipment, cables and blocking traffic in the aisles as we would interview people.

The booths were a feast for the eyes - Full of color, inspiration and oozing creativity. Here's a few pictures I was able to snap on my own when I was able to put the camera down for a minute.

The owner of Serendipity was so chic in this outfit done with Tina Givens fabric and her booth floor covering was too good to miss!














We found a refreshing take on farm fabric design with Keri Beyer's Urban Farm line. Her set up was adorable!


I've never seen "farm" done so well and so chic!!!



Of course LOVED meeting and chatting with Anna! She makes you feel so at ease and is so delightful to talk to! and get this - Anna knew who I was!!!!! I was standing at a near by booth and Anna walked by, she stopped and said, "Don't I know you?"

I was instantly nervous to have her approach me and compose myself to talk to her. I replied as calmly as I could, "No, we haven't met yet. My name is.....etc, etc." (you get the picture) We shake hands.

Then Anna responds back with, "No, I know you. You do aprons right? (gulp. yeah that's me I'm thinking to myself) "And you do your photos in black and white and leave the aprons in color."

HOLY COW! (i'm freaking out inside) "Yeah, that's me. wow!" I said to her. "See, I knew I knew you. I get around the blogging world!" said Anna so chicly.

Anyway, we continue to chat for a minute but I was blown away! She really is a genuinely nice person. thank you Anna for making my day! Here's a few photos from her award winning first place booth!










And check out her cool hair! It's short in the back and tapered up the to the front so it looks long! another surprise from Anna!



This post is getting really long and I'm not done yet..............so let's wrap it up with Tina Givens. Loved her accent! She grew up in Africa and now lives in Canada. She has a great story and her booth and personality reflected her wisdom and experiece - I thought anyway.


Ok, I still have a few more stories to share! Until then, enjoy your weekend!
