A Grateful Giveaway!

If you have been reading our posts lately, you will know that we had a great time in Houston for Quilt Market and Festival. We had so much fun and saw so many awesome fabrics and products that we thought we would share a little bit more about what we saw and what we bought.

During market we wandered around looking at all the eye candy available. We saw new lines of fabric, helpful new tools, beautiful silk ribbons, and threads galore. It was a bit overwhelming at first, but we hit our stride and began working through the list of exhibitors we wanted to see.

We have both wanted to try combining embroidery and English paper piecing, so we headed over to the Paper Pieces booth to see what we could find. We were warmly welcomed by the owner, Joanne, and given some sample products to try; however, we had no fabric, so that became our next quest: find fabric to use for our English paper piecing samples.

We didn't have to travel far when we happened upon the Blend Fabric's booth and were instantly captured by some of their whimsical designs. Little Red Riding Hood, for obvious reason, caught our eye, as well as many of their other fabric lines.

As we searched for more fabric—because who doesn't need more fabric—we stopped at Villa Rosa Designs. We loved the combinations of fabrics they put together to go with their pattern cards, so of course, we had to buy some of their half-yard sets.

Since threads are an important part of what we do, the Wonderfil booth was on our list of places to stop. We purchased a few sets of the Sue Spargo Eleganza thread and completed our collection of the Invisafil threads for our appliqué. While we were having fun chatting with the gals in the booth, we received a few a samples of some new threads to try.

Toward the end of our week, we stopped at the EdMar booth and tried not to drool over the amazing Brazilian embroidery threads and kits. We purchased a variety of threads and an adorable kit complete with all we would need to finish it.
