Not from me. As if?!?
There are just a few more things to write about Spring Quilt Market and then we'll close that book.
A few of you asked about trends at Market and I wish I had a better answer for you. I didn't see anything that jumped out to me as an emerging trend - like punch needle, hexagons or English Paper Piecing have in years past - and I think there are a couple of reasons why that might be. First, I missed four or five Markets in succession and I'm just getting back to seeing what's at Quilt Market. And I'm a little slow to notice trends.
Someone in the office is fond of saying that "this isn't her first rodeo".
The phrase has stuck with me the past couple of weeks because while this wasn't my first Quilt Market, it often felt as though it was. It was still Quilt Market and I knew what I would see there, but my role and responsibilities would be different. Bigger, faster, more.
I mean these folks actually have a plan when they set-up the booth - a schematic? Can you imagine? Bigger. Faster. More.
Carrie’s photograph-filled posts gave you an excellent idea of the hands-on labor that goes into building Moda's Quilt Market booth. Looks backbreaking, doesn’t it?
