Market

Mom and I had a great first day at Market, lots of good things happening in SunFlower Land (I'll let ya'll know soon)!!  Anywho, here are some photos from our first day and I plan on taking lots more tomorrow!

Angela Walters, myself and the quilt top I made for her booth! It's one of her patterns from her new book, In Studio With Angela Walters!!  I was able to put it together during one naptime and it is Jelly Roll friendly!!

Anna Maria Horner and myself

I picked up her new Embroidery book today!! Embroidery is becoming super popular again and I'm loving it!!

The Butlers and myself, Amy & David!! Love these two and their awesome fabrics! I just love that her hubby is now designing fabrics!!

Joel Dewberry and I, he is super nice and I'm totally loving his new Notting Hill fabric line!

The fabulous Ms. Tula Pink!!

My mom and Tula's mom!!! Tula's mom started Ihearttulapink.com where she sells nothing but Tula Pink fabrics and out of print goodies!! So if ya'll would go to her website please and purchase all of the fabrics and send them to me, that would be AMAZING!! :) just kidding.....but seriously that would ROCK! :)

Angela Walters

Sorry it's been so quiet around here for the past month or so.  My husband is a high school teacher/coach and we were finally able to vacation in July after football and baseball stuff was on a little break.  Anywho, I've been super busy around here with lots of fun/creative stuff happening....more on that another day. 

Today, I was LUCKY enough to go hear Angela Walters speak and give a class on machine quilting!! AH, can you believe it?!?! For those of you who don't know who the talented Angela Walters is, I suggest going to her blog Quilting Is My Therapy and see all the fun stuff she's got going on over there! She has a blog where she tells you what she is up to, a portfolio of a bunch of her amazing work, and a fun quilting forum where you can connect with other quilters! She is an AMAZING machine quilter who quilts all of Tula Pink's quilts as well as a bunch of other really cool people. Her first book also came out this summer called Free Motion Quilting, which you can purchase here on Amazon or here on her blog to get a signed copy.  I HIGHLY recommend getting her book and I cannot wait for her next one to come out this fall!

Angela, it was a pleasure meeting you today and I learned so much from your class and presentation! Thanks for all your hard work and inspiring so many!

Enjoy the photos, I took a TON of photos of her in action but I'll only share a few today!

Some of Angela's samples (just a few...I took SO many photos of her awesome samples!)

And just a few photos of some of her quilts from her book!  They are even more awesome in person! 

Again, thanks Angela for coming to St. Louis, you were fantastic.....and everyone GO BUY HER BOOK......TRUST ME!

MMM Swap

I participated in the Make Mine Modern Swap again!!  Today was the deadline to send and I made it just in time!  I highly recommend participating in this swap, it's always super fun and inspiring!

Here is what I made for my partner!  She hasn't received it yet so I can't say too much about it because I don't want to give it away!   I forgot to take a photo of all the goodies so hopefully she will when she gets them!  I made her this pillow that was inspired by a quilt made by the amazing Tula Pink!!  What do ya'll think??

Playing with scraps

Today I decided to play around with some scraps and I whipped up this little baby!! It's going to be a wall hanging for my sewing room!  I got the top done today and still need to quilt it...but I thought it turned out pretty cute and I wanted to share it with ya'll!

This was before any applique

And after I appliqued a cat on it!!

Close up of the cat...oh yes I used some of my favorite Tula Pink Flutterby fabric!!

Tula Pink is AWESOME!!

Go to my Mom's Blog to see what Tula Pink has to say about our new Mystery Quilt!! I LOVE HER!  Thanks for being awesome Tula!
