Quilt Market

I've been seeing posts and pictures and updates from Quilt Market the last few days.  I was lucky enough to go a few years back (like 7) when it was in Utah.  It was so much fun, and an experience I hope to get to enjoy again soon.  

Although I didn't get to quilt market - I did feel a small part of helping a few of my favorite designers get ready for market.  

I was so excited to be able to quilt 2 of Camille's new patterns.

First up was Puddle Jumping - isn't that just the most perfect name for this quilt?   

Camille wanted the Baptist Fan for this one.  

I LOVE this pattern and love the blues and greens used in this quilt.  The new line April Showers is such a fun line - and has so many great prints in it. 

Camille has some great pictures here and she made a multi colored version that is on the cover that is so cute too!  

Her next quilt I quilted was Starlight and I was head over hills in love with this quilt.  I'm a sucker for stars and this one was so cool and different from what I've seen out there.  She made a version with green polka dots and a navy version.  They are both great, but I loved the big star here that the polka dots form.  Looking at the quilt I was thinking this would be a complicated quilt to sew together, but Camille told me it was a breeze - I wasn't sure I believed her, but once I opened up and read the pattern she was right!  It actually looks like it will go together quickly and I can't wait to get going on mine!

Camille wanted the Orange Peel for her pattern and I love how this turned out.  This is such a great quilt pattern.  Modern yet, vintage, adds so much texture to the quilt without taking away from the pattern and fabrics.  I really love how it turned out.  

Its hard to see in this picture - but Camille has some great ones on her blog.  

The backing for both quilts she used the umbrella prints - aren't they so cute!  Can't wait for this line to come out.  I'll be buying in bolts!

I also got to quilt these 2 new patterns from Sherri from A Quilting Life

First up is Splash

This quilt was made using Day Dreams by Kate Spain.  These prints are bright, bold and fun!  I love the checkered sashing in this quilt!  Such a fun, different idea!  Can't wait to make one of my own.  

Sherri chose Orange Peel which looked great on this quilt - and look at the back below!  How awesome does that look on a solid backing????  I love this pattern! 

You can see some better pictures over at Sherri's blog

Her next pattern is called Blossoms and I can't wait to make one of my own!

Sherri chose Clam shells.  I love this pattern for several reasons.  I think it is so simple and understated, yet has such a bold statement.  Is that possible?  I thought this went perfect with the fabrics.  At first glance looks like umbrellas or rain drops a little which fit the fabric line April Showers just perfect.  This quilt is on my to do list in the near future.  

I am so lucky to have been able to join in the pre market fun!  Thanks Sherri and Camille for letting me part of this fun and crazy time!
