Fall Quilt Market 2014 {Yah!}

But first a bit of news! Just before Quilt Market, my family and I moved back home to St. Louis. We are sad to leave Houston behind but are super excited to be back in St. Louis. 

So here’s me, looking goofy in my big sunny G’s, just crossed over the Oklahoma/ Missouri state line. 

Now, we are staying temporarily in a corporate apartment, which is great. But we are ready for a home.  But we are waiting for our house in Houston to sell. Prayers appreciated! 

Ok, back to the market recap. Like last year, I took a bunch of pictures and posted them to my instagram account (@bryanhousequilts). The pictures are all there and you can check the #quiltmarket for everyone’s tagged photos. All my photos are also in my flickr stream if you prefer.

The pictures speak for themselves, but I’ll touch on a few highlights.

I really enjoyed market, naturally! I also was able to go wander a bit around the actual Quilt Festival. I loved how the red and white quilts, made to celebrate Quilt Fest’s 40th anniversary, were hung way up high. They were all beautiful and magnificent especially hung like a crown above the convention center. 

Did you see the owls? They are a new pattern coming soon from Heather Bailey. 

It seems that looking at my pictures, I really loved Allison Glass’s booth. Allison had so much to see in her booth. It was neat to see how many people from the crafty world had helped her out to make all the pretty things. And she basically has her booth in rainbow order, which I obviously love. 🙂

I also enjoyed Maureen Cracknell’s booth. And Maureen is just a delight in person and so truly talented! She won an award for her booth, which I’m sorry to say I wasn’t around to celebrate with her in person. But all the details she had in booth were so fun to look at. 

There was so much to see, and I only got to stay for one day. Which was great, but so hard to try to fit it all in. Really and truly, the best part of market is reconnecting with friends, and meeting new people. The people I met were so warm and passionate about what they do.
