This year Quilt Market was located in Portland, OR and Paul and I had a terrific time visiting with our customers and meeting new people. There is a lot of work that goes into preparing for market and I’m never quite sure how it will all fit together until we are there. This year went especially well. Our Schoolhouse session was in the morning; we got the booth set up in the afternoon and met my sister for dinner in the evening. The day of set up doesn’t usually run so smoothly. Anyway here is the booth.
Starting on the left side of the booth, hangs the new O’ Christmas Tree Quilt constructed in a brighter color palette with plain borders and next to that is the scrappy version of the same quilt.
Moving to the center back of the booth is the Holiday Chorus quilt that is part of the HoneyBee Club program. A list of participating shops is on our website www.beecreativestudio.com in the HoneyBee Club section if you are interested in purchasing a kit for this quilt. I also designed all the fabrics for this project with Andover Fabrics. The bird blocks are part of a printed panel and I found lots of inspiration at the bird feeders out the studio windows.
Working around to the right side of the booth are three small holiday wall quilts and the 5 Golden Sunflower project. On the last wall of the booth are the three projects included in the Holiday Dressings pattern. The tree skirt and table runner can be made with a pieced quilt block (on the wall) or the bird blocks from the panel (over table and under tree). For a slight twist, I made stocking hats instead of the traditional toe stocking – very fun and easy to make.

It was nice to meet new people.
I’m always looking for something fun to give out at market and this year Toni Foster found chocolate bees. The chocolate bees were a chocolate egg covered in foil to look like a bumble bee. I’m sad to report that on the journey to Portland a couple of bees got naked and Paul was forced to eat them.
Hope you all have a great day!

I was so sad that I didn't make it over there to see it in person.
I wanted to intoduce you to Toni so very much!
We had an awesome market. And by the looks of your beautiful new designs, I am sure you did too!
Hope one day to be able to get you up here to Montana! We won't make you teach. You can come and relax!
Take Good Care,

Hi Nancy,
Your booth looks beautiful as usual. I missed you and hope you had a great market. Surtex was good. I'll be back at Quilt Market in the Fall . . . See you then!
