Quilt Market Schoolhouse Presentations

Pennsylvania Rose quilt from our 
Emporia Rose book for C&T Publishing.


Karla & I did a schoolhouse presentation on Thursday at Quilt Market in Pittsburgh.
We talked about our new applique book and showed some samples of the quilts.


The book will be shipped mid-June 2014.

A few copies were shipped in by air, and this was the
first time we'd seen it.


Then on to the United Notions presentation where each of the Moda
designers at Market talked for 5 minutes about their new fabric
collections. 
Moi and Richmond Reds

Here are some pictures from my side of the room.

Pat Sloan and Laurie Simpson waiting their turns.

One for You; One for Me

Remember these are sneak previews. Shop owners are pre-ordering
this week and fabric won't be shipped for months.
Our Outlaw checking our timing---5 minutes each.

I loved the large print found in an old feedsack.
