That's right, it's Quilt Market week! All my projects are done and I am just putting the finishing touches on last minute details, checking my to-do lists, and packing things up. Something tells me I have forgotten something, but that might just be nerves. I need to trust in all my prep work and planning and let it all go now. Time for some fun!
This is my third time at Market with a booth. I will be displaying quilts and sewing projects made from my newest Art Gallery Fabrics fabric line--Coastline.
This is just a little sneak peek into some of the projects I made with Coastline fabrics for my Quilt Market booth. Be watching my social media (Instagram, Facebook, and Periscope) for updates and full reveals during Quilt Market. It's gonna be pretty exciting!
A lot of exhibitors and attendees of the show have buttons to give and collect. Personally I haven't gotten into collecting buttons so I did not have any made. I still wanted to have a takeaway from my booth (other than promotional postcards) and came up with a fun Take & Make packet that attendees can takeaway from my booth.
I have a glassine envelope takeaway that contains 7 English paper-piecing paper templates and 7 fabric rectangles to take and make either a Hexie Doilie or Hexie Clutch project. Once you English paper-piece the hexies together you can decide which project to complete. A fun little project for traveling and I have 72 envelopes prepared with either Gossamer or Sketchbook fabric swatches in each of the colorways. Supplies are limited so if you are going to Quilt Market, stop by booth #1322 and pick one up as a token of my appreciation.
Not going to the Market? Well, because I love you too, I have made a free PDF pattern download of this project. You of course will have to cut out your templates from the full-size paper-piece pattern provided and supply your own materials, but you can also enjoy a bit of handi-work paper-piecing as well. Find the pattern on my Free Patterns page.
Stop by the booth and say "hi" if you're going to Market. If not, keep watching on social media for Market updates.
