Happy Monday awesome sewers!

I hope you enjoyed your weekend as much as I did! Today, I get to continue our Quilt Market recap! I’m thrilled to be able to tell you about the second part of the Spring 2016 Quilt market. First of all, it was my first time at Quilt Market and  it was a unique experience for me. Getting to talk to all the awesome sewers, pattern makers, shop owners, quilters and designers really got me thinking about how big and popular this industry is! Also, I had the opportunity to meet all the Art Gallery Fabrics' designers. They were all so nice and filled with so many creative ideas! Their booth’s were amazingly decorated and they all had such warm personalities.

Today, you guys will be able to see how beautifully decorated the booths of Sharon Holland, Maureen Cracknell and Bari J were.

Let’s start with the fabric collection Tapestry by Sharon Holland:

This collection is an eclectic mix of multicultural – inspired motifs combining the traditional designs with modern graphic brush strokes. It inspires tranquility with its earthy and pastel tones. Tapestry, is characterized by the combination of neutral colors that can be used in any season of the year.  As you can see in the picture, the booth had a spring-summery look. Also, all the details made in each of the projects were made with Aurifil Thread. We loved how she managed to make her booth look so fresh and modern without leaving behind that crafty touch. Visit Sharon's Holland blog to learn more about this collection.

Now, let me tell you about Maureen Cracknell’s booth:

By just looking at the booth you could totally get the essence of her upcoming fabric collection Nightfall. This collection was inspired by the beauty of the night and how the moon shines in its different phases.  It reminded me of the Peter Pan story. I could have stayed hours staring at it, just daydreaming about all the cool things I did as a kid. Also, take a look at those detailed pillows. The details were made with Aurifil thread, and they look amazing! Check out Maureen's Craknell blog to see more about this collection.

It's time to look at Bari J's new fabric collection: Joie de Vivre!

The inspiration behind this collection are all those little things that make us smile, such as puppies, butterflies and birds. She portrays her exuberant enjoyment of  life and she paints the essence of her style with vibrant gem colors. What I really loved about this collection is how all the colors match together so well and they perfectly represent nature at its finest. If you would like to know more about this collection, you can visit Bari J.'s blog and check out all the projects that she made for Quilt Market and more. 

These pictures say it all! Everything was a total success and we were all humbled by the great feedback we received. Thank you to everyone that stopped by the booth and appreciated all the hard work that the AGF team and designers did!

I hope you guys enjoyed this post! Stay tuned for the third part of the recap that’s coming up tomorrow!

Best,

Caro
