Quilt Market ReCap Day 4

taralynnbaisden
Are you enjoying these Quilt Market photos?  Here are a few more!
Here’s me again – sitting at my super cool treadle table that I used as a little office space in my booth!  I bought this neat piece of furniture at an antique shop here locally and really lucked out on the price!  I paid $20 or $25 – one or the other – I cannot remember now, but I snatched it up quick when I first saw it!

And here is Lynne Hagmeier designer of all those wonderful patterns published under the name – Kansas Troubles Quilters, her husband and her daughter.
I had the great pleasure of having Lynne as a chauffeur the day before set up at Quilt Market.  Pam Buda and I road along with Lynne as she took us to a bunch of really awesome antique shops and then a fabulous Mexican restaurant.  Many goodies were found and I really enjoyed that peaceful and relaxing day out shopping!  The perfect thing to do before all the work of setting up a booth for Quilt Market!

And here we have Nancy Rink Designs

Quilt Market ReCap Day 1

taralynnbaisden
I haven’t done a whole lot of sharing some of the photos I took from Quilt Market, so for the rest of the week – I’m going to do just that!

A lot of the photos I’ll be sharing over the next week were taken by Pam Buda of Heartspun Quilts – she snapped a lot of good ones where as a lot of mine were taken with my IPad and I appear to need a bit more practice with it!  I’m a bit shaky with that thing – should have carried around my good Nikon camera – but oh well – live and learn!

Enjoy my Quilt Market ReCap!

Here is Miss Pam herself, along with Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings in the center and myself on the right.

And next we have some pictures from some of the goodies in Lisa’s booth:

 Here is Kathy of The Cottage at Cardiff Farm she introduced some really neat patterns at quilt market also!

Here is “one half” of The Quilt Crow Design team!!  Love their new book and their patterns are awesome!

Next we have Paula and Mary Ellen of Red Crinoline Quilts (formerly Bonnie Blue Quilts)  Love their stuff – always have, always will!

And that will do it today!  See ya tomorrow!

More Little "Peeks" for you…..

taralynnbaisden

Yesterday I gave you a few teeny, tiny glimpses at what myself and 15 other designers have been doing “behind the scenes” for months now.  We have a secret project that is very near completion and will be introduced to the quilting world – oh so soon!
Here’s another little glimpse:
Oh gosh, I just cannot take the anticipation any longer – here’s another peek:
OK – I have to stop there – and you will just have to stop back here tomorrow to see the “unveiling” of our secret project!  I cannot stand the suspense any longer!
In other news – I’m out the door today to visit yet another quilt show – as long as the weather holds up and no nasty storms come through – I’ll be taking in a large selection of gorgeous quilts!
Have a great Saturday – and we’ll see you back here tomorrow for the “unveiling” ceremony!

Surprises in store for you….

taralynnbaisden
Are you curious what happens when you gather up 16 awesome quilt designers and toss them all together to create a “secret” project to introduce to Quilt Shops all over the USA and abroad, which in turn will bring a fabulous new Block Of The Month program to each of you – our valued customers and fellow quilt lovers?
Well, I’ve got another little sneak peek for you (I’m just so terrible for posting so many of these sneak peeks lately!!!  Ha Ha!!).  I’ve been busting at the “seams” now for months – not saying a word what we have been working on – long distance mind you – the 16 designers involved in this little surprise that will be unveiled in Kansas City for International Quilt Market in May 2012 are spread out all over the USA.  But thanks to our creative minds and talents – that didn’t matter.  
Are these cute – gorgeously put together little star blocks “peeking” your interest yet?
These little stars are part of the “secret” project that we will be unveiling on April 1st, 2012 on a very special little blog.
Oh, but I cannot help myself.  Stop back tomorrow and I’ll give you another small glimpse of what you will see starting this Sunday, April 1st!
