This is just one of my vintage images that I love. I think I might start each post with one of these. I had the pleasure of driving around the sweet little town of Napa yesterday. And when I say around, I really mean around since the google instructions that the quilt guild I was speaking to sent me, sent me on a roundabout path that ended up at a U-Haul facility instead of the auditorium where I was supposed to speak :-)!! It was all good in the end… Anyway, I finally did arrive, gave my presentation and…

I know I haven’t posted any pictures of Market since I’ve been back…and some of you have been waiting patiently for something, a little decoration, a little fig, a little something… Well, I have to make a confession… for the 3rd Market in a row I have brought my camera with me and yet failed to take a single picture!

Hello there friends & fellow fabric lovers! I am back from Spring Quilt Market in Salt Lake City and I feel like I am experiencing some kind of cultural re-entry! My house is in chaos, my garden is full of weeds and blooms that haven’t been dead-headed in weeks [what’s dead-heading? my husband asks innocently :-)], my munchkins barely remember what I look like, my husband hasn’t seen a full nights rest in months and I won’t even start talking about my studio…. yikes! Although maybe later tonite, I…
