I wasn't able to make it to Quilt Market, but my quilts did! In a long round about way, the gals from Kansas City Star came to my lecture in Lawrence, and then spirited the 3 quilts you see here away to Minneapolis for Quilt Market...how cool is that? I can't believe how nice it worked out.
What you see are Crabapples, Bowdacious, and Nine in the Middle!
I wish I could have been there, but it turns out that Randy was meeting some other friends there, and I sent her with a specific mission to get a photo of the booth for me!
I'm really kicking myself because I was born in Minneapolis, I have aunts uncles, cousins and a grandfather still living there! I would have loved to have had a chance to visit with everyone, and hopefully that opportunity will come round again...
I'm post-dating this post....if you are reading this on Monday, I am on my way to Decatur Illinois for their Spring Party! Two lecture/trunkshows and a Pineapple Blossom class are scheduled...Throw the world "PARTY" into the mix, and I'm raring to go!
Great display - Bowdacious is definitely on my list of quilts to make - just love it!! I'm so very happy for your well deserved success, Bonnie!!!

Wow, I really like the Crabapple quilt! At least I'm assuming the green and red with postage stamp squares is the Crabapple quilt. Where can I find the pattern?
