Quilt Market Week

Well, here we are again, it's Quilt Market Week.  Saturday Morning Quilt Shop owners from around the world will rush in to try to find the newest and greatest for their shop and their region of the world.  I am here at 4:30 in the morning of set-up day with a stacks of patterns that need folding and bagged.  Template instruction sheets and headers that need folded and what seems like a Million Templates ready for packaging.  We are still waiting for a shipment of bags to replace the defective ones sent a couple weeks ago.  Defective Bag??  I'm not ready yet....but I will be!! 

We are looking forward to the debut of 'McKenzie Moose'!!  Her new Quilt: Meet the Family introducing her twins to the world. Of course Cliffsbear has a new Banner/Table Runner with optional placemats....And Bears, Oh My!!  An exciting year for Boulder Creek Designs. 

Pictures to come soon......

Matty Takes a Wife

October 11-14, 2012 is the Pacific International Quilt Festival in Santa Clara, California.  Our show quilt Matty Takes a Wife is on his way to be displayed by 'The Christmas Shoppe' in the Vendor's Hall.  Any Matty Moose fans out there in Beautiful California, plan on attending and stop by

Mary Jane Carey's booth to say Hi!

 

 

Speaking about Matty Moose, his wife's name is McKenzie Moose.  This fall at the Houston International Quilt Market McKenzie Moose will make her debut and join our line of Templates.  All the Animals are excited.  We will also be at the Houston International Quilt Festival (open to the public).  Come by our Booth and see McKenzie and the Twins!

Fall Market

It's September already and there is a chill in the air.  Of course, here in Texas that could last a day or two.  I am looking for to being cold again and wearing a sweater, haha.  2012 Fall Quilt Market is right around the corner.  October 27, 28, 29.  We are in Booth 802 this year.  We have had a busy summer with the babies and all.  Whoops!  I am not going to tell you anymore but there are twins. 

Christmas in July

My husband and I were watching Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel and I was wondering where did the saying 'Christmas in July' come from?  Christmas, the commercial part is so stressful, why would we want to do this twice?  For organized people, you are starting your shopping now. Quilters, and crafters are beginning to make their presents and I am designing another quilt for Quilt Market.  Here's a hint.....Log Cabin.  Check back to see what's new.    

Winner of the Polk-a-Dots

So the winner is Nelda.  Her comment about Polk-a-Dots bringing out the little girls in all of us is so true.  Congrats!  (Send me your e-mail address, Nelda)

First Contest

June is my Birthday month and this year the Queen of England and I have something in common.  So I am going to have my first contest.  I have this lovely Fat-quarter packet from Choice Fabrics.  There are 10 black and white fat-quarters of fun Polk-a-dots and such.  All you have to do is tell me why you like Polk-a-dots.  Just leave me a comment and we will choose the best answer.  June 27th is the last day to post your comments.  Good Luck!! 

I'm still thinking about Spring Quilt Market in Kansas City, MO...a wonderful town, by the way...and I wanted to share a photo from my booth neighbor Joyce.  She got this from a fabric company whose booth was decorated like a Barnyard.  Very fun!
