Busy October

 Well first we had the Creativ Festival. That was a lot of fun (and  work!).  I loved seeing everyone who came by and talked fabric  and projects with my sisters and I. We had a great three days, and  we were very happy to be taking a lot less home than we brought  so thank you very much! Then, I headed to Houston for Quilt  Market. It was a kooky weekend. We had torrents of rain, I  actually felt a current on the sidewalk the water was so deep. I  also had a banging head cold so felt a little bashful about chatting with designers and distributors. I had a delayed departure getting down there so I missed a couple of the "Schoolhouse" designer presentations that I'd hoped to attend, but apart from all of that, it was an inspiring and fun weekend.

The highlights for me were the Japanese fabrics, there are some terrific goodies making there way here.  I also loved the new Bluebird collection from Cotton + Steel, and together with Alison Glass' Handcrafted Indigo, the world is turning bluer.  Lots of beautiful blues in many collections. I also loved the new Carkai from Carolyn Friedlander, the Ombres from V and Co and a few sparky collections from Cloud 9.

I'm back now, and not going anywhere for a few weeks so I can catch up with the rest of my life, put my house back in order, and start thinking about making something (so many ideas, so little time). Oh yeah, and Halloween!

Happy October!!
