Fall Market Finds, Part II

I'm back to give you a few more treats-for-the-eye to enjoy from my trip to Market . . .

I've been following artist/painter Laura Gunn since her first Michael Miller collection release during Spring Market in Minneapolis a few years ago.

I can say the same about Patty Young who also designs for Michael Miller. I used one of her first collections (perhaps it was her first?) when I designed my Box of Chocolates pattern. Her Textured Basics, shown here, are adorable.

Two new collections for Robert Kaufman: The first is Architextures by Carolyn Friedlander, with quilt called Science Fair by Julie Herman, Jaybird Quilts (left). The second is Valentina by Valentina Ramos with quilt called Traffic, also by Julie.

One of my favorite designers, Sue Spargo, teams up with Wendy Morris with Folkloric Blooms for Robert Kaufman. Absolutely darling.

A playful quilt using Sandy Gervais' new collection called Snap Pop for Moda.

And finally, gorgeous fabrics by a variety of artists for Anna Griffin and Anna Griffin's Blend division.

What's your favorite? I'd love to know!

Hope you enjoyed your small tour of Fall Market. Sure wish I would have had time to spend taking more photos for you to enjoy. Next time for sure!

I am brand new to quilting. Since February I have lost 52 pounds, avoiding things like fat and chocolate. This prize of fat quarters and chocolate would be DELICIOUS!! Thanks for picking me as the winner!
