Fall Market 2014 - it continues!

When I talk about Fall Market in Houston, many shop owners tell me how they cannot stand Houston.  I'm really not sure why, I think it's a wonderful city.  I have no issues with Houston, perhaps it's because I was born and raised in a city.  Nonetheless, it does have some beautiful buildings, like the JP Morgan Chase building (I think that's what it is).  It caught my eye as I was walking back from the Fabshop dinner on Thursday.

Sadly, I think this building is gone!  I certainly didn't see it.  I was told that Houston does not cherish their old buildings.  It's unfortunate!  The architecture was beautiful.

This is the view I enjoyed every morning as I savored my latte.

I do a lot of walking when I travel.  I'm not one to take a cab, unless it is miles and miles away or unsafe to walk.  Of course it helps burns some of the calories from these ...

and more of these ....

On Saturday, there was a wonderful Moda Customer Appreciation party that I was fortunate to attend.  Thank you Moda!

With some Texas style Entertainment ...

With all the eating and drinking, you can see how walking is a good thing! lol  

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday ....!

Ahhhh.... No only did Stephen remember, but I woke up to these .....

I love flowers ..... Thank you!

The primitive Reproductive side of Fall Market 2014 ...!

I will admit, I was a tad disappointed on the reproductive fabric side of market.  It's the first year that I do not buy full collections, but pieces here and there.  Hum .....

There was a beautiful display at the Marcus Fabrics booth from the Quilted Crow Girls from Australia.

Jeanne Horton from Windham Fabrics had a lovely display.

Her booth was so inviting .... Love that tumbler quilt!

Letters Home by Audrey Wright for RJR Fabrics.

Gotta include some Jo Morton from Andover Fabrics ... It's all about the hexes!

There was a cute little booth by Farmhouse Threads.  Love this display!

More Farmhouse Threads displays...

Can't forget Geoff's Mom Pattern Co ... Lovely quilts!

Stay tune for Market pictures!  Catch you later!

Back from Houston - Fall Market 2014!

I'm back from market!  What a wonderful time I had.  Always so inspirational!  This year I especially liked the quilt exhibit and wished I had not played hooky on Monday, but I'm going ahead of myself.

This is what greeted you upon entering .....

And this ... Stunning

Onward to the actual market floor.  This year I seemed to be attracted to bright colours.

A bit of inspirational eye candy ....

So colourful .....

As anyone worked with the American Made brand solids from Clothworks?  I would be interested on what you think because .... I seem to be attracted to solids and have a desire to work with them ....

Fall Market!

Look out Houston, here I come!  Looking forward to a mini business vacation.

I checked the weather and it's like in the 80'sF (27C).  Last fall, I only brought pants and long sleeve shirts, cuz that's what "they" told me I should be bringing!   This northern girl was feeling the heat!  Those frozen margaritas sure cooled me down! This year I'm dressing a little lighter!  Oh ... and still enjoying those delicious frozen margaritas! ;o)

Cheers!

Catch you later!
