If you may recall, I recently spilled the beans about a project I have been slaving away working on behind the scenes this year - my new baby Stitcherie.
I had planned on attending more than one day, but as per my usual luck, scheduling got in the way and I was only able to attend Saturday. I sure am thankful that Fall Quilt Market takes place in my city, or else things may have been a little dicey.
Being a veteran Quilt Festival attendee every fall for years now, I thought I would be prepared for Market. There are no words for the exhaustion I still feel today writing this post. Not only am I physically worn out, but I had no idea how mentally draining it would be.
I am still trying to wrap my head around every one I saw, met, talked to, and hung out with. Notice I am focusing on people here. Yes, Market is a fabric utopia, but the special memories will always be about the people.
In one day, I met so many people I respect and admire. I had no idea how overwhelming this would feel. I met fabric designers, bloggers, pattern designers.
I am having to restrain myself from name-dropping, but trust me, if you follow them on Instagram, I think I met them. It was a dream.
I wish I had photos to share of everyone I met, but like I said, it was so overwhelming, so I only have a few shots from early in the day before things got really crazy busy.
As for the fabric, I have that covered. Stay tuned for a post full of fabric goodness!
Kristan, I am in the Houston area. Do you have a brick and mortar shop? I have only found 2, one in Huffman and one in Humble. .thank you. Amy
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to tomorrow's post! I had a designer clothing boutique for years and know just what you mean about going to market being exhausting. Who new shopping was such hard work!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you have in store for your store :) I went to market today, and I was completely overwhelmed! It was so amazing and exhausting.
