See the quilts! Spring Quilt Market Virtual Tour

We're back from Spring Quilt Market at photo with photos to share! Take a virtual tour of our booth--plenty of quilty goodness to see, inspiration for your next project, and new collections to look for at your local quilt shop!

We shared a few favorite Painter's Palette Solids quilts from our QuiltCon booth:

(l to r): Sun Salutation by Sheri Cifaldi-Morrill  (@wholecirclestudio)

The Donut Quilt by Tania Denyer (@iamgingerq)

Hudson Bay My Way by Stephanie Ruyle (@spontaneousthreads)

That gorgeous rainbow on the far left is Elizabeth Eastmond's Annularity II quilt (@occasionalpiecequilt). In the foreground, you see our pop-up shop. Plenty of quilt shops went home with fabric bundles--ask if your local store bought some! 

More bundles ready for a new home: Mad for Solids Final Four palettes, On Your Mark, Hoodie Crescent's Ring Ring, Portofino, Mod Tropics and batiks! 

This fabulous quilt is from M.J. Kinman's The Birthstone Series. Amazingly detailed and dimensional jewels, all using Painter's Palette Solids. Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but we'll take an amethyst, topaz and ruby as well! Wow! 

Here's your first look at Barbara J. Eikmeier's Manzanita Grove BOM quilt, featuring her Manzanita Grove collection. We introduced Barb's new line at Quilt Market; ask your local quilt shop about participating in the BOM program (starting in September 2018) to make this stunning quilt.

Hoodie Crescent's Ring Ring collection, featuring retro telephones, ink pens, pencils and more, was a huge hit! This wall organizer showcases the unique prints in the fabric line.

Maria Shell's (@mariashellart) Mosh Pit at the Golden. There's so much fun going on in this quilt! 

A little close-up eye candy:

Warp and Weft quilt by Donna Lynn Thomas, from her book Teeny-Tiny Quilts. Love the colors and the quilting! 

Have you downloaded the free pattern for On Your Mark by Simone Bradford (@simone.g.b.)? Here's a close-up of the quilting--beautiful! 

We'll be sharing more about the new collections featured at Quilt Market in the coming months! 

Welcome to our booth! (Day 2)

We spent last weekend in St. Louis at International Quilt Market, meeting shop owners and introducing them to our newest fabrics. The Painter's Palette Solids (all 168 colors) were definitely the stars of the show! (psst...if your local quilt shop isn't carrying them yet, ask them to contact us!)

Here's the second half of our booth; if you missed the post about the first half, find it here. 

"Hue Knew" designed by Maria Pate featuring Painter's Palette Solids. Such a fun sampler-style medallion quilt!

Our silky smooth cottons are perfect for sleek, classic dresses (in two styles)!

Get your fruits and veggies! Everyone loves Farmer John's Garden Party prints, and they show up beautifully in this log cabin-style design by Maria Pate.

Color Wheel, a rainbow-hued circular quilt, designed by Kim Eichler-Messmer using a huge range of Painter's Palette Solids.

Don't Tread On Me designed by Stephanie Z. Ruyle, using a gorgeous selection of Painter's Palette Solids.

And of course, the second wall of Jacquie's gorgeous art--six more colors of walking foot machine quilting designs. You can learn more about Jacquie's techniques on her website or in her newest book, Walk. We love them!

Welcome to our booth! (Day 1)

We spent the weekend in St. Louis at International Quilt Market, meeting shop owners and introducing them to our newest fabrics. The Painter's Palette Solids (all 168 colors) were definitely the stars of the show! (psst...if your local quilt shop isn't carrying them yet, ask them to contact us!)

Here's the view of half our booth; we'll share the second half later this week. 

If these look familiar, you're right! Jacquie Gering machine quilted these beauties, choosing a gorgeous palette from the Painter's Palette Solids, and we used them in our QuiltCon booth. Jacquie has since added to the collection, and we were thrilled to hang them again! 

...and, since many people asked...these are all done on a regular home sewing machine using a walking foot. You can learn more about Jacquie's techniques on her website or in her newest book, Walk. 

We have more of Jacquie's work in the booth--she created this quilt using a palette of hot reds and oranges. The quilt is unnamed--we asked attendees to leave a business card with a name suggestion--can't wait to see what Jacquie picks from the entries!

More of a showcase on solids--illusion quilts featuring Painter's Palette Solids, designed by Lisa Swenson Ruble.

Our new Woodland Friends collection, featuring the art of Charlie Zabarte, received plenty of attention at the show. Here the blocks in the panel are assembled into a stuffed block:

And the coordinates create an adorable dress for a little girl!

The America Quilt by Cynthia Wismann hung proudly in our booth again! This art quilt combines Ro Gregg's Valor collection with Painter's Palette Solids to create a design that is pure America. 

And of course the Hashtag quilt made with Painter's Palette Solids, which has become a fast favorite since its debut at QuiltCon. (You can find the free pattern for it here.)

Designer (and quilt shop owner) Maria Pate stands with her bug jar quilt, made using the You Bug Me! collection. We love all the different size and shape jars, as well as the appliqued butterflies and quilted spider webs! 

In addition to viewing and ordering our new collections, quilt shop owners could make some impulse purchases. We brought a variety of precuts and Painter's Palette Solids bolts that shop owners could buy and take home right away. These flew off the shelves, so look for them in your local quilt shop!

One last quilt for side 1 of the booth. Originally a free pattern for the Elemental Lines collection, Maria Pate stitched this version using the neutral palette of the Essentials 2 collection. Find a link to the pattern here.
