Issue #135-----October 2016 |

It's October! And in your house that probably means pumpkins, football & cooler weather, but in our house it only means one thing.....
It's Quilt Market time!
And THIS year, we're DRIVING to Houston, which is adding a whole new level of anxiety to this event.
So... grab a cup of something yummy, enjoy this newsletter & I'll be back next month brimming with news and inspiration straight from the Market floor!

"Handbag of the Month" Gallery- |
Congratulations to
Lieve Ongenae of Ostend, Belgium!
BUT here's the deal... we didn't have a full compliment of entries to have a good contest this month, so instead....
I'm going to take this opportunity to cast a very deserved spotlight on the spectacular bags that were created by our five pattern testers during the course of testing our new pattern for Fal2016, the Everyday Attache.

I first saw Karen Brow's quilts up close last Fall at the International Quilt Market and was immediately hooked by the sweet animal appliques combined with engaging elements that are both traditional AND modern! Among my favorites are " Oh Howly Night" and " We Bearly Made it", but you can check out here other works by clicking this link! Enjoy! |
