Styl MOD quilt 80" x 80"

Here's a MARKET quilt finish!  This fabric line is from New Castle Studios (Newfabs.com) using there STYL MOD line.(see the entire line at that link).  This one will be hanging at the Newcastle Booth.  ( LIKE them at Facebook http://www.facebook.com/Newcastlefabrics)

Do you all know what "Quilt Market" is?

It's the trade show for the quilt industry, not open to the public, only to people in the trade, like quilt shops, fabric companies, craft publishers etc... So this quilt will hang in Newcastle's booth to show their new lines of fabric, that will be available for shops to buy and stock.  

This time of year is often a mad rush to get product made, as many fabric companies only get their fabrics a few weeks before market.  Often fabrics rcvd in limited quantities, so then at Market, buyers place their orders, and the fabrics get ordered and printed according to what they have taken orders for.

These three prints from this line, are my favorites! I loved the flower print as it gave me a natural pattern to quilt around, which added great texture to the quilt!

As I mentioned, they get fabrics often in limited quantities, so you have to get creative in piecing fabrics together to make ends meet! I did not have enough to do a complete black flower backing, so I had to piece in some scraps to make up for it. Of course, I love that!  The same thing happened on the star, so happy accidents happen! You get a split star because that is all I had to work with! I'm actually kind of thrilled with that!

SNEAK PEEK!
Newcastle has this Christmas line "WISHES"coming out, that I absolutely LOVE! You know I am an obsessed "Christmas quilt" maker! I'm eager to get my hands on this group! The lime green, red and aqua are right up my alley!

What else happens at Market?  

BOOK RELEASES!!!  

My Book releases at Market for shops to order!  Which means, I will be doing a "school house" presentation on my book, (10/26 Friday at 4:20 CTpub room 371E) A "school house" is showing new products for buyers to come and listen in, as you talk about your product. In my case, it's my book. I will be showing them quilts from the book, and chatting, and Saturday will be doing a trunk show with Simplicity at 3pm  and also at 11am, a book signing!  

So between making quilts at the last minute for fabric companies, and preparing for my book stuff, this is why it's been a bit quiet on the blog and very busy over here... But so much fun!
