Spring Quilt Market 2012: FreeSpirit – Tula Pink

27 Jun 2012 | Other RSS posts by

Oh, Tula Pink always gets me in my rainbow-lovin’ heart.

Tula was at market in full force, with a huge booth to showcase two lines, Nightshade (out now) and The Birds and the Bees (July/August). The space was divided down the middle with the two line’s color palettes, but still meshed beautifully together, like a really well-adjusted split-personality.

 

The Book! You have it, right?

 

The Birds and the Bees features 29 quilting cottons,

Spring Quilt Market 2012: FreeSpirit/Westminster – Anna Maria Horner

Headline, folks: Anna Maria Horner has gone wild.

I mean, there was a panther in her booth. A purple and orange panther. It was crazy, and also?  AMAZING.

Anna’s new line(s), Field Study No 1 and 2, have diverse and unique sources of inspiration, from avian migratory patterns to plant DNA slides. They are all, however, united by the common “sense of adventure and the idea of investigating the natural

Spring Quilt Market 2012: FreeSpirit/Westminster – Valori Wells

14 Jun 2012 | Other RSS posts by

Stepping into Valori Wells’ booth was like stepping in to a summer picnic, with fabric EVERYWHERE, including the floor! Somehow I resisted the urge to climb into her hammock filled with quilts, but I was definitely tempted. Valori’s nature-inspired designs and friendly demeanor really seem to embody the idea of a free spirit!

Spring Quilt Market 2012: FreeSpirit/Westminster – Denyse Schmidt

09 Jun 2012 | Other RSS posts by

Like a lot of other “Modern Quilter” hoodlums, the first quilting book I ever owned was Denyse Schmidt Quilts. It completely shaped the way I make quilts, so of course I was a bit intimidated to meet The Denyse Schmidt!

Denyse’s new fabric collection Chicopee (arriving in stores third quarter of 2012!) is bright and peppy, as was her booth this year. Half of the booth was a giant inspiration wall to show

Spring Quilt Market 2012: FreeSpirit/Westminster – Joel Dewberry

Joel Dewberry is one of just a few guys in the row of Westminster/FreeSpirit designers, and I think that he holds the banner high: Real Men Aren’t Afraid of Ruffles.

 

This market, Joel was showcasing his rapidly expanding line of sewing patterns, Eclectic Modern.

Spring Quilt Market 2012: FreeSpirit/Westminster – Amy Butler

01 Jun 2012 | Other RSS posts by

I was very excited to be tasked with photographing the Westminster/FreeSpirit designer booths; they are always such incredible displays of creativity and inspiration, and this year was no exception! As always, Amy Butler‘s space was immaculately styled and a perfect representation of her new line, Cameo.

Cameo seems to marry the Asian-inspired aesthetic of Amy’s last few
