Quilt Market recap and giveaway: Day two

One of the cool thing about attending Quilt Market in person is seeing similar trends popping up. I think one of the trends I noticed is the increase in deeper, richer tones showing up in fabric. A great example is Splendor 1920 from Bari J for Art Gallery.  The dusky blues combined with the apricot gave her booth a modern, luxurious feel.

Amy Butler had some similar deep blues in her booth, paired with the always popular turquoise/aqua and some richly hued reds. I swear she can do no wrong!

I was really inspired by this quilt that she had hanging. I think I am going to do something along these lines for my pillow talk pillow. It looks very Anthropologie and can’t be too hard to figure out!

Next door in the Parson Gray booth, the blues and been sunwashed and mixed with some browns. I really wish that skirt had come home to live with me. It has such a classic, pretty look to it!
You can see the same deep blues, rich reds and opulent feel in the Anna Maria booth.

This booth had such a comfortable feel to it. And that couch is a major ‘wow’ point in person. Anna Maria was there showing off the new Field Study Voiles and Flannels. Her Field Study linens are coming in the spring and are amazing! She also mentioned a Garden Party/Drawing Room mashup that I will surely have in my shop in the first part of next year. Can’t wait!

So, that’s day 2 of my recap. Tomorrow I’m going to show off one of the most wild things I saw at Market and Joel Dewberry’s upcoming Notting Hill range. I’m super excited for it! I was able to glimpse the fabrics at Sewing Summit and fell head over heels.

Today, I have this fun little goodie bag up for grabs!

There is a fun tote bag from Kokka, with mini charms from Architextures (coming soon to my little shop!) and 2wenty Thr3e from Julie Comstock (aka Cosmo Cricket). I’ve also tucked in a booklet on Tula Pink’s Saltwater ready for you to drool over, a Quilting Arts magazine full of fun gift ideas and a full sized charm pack of Free Spirit basics. Last, but not least, there is a Liberty of London printed pencil for drafting quilt patterns or writing up your grocery lists! There is also a little card reminding you that there are some awesome free craftsy classes available for quilters!

To enter, just leave me a comment. Any old comment will do today 🙂 You can say hi, or say what you are going to be for Halloween. I have no idea what anyone in my house is going to be!

For a second entry, retweet my giveaway tweet or pin one of my tutorials to pinterest  and leave me a comment that you did so!

See you tomorrow as we continue the quilt market pics and a bigger and better bag of goodies! And don’t forget to enter the giveaway for day one of my market sum-ups 🙂

  1. What a lovely review. Those colors are wonderful and I’m glad to see them coming back around.

    I can see a list of what to get growing longer with every Quilt Market recap I’m reading.

  2. I am making an Eygptian costume for my 9 yr old girl – well at least that is what I am supposed to be doing right now.
    Cannot wait for the new AMH Garden Party/Drawing Room mash up. And the Architextures line – looks perfect. Happy Halloween!

  3. That is a totally awesome package of stuff — thank you SO much for sharing it! I hope you’re keeping something for yourself though:)

  6. No dressing up for me for Halloween this year. And trick or treating was Sunday in our town, but I am taking my boys to deliver Halloween packages to some friends! Thank you for the great giveaway!

  16. Oh Anna Maria Horner never disappoints. So beautiful. I am really looking forward to Architextures, I am guessing I will be placing an order from your shop in the near future 🙂

  17. wouldn’t that be an awesome win?!! Oh, how I wish that I could have fondled all of the new lines coming out. I would have spent an entire day just looking at the Moda lines, not to even mention the fabulous Free Spirit lines that you see here. great post!

  18. Hi! I dressed as a steampunk, my 4 year old daughter is a princess (original) and my 2 year old refuses to wear the penguin hoodie I made him despite his love of penguins!

  20. I’m loving your market recaps! And your givaaways are so generous – Thankyou!
    I am being mean this year and all my kids are wearing last year’s costumes – they’re happy about it though 🙂

  22. Hi, I retweeted your tweet.

    BTW I just recently made a purchase from your etsy shop and I can’t wait to start on my first quilt. I ‘found’ your blog through my purchase and I can’t stop oohing and ahhing over everything!!! Sorry, sorry, I’m just going on and on anyway I just that I’d share my excitement.

  23. Market looks amazing! I love these recaps! I am dressing up as Lois Lane this year as the other half of Superman/Clark Kent!

  24. Loved seeing your photos! Thanks for sharing your goodies! I’m going to be the mother answering the door for Halloween!

  26. Hi! We don’t really do Halloween, rather we do a family movie night and this year it will be Madagascar 3 which we haven’t seen yet. Thanks for the giveaway!

  31. I pinned your crayon roll tutorial because it’s a fantastic one and on my to-do list for a Christmast present for my son 🙂

  32. I’m not going to dress up, but my 8 week old niece has some adorable costumes already. My sister just sent me a couple of pictures, and she looks so cute dressed as a skeleton.

  35. Not going as anything for Halloween…except a momma of a toddler who has a head cold. Ugh, I mean, yay!

  36. I just pinned your tutorial on using the curve master presser foot – never heard of it so I’m looking forward to trying it out!

  37. Oh! I love that tweeny 23 in the giveaway today. Thanks for sharing your market photos! I think you’ve had the best coverage. For those of us who are halfway around the globe, it’s much appreciated! Oh… and hi!

  41. I need some Architexture – it’s on my Christmas list and my husband likes it too, hurrah! Glad you had such a good time

  43. Ooh, that AB quilt looks amaze-balls! I looked on her website to see if the pattern was out there somewhere, and I didn’t see anything (whomp whomp). Hmmm, off to figure out if I can make it myself!

  45. I loved the quilts I saw made in Architextures. They look like my kind of basics. And SaltWater, drool is right. I have a little bit of Neptune to mix this with. Will be checking your store in anticipation of both. And Comma, I really liked that range too. Thanks for all the photos Amanda!

  50. I love that skirt in the Parson Grey booth! For Halloween, we will be taking the kiddos trick or treating. We went to a party on Sat and did a group costume for the first time ever. You can see it here if you’d like:

    I was fun and we got a good reaction. Plus is was almost like wearing pjs, so comfortable!
    Thank you for sharing your market recaps and goodies!

  53. I really love the Amy Butler quilt, it would make such a fantastic piece of wall art. Thanks for posting the close up of it.

  54. Great pictures…THANKS! for sharing…not the same as being there but it does lift the spirits and inspires creative ideas! 🙂

  55. oh wow! that Amy Butler quilt is so awesome!! I love triangles, what a fun way to arrange them!

  60. I’m not dressing up for Halloween, but my kidlets are going to be a peapod and a dragon/princess – she hasn’t decided yet!

  61. I love seeing all of the upcoming goodies and how the designers set up their booth for y’all. Must be fun to walk through all of that eye candy. 🙂

  63. We are in our fourth consecutive day of rain in Ontario, Canada, hope for better weather for the trick or treaters! I am planning to put on my scary rubber witchy type mask to dole out the candy for the brave that knock at my door! awolk at rogers dot com

  71. We’re going to sit at home and watch Arsenic & Old Lace in my nice cozy living room and wait for the trick-or-treaters to come.

  73. Hi! I’m not dressing up for Halloween, but my 2 year old granddaughter is dressing up as a bat. :-). Thanks for the giveaway.

  86. Wow! Maybe one day I will be able to go to Market, until then I have enjoyed seeing all the pictures. Thanks

  89. Because of Sandy – our trick-or-treating is postponed until Sunday – so I still have time to figure out costumes (and get candy on sale). Thanks for the chance to win these great goodies.

  90. I love to see everyone’s pics of QM! Looks like a lot of things happening and everyone having a lot of fun!! Thanks for the chance to win…

  92. I am just plain old mom for Halloween but my 18 month old is going as Little Red Riding Hood to the Halloween block party in our neighborhood!

  94. The mini charm packs are the cutest! I don’t think I am dressing up tommorrow, my mother-in-law wants me too, just so she can have pictures of us all dressed up. Two of my girls are being gnomes and my oldest daughter is being a peacock, I am happy to say that their costumes have been ready for awhile now, that is not always the case for me on Halloween 🙂 Thanks for the fun giveaway!

  95. That Amy Butler quilt is so cool! I’m sure you will figure out how to make it and then you can show me! Also, Anna Maria’s couch is to die for. That is all. 🙂

  98. I love reading about quilt market. The next best thing to attending! I have to agree with you, everything Amy Butler does is fantastic. Thanks for the giveaway.

  99. I’m not dressing up, but my kids are being a vampire, darth maul and a kitty cat. I invented an awesome vampire cape with this super high collar, and hacked a few Japanese girl patterns to make the body of the kitty costume (think blouse pattern turned into solar fleece sweater cause I’m lazy about finishing seams for Halloween) and made this little Oliver + S hat out of Little Things to Sew. The Darth Maul costume had to be bought, as my attempt to dye last year’s Jedi robes failed miserably and I didn’t have time to pick up fabric to make a new one in the midst of the chaos. But I figure I’m painting the Darth Maul face, so that makes up for the lack of home made costume, right?

    Long answer to a short question, sorry. Super excited about the Garden Party / Drawing Room mash up. Maybe it will encourage me to use my still stashed Garden Party.

  101. Happy Halloween! I am doing one of the Craftsy classes, the BOM, which I am loving. Have one last block to finish and tomorrow the setting comes out! Better get working. LOL

  103. Halloween isn’t that big a thing in Sweden so I probably won’t dress up. However I’ll make sure to keep lots of candy at home in case some of the neighbours kids do stop by! Happy Halloween!

  104. I’m seriously about to pee myself over her re-releasing a Garden Party/Drawing Room mash-up. The Mad Men-esque possibilities for Garden Party home dec fabric is blowing my mind! Glad you had fun and thanks for sharing your adventures/photos with us!

  108. I’m not big on dressing up for Halloween ~ but love to see all the costumes. I live in Portland, Oregon and it seems that people go all out for getting in costume! My son and dil went to a party as Johnny Romone and Edward Sissorhands, his best friend as Edgar Allen Poe with a raven on his shoulder!
    Thanks for the recap on the quilt show and the generous gifts you are giving away!

  112. I won’t be dressing up for Halloween, but my neices and nephews will be and I will be their personal photographer. Thanks for the giveaway!

  113. Thanks for the pics from Market! I am a friendly witch for Halloween – I love to dress up and visit with the treat or treaters! thankyou!

  118. Very cool tour through some of the booths at market! 🙂
    I don’t dress up for halloween, but my boys are a policeman and a Tea Bag. So we are off trick-or-treating in the snow tonight. Thanks for a chance to win some goodies! 🙂

  120. oh my gosh — can I say how much of a girl crush I have on AMH? Seriously… how does she do it?

    I was planning on making Scarlet’s Halloween costume, but Costco came through with a ladybug for us yesterday! 🙂

  126. So, ya, Architextures. That line really does it for me. I loved watching you post pictures while you were at Market. I didn’t get Jack S**t done at work that day =).

  129. I so appreciate your showing us some of the scenes from quilt market. Such exciting fabric discoveries! And the projects they make with fabric is so cool to see.

    Halloween. Kind of out of the loop this year. I didn’t even put up a single decoration!

  136. Hi! It looks like you had a wonderful time….I love how the booths are set out with furniture and everything!

  137. Over the weekend I dressed up as a pinata, Tuesday I dressed up as a black cat (costume workout at my gym) and on Halloween a coworker and I did a variation on Dr. Seuss’s Thing 1 and Thing 2

  138. Our Halloween was cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy 🙁 First time I had made my sone a costume in three years – double 🙁 🙁 Oh well – we will eat our own candy, I guess.

  141. I hope you enjoyed Halloween. We had fun at a kids party where the kids particularly enjoyed a pillow fight!
    I’m drooling over all your quilt market pics. I adore Bari J’s fabrics. Thanks for your fun giveaways too 🙂

  145. Hi!! I have only just come across your blog and have been looking at your tutorials. I am in love with your hexagon chevron quilt, hexagons are one of my favourite designs and I must put this on my to do list. Thank you.

  148. For the first time I was prepared for Halloween and had goodies for all the kids from the neighbourhood coming by. When I grew up, we didn´t do Halloween here in Switzerland, so I´m still unused to it.

  150. A simple Hi as requested!
    Halloween was not to exciting at our place, so many kids.. we ran out of lollies !!!! So we had to close up “shop” pretty early! And a cranky toddler didnt help either (O:

  153. I’m commenting late (Sunday) but because of superstorm Sandy, trick-or-treating was postponed until this evening. I won’t be dressing up, but I will be passing out candy to the brave ones who are out in this cold (38 degrees and drizzling)! Thanks for sharing your goodies and the Market coverage!

  159. I was Bellatrix Lestrange for Halloween, the evil witch from Harry Potter, it was too fun! I love the warmer colors, they are so “fall” to me, and it’s great timing! All of the clothes in the stores are those colors too, love it!

  162. Just a note to say THANK YOU for sharing your trip to Quilt Market with all of us….. how fun for you (that you got to attend!), and for us as well (that we are seeing the market through your eyes!!) 🙂
