We loved it!

We arrived home yesterday, landing in a huge storm. The passengers all clapped after landing. It was bumpy, rocky and the pilot flew right through the thick clouds on a wing and a prayer. I’m so glad to be home!

If you have fun, meet a lot of new people, and laugh a lot, it’s a successful market! We had a great market! Here’s a few of my “cutie” pictures from market.

We ran into the APQ girls the first day, wearing PAJAMAS! They had a kick off going that was clever and creative. Slippers too, oh my how cute is that?

American Patchwork

And remember that cute trailer with the red dots I showed you in the Michael Miller booth? Look at the finished version! The back is open and filled with water bottles! It’s surrounded by large trees and I swear you’d think you were camping. It was darling!

I ran into Pat Sloan in the hallway. She’s as cute as ever. Don’t know how she does it!

Pat and Anne

Then Mark Lipinski came along. I’m sure he’s been called cute way too often! Must be the eyes. Looking good there Mark!

Mark & Me

And speaking of cute, just look at my friend Kimberly , owner of The Fat Quarter Shop! She is just so dang cute and can you believe she just had twins?

Kimberly and Me

And Jennifer from Shabby Fabrics! She’s another friend and a “cutie”.

Here we are packed up and ready to leave. Anne B ran over and addded the pumpkin. Cute!

Kind of cute

And just before we left Anne Bryson handed me this birthday card…

Hugs to everyone!

Anne, it was great to meet you and I surely hope the antics of the 3 of us (Rachel, Julie and I) didn't offend you. I am usually a calm person. I still want to make that lil bitsy dog...as soon as it is available at the FQshop..I'm there.

Cute! I am wondering who is the person that you admire so much it brought you to tears. And Chelsea is MUCH cuter than the card! Heehee!

Thanks so much for the market posts! And hope you have a wonderful birthday! I can't wait to hear who you met who brought you to tears...think if I ever get to market there might be a few like that on my list...so many creative geniuses in the quilt industry!

Loved the teardrop trailer the first time I saw it. Clever idea with the water. I have many quilts in my home completed from Jennifer's Shabby Fabrics. Chelsea could easily pose for a birthday care..thanks for sharing the good times. Louise

Rachel said...

Oh what fun! It must have been so hard to pack up and leave.

Your 'Le Jardin' quilt looks fabulous. Love it!

Jill had told me about their pajama schoolhouse (I love it!)... fun to see them! Anne, all of your photos are so beautiful and everyone glows when they stand next to you. Not that they don't already glow... but extra glow!

I can't wait to see who's got your cup of admiration all filled up. First you make me wait in agony for the 5th of the month each month to roll around... and now this. I bet you were the one behind Who Shot J.R., too.

Sinta Renee said...

Welcome back home! I hope you get some rest now... if that's even possible! You are just so darn cute Anne! I am anxious to hear who the mystery person is...who you obviously adore!?!

Sue said...

Happy Birthday, Anne! Enjoy the day with your family!
