I stood in awe for quite some time taking in the award winning artwork of Tammie Bowser at her Quilt Market booth. She explained her process for making her beautiful quilts in about 6 easy steps and both my daughter and I were hooked.
We are ordering her software.
Take a look at Quilted Photo and become inspired but most of all, from all the techniques I’ve seen at 9 years of Market attendance, believe me when I say that she’s got the technique that any quilter can use to make a stunning art quilt based upon a photograph. What a super class this would be for any quilt shop.

The booth was always swarming every time I walked past May Arts – - their ribbons, trims, rick racks (one and a half inch wide rick rack! In the most delicious colors!) in polka dots, ginghams, metallics and pin stripes and oh, so much more.
Hot, hot, HOT! Kay is as cute as her clothes, and (wonderful man!) her husband is right there supporting her efforts. With a booth at Quilt Market and lots of projects in the works, she is one hard working and very stylishly dressed lady, wearing her own designs!
Surf on over to Serendipty Studio or just soak in her blog posts, to find inspiration and eye candy. Here’s her Sophia Trench Coat Pattern and she’s got lots more patterns where this one came from………
How wonderful is it to meet up with someone you have come to admire from what you’ve read on the internet? That’s what happened for me at Houston Quilt Market. Krause Publications author Maggie Ball of Dragonfly Quilts was at Market and our paths crossed several times, but it wasn’t until I returned home that I tied her together with her efforts to bring quilting and home industry to Mongolia, a project that I’d admired when I found it surfing the web.
Her new book is a treasure, Bargello Quilts with a Twist, and Maggie has also designed fabrics for David Textiles, in addition to traveling and teaching. I believe that I talked her into starting a blog – stay tuned!
