So you wish you were at Quilt Market. Join the club. Thousands of gorgeous brand new fabrics all being premiered in one place. A fabric addict’s dream.
But just because you can’t be there, doesn’t mean you’re unable to get a preview of what those lucky ducks are seeing right now! Did you know that if you follow along with some of the manufacturers or designer’s blogs – you can get snippets of upcoming lines?
These two lines are newly released by Michael Miller Fabrics, and two of my new faves…(click on images to be brought to entire collection)

So go ahead and get in on the action!
There is no need to feel sorry that you are sitting at home, go browse. Mark your calendars for when you as an individual shopper can get your hands on some of this loveliness. And then sit back and relax as you get to look forward to all of the fun recaps next week – and the moment when you can say, I knew that.
As for Quilt Market – someday, someday.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and until next time…Happy Sewing!
wow, that jacket and liberty skirts are beautiful!
Such fabric goodness…I want to surround myself in all of it!!!
Yummy!! I’m hoping to go to Market and Festival in Houston in the falL! 🙂 Thanks for sharing all these yummy lines. 🙂
Lillian just told me that “she” is going to buy the Briar Rose collection…. I better get that chore list ready! 😉
That is fabulous Zoe, I love it! That frog in the Briar Rose Collection is priceless though 🙂
Okay please help me here Jess 😉 So why are bloggers going there? Just to browse fabrics or can they (if they have a business) actually buy/order it? When I used to have a (very small) apparel company and went to the fabric fairs the problem was usually that there was such a high minimum order on fabrics and it was super hard to be a very small company. I wonder if that is the case at Quilt Market?
What you have found is absolutely gorgeous!
There are different reasons bloggers will attend Mie. For those who have thriving business, it would be to buy bolts. Some go just to fondle all of the fabric, and meet the designers. But that being said, the designers aren’t there to really mingle with bloggers – they are there to show off their work and SELL it. But you cannot buy it in small quantities for the most part, large bulk orders are required. This is a trade show for those in the business. The other reason some bloggers go is because they are working with brands that are being represented there – like Coats & Clark or Pellon.
Got it…THANK YOU!
Love this Jessica! I love those cloud pictures by Sarah Jane….so clever!
I don’t quilt, but I love using quilting fabrics for my skirts, and these babies are right up my alley!
