Last week I shared some of my
impressions of Quilt Market: new
products, fabrics, inspirations. I’m
continuing with more this week.
1. Michael Miller Fabrics
introduced a number of new lines. In
Kathy Miller’s Schoolhouse
presentation she mentioned trends of
navy, gray and red. For sports fans,
Emily Herrick with Crazy Old Ladies
introduced Hall of Fame. Her designs
were inspired by vintage photographs
of sporting events. Mark
Hordyszynski showed his
Halloween-themed fabric complete
with glow in the dark pieces. And, I
loved the bright and cheery designs
from Pillow & Maxfield in their Ooh
La La line in Citrus, Sky and Spice
colorways.
2. Andover showed a number of
wonderful collections from its
designers. I loved the Pear Tree
line from Thomas Knauer with its
clean blues, greens and salmons. New
from Lonni Rossi are Bubbles & Swirl
and Lala’s Garden. And, the
Winterthur John Hewson
collection is based on work by this
important textile printer who came
to Philadelphia at the invitation of
Benjamin Franklin in 1773. The line
includes a large panel, florals,
birds, a border stripe and a
textured leaf print.
3. Noble Notions had some great
quilting notions. I particularly
liked their multi-use Quilters
Clamp. It can be used as a channel
lock for longarm machines or for
securing your quilt to a table for
basting. It can be used also for
hanging items from your work area,
such as a trash bag. They also offer
both hand and finger grips for
machine quilting.
4. eConcept Mall introduced a
number of useful sewing products.
The Sew Straight Guides are
positionable rulers in 1/4″
markings that go on your sewing
machine bed. They would be great for
beginning and experienced sewers
alike. Very handy is the dual thread
stand, perfect for twin-needle
sewing and also for easy bobbin
winding. I also liked the KISS Laser
Line. By positioning the laser light
on your fabric and holding the
fabric in place, you have a line to
guide your cutting. eConcept also
covers a variety of sizes of hoop
shields for embroidery.
5. I also discovered some
scissors developed by Marry J’s.
They feature a 1/4″
stop so that you can easily trim
appliqué pieces or cut into corners
without going too far.
