Quilt Market Spring 2010 - Part 2

Ahhhh......now I get to tell you all about the Fabric Eye Candy that we saw at Quilt Market. First up is Amy Butler's new collection, "Soul Blossom" which should be available in October.....
Amy Butler's ability to mix colors and patterns is amazing. This exotic collection is Amy's way of sharing the culture, colors and architecture she experienced while traveling through India. It's full of dreamy jewel tones mixed together in ornate patterns. I love this brown one with a sort of Art Nouveau feel to it. It's called Fuchsia Tree and the color is Carmine....
And this is Passion Lily in Cerise Pink....
And this is Peacock Feathers in Sea Glass......
Next up is "Dream On" by Urban Chiks. Love it! Love, love, love it! (Expected to arrive in October).
This collection is meant to remind us of the bedding we had as little girls. It also reminds me of vintage Lilly Pulitzer prints. (Can you call prints that are 20-25 yrs old vintage? I dunno but I am!). These sweet florals and ticking stripes are in luscious shades of Pink Passion, Hello Yellow, Moonlight, Grass, Blue Moon and Crush. There's even a multi-patch print in two different colorways that will make perfect "cheater quilts." A cool blue colorway.....
And a warm pink and orange colorway.....
I love this delicate little Pink Passion floral print.....
And this trellis floral design in Blue Moon....
And now we move on to the It's A Hoot Collection by MoMo (expected to arrive in October).....
These little images just do not do this fabric collection justice! The owl print in the center is a huge print that's a fairy tale land full of owls and rolling hills and trees and flowers in a rainbow of colors. Like I said before - owls were a huge theme at market. They were everywhere! I'm in love with this little owl print in Raspberry.....
And these little leafy trees in Pistachio....
And these funky stripes and owls in Sky Blue.....
And now I'd like to introduce "Penelope" by Holly Holderman of Lakehouse Dry Goods which should be available around December. It was love at first sight with "Penelope". If you're around me for more than 10 seconds you'll learn that I love pink. I'm obsessed with pink. I'm a pink-aholic. If I had my own country the flag would be pink. So imagine my reaction when I saw this.....
The individual "fabric swatch images" for this collection aren't available yet but this is one of the "Inspiration Sheets" that Holly posted over on her awesome blog. When the images are available I'll create one of my little 9 Patch Swatch thingies to show you. But for now this will have to do as a little tease of the good things to come. And how amazing would these fabrics look in the "Girl In Paris" quilt by Fig Tree Quilts.....
Ooh la la! I'll definitely be making a pink and black "Girl In Paris" quilt!

I'm also falling hard for the McKenzie Collection by Dena Designs.....
And the Lily and Will Collection by Anne Sutton of Bunny Hill Designs.....
And last but certainly not least is Patty Young's "Play Date" inspired by her two girls - Sydney and Sophie......
Well, this completes our tour of my favorite new fabrics from Quilt Market. Let me know what you think - do you have a favorite? Are there any collections that you're just dying to get your pretty, little hands on? I'd love to know!

Tomorrow I'll be back to tell you all about the patterns and kits I saw.

Happy Sewing,
