Although the weekends are always eagerly anticipated, I tend to quietly rejoice on Monday mornings. Calm has been restored and we are all back to our weekday rituals.
The Sisters' Market on Saturday was great fun. It was an early start to the day, but with some help from my sister, for which I am ever so grateful, our stall was set up and the quilts displayed as scheduled.
I also have my MIL to thank for some of the display props which made setting up the stall easy, and added so much charm to the overall look of the stall. Check out the huge collection of buttons stored in the vintage glass bottle! Oh envy!
It was such a great opportunity to actually meet some really lovely like minded (and incredibly creative!) people. The blogging community has been so warm and welcoming, and to actually meet some of the people who read my blog made my day at the market a very rewarding experience. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello!
I can't wait to see which one you're attempting! MO2 is my night time reading! (Sad....but true!). I love staring at these patterns over and over - you see something different every time. Good luck and stay cool.
ReplyDeleteWhich one are you going to do?? I'm going to do "Coming up Roses" and just got all my fabrics together last week. I'm so excited about it. I wish I could just stop working and make that quilt!! Aren't those books amazing? I wonder if they are going to make any more. I have mine by my bed to read too, when they are not lent out that is!
ReplyDeleteThe stall looks fantastic Rita!!
ReplyDeleteIt was really nice to be able to stop and chat with you and Karen (if only briefly due to one hyperactive little fairy).
ReplyDeleteI hope it was a rewarding day ... in all senses of the word.
Andi :-)
How fun to get to meet some of your blogging friends. Your display and quilts look so bright and cheery. I need to look into getting the Material Obsession books....I've heard so much about them. Enjoy your Monday!!!
ReplyDeleteYour tables look so lovely. I have that book too, can't wait to see what you are making. You make such lovely quilts and sooo many of them too.
ReplyDeleteI am right there with you about Mondays. I love the hubby at home for weekends but I find myself selfishly dreaming of Monday morning!!!
ReplyDeleteHave yourself a wonderfully fruitful week!!!! I plan to do the same!!
It's still Sunday night here -- I'm so not ready for Monday! Your quilts all look gorgeous. Can't wait to see what you're working on today!
ReplyDeleteRita - the booth looked fantastic! You are such an inspiration!! I might just have to snag one of the Material Obsession books...even if I don't ever attempt one of the patterns, I'm guessing it's fun to look through!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous display! Is that some sort of chest the quilts are coming out of in the first picture? I'm trying to plan out my display for my first craft show next Saturday, and I love the idea of having little "props" around to set the mood. I might have to go digging around the house this week for something similar, if I can find the time!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pics from the market Rita, your stall looks fabulous. I get what you mean about pretending it's not hot, it's so hard to sew with sweat trickling down your back!!! xo
ReplyDeleteOoh Material Obsession 2 is on my wishlist! Your stall looked great... so lovely to see all the quilts piled up!
ReplyDeleteThos piles are just lovely to look at!
ReplyDeleteWhat a collection of beautiful quilts! They look so good together.

I'm glad you enjoyed your market day, I was hoping to stop by but kind of got my dates mixed up and ended up at the Red HIll Market, thinking the Sisters Market was safely tucked away for Sunday **pregnant brain**, well that's my excuse anyway:) As for the heat...lets just say Im seriously not enjoying it:( Tam xo
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the Sister's Market with me - I had a great day and your stall looked fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI can totally understand that Monday morning 'breathing out' after a weekend like that. Your stall looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh Rita! I could just fall asleep in your big pile of quilts!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I WANT that book! ;)
XO, Heather
I love this huge pile of special and wonderful quilts presented at your stall. I think I am in love with more than two ore three of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration you are for us!
