Houston or Bust......

Don't get me wrong I've enjoyed our cross country trip...which I've made twice before...once as a teenager and another as a mother of a 4th and 6th grader...both times I remember having an absolute blast.  This time I did too, but with an adult view of how different this country is from east coast to west....

I am so glad we have arrived in Houston for Quilt Market...only one quilt is not done....come on that's pretty good.  Kristin did finish it in time for set up....whew!!  Here's a look at our booth, the last quilt done is the larger purple one hanging on the left in this photo....

Our hand-dyed Osnaburg is front and center, we love the linen texture of this fabric as well as the way it takes the dye...it has a sueded look. 

Caught Kristin doing paper work.....
Introducing 3 more quilts in our line of modern quilt patterns and kits.  These reflect our take on the modern quilt aesthetic
This quilt is named "Data"....it is out of our hand-dyed Osnaburg.  Up close it has a primitive vibe, but is surprisingly modern looking, soft and about the weight of a flannel quilt. 
Osnaburg is a very old fabric provided to slaves on plantations for clothing.

Here is "Windstorm"....this quilt was designed using our fabulous hand-dyed Kona cotton highlighted in Modern Quilts Unlimited Fall 2013.  Our hand-dyed burlap and Kona cotton are one of the fabric lines featured in the "Focus on Color" section by Carol Zentgraf. 

Last but not least is "Visions of Plum".....this quilt features our new hand-dyed Pimatex cottons, which we are dyeing in various multi-color ways.  Here we are featuring our purple multi-color way, Visions of Plum, thus the name.  This yummy quilts' fabric is most similar to the weight and feel of batik fabric.
