After a whirlwind visit to my first market, I have returned full of wonderful memories and inspiration. I met the most delightful people, had little sleep and revelled in all the gorgeous new fabrics ready to hit the streets.

One of the many highlights of the market was getting to meet Pat Sloan. Stay tuned because you may hear a familiar Aussie voice on her radio show soon.

I had a brief chance to wander through the international quilt exhibition. Wow, breathtaking!
A wonderful post–you got a lot of wonderful photos! It was so very nice to meet you!
Great pictures. Looks like you had a great time.
Wow! how amazing meeting all those gorgeous crafty folk. Gald you had a wonderful time. Hope jetlag is not being too unkind to you. Jacinta
Quilt market must be the most amazing place to visit. Thanks for sharing some of it with us.
Looks like you had a wonderful time! I am only a little green LOL
Fantastic!!
Great pictures, great memories. It was a wonderful time! Very nice to meet you. Glad to see you got home safely.
Great round-up Jane! Such a lot of quilting celebrities you got to meet 🙂 It sounds like a wonderfully inspiring visit. I hope to make it there one day. Xxx
Haha, I feel like that's what the Quilt Show was to me. Every day that I ditched the booth and ran through the show, but didn't really soak up that much. Next year, an extra day to actually look at everything! Great wrapup. I might have to steal the picture of me asleep…
