A Day of Fabric Designer Stalking

First, there was Patty Young, and she gave us a sewing lesson! http://modkidboutique.blogspot.com/

Then there was Paula Prass. Kristen helped her with her Twitter. http://paulaprass.blogspot.com/

Then there was Amy Butler, and she is taller than me! (skinnier too) http://www.amybutlerdesign.com/inspiration/

Finally there was Lila Tueller. http://lilatuellerdesigns.blogspot.com/

The Drama! The Excitement! Sample Spree!

The line was long and wide...

....very, very long,

but, thanks to Kristen and Kristina, we were in the front!

...And we were interviewed for a television show. We're not sure how we feel about that. I wish I had fluffed my hair and freshen up my lip gloss (Kristen looked adorable as always).

We Met Pamela Mostek!

Wow, a great weekend with great people, and time to talk to quilt artist Pamela Mostek. http://www.pamelamostek.com/

Look at this beautiful art quilt. She couldn't be more gracious. She answered everyone of my tedious questions about her techniques and materials.

She uses this great raw-edge applique technique where the borders actually float onto your quilt.

Here's another gorgeous quilt where she has combined reproductions with batiks...it works and it is beautiful.

We are looking forward to developing our relationship with Pam. Here are a few of her books we hope to have in the store soon!

Quilt Festival Time!

We are at the Walla Walla Quilt Festival! Kind of makes us feel like we are official. Please come by and see us. Tell them Ann sent you, from the blog.

Fridays are Community Sew Days!Bring your project and join us for Community Sew Day at Stash. Do your sewing in a fun supportive environment (and we'd love to see what you are working on!) Quilters are the nicest people.

Lost on the Streets of Walla Walla

Fabric is heavy, right? One should be able to approach 4omphs without worrying about what might fly out of the back seat of your car with the top down, right? Maybe not... Lost: a few strips of Jason Yenter's Wintergraphix for In the Beginning fabric. Finished project revealed soon...after I cut a sew a few more strips for my new nine-patch quilt. Aargh!!

A Little Math

Sherry + one Go! cutter + 9 by Sanae for Moda =

One pretty cute little quilt.
