One of the best things about Quilt Market - in my opinion - is getting to see new things to make, and learning how to do it. Tips and tricks - even this "old dog" has plenty to learn.

So in addition to new fabrics, these are a few of the other things we're excited to be sharing and debuting in Kansas City.

Sarah Watts of Crafted Moon. Sarah will be sharing her clever, creative and "crafty" art in the form of prints, cards and gifts. We'll be sharing more about Sarah and Scott soon. Until then, Sarah will be in the Notions booth on Friday, May 17 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm and on Saturday, May 18 from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.

Deidre Meyer of Meori will be showing our favorite Meori storage boxes, bins and totes on Friday from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. Do you know about the Meori collapsible storage? I'm a fan as these bins are terrific for keeping WISPs together. (Works in Slow Progress.)

This is the Small Foldable Box - I might have one or two in Hibiscus Red. And the Tangerine Mini Boxes... they are my favorites.

We'll also have a demo table in the Notions booth where - in addition to the book-signings - we'll be sharing a few of our favorite new projects. Jen Kingwell has a terrific template tool to make Bunting using Layer Cakes and Charm Squares. There's also the Bitsy Box by Ticklegrass Design - the cutest little boxy zipper bag ever. (Ever.) And the Zakka Workshop Pretty Patchwork Squeeze Pouch. For shops, these are great classes. For you and me? All three were fun to make. (Ask me how I know.)
