Quilt Market: Lori Holt

As you may have seen on my Instagram, I'm participating in Fat Quarter Shop's Scrappiness is Happiness Quilt Along using Lori Holt's book and Fat Quarter Shop's free sampler pattern. Since the fabrics and patterns are now available, I thought I'd give you a glimpse of the World of Lori Holt of Bee in my Bonnet's section on the Riley Blake booth at Quilt Market in Houston. 

Check out that cute flower quilt on the left below Calico Snails. This highlights the Quilt Seeds patterns in the pots at center stage using Lori's Calico line.


The pattern for the center quilt with the heart-y globe is in the World of Lori Holt Catalogue, a 3-hole punched binder of the endeared designer's fabric collections, patterns, books and notions. The tree quilt on the left is Plaid Pines. Fat Quarter Shop has a YouTUbe video series if the pillows on the bench strike your fancy.




And for a visual tour, here we go...


See you again soon!

Quilt Market: Riley Blake

Riley Blake had quite possibly the most formidable booth at Quilt Market. It's my pleasure to share some of the many projects featured. Orchard by Jill Finley of Jillily Studio comes to shops in April 2023.


This vibrant wall of quilts included (left to right): Majorelle II by Raija Salomaa of Quilters' Treasure Chest; Dino-Roar by Laura Piland of Slice of Pi Quilts; unknown but I'd wager a Quiltworx pattern; Joujou, Colors of the Wind II and Magic Potion by Jaija Salomaa.


Lost at Sea by Natalia Juan Abello was made up into the You, Me and the Sea Panel Quilt by RBD Designers.




Jillily Studios patterns including the Knitted Row-Along, Trellis, and A Walk in the Park were made up using the Fable collection by Jill Finley.


White As Snow is a holiday collection by J. Wecker Frisch. On the right is a quilt from the Wintery Project Booklet.


This sunny corner of the booth showed off the Summer Solstice Quilt by Bradley and Judel Niemeyer of Quiltworx, and Party Pop and Exploding Heart by Laura Piland of Slice of Pi Quilts.


Vintage Christmas II by Erica Made is very cute made up in Twas.


If you're into flying insects, you'll love Harmony & Fortune by Heidi Pridemore of The Whimsical Workshop and Flutterfly by Laura Piland of Slice of Pi Quilts.


I'll be back soon with more fun from Quilt Market.
