Hey all! After a long, grueling, obstacle-riddled journey to the fair city of Portland (Oregon Trail after all?), we immediately went to work. No rest for the bleary-eyed! Here are a few peeks of booths we got to see....don't worry, there are more to come!
Deborah of Deborah's Designs was nice enough to give us the Sugar Candy quilt she designed for us!
And lastly, there was the always crazy event known as Sample Spree. Check out the fun at Moda's booth.
We even snagged a bundle to give away. Comment on this blog post, and we will hold a random drawing to give away this Portabello Market bundle by 3 Sisters, due out in September. Winner will be posted next Friday (not tomorrow)!
For now, good night! Talk to you more tomorrow!

Thanks for the eye candy! Would love to win the bundle!
OMG it looks like you are in fabric heaven. Wish I could stow away in your luggage.
You are so lucky to be in Portland at Market. I hope I'm lucky enough to win the FQ pack!
Thank you for always letting us in on the fun! Your pictures are great! Have fun!
Here I sit in 97 degree Hillsboro OR. Feel like I'm on the outside looking in. Wish I could be there with you all. Have a great time, and remember to chill
All these quilts are darling! This is so cool that you are sharing with all of us not getting to go! Can't find the BOM that you said you put on the site before you left.
Please add me to your drawing! Hope I can win
It looks like so much fun!
Thanks for sharing the fun!!!
Can't wait to hear about the rest!!!!
I love the daily updates - thanks so much for sharing.

Sample Spree looks like a blast. Wish I was there.
I am brand new to quilting (I'm ALMOST done with my first quilt top!) and this has been so inspiring to me. I definitely see how one can become quite addicted very quickly to this beautiful art! Thanks for sharing this.
Quilt Market looks like so much fun ... wish I was there! Hope I win the sample bundle. Thanks for sharing the goodies! :) Pat
Have a GREAT time! Wish I were there.
Glad to hear that you are having a good time! You are lucky too that the weather here is so nice, no cold wet rainy weather for your visit! Thank you so much for posting all of these wonderful pictures and for the generous opportunity to win such a lovely fabric bundle!
Market always looks like a fun, crazy time, especially Sample Spree. I can only imagine how much work it takes to prepare for all the madness!
Glad you are having fun. Thanks for having a drawing!
Does anyone know if these shows are open to everyone? I would love to go to one of these!
Thanks, Emily
Going to Market looks like so much fun! But I have to imagine that it is also overwhelming with all those wonderful new fabrics and designs. How to choose? The new Portabello Market bundle looks awesome too...reminds me of the song "Portabello Road" from the movie "Bedknobs and Broomsticks". The song is about a market on Portabello Road--perhaps that is the inspiration for the collection. Hmmm...
OK I'll join in the 500+ comments! Thanks so much for posting from Market for those of us that couldn't make it! So much fun!
Greetings from Louisiana!
I am a new quilter and also new to your blog.
Your pix make me feel like I'm walking down the asiles in Market! What fun to take them without so many people in each booth! How DID you ever manage that?? Your trip to the booths made a very dreary day in NW PA turn into sunshine in my heart! Thank you for your time & efforts on these blog booth shots! What fun!
Second time to try...count me in!!!!
Thank you for sharing quilt market with us. It looks like so much fun.
I'm jealous.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Market looks like such fun! Thanks for sharing the pictures.
And who doesn't like MODA!
WOW...looks like there are some wonderful new things at maket...especially enjoyed seeing Pieces From My Heart! THANKS for sharing with those of us that could not attend.
Living on the opposite coast...makes ever getting Oregon seem impossible. How does one ever go to such an event with enough money to buy all the great fabric you see? Have a great time and hope I win the fat quarters!!
Wow!! Quilt Market looks like Disney for quilters! Someday I'd love to go there. Please enter me in your drawing for the bundle.
WOW Love the pictures. What an amazing event
Looks like fun! Thanks for sharing pictures and offering up some fabrics to us! Thanks for giving me a chance to win~ jessica
Wow. So jealous. Beautiful pictures.
Wow, that looks like fun! Sure wish I could have been there. Can't wait to see all the new goodies in your shop!
Oh my! That Moda sample spree looks dangerous!
Well, I love the new photos from day 2! It looks like Amy Butler has done it again. There are some fabrics in that booth that I will definately have to have!!!!!
PICK ME!
I so wish we had a market like this to go to.
Enjoy!
I'm enjoying reading your journals on the Oregon Trail. It's nice to see what goes on there. The pictures are great fun. Thank you.
What a great giveaway- I love 3 Sisters fabric. Market sounds like a lot of fun. I can't wait to see more pictures!!
Sounds like great fun! Love to have more fabric!

WIsh I could have snuck into your suitcase to go! Loved seeing all the pictures posted so soon!! Laura
Wow! Market looks like a lot of fun (and a lot of work)! Thanks so much for taking the time to post your notes and pictures!
Oh, dear ... Quilt Market (for me) would be a double edged sword!! I'd go into fabric overload and want EVERYTHING or be so paralyzed by indecision that I wouldn't be able to make a decision ... WAIT ... that's what happens when I look at your website ... want it all and can't decide WHICH one to get! LOL Thanks for being on the "front line" and bringing all those wonderful goodies back to us!
Wow, the market looks great but overwhelming. Every way you look is loveliness!
I'm having so much fun checking in each day to see what fun stuff you've seen!
sounds like you are having a great time, exhausting but great! can't wait to see what you bring home!!!
Thanks for giving us a little taste of market! I can't wait for IQF now!
Oh what fun, I've been to Spring Market twice and am so sad that I didn't make it to Portland! I love the blog and the photos of the booths, thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you so much for the sharing the fantastic photos and info on market. It is so great to finally have a better understanding of what goes on at market. What a wonderful experience it must be- is your head spinning by the time it hits the pillow each night?! I go to Portland several times each year and keep hearing how good Stanford's is. Now I know I need to try it and especially the Texas Pecan Pie!
Thanks for making us feel a part of such an outstanding time.
Thanks for the great overview of Quilt Market. Please enter me in the drawing for your bundle giveaway.

Hi from Australia,looks like lots of fun, love hearing about your experience at show
I bet it's been a whirlwind trip to Portland- too bad there isn't more time to enjoy the City of Roses! I lived in Seattle for about 25 yrs, and loved to scoot down to Portland for a weekend getaway. And I'm *sooooo* jealous that I can't attend, not being an industry person!! Oh well - you've brought a lot of it to us. Thanks so much!
Betsy Pratt
Oh my gosh! What a way to live throught someone's eye's! You look like you're having so much fun & to give us photo's I feel Iam there. I hope you grab some of those cupcakes for the trip home. :) Thank you so very much for sharing with us that's very kind. Great what a great Bundle to get! Be Safe coming home!
Would love to win some fabric!! Please send it to Australia.
Cheers
Anne
I can't think of any way of having more fun than being at Quilt Market. Lucky you. I hope it is lucky me that wins the fabric!!
Thanks for letting us get a "feel" for market. I look forward to all the new things that will be coming soon.
Quilter58pink
Thanks for sharing all the great pics...wish I could be there among all that wonderful fabric.
I do so love all the updates on your trips to market. I wish you could pack me in your baggage and take me along so I could see first-hand all the pretties you find for your shop. Keep up the good work and I hope you have a safe trip.
Looks like a great market...Toni
You are so lucky to get all those sneek peeks! Can't wait to see everything!!!
Pick Me! Pick Me! I confess I am a fabric junkie - I love reading about the market. Better you than me picking the fabric - I would have to have it all. Love your online shop - visit it once a day at least, sometimes more. Hope you had a great time at the market. Now looking forward to all the new fabric coming along. Thanks so much for the pictures and postings.
Thanks for all the great pictures! It looks like such a blast and sounds like you were very productive. Thanks for the great giveaway too.
I just love the pictures and updates you are giving us about Market. It's so exciting to see what's coming around the corner!
It all sounds and looks like heaven!!! Is this what it will be like on the other side? J/K Gosh, if only!!! Would I ever love and I mean LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to win that fabric.
Thanks for the chance to win and thanks for keeping us updated on market. The pics are wonderful.

It's just like being there. How on earth do you fit in everything you want to do? Interesting to see the upcoming trends.

"Sample Spree".... ahhhhh..... drooling somewhat uncontrollably. How cruel of you to mention that when there is no chance of me being able to see it for myself. It will be fabric dreams for me tonight.....
Looks like ya'll had a blast. Makes me want to open a quilt shop just to be allowed to attend! On second thought, I'll just shop from you....
Thanks very much for all your pictures here and on Flicker - it was real treat to see the booths, the designers and what we might expect in the shop soon.
Thanks so much for all the markets info. Living in Australia means I probably have a very low percentage of checking out Portland in person, but you all make me feel like I'm almost there. If you could see my face it is a touching shade of green!!!!
Brilliant idea to take so many great photos!
Thanks again! Aussierobyn
Just when I thought I had enough to do, I see more acquisitions that just seem necessary.
Hi KImberly,to visit a quiltmarket is a dream for me ,it is to far from Holland,but maybe I have luck and win the fabric.Hope so,marianne

What fun you must be having, and my gosh 669 comments, that's a lot of reading for you inbetween market fun.
What a 'horrible' way to spend a few days.Having to spend all that time looking at new patterns,fabric and ideas.How can you possibly choose what to buy?

Thanks for sharing some of your experiences in Portland. I anxiously await for the new items to hit the stores.
I found your blog while looking for information about the Stella Apron Pattern and I'm so glad I did. I love reading it and seeing your photos. By the way, any word on Stella?
Martha
Oooh, 3 Sisters are just my all-time favourite fabrics. In a fit of lunacy, I have started a Dear Baby Jane quilt using predominately 3 Sisters fabric. Perhaps it is just asking to be named 'Dear Jane & her 3 Sisters'! Thank you for such a generous giveaway. Please count me in!
The bundle looks beautiful! Hope you had a good time at Market. Thanks so much for the blog.
I think Portland looked a lot of fun! Maybe one day I'll be able to go too. :)

Oh what wonderful fun it looks like you are having. Thank you for the posts and for the chance to win some wonderful fabrics :)
Your blog was informative in regards to the quilt market. I live 1 1/2 hours from Pittsburgh and would have loved to attend the function. Oh well, I trust you will choose well for I am one of your loyal customers.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Judy
Thank you for bringing the Show experience to us! A girl can dream of next season....
I am a fairly new quilter, just having purchased a new sewing machine and have already found that I think I need a "Twelve-Step Program" for my new addiction of fabrics and quilting in general! I cannot get enough of it, and how I wish I could have been in Pittsburg for this incredible event. The April Cornell and Moda fabrics have sewn up beautifully and one instructor told me that my Storm at Sea fabrics were obviously great quality. Purchased at Fat Quarter, of course! Keep the good stuff coming. I keep my credit card working!
I have to tell you, looking at all the pictures and reading your blog makes me want to open my own shop so I can go to the market. What excitement and eye candy, looking and shopping for all the fabrics that will make it you your shop this year. I definitely have an undiagnosed disease.
I'm SO jealous - what fun this must be!!!!
What a ball everyone must be having! Wish I could be there!
