Spring Market Day 2

Hey again! Thanks for all the comments and tweets so far! Glad to know what you guys are curious about! If you didn't catch our post last night, we'll be tweetin' all day and bloggin' all night while we're here at Market, and we've got a Rounneries bundle and an Authentic bundle to give out as prizes to commenters and tweeters!

You would not believe our unbelievable luck. Our camera card went on the fritz at approximately 6:30pm tonight, after a full day of wonderful photos. Yup, pretty much all gone. But we promise we're doing all we can to get it on the mend for tomorrow. Sigh!! It's a "whatareyougonnado" moment :(

Anyhoo, a lot of you were wondering about what Market Sample Spree is. Sample Spree always occurs the night before Market opens, and for quilt shop owners, Sample Spree is THE night to get what you can of the collections that will be debuting over the next few days. Companies and vendors prepare tables of their samples -- it could be a Fat Quarter Bundle, a pack of patterns, quilt samples, notions -- to be sold at below their usual wholesale prices. If you've done your research right, you can walk out with what you need to show at your shop or to make up samples. (And in today's blogging age, you can "research" your heart out!) Doesn't that explain all the frenzy then? ;)

Here are the photos we uploaded before the crash (thankfully!)...

One side of the Cozy Quilt Designs booth. We just got their new patterns in today, woohoo!
