Hi guys! Here we are in Minneapolis, MN, finally (after the usual airplane delays, broken airplanes, aircraft changes, etc. You know the drill). No photos from traveling, because you'd probably just see some frustrated faces! Anyhoo, we're ready to see what Spring Quilt Market has to offer. (If you don't know what Market is, you can read about it in this previous post.)
Tonight we kicked off the start of Market by doing a little mingling at Fabric 2.0 (a meet & greet for bloggers) hosted by the always charming j. caroline. Chatted with the know-it-all of fabric, True Up's Kim Kight, and met Kelly Stevens, Melissa Averinos, and Betz White
We only got to stay for a little bit though, because...
Then we headed to Sample Spree!! Yes, it's every quilter's dream to rummage through Sample Spree. In fact, the first ladies to enter the room rushed in at full speed, shrieking like someone was chasing them! (Someone had asked if Sample Spree was a free-for-all; it can feel like it, yeah! The goods are future release lines usually, at greatly reduced prices so shops can get it ahead of time and make samples for their stores.)
Anyhoo, here's what waiting in line for this event looks like...well, it's even longer than it looks...
And the doors are finally opened! Hurrah! And watch out!
People we saw...
Anne Sutton with a little "Scooter Pie" goodie made from her own fabric for Moda, Lily & Will! So darn in love with this line, especially since little Will Jolly is one of the namesakes!
Barbara Jones of Quilt Soup, showing off her patterns and fabrics for Henry Glass, including her newest Hip Holidays!
Barb & Mary of Me and My Sister Designs showing their Moda lurve.
Kaari Meng (French General) and Joanna Figueroa watching the madness from a safe distance.
Money shots of the Moda booth, pre-crowd!
And what we snagged for tonight's Sample Spree giveaway!! A Bliss Fat Quarter Bundle and a Maison de Garance Fat Quarter Bundle by Bonnie & Camille and French General!
So how do you win one of these beauties? Get three chances to win like so...
1. Comment on this post with whose booth you're excited about seeing!
2. Retweet this blog post on Twitter!
3. Comment on our Facebook wall!
This giveaway will end on Monday, but come back tomorrow for more giveaway fun! OK, talk soon!

Do you hyperventilate, when you are looking at all the new fabrics and tools that are soon to be on the market? I do!
It looks like it could become a fabric feeding frenzy! There are so many ideas motivated from seeing the new fabrics!
I'd love to see anyone's booth in person (I live in almost outback Australia)... living vicariously through you, I enjoy looking at everything that's on offer. I feel that I'm looking into the futur, as a few of these ranges won't make it to my lqs for quite some time.
Love the fat quarter packs, fun to create beautiful quilts with the packs.
Have fun at market.
Love seeing Joanna Figueroa all dressed up and her new fabric line.
I'd love to see Fig Tree's booth, Minnick and Simpson, and always - Amy Butler.

The fabric keeps getting better and better. Can't get enough. Bliss would be heavenly right now! I'm sure Bonnie and Camille's booth is amazing.
quilt market looks like so much fun!!!
Would love to win a bundle. I think I would go to Blackbird then French General.
I love seeing all the pictures. Wish I could be there. Love everything. I really liked seeing all the booths. I especially liked Sherri Falls block of the month and Laurie Simpson's Halloween apron. Can't wait to see that new halloween line. Thanks for the chance to win. Karen M
I got to see the Thimbleblossoms booth in MN - I'd love to win that Bliss FQP!!!
I have not even looked at all the pictures yet, but I always love the mimick and simpson booth. I always love their designs and fabric.
maryj18
I am so breaking the tenth commandment right now! I would be in heaven if I could see Thimble Blosom and Cotton Way. So lucky!
Thanks for the great giveaway! I can't wait to see more of French General's new line and Sweetwater's Pure line or anything else from Moda:)
I tweeted, I promise! I just don't think it notified you cause I am not the smartest at figuring that stuff out! You can check to make sure http://twitter.com/ramandan
I'm excited about seeing EVERY booth, but particularly Camille's...she never ceases to amaze me. What a great bit of eye candy!
That pile of Bliss makes me giddy! Look at that yummy mix of red and aqua :)
Most excited to see more of Bonnie and Camille and Riley Blake... Oooh and AMH!
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing all the quilt market fun! I was excited to see the Thimble Blossoms booth, the Bunny Hill booth and the Sandi Henderson/Michael Miller booth.
I love the BOM w/the new French General line. It is beautiful! My other favorite is Miss Rosie's Brown Betty.
Ladies...thank you for all the great pics...this was the best start to a Monday morning!!! I'm really hoping for a Bliss bundle...a great end to a Monday :o)
Thanks so much for a chance to win!! Loved to see the Bunny Hill booth. Can't wait to see and touch that beautiful fabric!
Thanks for sharing the wonderful pictures from quilt market. I always look forward to seeing the Minick and Simpson booth as well as Bunny Hill Designs. They were awesome! And your giveaway is awesome as well. Thanks!
Oh Wow! Love both lines of fabric. I could use either one. I actually went to market, and was so overwhelmed by the Moda crowd, that I kind of lost my interest in buying anything. I was so mad at myself for not fighting harder to get one of the Bliss lines, so if I could win it...I'd be a happy girl! Thanks for the chance.
Beautiful fabrics, oh what a great time ya'll are having.
I was really wanting to see the Moda stands, Michel Miller, Happy Zombie's gnomes in situ, they are amazing. LOve the look of the yummy Maison de Garance, thanks so much for all the pics.
I would have to say excited about seeing anything Moda! Thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures of the show. Makes us non-market people feel like we're there! How exciting!
I think the Moda both would be my favorite! I alsp like Me and My Sister paterns and colors.
Oh, I <3 the new line from Bonnie & Camille!
I may be late--but I've been reading about market here and there and the excitement is palpable! How fun! So sign me up if I make it!
I would love to go to Market someday - and see Amy Butler's booth. She is guaranteed to have something wonderful!
Thank you for the giveaway!
Of course the Moda and Amy Butler fabrics!
It looks like it was so much fun! I wish I would have been there!
Aloha-
