Missouri, New York…. and Australia

I got home from my recent trip around 1 am Thursday morning, after a statistically predictable delay at LaGuardia Airport. (gosh, how many times have I had delays going into or out of that @#$% airport?!)

However I had such an exciting trip to Quilt Market and New York City that I had plenty to dream about during my hours sitting on the runway. *smile* Good thing I packed my own peanuts in my purse.

Last fall at Quilt Market in Houston, the big buzz was the Modern Quilt Guild – but this time we found those modern quilters and sewists being integrated into the industry, with their books, patterns and fabric collections being offered by many of our suppliers. Did we buy them? You betcha! As a corporate sponsor of the MQG's Feb 2013 conference – QuiltCon – and a speaker at this gathering – I am very excited to see the development of this fresh take on sewing and quilting.

After 3 jam-packed days at Quilt Market in Kansas City, I flew into Newark at midnight Sunday night, and was moved to tears when I saw the Freedom Tower illuminated on the site of the World Trade Center. It was lit up like a torch – pretty hard to miss – as construction continued into the night.

Monday I went to the Javits Center for 3 big trade shows that run concurrently. If you follow me on Facebook you know that I ran into my fellow Color Marketing Group members in the lobby of the convention center, which was very serendipitous if you ask me. I also visited several of our featured licensed designers in their booths, and attended the color trend presentation by my CMG friend Lee Eiseman (exec director of the Pantone Color Insitute) who is the author of a fabulous new book "Pantone: the 20th Century in Color". We were supposed to have lunch but she had to cancel because she had leave to be interviewed by a reporter from a famous TV show which I can't mention just yet. *wink*

Tuesday I met an old friend at the Metropolitan Art Museum to see the "Impossible Conversations" Schiaparelli and Prada exhibit from the Met's Costume Insitute. It was very interesting – couldn't possibly top the Alexander McQueen show last spring – and IMHO was not as fabulous as the current YSL show at the Denver Art Museum – but still definitely worth seeing. We also took a guided tour in the Met's new Islam wing, and I snapped lots of photos of textiles and ceramics. The colors in this new wing are so lush, and the intricate allover designs were very inspiring.

Now that I am home and trying to catch up on my gigantic scary To Do List (not to mention all the emails in my gigantic scary Inbox) – I have finally posted the last 3 videos from the show in Melbourne Australia.

We now have 7 videos from this show – Have a look and see what those creative Australian quilters are up to!

Many thanks again for my camerawoman Pam Holland, and also for Bonnie McCaffery's editing and production.

I am leaving for the Irish Quilt Festival in 10 days! Stay tuned!
