Today I'm sharing insights on new products being introduced at Quilt Market.  For those attending this event, you may want to print out this post and take with you.  For those not attending, keep an eye out at your local quilt shop or online shop, as these products should be appearing in these shops in coming months:

On Thursday, October 25th, Ebony Love will be sharing insights at School House on her new book "Big Little Book of Fabric Die Cutting Tips". This presentation will be held at 3:45pm, room 371F.  And, Ebony will be signing books in the Sizzix booth(#125) on October 27th, from 10-12, and on Nov 3rd from 12:30-2:30pm.

Friday, October 26th Phyllis Dobbs has a Schoolhouse presentation at 4:55 room 362D where you'll get to hear more about her new fabric line "Just Bee Cause".  There are 11 fabrics in this collection and a panel of cute whimsal bees:  Quilting Bee, Sewing Bee, Busy Bee, Worker Bee, Honey Bee, Fashion Bee, Spelling Bee, Queen Bee, Just Bee Cause, Bee in a Bonnet, Bee Mine and Bee Yourself.

There will be hundreds of amazing vendors at Quilt Market.  Here are a few of my favorites that I hope you get to check out.:




Cozy Quilt Designs 
There are many new patterns and a fun new quilting book that will be introduced at Fall Quilt Market (Booth #2147).  SewCalGal anticipates these new products to all be Best Sellers!

                                       

The Electric Quilt Company   (Booth #508) has several new products that they will be introducing at Quilt Market.  My two favorites are Star Power, with Judy Martin and Karen K. Stone: More Quilts!  Also, check out BlockBase that is back in stock (previously sold out for quite some time).  And, check out their new Quiltmaker Collection Vol 8, which is their latest Quilting Designs to be released.  But all of the Quiltmaker Collections are excellent for anyone doing free-motion quilting, as well as those that want to plan out quilting motifs on their projects, before they quilt them or have a longarmer quilt them.

                             

Hoffman California Fabrics

Lunch Box Quilts will be in booth #1651.  The talented Angie Steveson has designed many new creations, some for machine embroidery enthusiasts and some for those that simply want to create her designs with various applique' techniques.  Be sure to check out her new collection for ten machine embroidered towels, as these will certainly make great Christmas gifts and holiday decorations.  SewCalGal has also heard she'll be introduce a cute new "French" theme applique' design at Fall Quilt Market.

Plus, PaperPieces has a great line of products to help quilters create perfectly pieced projects using their paper piecing templates and designs.  And, you can find AnneMart Berendse in their booth, who is the author of a fun book called "Decorate Your Shoes".

Again, I do hope if you are attending Quilt Market you have a chance to visit some of SewCalGal's favorite vendors and attend some fun and inspirational School House Sessions. For those, like SewCalGal, can't attend Quilt Market, I hope you keep an eye out for these new products in your local quilt shops and/or online shops, as they should be appearing in these shops in the first half of 2013!
