I realize that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I really did enjoy seeing things that weren’t quilts.

As you all know, I’m so busy running the store, trying to keep things running, making bundles, figuring out what the next trend will be, and maintaining my sanity, that I don’t have time to quilt. I leave that to Becky.

So, you can imagine my delight when, at Quilt Market, I found just scads and scads of beautiful things to look at that weren’t quilts!

Cork, batting, thread, patterns and even just display racks. I found it all so very fun and fascinating.

Come along with me on this journey of beauty of non-quilts!

No matter how many pictures you take, you realize when you leave that you simply didn’t take ENOUGH pictures!!

And there’s never enough hours in the day to describe everything you saw.

Next year, make your plans to go to Quilt Festival. You won’t see all that I saw, because I saw the Market side of it, but you can see different things and you can enjoy all the sights, too!
