Spring Quilt Market Information

Wonderland Fabrics by Melissa Mortenson of polkadotchair.com for Riley Blake Designs

I just wanted to pop in here and let you know that I will be exhibiting at the Spring International Quilt Market this week in Salt Lake City. Quilt market is a “trade only” show that is held twice a year. Companies involved in the quilting and sewing industries showcase their latest products so that stores from around the world can see what they have to offer.

This year I’ll have a small booth in the Riley Blake Fabrics area at market.  I’ll be showing lots of fun ideas (and 3 new quilts!!) that can be made my Wonderland Line of fabrics.   I’ve been busy sewing for the last 3 months and don’t have anything to share with you quite yet, not because I’m trying to keep it a secret but because I haven’t had the time to photograph anything yet, the last 3 weeks have be absolutely crazy!

Retro Travel Bag Sewing Pattern by Melissa Mortenson; makes a cute weekend bag and can be made with leather straps or sewn purse handles. Would be a cute DIY summer travel bag.

 

I will also be doing a schoolhouse session at 2:35 on Thursday in room 251B. I’ll be sharing a bit about the inspiration behind my Wonderland line and chatting about my new sewing patterns. If you’re going to be here, please stop by and say “hello”.

If you’re not going to quilt market no worries! You can follow me on Instagram or Snapchat (user:polkadotchair) I’ll post updates of all of the new and fabulous things I find throughout the weekend. I’ll also be sure to share lots of photos and a full recap when I get back!

  1. So the general public cannot attend this event?? And I live so close to it.
    I’d love to meet you in person and see your creations up close. I love your designs for this year and your Southern
    gingham travel bag is so beautiful. That would be a wonderful kit to buy!!
    Please go over to the Grand America Hotel and get some treats from La Bonne Vie- they are delicious and it’s right
    there in SLC.

    When can the public buy your fabric and kits? Inquiring minds wish to know…
    Enjoy yourself at Qulit Market!!

    1. I’ll have the printed pattern out soon, I’ll let you know if any stores decided to carry it as a kit. You can buy a PDF of the pattern now by clicking on the PATTERNS link at the top of the page.

  2. Thank you for all the great ideas!
    I have a quick question-
    Will you be sharing the pattern for Erin’s quilt using the Wonderland fabrics and railroad stripes?

    Really great!

    Thank you
