Direct from Minneapolis

This weekend was the...

in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This is where quilt shop owners buy fabric for their stores. I did not go because we have decided it is just too difficult for me to fly with my breathing issues. Not to worry. Direct from Minneapolis is...

working straight out of his suitcase...fresh off the airplane...ModaMark.

No that's not his real name. That's his nickname because he is our sales rep from Moda. And he was nice enough to bring the show to us today. We met in the kitchen at my dad's office because we can't get into our store for a few more weeks.

First off, Mark gave me a little gift. I was very excited because it is...

FANDANGO!!!! The newest collection designed by my friend Kate Spain. How awesome is that!!! Hmm...notice the new size? It is called a candy bar. A new twist to the Moda Bake Shop.

Then Mark showed us all of Fandango. We ordered the entire collection. All 40 fabrics and nine matching flannels.

Then Mark brought out a bunch of new fabric. It was a little overwhelming.

Oh I like this one. It is called Dream On by Urban Chicks. I love the PJ's in the picture. I want to make some of those.

Oh here is my favorite I think. It is called It's a Hoot by Momo. My mom really liked it to.

Then came Happy! But guess what? I was not happy. Just kidding:) Check out this post. I love the dog. We ordered this entire collection too. Then it was time for me to go to music therapy, so I had to say goodbye. My dad took me so my mom could stay with Mark and get all the paperwork finished. The fabric we order today will not be arriving until September and October, so I have to wait a while.

It was nice to meet you Mark. Thanks for coming and for my candy bars:) Oh I forgot to mention the other one in the box was Breakfast at Tiffany's. But you can't really eat that one either. Ok gotta go.
