I won't be there, but my quilt will!

Happy Valentine's Day! So are you a celebrate, ignore, berate or tolerate the day kind of person? We don't really celebrate the day at our house - every day is Valentine's day around here! Cheesy right? Yeah, I know ;) I did find it rather heart warming however when my daughter sent me a text, with a picture of herself attached holding her Valentine's Day gift all wrapped up for her boyfriend, sporting the biggest grin ever! :)

OK, enough of that. . . what about that header? Won't be where?? Ummm, QuiltCon!! :D Yup, Off Course is going to QuiltCon! I received an email from Michael Oakshott asking me if Off Course was still available to go to QuiltCon as one of the vendors of Oakshott in the US has a booth at the show and would like to display Off Course. . . It took me all of about about 2 seconds to yell "Hell YEAH!" loud enough for him to hear in London! So here's the skinny for all of you lucky peeps that get to go to the show!

Check out Off Course at QuiltCon! Pinwheels vendor booth, and check out the beauty of Oakshott Cottons in person!
Off Course will hang in Maria Tamaoka's booth. Her company's name is Pinwheels. I don't know where exactly the booth is but I'm sure they will have a map of vendors. Maria is going to be selling Oakshott cottons at the show! How exciting is that?? If you are going to QuiltCon, have been dying to try check out Oakshotts in person, here's your chance!! And, as an added bonus, you can see Off Course in person!! And make sure to tell her that Judy sent you! :)

For those of us unfortunates that are going to be sitting on the sidelines waiting for blog posts, IG pictures and such to roll in, you too can find a great selection of Oakshotts at Maria's online store at www.pinwheels.com. A great source for Oakshotts in the US! And just so you know, I am not being compensated in any way for this plug or for Off Course hanging in the Pinwheels booth. I love these fabrics that much! I encourage you to check out Maria's booth and feel and see the beauty of these fabrics in person :)

If you are going to QuiltCon and check out the Pinwheels booth, purty please can you send me a picture??? I am now doubly sad that I am not going to be in Austin :( I could be cheered up with a couple of pictures though ;) I hope all of you that are lucky enough to go to Austin this week have a great time at the show and share lots of pictures of your experiences there!

Until next time, keep on quilting!

  2. Oh I'm so excited your quilt will be there! I will definitely be on the look out for it and gladly send you a photo! My two quiltcon rejects were accepted for the Massdrop booth, so at least they will be getting shown off a bit :-)

  4. How awesome, Judy. I will definitely keep an eye out for Off Course and send you photos. I had no idea others like you and Renee got your quilts picked up to be shown by vendors. Cool. :)

  5. Wow, congratulations! Your work is getting well-deserved attention, and will be seen by many.

    Just curious - when you are asked to send a quilt for display, do they cover the cost of shipping, insurance, etc., or do they let you pay for the honor of appearing in their booth?

  7. Well done, it's a shame you're not able to go with Off Course. I've no idea where QuiltCon is, but I guess it's too far for you.

  13. Congratulations! You are like me and got a quilt to QuiltCon thru the backdoor! Yeah for us! My "Where's Jimmy?" piece will be hanging in the Massdrop booth #816. I can't wait to see yours in person as I am going to Austin. I am also taking my Moda Halloween quilt with me to carry around.
