I'm
off to Houston for Quilt Market. The stars have aligned. As such, I
am thrilled to debut a new feature fabric collection, a palette of
cotton solids and an assortment of delicious, laminated prints (my
samples arrived at the studio just yesterday). I also have several
fun, new sewing patterns to share (Henrietta is one of six new patterns).
If you're heading to Market this weekend, stop on by booth #s 1957,59 for a hello -- and a first peek at my upcoming collection, Nicey Jane™.
Bring smelling salts. These fabrics may cause fainting -- they're stinkin' gorgeous.
Can't wait to see them!

My mom lives in Houston and says the flu is all over there, so stay healthy!!

Is that a dress with a collette pattern I spy?
Posted by: mjb | October 07, 2009 at 08:11 AM
Ooo, no. My own stuff. What are Collette patterns though? Must go see.
Posted by: Heather Bailey | October 07, 2009 at 08:14 AM
Collette patterns are great, but I am so loving your patterns right now! I have made several Marlo Bloom handbags and everyone is flipping out over them. I love your ability to clearly explain the directions and the illustrations and layout of it all is perfection. I wish all patterns were so easy to read and understand. I am a huge fan and look forward to more Heather Bailey patterns. I work for the Bernina store in KC and will definitely have them on my "must have" list for our store.

I wish Montana was closer to Texas! I saw a sneaky-peak of the new fabric somewhere in blog land, Fat Quarter Shop, maybe. I am in LOVE. You're the bomb, Ms. Heather.

Have a great time in Houtson, Heather! Can't wait to see the web reveal of the Nicey Jane line. Smelling salts ready.
P.S. Love the bike in the background (of course).

I wished I could pop in :-(
Posted by: Marquita | October 07, 2009 at 09:29 AM
Oooh wish I could be there but considering how I'd embarrass myself by oohing and ahing and caressing fabric well beyond a healthy level, it's probably best that I stay here in Cali and go to a local symphony concert with the kidlets. Yes. That's probably best. ;) Thanks for your inspiration!
Posted by: Dianne | October 07, 2009 at 09:32 AM
Oh me, oh my...I am so excited I can hardly stand it! I can't wait to scoop it all up...you might watch your booth extra close! :) See ya at Market! :)
Posted by: Sarah | October 07, 2009 at 10:08 AM
Can't wait to see everything! Hope it's all available soon...waiting for gorgeous fabrics is so difficult!
Posted by: sherri | October 07, 2009 at 10:09 AM
Wishing I were headed out on a plane right about now. Quilt Market would be so fabulous! I'm so excited to see all of your new fabrics and patterns. I'm also diggin' that awesome bike in the background...LOVE it!
Posted by: Heather Roe | October 07, 2009 at 10:41 AM
Best of luck at Market! So wish I was lucky enough to be there. I CAN'T WAIT to see the new fabric, new patterns...EVERYTHING! I'm sure they are ALL amazing!
Posted by: Diana | October 07, 2009 at 10:51 AM
If I wasn't in Virignia I'd be there in a second, I would LOVE to see all your gorgeous stuff up close and personal!!!
Posted by: Kathryn | October 07, 2009 at 11:01 AM
Ah...Love your blog and your creations! In Norway it's dark, cold and stormy these days, so it's just great to find warmth and inspiration through your designs! Thank you! :)

How I wish I were at market! I cannot wait! to see them!
Posted by: Jenny Fish | October 07, 2009 at 05:29 PM
Oh how I wish I could get into the market. Maybe you could accidently drop a tiny square somewhere so I can see it in the public part. I will be looking forward to seeing your line after though.
Have fun.

Hey you are welcome to stay in our house:D

Posted by: jackie | October 08, 2009 at 01:07 PM
Ah quilt market! I was dragged along 5 years ago by my inlaws, and by morning tea I had requested a sewing machine for christmas! I so wish I was there - but I am in Australia, so its a bit far. My inlaws have made the trip though, and I have put in a request for some things from your store, esp the felt! Hope you have some there. Have a great show!!
Posted by: Taylored4Baby | October 08, 2009 at 02:28 PM
Is it me, the Henrietta link brings up an empty page? I would love to "see" it!
Posted by: Kathryn | October 09, 2009 at 04:03 AM
Oooh, I cant wait to see them, I just made a skirt today with some of your fabric....more skirts needed, so cant wait for the new fabric.

Finally! I've been lurking for weeks expecting a flash of a hint. Thanks! That'll tide me over for at least a week. How long til they're in shops? No more than a week, right?
