Today, I wanted to share with you some more Japanese cute from Fall Quilt Market. (Warning: this post is long and image heavy, but I’m afraid we’ll fall behind if I don’t step it up over here! Off we go…)
First up is an adorable mouse purse, headband (!), and applique t-shirt from Melly & Me. Rosalie had two booths this year (Melly & Me, with her sister) plus her fabric line through Lecien, and I’m not sure how she pulled that off since both were stuffed with adorable and detailed pieces. I guess when you’ve been making cute stuff this long, you can do it in your sleep.
There were monkeys jumping on the bed.
I am in love with this snowman (named “Snowflake”) and may have to make a few for some little friends this Christmas. The embroidery on these doll’s faces (below) is so sweet, too.
Rosalie’s booth for Lecien was equally beautiful. There were plenty of quilts, appliqued purses, fabric bags, and more.
By the time I left the show, I really was in the holiday mood. I love this “Home for Christmas” piece. I’m craving some comfort in-front-of-the-tv sewing, so this may be perfect.
One of my favorite fabric friends is Brenda Riddle who also has a line with Lecien. Her booth was so warm and welcoming (just like Brenda). Her attention to detail just blows me away. Every square inch of her booth was covered in intricate, perfectly crafted pieces. I am so inspired by her love of her art.
Next, we’ll hop on over to Hokkoh where they had some very unique displays – including these funny cats. My favorite is the one on the left with his eyes closed.
There was also a fairly large tea set that I really liked. The teapot was quite impressive up close.
Here’s one last shot of the Hokkoh booth.
Last, but certainly not least, is Sunfelt.
Every year they come up with more new felt kits for me to fall in love with from cookies and desserts to fairytale wind-up toys.
I really love this squirrel as well as the donkey. (Can you see the tiny flower on the donkey’s bridle? So cute!)
Tomorrow, I’m thinking we’ll cover Tula Pink and a few surprises (maybe a fabric covered bike?).
