Quilt Market 2010 - Houston!

I am back from Houston with lots of eye candy from the show. So fun! I'll spread it out a little throughout the week. First up... the adorable Alexander Henry booth all done up in their upcoming line called Larkspur, and vintage toys. Don't you want it all? The toys... and the fabrics?

It appears that birds and owls (which are birds, I know) are going strong in fabric trends for this year. New themes? Lots of architecture, trees and camping! Really cute stuff for boys. SO stay tuned all week for more pics from the show!
And remember that any comment you leave this week could win you Jaime's lil Mod Podge kit which is perfect for a project she has lined up for y'all. So talk to us!

WHERE, oh where can I get my hands on a Fisher Price sewing machine?!?! I'm dying. The awesome floral in pic #3 isn't helping.

Awwwwwwww! This is so cute! Wish I know where to find fabrics like this in our place. Just read your blogs a few nights ago. Borrowed my neighbors sewing machine and now my eight month old baby is wearing his denim booties! Will definitely make more baby things from your tutorials! :D

I NEED that primary-color vintage playskool sewing machine for my son! I just googled "play sewing machine" and the only things that came up were all pink and girlie. I hate the fact that modern toy manufacturers automatically equate sewing with girls. What century is this again?

Whoa, I need to find that toy sewing machine for my daughter for Christmas. How cute! We're moving and I'm going to have a sewing room, how cute would that little sewing machine look set up next to mine?! She'd love it!

Ok, drooling on my keyboard over here. I'm starting a 'big girl' room for my 20 month old and she NEEDS, yes NEEDS that bird fabric! And she might need that toy sewing machine for Christmas. She's pretty needy.

There's some pretty cute fabric hanging around there that is just calling my name... 'Take me home with you, buy me and make me into something cute for little D... We need you!' Can't you just hear it?

Man I keep getting on here to find something specific but then I forget what I was trying to find because I get stuck on all the yummy pictures like the ones in this post!!! Goodness I feel like I could pass on the sweet stuff this baby is making me crave because you guys keep giving me so much eye candy...ok maybe not quite but almost! ;)

Oooo, I want, I want, I want! I think I'll be spending my ENTIRE fabric allowance on Alexander Henry fabric. The fabric in the third picture would/will make a beautiful dress for my daughter and maybe a matching skirt for me. When does it come out?

Squeeeee! I must own the lil sewing machine.....oh, I mean my daughter must have it. I love the styized bird and owl (yep, owls are birds too) themes, real birds - not so much!
