Let me just say that if I had the time and inclination to spend with a couple more ladies at quilt market, besides my quilter and friend Meloney, Gina and her mom Kathryn would be the two I’d want to be with. 

Kathryn, Meloney and Gina

Kathryn is the owner of the online quilt shop, Quilt Kits and Quarters.  Kathryn has a fabulous new laser cutting business that made me drool.

Gina is the owner of the online quilt and embroidery shop, Splinters and Threads.  Gina has one of the hottest going set of templates for quilters at market.  Big things are happening for this lady!

And, of course, Meloney, who has gone to quilt market with me for the second year in a row.  She is SO wonderful in helping me keep my hands off of things that cause my skin allergies to flare up, drag my rolling cart around with all of our goodies and keep me on track for where we need to be and what we need to see.  I couldn’t ask for a better bag lady 🙂

Kathryn, Mary Mann and Gina

In this photo above, Mary is Gina’s tester, and Gina says she keeps Mary QUITE busy stitching and testing.  She was helping Gina in her booth.  She even laughed with us and had no clue who we were!  hehe

I don’t know what it is about those three women, but we end up laughing our fool heads off when we get together.  I think we need to plan a get-together in the near future – just so we can giggle and laugh and just enjoy the quilting friendships that come with a shared passion.
