England Designs Trunk Show From September 7th—28th Hoppin Bobbin will feature the work of Cynthia England, an internationally known quilting instructor and quilt pattern designer. Cynthia is most well-known for her Picture Pieced quilts. Cynthia's most recognized quilt, Piece and Quiet, was chosen as one of the "The Twentieth Century's Best American Quilts" in 2000. In addition to this award, Cynthia won Best of Show at the International Quilt Festival in Houston for Piece and Quiet in 1993 and for Open Season in 2000. We invite you to come and see her work and try your hand at her fabulous patterns!

and of course Dots to compliment it all. We’ve ordered Jelly Rolls and Layer cakes for our Moda Bakeshop. Now we are waiting to see what you will cook up with these tasty fabrics. We’ve also ordered Punctuation and A Simpler Time lines and are anxious for their arrival. And last but not least, Breakfast at Tiffany’s has beautiful soft fabrics and a pattern that looks completely different if you mirror the colorways. It was hard to convince everyone that it was actually the same quilt pattern. We hope you have fun with these lines and are looking to see what new projects you should discover.

Spring Quilt Market 2010 How can I explain Quilt Market? An overwhelming football field sized room with everything you can imagine for quilting. Sound enticing to you? It was amazing! The best in fabrics, patterns, notions and new ideas…… all at your fingertips. The classes and seminars were fantastic and we came home with so many new ideas, I think it will take us years to implement them all! We met so many friendly people that all had the same passion we do… quilting. Thanks so much to Pam Lee and Shirley Rouse who at-

tended with us. Their ideas and expertise were invaluable and I so appreciate them being there with us! (I think they had a pretty good time too!) Hey girls, remember to just say “NO”.
