By far the cutest fabric booth, all Japanese import goodness was collected in one place, a few square feet of complete Zakka things!
I spotted this book and against all expectations someone there (an angel maybe ?) let me buy it. Right on the spot, with American Money! I can't understand a word of course, but the garments are beautifully simple and I should be able to figure it out. It's mostly a question of what size to choose, being that Japanese women are tiny (I suspect so much). ISBN978-4-579-1183-1, may not be out quite yet. Some inside pictures here and here.
The booth was filled with items made of Trèfle fabric often available from SuperBuzzy or the Reprodepot.
Most of the objects sewn and displayed looked right out of Cotton Time. picture here.
Kokka Fabrics is also previewing the brand new Heather Ross line: Rabbits and Race-Cars.
I got to meet Heather at Bolt where she was previewing a new line for Free Spirit called Mendocino. She is so nice! Very approachable. Incidently Denise Schmitt was there too, tiny, shy and sweet!

The next best thing to going to the Quilt Market myself is seeing it through your eyes... Thank you, Juliette! Can't wait to see what you make from your new book...
