November 15, 2011-- Three Little Quilters Went to Market...
                                 Three little quilters came home!!
Mita Chaterjee, Sarah Phillips & Melisa Morrison
Program Committee Hostess – Cindy Johnson

           
            Three little quilters went to Market. They were busy as could be. 
           They wandered thru the aisles, to see what they could see.                 
           They couldn’t take it all with them, they could only pick a few.
           They made the perfect choices. Choices for me and you!  They 

            They gathered all their goodies. 
            They stuffed them in a box. 
           They put them under lock and key and have pretended they were rocks.
           Now wouldn’t you like to get at them? Wouldn’t you like to see
           Those perfect quilting choices, made for you and me?                       

Don’t ya just love new quilty gadgets? We all want tools/ideas/fabrics that will allow us to make more, and more beautiful, quilts! Most of us won’t ever get the opportunity to go to Quilt Market in Houston where new gadgets, fabrics, tips and techniques, and so much more, cover a huge arena and are just waiting to be gobbled up by all the

visiting quilters. Fortunately, we get to vicariously experience a taste of the Market through 3 of our area quilt shop owners!! Mita Chatterjee (Patchwork Cottage), Melisa Morrison (Sweet Home Quilt Co) and Sarah Phillips (Intown Quilters) are headed to Texas and have agreed to be our on-site investigators while they are there. They are going to tell us all about their experiences at Quilt Market and will have scouted out the good stuff and brought some of it back for us to see. Don’t miss it!!                                                         Cheri Gilleland
