Houston Happening and Lonni Rossi

I ran into Lonni Rossi at Quilt Market. She is a fabric designer among other things.   Her shop isn't far from my home.  I have been there a few times.  Lonni has always been friendly, gracious and generous.  But this time she exceeded all of my expectations. 

I was whining a bit that there was all this fabric at the convention center and none that I could go home with.  She said come with me.  We headed to the Andover booth and she asked one of the salesmen for a charm pack .  He didn't have any.  She asked person after person until she finally found one  and handed it to me.  I was pretty speechless that she went to all that trouble.  They are squares of her newest fabric line that will be in the quilt shops in the Spring.

 So I had a little fun today and made a little quilt with all those 5" squares.  I have been interested in experimenting with the magic circle quilt pattern.  No batting, no quilting.  Fun!
