The First Lady of Quilting, Karey Bresenhan, and McCall’s Quilting magazine Editor-in-Chief, Beth Hayes
It was so fun to talk with these two incredibly talented ladies.
Karey Bresenhan, founder of Quilt Festival and Quilt Market — a totally remarkable lady!! Karey was inducted into the Quilters Hall of Fame in 1995.
I found a way-cool treat while visiting the Quilts.com website — when you visit the home page, there will be a link for you to click on that will take you on video tours of Quilt Festival. Or you can visit the online Festival Gallery here.
The quilt shop in Paris that Karey spoke of can be found by clicking here: Le Rouvray.
One really fun event that you can do while attending Quilt Market/Quilt Festival is to take one of the bus tours that are offered along with the class schedule. Make sure to peruse the itinerary, even for Chicago and Long Beach festivals. The one place that Holly and I treated ourselves to before returning home was on one of the bus tours — Hi Fashion Fabrics — An oh-so-groovy store filled with fabric goodness — Holly and I treated ourselves to fabric we could never find at home for some hand-made skirts and dresses. I can hardly wait to get to them.
Beth Hayes, Editor in Chief of McCall’s Quilting magazine, also a lovely and gracious gal. You can visit McCalls’ Quilting online and check out all of the details for McCall’s Quilting Adventures. Don’t forget to visit the Quick Quilts online spot as well.
Stayed tuned for more Market offerings — coming soon!!
