Cotton+Steel gave the opening presentation in a special session at Quilt Market on Thursday. Thursday night was Sample Spree at Quilt Market. Many of the Market exhibitors sell their wares at Sample Spree.
This was the Cotton+Steel booth at Sample Spree.
They sold all the fabrics they brought to Sample Spree in about ten minutes. It was crazy.
Cotton+Steel is the result of the collaboration of designers Melody Miller, Alexia Abegg, Rashida Coleman-Hale, Kim Kight, and Sarah Watts with the team at RJR Fabrics to develop a new division.
Here is their exhibit:
Many of the clothing patterns were from Green Bee Designs.
All the pretty bolts:
Best New Exhibitor Award ~
Swatches of all the fabrics in the lines:
More to come!

Is there such a thing as fabric brain overload? I think I might have hit it.
I came back from Quilt Market on Sunday and wow, it is a lot to take in. I took 600 pictures on my camera, plus a bunch with my phone that I posted to Instagram while I was there. (Are you following Sewing Mamas on IG? We are @SewingMamas there!)
Riley Blake sponsored a display wall showing tweets and IG posts with the #quiltmarket tag – I even have a photo of that with a Sewing Mamas IG post on it!
So, ummm, yeah. I have a lot of photos to sort through.
How many do you want to see???
