I would love to hang with Lisa Bongean. Of course I like her Moda lines, but my hand work goes to the woolie side which Lisa does like no other. Since she goes back and forth between her new CA store and her WI store, I would ask which cuisine she likes best. :-) Then meeting any of the designers, I would ask where their design influence comes from.

I would like to know their one favorite experience of a quilt they gave to someone. What pattern was it, how well was it received, and most importantly - how did they feel about giving it?

Oh I have a ton of questions! Who do they admire/look up to in the quilt world? Which part of their job do they enjoy the most? And can you take me with you? :-)

I'd love to know about their pets. Wouldn't it be fun to have a game to match the designers and their pets?

I would love to ask Lynne from Kansas Troubles...On her choice colors for all of their lines. They are my favorite and every line is beautiful. Warm and inviting. The colors remind me of a warm summer day. What do you like least about your job and how often do you quilt for yourself?

I live just outside Salt Lake. Can the general public come to Quilt Market?

I want to know how they get through the daily routines of life and still accomplish all the great creative things they do. Pay the bills, do the grocery shopping, cook the food, do the laundry, mop the floors, dust the furniture, all the daily things that take so much time and energy!

Joanna from Fig Tree speaks to me! I love her colors, relaxed designs and general outlook on quilting, family and just plain everything! and I also love fresh figs!

Oh, I NEED lunch with Jo Morton, and I'd love to ask what her favorite part of designing fabrics is, and her favorite vacation spot, and what her dream vacation would be, and her favorite dessert (not just chocolate - what KIND of chocolate, since having chocolate while working is a given), and what colorways or designs she would like to play with if she could do anything at all, and who HER favorite designer is, and what she would take with her to a desert island, and who her favorite author is, and what her favorite movie is, and would she please be my BFF, because she just might be my favorite designer.

I'd love to hang out with YOU, Ms Carrie! Mainly because your sense of humor is SO wonderful, quirky, fun! Laughter, telling stories, hanging out, sewing, playing with my dog, eating, sewing, laughing, sewing, eating... you get the idea. I'm kinda quirky like you. We'd have fun.
