Quilt Market 
Here We Come!!!

Well I took a week off to re-coop and spend some time with my family up in Montana!
Let me say something about Montana, if you haven't visited I would highly recommend going to see it. Mark & I put on our snowshoes and and hiked around Big Mountain (Whitefish, MT). We also went and visited some Quilt Shops in Montana and they are all super excited about the new line of fabric that is coming for the Spring Quilt Market in Portland.

The booth is rented and ideas are flowing now if I could just find a way to create time to do everything that I have to do that would be great ;) 

So I have a question for all of you...
What would you like to see this year at Quilt Market from Open Gate Quilts?
Books, New Patterns, Rulers, Giveaways???

Would love to see a review of how to use your rulers. I have them but need a refresher. There used to be a video but it is not on line anymore that I can find. Tia.

I would like to see photos of booths, particularly booths that aren’t from major fabric retailers. We can see lots of those on Instagram. Thanks. I hope you have a great time, now that you have gotten refreshed from your Montana visit!

I have an older set of fit to be geese rulers, small and large 2007 model. I can't find out on you tube how large a piece of fabric I need to start with. Lost instructions, well i have had these a long time and they are still never been used. Now that I'm old I need to make a flying geese quilt, because now I am brave enough. I watched a vid from Missouri Quilt co. But she had a new version, 4x8. I don't see any need to buy the newer ones when these will be great once I know what sIze fabric to cut my triangles from.

Please help me. Don't send to google account as I never check it. Use vwinstead@tampabay.rr.com, thanks.

I saw a quilt kit on Craftsy that would be perfect for my son. They said Safari Park is your pattern. Can you sell it without the kit? I would like to make it different colors.
Thanks for your time!
Love your work.
