This was in a booth called the Galloping Pony. Barbara Brackman also blogged about it today. It was simple, austere and almost zen like. Virginia Cole's work is a mixture of modern and primitive and I was enthralled. Check out her website. This piece is called a Hap. Depending on the size it can be a throw or a table runner. This lovely piece could EASILY be done in an evening. I am very motivated. Particularly when she said her background fabric was our woven from Flag Day Farm. Bravo, Virginia. Below is the Moda icon - Jan Patek. 
Jan is wearing her Girl Gang denim jacket. I covet this jacket. On it, besides her signature primitive applique designs - are other Moda designer signatures. Jan asked me to sign her sleeve and at the next market my name will be stitched on by Jan. Here is the back of her jacket - stunning!
Please double click on the photo to enlarge and notice that Terry Thompson's name is misspelled. Awesome. Terry, herself misspelled her own name! I think it makes the coat more charming than it already is - if that is possible.I am literally "going back to the drawing board" to design a quilt. The house is de-cluttered and maybe I can get something on paper. Wish me luck.

Ohhh I love that quilt and that jacket.
You're so famous.
WOW! Love that quilt, what's the name of it? Thanks for sharing so much of the experience with all of us "stay-at-homes"! :)
That quilt is called Stars and Poppies. It will be posted on our website tomorrow. Thanks.

Love the jacket. Thanks again for sharing your journey!
Thanks, Laurie~ I just ordered the pattern, love ALL of your new ones! Which fabric line did you use in Stars and Poppies? Is it possible to get a kit for it? I'm a chicken when it comes to choosing fabric & color ~ probably a hard concept for you to understand since you're so darn GOOD at it~ lol! Thanks again!
Love the jacket! And the market photos!
Virginia Cole ~ Galloping Pony Studios ~ does the most amazing work. Aside from being so tiny, everything about it just seems "perfect". Did I tell you that I got to take a class from her last year? She's amazing ~ a real artist. Thank you for the pictures ~ I never made it by her booth!
So nice to meet you in Pittsburgh. Just love your new line and your booth was beautiful!
Love your new quilts - I'll have to head over to your web site. I also love "Hap" and it spurred a design idea for my table. Am I the only one, however, who can't get into the Galloping Pony web site?
I know the galloping pony was having problems 2 days ago - but I did get on yesterday. Keep trying.
Laurie
