Boutique Café Granted Exclusive Access at International Quilt Market

Boutique Café’s Daria Muirhead, who hosts one of the most popular weekly podcasts featuring designers, “mompreneurs,” and even the occasional celebrity, was the hostess with the most exclusive interviews at the Spring 2008 International Quilt Market in Portland, Oregon.

Canada (PRWEB) August 21, 2008 — Boutique Café’s Daria Muirhead, who hosts one of the most popular weekly podcasts featuring designers, “mompreneurs,” and even the occasional celebrity, was the hostess with the most exclusive interviews at the Spring 2008 International Quilt Market in Portland, Oregon.

The International Quilt Market is an industry tradeshow that focuses on “the art and the business of quilting.” For vendors and buyers only, the show’s exhibitors offer everything from quilting supplies, machines, patterns and yards and yards and yards of fabric. Daria was on site as the only podcaster with permission to record the event.

The extensive and impressive list of well known and up-and-coming fabric designers interviewed by or Daria include Amy Butler, Joel Dewberry, Anna Maria Horner, Sandi Henderson, Tina Givens, Gina from Quilters Buzz, Jan Lutz of The Apron Lady Designs, Michael Miller Fabrics and the list doesn’t stop there!

While attending Quilt Market, Boutique Café was invited to attend the JCaroline Fabric 2.0 Party where Daria and other Boutique Café members had the opportunity to network and meet with designers, textile artists and media.

A select number of vidcasts from the Spring 2008 International Quilt Market show are already playing and Daria will continue to release more interviews and behind-the-scenes footage over the next couple months. The vidcasts are a perfect way for those who were not able to attend to get a feel for the show and “meet” their favorite designers. They are also a fabulous way win great giveaways (visit BoutiqueCafe.com for details).

Bob Ruggiero, Director of Publications & Public Information for Quilts, Inc., was extremely pleased with Boutique Cafe’s coverage, “I’m (so) happy to have some younger and hipper coverage!” Ruggiero has invited Daria to return to the International Quilt Market show being held this fall in Houston, Texas.

Boutique Cafe - BIG NEWS!!! a personal note

April 5th, 2008

Hi Ladies,
I’m so thrilled and excited I just need to share! Starting tomorrow April, 6th Boutique Cafe podcast has it’s first major Corporate Sponsorship (something I’ve been dreaming of accomplishing since way back in our first year). I’m beyond excited about who the sponsor is, but you’ll all have to drop by tomorrow to find out. Initially it’s for two months but could continue even longer. I am still shaking from excitement.

None of this would have even been possible without the members of this community. I mean it! I want to thank each of you who have inspired me, supported my efforts, listened to the shows, commented, chatted in our old forum, advertised on the site, attended our Girls Getaway, been featured in interviews and fashion shows, provided giveaways and discounts, sent in feedback , and most of all been a friend to me!! (Sniff sniff)

This is just the beginning, I’m excited for what this could mean for all of the talented momprenuers we support on our site. We have plans to make BC better and better!

Thank you for sharing in the joy with me. I hope you’ll pop by the site tomorrow and leave a comment in our new show when it goes up. Don’t forget to click on my sponsors banner so they know just how active our community really is.

XO!
Daria
