Boutique Cafe made some history at Quilt Market, as we are the first media outlet to offer a live feed directly from Market! What a thrilling (and scary) experience to attempt such a technical feat on my own.

Here is the raw video interview hosted on Ustream.tv of my Live interview with up and coming fabric designer Melissa Averinos about her new (candy inspired) line called “Sugar Snap”. Melissa was such a sweet person to talk with, I enjoyed our interview immensely and see huge things ahead of her, she’s just super talented. Thanks so much Melissa!

Visit Melissa’s Blog, Yummy Goods here to learn even more about Melissa and her fabrics.

In our continuing video coverage of the Spring 2008 International Quilt Market from Portland, Daria interviews fabric and textile designer Joel Dewberry. With his unique blend of Eclectic and Modern styling, he’s inspiring all of us to bring a little touch of both into our lives and homes. Thank you so much Mr. Dewberry, it was such an honor to meet you.

Amy Butler has wowed us again! Her new line appropriately named, Midwest Modern hits stores April, 2008.

Of the new fabric line Amy says:
“My collection is inspired by the vintage modern spirit of my lifestyle book Midwest Modern which just released this fall. With luscious palettes called Ohio Sky and Pink and Orange Dahlias, the colors for this group comes from beautiful summer days in my Ohio garden. The mix of organic prints are perfect for fashion, quilting and home dec projects, everything you need to help your customers create their own Midwest Modern style!”
