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!
