Tied Baby quilt from Max and Bunny Fabric for Becca

August 29, 2014 by shelley

Tied Baby quilt (fabric from Max and Bunny)  for Becca’s about to be born daughter!

Becca is a new featured designer with her Max & Bunny line at Andover Fabric. (Andover Fabric is a wholesaler, but lots of places are starting to sell her line: i.e. Fabric.com and several sites on Etsy: The Fabric Cobbler, You Made Something, Stitch Stash Diva, Forever Patchwork.  Andover Fabric also carries the Downton Abbey line.) I decided to use some of Becca’s fabric to tie a baby quilt for her soon to be born daughter.  Since she is having a girl I went with the pink.

I first laid out the fabric and batting and reverse side fabric and pinned all over.

I decided not to use a heavy yarn to tie it…it is such a clean, crisp design I decided to use embroidery floss.  I debated between the yellow and pink but decided on the pink.

I placed the ties geometrically and evenly spaced.

Max & BunNY at the New York Stationery Show 2015

Max & BunNY at the New York Stationery Show 2015

Max and BunNY made its fifth appearance at the National New York Stationery show at the Javits Center.  The National Stationery Show is  in its 68th year, and is the world’s most comprehensive marketplace for greeting cards, stationery and related lifestyle products. No other trade fair in the U.S. matches the depth and caliber of stationery selection at the NSS—or serves as the launching pad for so many young, creative businesses each year.

This year it was called “signature mix” since it combined the Stationery Show, Gift>it, and C & LA (creative and lifestyle arts).

Becca’s Max & BunNY was booth number 1546 and we spent two days setting up (most of the second day was waiting for the can lights to be set up directed at her booth-you have to be there to direct the beam where you want it to shine on the booth.)

This was the first year (after four previous showings of Max & BunNY) Becca did not go with the foam core designed walls but finally had a more “permanent” booth constructed.  She had it shipped from Richmond, VA in these massive crates which were also exclusively constructed for Max & BunNY.

We had no time for sight-seeing in New York City but I did snap this picture of the Empire State Building:

And once we had all the tear down completed we walked the High Line Park  to Chelsea Market for dinner along the High Line Parkway.  The High Line is a 1-mile (1.6 km) New York City linear park built on a 1.45-mile (2.33 km)  section of the elevated former New York Central Railroad spur called the West Side Line, which runs along the lower west side of Manhattan; it has been redesigned and planted as an aerial greenway. A similar project in Paris, the 3-mile (4.8-kilometer) Promenade plantée, completed in 1993, was the inspiration for this project. The High Line currently runs from Gansevoort Street, three blocks below West 14th Street, in the Meatpacking District, to 30th Street, through the neighborhood of Chelsea to the West Side Yard, near the Javits Convention Center. Formerly the viaduct of the High Line went as far south as Spring Street just north of Canal Street, but the lower section was demolished in 1960.
