We just got back from h+h Americas in Houston, and our camera roll is bursting with quilts, fabrics, and fresh inspiration. The show floor was packed with creativity, and we spent our days catching up with friends in the quilting industry and getting a sneak peek at new collections, patterns, and products headed your way. Here are a few highlights from our trip that we can't wait to share. ### Starting at Sample It We kicked things off at Sample It, and of course, Kimberly found a few treasures to bring home. She snagged the Cozy Collection by Stacy Lee Creative, a new collection from Elizabeth Hartman, and a handful of other fun finds. It's always exciting to see what catches her eye first. ### Around the Show Floor At Art Gallery Fabrics, Kimberly spotted some denim fabrics from The Denim Studio that she loved as potential quilt backgrounds. Seeing fabrics in person can spark completely new ideas, and these definitely made it onto her list. We also stopped by Lila Gardunia's booth to check out her new Scrappy Trees. Kimberly is a big fan of foundation paper piecing, so these were an instant favorite. Another highlight was seeing Wendy Sheppard's Good Neighbors Quilt in person for the first time. The little houses, gardens, and intricate details throughout the quilt were incredible. We're looking forward to working with Wendy on more projects soon. ### Riley Blake Designs at h+h We always love seeing what's new from Riley Blake Designs. We stopped by Lori Holt's display to take a closer look at her projects, books, and colorful yarns. Kimberly spotted some adorable stockings in the booth—you can find the pattern in Lori's brand-new book, Granny Square Along! We also spent time exploring more upcoming Riley Blake Designs collections and catching up with designers throughout the show. ### Moda Fabrics at h+h Moda Fabrics was another major stop during our trip. We visited with Moda designers, saw upcoming fabric collections, and took plenty of photos of the quilts and projects filling their displays. Getting to see all of these fabrics and finished projects together is always one of our favorite parts of attending a show like h+h Americas. ### Until Next Time, h+h Americas! We came home from Houston with lots of inspiration and even more ideas for what's ahead at Fat Quarter Shop. Thank you for following along with us during h+h Americas! We can't wait to share more of the fabrics, patterns, and projects we spotted as they make their way to the shop. Which h+h Americas find was your favorite? Let us know in the comments!
