What We Found at h+h Americas 2026 That You'll Want for Your Next Quilt

We just got back from Houston, and our camera roll is basically bursting with quilts, fabrics, and enough inspiration to keep us stitching for months. The h+h Americas show floor was packed with designers, new collections, and products that are heading your way soon. We walked miles, chatted with friends, and got up close with some truly gorgeous textiles. Here are a few highlights from our trip that we think you'll love. ### Starting at Sample It We kicked things off at Sample It, and Kimberly? She found a few things to bring home, of course. She snagged the Cozy Collection by Stacy Lee Creative, a brand-new line from Elizabeth Hartman, and a couple of other fun finds along the way. 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 immediately loved as possible 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 see her new Scrappy Trees. Kimberly loves 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. We loved all the little houses, gardens, and details throughout the quilt. You can reserve it now, and we're looking forward to working with Wendy on more projects to come. ### 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, including the adorable stockings Kimberly spotted in the booth. You can find the pattern in her brand-new book, Granny Square Along. We also spent time seeing 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 cannot 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?
