Something I learned from Jenny yesterday at her trunk show

[dwil23]

All of that being said, she also said most designers usually stick to a similar palette for most of their designs, so even though a certain line is no longer available, chances are the designer will have a line that goes with what has been discontinued.

That's true. The first line that I fell in love with was Vintage Modern by Bonnie and Camille. I have noticed that their subsequent lines have mostly the same colors and look - Marmalade, Happy Go Lucky and the new one (don't remember the name). Also Ruby, the line prior to VM was similar in color and design.

That makes sense. I was looking at two of my jelly rolls the other day and said to my self, why did I buy that? they are almost the same, lol

I realized the color palette thing also. I know one of my favorite Christmas fanrics was done by Kate Spain. She has come out with new designs, but they would go with the two year old Christmas designs Kate did in 2011.

See it - buy it (otherwise you might lose it!) That's my motto

By the way - language problems again - WHAT THE HECK IS A TRUCK SHOW?

TRUNK SHOW, not truck show. She unpacks her trunk full of quilts and shows them one by one describing the patterns and designs in each. She did her show for us in October when we had our get together up at the shop/ retreat center.

Sorry I meant TRUNK - is that what we Brits call a boot? (ie a car boot sale= selling goods from the back of your car)

or do you mean a large oversized suitcase?

Yep, Sandy Gervais is one for sure.
