As a rep, I am constantly receiving new fabric samples. I love it when the courier arrives and I usually rip open the boxes as quickly as possible to see what the latest fabric designs are. I'm often selling 6 months ahead of when it will arrive in the stores, so it's always exciting to see what's coming out in the future. My suitcases are constantly changing with new items added and older ranges removed. Sometimes I'm sad to see some go as they will be a favourite of mine and I enjoy showing them to the retailers and looking at them every time I open my case. That said, there is always plenty of wonderful fabric designs to replace them and new favourites are formed.
I thought I would start a new segment called "What's in my suitcase?". You will get a sneak peak at what will be arriving in your favourite quilt stores in the months ahead.

Thanks for the sneak peak, Di. I love Autumn Lily (have a bit of a Blackbird Designs collection happening ready for a mixed collection applique quilt). Wish I could fit into your suitcase for market but at least I have Market Trends to look forward to!
