Ricky Tims' "Oodles of Doodles" at Spring Quilt Market 2010

I think the photo problem is fixed! Thanks for your patience.

Red Rooster Fabrics hosted Ricky Tims for a Schoolhouse presentation at Spring Quilt Market 2010
(Music for this presentation provided by MC Hammer thanks to IHAN's creative staff?)

You know IHAN was not going to miss this presentation!! I can't say I got the best photographs but I did have a great time and enjoyed hearing Ricky Tims speak.

Oodles of Doodles is Ricky's new fabric line with Red Rooster Fabrics. It will be in stores by September/October 2010. "Circles spinning with bands of color that swirl and twirl create the ultimate in contemporary design!" is the description I copied from Red Roosters Site. I think I would have called it, "Way too much fun" and the song "Can't Touch This" would be playing in the background. - IHAN's creative staff managed to add it just for this post....cuz.....I felt like it :)

Can you tell IHAN really, really, really likes this fabric? I love the energy....and it does not even have caffeine or sugar....so just the effects without the shock to my internal organs....just the beauty in my eyes. I bet if you hooked me up to one of those brain scans my pleasure centers would go bonkers when these fabrics were shown to me. What about you? No, then close your eyes and those who say Yes....DEFINITELY YES....keep reading :)

Obviously I did not get to meet Ricky while he was giving his presentation for Schoolhouse. The next day I was able to meet him at the American Quilter's Society booth. I know why Alex Anderson likes him now.....he seems to have a kind, gentle, creative, fun-loving and sincere spirit. He posed for a photo with me but since I don't know how to Photoshop the pix I'm not posting it today. I look like Casper and I'm having one of those days (you know what I mean).

Ricky gave everyone who attended his Schoolhouse presentation a kit to make the wall hanging that is pictured above. How cool is that!!! Extremely cool indeed :) I know the gift was intended to be used by folks to make Samplers for their shops. Since IHAN is virtual.....and I already posted a photo of it (above) then why not pass this lovely gift alone to one very lucky IHAN blog reader right? RIGHT!!
