In this industry, Quilt Market is often the only opportunity I get to chat with my colleagues, since we live all over the place and live very busy lives. I especially love to spend time with other small business owners at the show. The two owners of Cloud9 Fabrics, <span class=\"st\">Michelle Engel Bencsko and Gina Panastico,<\/span> and the other two organic fabric companies in this market (stay tuned!) are among my favorites.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_65081\" style=\"max-width: 760px;\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/lullaby-layette.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-65081 size-large\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/lullaby-layette-760x369.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/lullaby-layette-760x369.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/lullaby-layette-500x243.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/lullaby-layette-768x373.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/lullaby-layette-1240x602.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our Oliver + S Lullaby Layette pattern sewn in some of Cloud9&#8217;s lovely interlock knits.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I still remember the first Market when Cloud9 made their appearance. Their presentation was so fresh and new; we instantly bonded. And I&#8217;ve enjoyed staying in touch with them ever since then. They are two lovely women who work hard and are passionate about their work. So passionate that when Michelle and I sat next to each other once on a flight home after Market, she worked away on her laptop, finishing up a fabric collection she was preparing for their mill, while I slept through the whole flight. I was probably snoring directly in her ear. She&#8217;s a hard worker!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_65084\" style=\"max-width: 760px;\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/sunny-day-shorts.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-65084\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/sunny-day-shorts-760x473.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"473\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/sunny-day-shorts-760x473.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/sunny-day-shorts-500x311.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/sunny-day-shorts-768x478.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/sunny-day-shorts-1240x649.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our Oliver + S free Sunny Day Shorts pattern sewn in some of Cloud9&#8217;s soft interlock knit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In any case, when I saw the Cloud9 knit stripes on their Instagram I reached out immediately because I knew they would be perfect for our <a href=\"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/shop\/girl-on-the-go-dress-top-sewing-pattern.html\">Girl on the Go Dress<\/a>.
