Yesterday was my 3rd day in Houston at Quilt Market. I met my Vancouver friends, Karen and Liz, and we finished going through the 500+ vendor booths. Then we headed over to the quilts, were I showed them my four quilts that are on display at the show.
- Floating, Drifting, Falling in the Fibre Art Network Canadian Content exhibit
- Inside the Tipi in the Tactile Architecture exhibit
- Spring Blossoms and Spring Beauties in the Celebrate Spring! exhibit
Here are two of them at the show. The quilt next to ‘Spring Blossoms’ is ‘Hollyhock Cottage’ by my friend Sally Manke.
Then we looked at lots of the other quilts. I still haven’t seen them all, but I’ll go back later this week, and I will see them all before I leave!
In the afternoon, I joined my Houston friend, Robin, and we left with her husband Randy on a road trip to Austin. We drove through beautiful Texas scenery. We stayed overnight in Austin, which is a beautiful city, then today we visited the Texas Quilt Museum. Robin and Randy treated me to some Texas-style food, incuding fried green tomatos, catfish and okra . . . mmm.
Then back to Quilt Market for a lecture by Angela Walters. Here’s a sample of her fabulous machine quilting that she showed during the lecture.
Quilt Market is over now, but Quilt Festival is about to start. Tomorrow I will attend 2 classes, and the IQA Winners Circle Celebration.
Great to see your work there! Glad that you and Robin are having some time together.
Wow Terry! Looks like you’re having a wonderful time with all those quilts and friends around you. I’m so glad you were able to spend some time with Robin and Randy. How awesome that you have 4 quilts in the show!
Congrats to you….am so glad you are having a super time and meeting up with online friends. Enjoy your classes.
That’s great that you could see all FOUR of your quilts at the show! I’m so proud of you! Everything sounds wonderful – thanks again for blogging and sharing the excitement!
