I just got back late last night from QuiltCon in Austin Texas.<\/p>\n

There were hundreds of amazing quilts.\u00a0 You can see a small sample of them here<\/a>, including the award winners.\u00a0 And Luana Rubin’s Flickr page<\/a> gives a good idea of what the quilts looked like hanging in the show.<\/p>\n

It was a wonderful opportunity to see the quilts ‘up close and in person’, attend inspiring lectures, spend time with friends and fellow quilters, enjoy great food, buy fabric, etc.<\/p>\n

I took lots of photos.\u00a0 Here are just a few of my favorites, starting with me standing in front of my quilt.<\/p>\n

This was my pick for Viewers Choice, GLITCH by Susan Strong (another Canadian!).<\/p>\n

\"GLITCH!<\/p>\n

Here’s a rusty metal armadillo I spotted on our way to dinner one night.\u00a0 I wonder what’s in the grass?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We had to stop at Gourdough’s Big Fat Donuts<\/a> food truck, even though the temperature had dropped to almost freezing – I’m talking about eating donuts outside<\/em> in 3 degree Fahrenheit weather!\u00a0 They were worth it!<\/p>\n

Yesterday, we had to wait a few hours in the Austin airport for our flight home.\u00a0 We found a wonderful place to relax and enjoy some great wine and food – Vino Volo<\/a> – very civilized!<\/p>\n
