Hello From Texas! Here's a great shot of the Houston Convention center at sunrise... Days start early, and one needs a good hearty breakfast to walk the 8 football field long area of Quilt Market... The Trade show for peeps in the Quilting industry.
Below, we were at the book signing, and Kaffe said, we should be doing this as a video, not realizing we already were...Here's a short clip from it:
All in attendance from the book: Michele Musks, Myself, Leslie Tucker Jenison, Brigitte Heitland, Kaffe, Liza Lucy, Tula Pink, Amanda Murphy, Kaari Meng, Amy and David Butler, heather Grant, Alissa Haight Carlton,Katie Pasquini Masopust, Hoodie, Jina Barney, and the Lovely Jo Packham, who put together a beautiful book. Sadly my storage on my iPhone filled up, and I could't record the whole event... But, know that we were having a great time. LOL! ( Of course we were!!)
More to come... off to rest my weary head, Yes it maybe work, But it is a whole lot of fun also... can you tell?
I think this should be my 15 Minutes of PLAY assistant!
It's plain to see that you are having a very good time! Enjoy every minute of it! and thanks for sharing so those of us who aren't there get peek into the "window of Market"!
ReplyDeleteHi Victoria, You all look like you are having so much fun in Texas! Absolutely love,love your star quilt at the market. Have a great time.:)
ReplyDeleteFun!!! I cannot wait to get a copy of that book. If you run into Kaffe again, thank him for me for his wonderful biography. I devoured every word and it changed my life. Now, quit reading comments and get out there and have fun! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is just the most wonderful picture of the Convention Centre. I live in The Netherlands and was lucky enough to be able to go to the Quilt Festival 3 years in a row. It was just the most wonderful, exciting, fun, inspiring quilting experience ('Festival' is the correct word, what a party). Unfortunately I am not able to go this year, but that picture shows how I felt every morning in the taxi going towards the Convention Centre, all that promise of a wonderful day ahead! And I can now finally show my family over here how big it really is! Have a great Market! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI've worked markets like this (different industry) and I know it's lots of fun, so inspiring and very stimulating but so much work too!! Thanks for all the fun photos.
ReplyDeleteOh ... I want to see a close up of that star quilt, please!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing! you all look like you are having so much fun. I'm surprised that you bring the Juki with you - it is such a heavy machine! I am so glad that I have one too I love it but I'm afraid mine sits on the sewing table all the time as I am too much of a wimp to carry it anywhere :) thank you for giving me your input on the machine before I bought it.
ReplyDeleteOh my that sure does look like fun! Don't forget to get some sleep :0)
ReplyDeleteHappy Sewing
You look like you are having way too much fun! Congratulations on all your successes at quilt market and this year!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a great Market! I always think the George R Brown looks like a cruise ship in the middle of Houston-
