Report from Houston

Several of our guild members had the pleasure of attending the International Quilt Association's quilt show in Houston at the end of October. Here is Margaret Brunier's report. We will want to hear details at the November meeting!

The Houston International Quilt show was fantastic. It took one whole day just to cover the vendors and then I went again to get some stuff I didn't get the first day. I saw Arlene both days I was there. Ellen Gehring and I traveled home on the same flight. The quilts were intimidating. They were so perfect and so detailed. Threads and beads making everything sparkle. The quilt that won best of show was only the third quilt this woman had ever made. It was fantastic. It was out of a children's book she used to read when she was young.
