Houston Quilt Festival


I learned to know Kathy Kansier a couple years ago in Hattiesburg. I sat in one of her lectures and then got to visit with her later.

Susan Cleveland makes pretty, precise, patchwork. She designed some tools to make the precision easier.

I love the simple patterns of Blue Underground. I’ve made the Union Station quilt like what is displayed in the bottom right corner and the top left corner.

Alex Anderson is so warm and personal. It was like she enjoyed visiting with little ole me!

When I met Mary Mashuta she was as glad to see me as I was to see her. She found her twin sister Roberta Horton so we could have a picture together. Their mother grew up here in Mississippi in Brooksville!

The exhibit of quilts made by Libby Lehman is spectacular and very special.

I was so pleased that Libby’s son Les and sister Ellen let me pose with them in front of one of Libby’s quilts.

This quilt was inspired from a sketch this lady doodled and colored with her grandson.
