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 color and design of the Kaffe quilt.

Emily and Sandy admire these hearts made of roses.

They took a class together and are excited about making these art quilts.

It Takes the Case often had a crowd of people around it.

Abe Lincoln made by Virginia Greaves is a striking piece. I follow her blog.

Emily and I pose with the infamous carpet between the Hilton and the Convention Center.

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!

I love the sunshine and happiness of Laura and Frieda’s quilts

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!

Quilt Festival–Houston, TX

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. 

Here is my sister Emily admiring another one of Libby’s quilts.

I really enjoyed visiting with the maker of this quilt.

This kaleidoscope by Paula Nadelstern caught my attention.

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

The Best of Show is “Chihuly”s Gondola” by Melissa Sobotka.

 This smaller quilt called “Wind” by Masanobu Miyama is exceptionally well done.
