I have to admit that I have been procrastinating doing this post because it seemed so daunting and that is because the Houston Quilt show was so daunting! Wow...is that place BIG!! I thought Paducah was big but you can probably multiply this place by TEN.
Here's a selfie with my sister-in-law and myself with a "portion" of the vendors behind us.
Here's a couple more views.
These pictures don't even show where the quilt display even started.
Where do I begin with the quilts?
Oh my!!
I know you have seen many posted on many of the blogs, but I will share a few of my favs.
There were applique quilts.
Holiday quilts
Hawaiian quilts.
Log cabins.
Whole cloths.
Antique reproductions.
This one had 80,000 pieces! Yes, you read that right. This quilter has to have had a lot of patience.
Baltimore albums.
Dolls
The Lion King
Beautiful colors.
Animals
This one reminded me of my grand-dog, Maggie.
Leather quilts
Dear Janes
A whole display of "dot" quilts. Sorry these are on their sides, but notice the second one. Can you see the hidden word (even though it is on its side!)
I could go on forever, but I just loved how this elderly lady was stitched. Just look closely at her arms. This quilt was amazing.
I have so many more pictures. Just believe me that this show was fabulous and if you ever get the chance to go, it was well worth it.
You will be taking lots of "rest periods" though. There is a lot of walking in big crowds.
Well worth it though.
Hope you enjoyed the "small" number of quilts that I have shared with you.
My next post will be a little bit more about our Thelma and Louise adventure.
