Something About Nothing

The problem with going through my photos is realizing how many people I forgot to take photos of. It makes me very sad. But I'm grateful for the ones I did get. I really enjoy getting to visit with my friends in person while in Houston. If you are looking for photos of quilts, this isn't the post, just people here. Photos to remind me of the good times for those moments when I doubt myself. First and foremost are my Mistyfuse buddies.  Unfortunately Pat is missing, but these are the people I hung out with the most while in Houston. Judy Tucker , me, Michelle Banton , Libby Williamson and Iris Karp .  Teri Lucas  and I had a great conversation about the future. She has helped inspire me to walk through some doors. Hopefully great stuff happens on the other side of those doors.  Libby Williamson and I went out to Pearland to have dinner with our friend Judi Hurwitt .

She journaled all across the fabric which represents her beautiful and strong daughter. The "batting" for this quilt is rope! She stitched between each piece of rope and left the ends out to fringe on the ends. You really have to see this one up close to see how amazing it is.  Jenny K Lyons had so many photographers trying to get her picture with her "Prairie Conversa...

Before Quilt Market opens there are a number of classes, called Schoolhouse, available to attendees. The half hour classes are the place to see the latest fabrics, patterns, and products. There is no way to attend them all so you have to be picky and choose wisely. Sue Spargo "Fresh Cut" Block of the Month Quilt Anna Maria Horner introducing her newest Conservatory line . Savernake Road quilt  by Anna Maria Victoria Findley Wolfe Star Storm Mini Judy Gula talking about her book due out in January! Her book is called " Colorful Batik Panel Quilts: 28 Quilting & Embellishing Inspirations from Around the World" Jackie Kunkel's pattern Triangularity. I won a copy of this pattern so hopefully making it is in my future.  Of course a big part of the fun is being able to spend time with friends!
