Houston International Quilt Show Part One

I was fortunate enough last week to be able to attend the International Quilt Show in Houston. This was the last edition of the Bernina Fashion Show. This gorgeous outfit was by Rochelle Harper. It looked great in person but washed out a bit on the runway. I liked the fringe on this outfit by Heidi Lund.

I loved this pieced red coat by Janelle Archer.

This was a fabulous quilt.

Philippa Naylor and her prize willing quilt. Hard to show.

Sharon Shambler and her Grand Prize Winner.

The quilt just glowed and so did Sharon.

I took a great class with Katie Masopust. One of the exercises was to draw on a huge sheet of paper blindfolded and then cut the result up into interesting shapes.

One of the first evenings when the show wasn't yet open we vendured off to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner and to the upscale mall next door. Connie St. Clair couldn't resist trying on this super expensive jacket.

It was all made of tiny ribbons.
