Once a year I go to Houston for the IQA Fall Quilt Festival. It is a fabulous show... beautiful quilts up and down the aisles. Thousands of other quilters with the same passion and love of quilts.
Hopefully I got to see everyone! I met quite a few new friends as well ...
Oh , we laughed until our faces were sore... Oh, and we cried too. Here we are at a Chinese Restaurant very close to where the festival is held. Dear Friends...Patricia, Mariya, Sarah and Annette miss you!!!
The show is huge, we have heard it called The Academy Awards of Quilting.
This is some of the show floor . The building that holds the quilts , venders and food area is the equivalate of 11 football fields stacked length-ways together. There are 2 other levels as well to the George R. Brown Convention Center where classes are held.
Together again with my sisters Helen Godden and Annette M. Hendricks and very dear family and friends Helen's beautiful" Freedom " quilt. The freedom she feels when she is working with fabric, colour and thread. I believe Helen Godden Teacher has started her own Australian Quilting Retreat Program.
Annette M. Hendricks with her award winning beautiful quilt The Solace of Persephone. The story of Persephone's life that was chosen for her. Annette Lectures throughout the USA.
My dear sisters I love you so much...I am so blessed to know you ... I hold you both in my heart always
I hope 3S can come together once again to create the amazing things we do when we work together!
Miss everyone very much...
