HOUSTON FALL QUILT MARKET

I was lucky enough to be invited by Robin to help with her booth, Robin Quilts, Etc.  We had a great time.  I usually forget to get pictures.  But, I have a few.

HOUSTON WE LOVE YA

Robin and I have been to Houston and back.  A little battle worn; but, we had a great time.  We went to Quilt Market and shopped till we dropped.  I'll tell you about the quilts another day.

But I want to tell you about a couple of fun things.  Here is the Convention Center.  Isn't it impressive? And yes, it looks just like a big ol cruise ship. 

Market really gets started on Friday night with Sample Spree (sorry no pictures of crazy quilters shopping like mad ).  So for lunch we found one of Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives joints called Lankford Grocery and Market.  Great burgers and onion rings in an absolutely charming location since 1937. 

And we had some fun hanging with great quilters and fabric designers like Tula of Tula Pink.  What a delightful young woman.  See that great bag.  Be looking for her new fabric from Westminster, a vinyl-covered cotton.  OMG it is great stuff. 

And who is that you say?  Yes, Ty Pennington of Extreme Makeover.  He is in the home dec fabric business now.  What a draw he was.  This is as close as I could get to take a picture. They actually had a guard nearby (complete with gun).  I guess you never know what a crazed quilter could be cabable of doing.

It was just a fun few days. Yes, Houston we love ya.

Quilt happy,

Marilyn
