Only 4 more sleeps and I will be heading off to Houston with my quilting friend Mandy. We will be going to both the International Quilt Market and Quilt Festival.
My bags are mostly packed, everything is just about ready... Neither of us have been to Houston before but we can't wait to see the amazing quilts, the huge number of vendors and to experience some of that famous Texas hospitality. We will also be undertaking Longarm Machine classes with tutors such as Jamie Wallen, Linda Taylor, Sue Patten and Irena Bluhm so should be coming back with lots of quilting inspiration.
I can't wait for the adventure to begin. Is anyone else lucky enough to be going to Houston this year?
Have safe travels!! I will also be at market, would love to say hello!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant - wish I was coming with you. Have a wonderful time.

ReplyDeleteYou'll have a ball! K & K from patchwork house are going but you probably already know that! Look forward to hearing all about it, although I'm not sure you need to learn anything about LMQ?!!!
