International Quilt Festival Houston

Back to Houston.

In these difficult times I thought I would present you with more images of the International Quilt Festival Houston. I didn’t have time to add them all while I was there, so now we have more time to enjoy the beauty. It also means that I can review them all again. I like to take…

A little more of the Quilts from the Houston Quilt Festival.

I flew directly to India after Houston and I still had a lot of images to share but I just rolled into the image of India. So here they are, I’m not sure what category these were in. I think it was colour. Nevertheless, they are gorgeous.

My art my joy.

I’m still get surprised that people are interested in my ideas. I’m overwhelmed and my heart flies when students smile, are happy and suddenly realise that they can immerse from the ‘basic’ edge, when they can fly too!

Lets return to the Houston Quilt Festival.

I’ve been traveling and it isn’t as easy to write an extensive blog each day. Depending on the speed of the internet in my hotel it often takes time to add the images.

So here we are 2 months later and now I can add the images I missed.

I’ll begin with Houston and I’ll add the few images I took of the Van Gogh Cherrywood Challenge 2017. I think there were 465 submissions and each and every one I saw was stunning.
