Hello!! Well, I went to the Really Big Quilt Show in Houston! Went on Wednesday, came home yesterday.Wednesday night: Show Preview. Vendors and quilts. Enjoy catching up with roommates, and running into a few old friends. Diana was the Quilt Angel in the Top Ribbons area!Thursday: Bus Tour to Galveston Area. We went to three LQS, and one scrap book shop. Lunch was good. My two roommates and I had Mexican Dinner at one of our favorite restaurants.Friday: two lectures, both oriented toward design. Those helped me look at the exhibits with a different point of view. I spent the short time I had for lunch looking for the RCTQ Table but could not find it. That was a disappointment, but I had to scoot to the next lecture. I understand I missed lots of Chocolate!! Boo!That night, I enjoyed a fabulous RCTQ get together at an Italian Restaurant, Josephine's. (I wore my new hat!) There were 16 of us, some who I knew already, and some who were visiting Houston for the first time, including Pati, Barbara, and Jeanne. Pati brought chocolate. Yea!On Saturday I was happy to have breakfast with Sandy F and Judy, who were staying at my hotel. Sandy and I went to some vendors together, and we both got free books at the Pfaff booth. Later, I met up with my friends Sheryl, and her DH, who live in another part of Texas. We hadn't been together since 1999!! I taught Sheryl how to quilt way back. Sheryl brought me a group of Western Theme FQ, and I met her sister! Mostly, it was wonderful to see them again.Then I joined the RCTQ Bunch. I saw some 'old friends' (Ragmop, Diana, Kellie and Kids, and more) and finally had a chance to meet Butterfly!! Yea! We took lots of photos. The visit was too short ... it always is!! I didn't even get a chance to give some farewell hugs. (Pout)All in all, I saw many, many beautiful quilts, and a few I didn't especially like! All were of interest to me, as I absorbed ideas for color, set, quilting patterns and so on. Two of the quilts wearing ribbons...

Kellie, I was amazed at the number of Houston-area quilters I ran into who did exactly that!
