More Houston

I met Ebony Love.... I did... and... she is taller than me!!! Who knew? I am sure that made us instantly BFF's right? Cuz I am sure that with all the other thousands of peeps she met.... I am the one she remembers .... Alright - you can laugh now!!  

But I did meet her - and she was SO nice. See - Doesn't she just look nice? (and look the orange brings out my red .... so well!)

Here are a few more quilts.  This one just had that awe factor ... it's one of the first quilts I saw - and it just stood out!

Check out that quilting..... Oh my.

And I did not get the sign for this one - so I don't know who made it - but seriously - it is amazing!!

 The thought that went into this one - and the quilting - wow!

Look - I did get the card for the next quilt - made by Carol Nilsen!

 I think it looks like LA when you are flying over it - what do you think?

 Check out the Quilting.... again - Ohmy!!!

I am still working on the other pictures - I forgot how much work it was catching up to things that got *undone* while you were gone!  

And tonite - I am speaking at Adams County Quilt Guild in Northglenn.... come see me ;-)

International Quilt Festival

I took way way way too many photos - and had such a great time seeing all the quilts... I think I may have to do a few posts - so you can see the yummy quilts!!!

I got to Houston on Wednesday night - just in time for the grand opening of Festival... along with 400 million gazillion other people!!  It was crazy - but so much fun. I met so many wonderful quilters. Loved the enthusiasm!!

 Here is me working... (stolen from kevinthequilter.blogspot.com)  But I really was working!!! I promise. I am not sure sitting down ever felt SO good!!!

 Kev, Dar, and Ann came and took me to lunch... well really - they took me to wait in line lol - I tell you - those lines for food were long!!! People get hungry shopping though - I get it!!


And then - I found the Moo-ston display.... these are not all of them - I have a picture of each one - I promise - but these just tickled my little soul!!!

A lot of them I remembered to take the picture of the quilt card, and then I must have just gotten so excited... as I missed a few!

Just so you know - this cow is totally on my bucket list!!!It comes from Out of the Box: with Easy Blocks  written byMary Lou Weidman - and I am totally getting it.... My own Christmas Present!!

A long time ago - before I married Wrangler Man I had purchased a few Dairy cow items for my kitchen. And of course, Dairy Cows are not really considered "ranching" to my cowboy family, so they have been stowed away.... and Beef Cows have taken their place.... ....  don't you think I could get away with a quilt like this though????

 I showed my family these pictures and they all just cracked up - Love it!!

So.... have you ever made this cow before?  and would you like to see more of International Quilt Festival quilts?  ( please say yes - I took 574 bazillion pictures!!)
